Hi everyone! 
Ive been using the Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner for about 2 weeks now and Im in  LOVE ! My hair feels and looks amazing and the shine factor is intense. It also seems to plump up each individual strand and makes my hair so incredibly lush! The issues I have with other shampoos are, either they over clean and leave my hair and leave it frizzy and dry or, they weigh my strands down and it looks/feels greasy and unmanageable/limp.
FYI: My hair is virgin (no color), fine (but full), prone to dryness and splitends. I do blowdry it (90% dry) and use a flatiron on certain parts.
Product description: Thick, white, cream softly scented of mint. Very slight tingling scalp sensation not overpowering at all, perfect!
From the website: Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner
A universal cleanser created with the perfect balance of herbs and natural ingredients, to not only cleanse your scalp and hair, but to also moisturize, strengthen, nourish and add sheen. It is designed to eliminate shampoo and it’s harsh effects, without sacrificing the integrity and Beauty of your hair. WEN is the only Cleanser/conditioner you will need to use in your daily routine, and can be used as often as necessary. It works particularly well on fine to medium texture hair. It is also recommended to be used as a leave-in conditioner.
Packaging: I got the 16oz bottle, comes with a pump style despenser, label and bottle look great displayed in the shower.
Price: $28USD for 16oz, with shipping came to about $38.
Overall: I really like this product, it gets my hair clean with no residue and does not leave it feeling stripped. It feels exactly the way hair should, soft, bouncy and healthy. My hair also seems to stay cleaner longer when using this, meaning Im only shampooing every 4 days or so.
Ok, I know this stuff is not cheap but, if you dont go overboard I think this could last long enough to justify the price. The usage directions say: For hair down to your shoulders use a minimum of 30 pumps, past your shoulders 40+ pumps and above your shoulders 20 pumps. To me that is way too much, granted my hair is only about 6 inches long at the longest point but, Im only using about 4-5 pumps for my whole head. You just have to take a bit longer to work the product around the scalp and add a bit of water to help the process along.
I give this 10 stars, I will repurchase as long as my budget allows. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this stuff!

| Hmm very intrigued by this method of cleansing but can someone explain to me how this is good for oily scalps? I mean, wouldn't it be worse? |
No its not worse at all. Dont think of it in terms of a traditional conditioner, more like a non-lathering moisturizing shampoo. I lean towards having an oily scalp, like I posted in my review I can go longer in between shampoos with WEN.
andaman_gypsy--you can use any kind of ACV, I use Braggs organic...I dont think the brand really matters though. I get a huge plastic cup and fill 1/4 with ACV and the rest with warm water. WHen you are in the shower rinse your hair really well then pour half the ACV mix through you hair and massage it in, after a few mins rinse the other half through and repeat. I leave it on a total of about 5 mins. Rinse REALLY well and then start the WEN. Remember its important to rinse the WEN out really well too. |

My hair is below my shoulder blades. I have a lot of it, but it's thinish.
I went to the salon to buy my products -- sweet little place, btw. This is what they said to do. Wet hair - duh. place 10 to 20 squirts in your hand. But they're little squirts - you're not letting the dispenser go all the way back up. I hope that makes sense. Work it into your roots. About 30 over your scalp, another 10 through your hair. It probably totals a handful. You can add a little water if you want - it will make it spread more. Scrub away, almost like you were shampooing. Comb it through, clip it up. Take the rest of your shower. Then rinse really well. They said that's where some people have a problem. Not rinsing enough. Then after I rinse, I take a tiny blob and spread it through my ends. Then I towel dry.
Boy, I hope that makes sense! |
