Weekly Product Review-Wen Cleansing Conditioner

Hair care is something that is different for all women. One thing that all women have in common however is that our hair can determine our days sometimes. Even the most intelligent woman in the world can feel defeated if she wakes up with a bad hair day. Hair can often represent femininity weather it's long and beautiful or short and sexy. Depending on the length or texture of one's hair the products or tools that are used differ. Most women however, have  damaged their hair over the years in some way or another. Most of this damage is not from heating or product buildup but is from daily shampooing and stripping of our natural oils. It is the sulfates used in shampoo that damage the hair and even the scalp stripping it of healthy oils. To give an idea of this, sulfates are used in basic cleaning products that harshly clean our homes or dishes and these are the same ones used on our head. 


The advice I have gotten over the years was to not wash my hair more than twice a week.This was always a problem for me personally because I am what you would call a clean freak and showering is a non negotiable part of my day.  The thought of going days without washing my hair still makes my skin crawl, I could go a day or so but never longer than that. So the thought of shampooing once a week has definitely never been an option for me even though my hair is long and thick. I have always tried to find the best shampoos and used this as a solution. Unfortunately I realized that most shampoos, even organic ones still damage the hair and make it appear puffy and dry. The homemade options seemed appealing but I was still determined to find a product that I felt cleaned my hair but didn't damage it. 
Wen cleansing conditioner is the perfect product and was exactly what I was looking for! Wen Cleansing conditioner is a product designed for the specific concern that me and most women out there have about not shampooing everyday. It is basically a one stop shop for all of your hair needs but is very effective and natural. This product takes the place of your shampoo but still manages to clean the scalp and hair but not strip it of its natural oils. It also acts as a conditioner, detangler and leave in conditioner. It doesn't contain any sulfates, synthetic dyes, petrochemicals, or any other harsh chemicals. Wen contains Glycerin, for added moisture to the hair, chamomile extract for its soothing and calming properties, Wild Cherry Bark to help condition the hair, Rosemary extract to soothe and cleanse the hair, and finally Panthenol, which is designed to restore resilience and strengthen the hair cuticles. 

This product is perfect for broken or brittle hair that has been over processed from coloring heat styling and relaxing. It is clinically proven to reduce frizz by up to 50%, increase hair strength by up to 70% after one use, and give hair 95% less breakage after one use. It is truly the answer to healthy, shiny and manageable hair. It is used just like a shampoo would be, adding a little to the head during your shower. Because it is technically not a shampoo, it does not lather like most harsh shampoos, but not to worry because I promise you your head will feel fresh and clean. This is a revolutionary product that I would recommend to all of the girls I know and one I am recently obsessed with! http://www.sephora.com/fig-cleansing-conditioner-P378313?skuId=1501576
