WEN® Hair Care:

New Conditioning Only System

Celebrity stylist Chaz Dean presents, an industry-changing product line that is the first ever to exclude ordinary shampoo. What sets WEN apart from the rest is its cleansing conditioner, a single-step process that cleanses and conditions the hair simultaneously. The cleansers are made with natural ingredients, and contain no sodium laurel sulfate or other damaging detergents found in shampoos. They don’t lather; rather, they create smooth foam when mixed with water.

So dedicated is Dean to the belief that shampoo can be harmful to hair that he has not used ordinary shampoo on himself or his clients in 14 years. Though it’s a tough sell the first time he tells a client he will clean his or her hair with conditioner, Dean says they quickly understand. “Everyone thought I was having an early midlife crisis when I stopped using regular shampoo,” he says with a laugh. “But it’s funny, the most reluctant clients become the most loyal and dedicated.”

The concept of not using regular shampoo is something Dean began to implement in 1993, he explains. “I have been a hairstylist/colorist since 1985 and began to develop products for other hair companies in 1986. Seeing the results of clients using shampoo, I knew something had to change.”

At that point, Dean started to explore his concept of cleansing without the use of detergents or harsh chemicals. Instead, he began cleansing with astringent and antibacterial properties that don’t lather or strip the hair, and the result was added sheen, luster, moisture and strength in the hair. “Color lasts much longer, and it stimulates the scalp, promoting blood circulation and healthy hair growth.”

And how did the name “WEN” come about? “In addition to it sounding like ‘Zen,’ the system is a completely reverse way of looking at cleansing the hair,” he says. Thus, “WEN” is “NEW” spelled backwards.

WEN is now selling its Sweet Almond Mint 30-Day supply kit that includes: 1 – 12 oz. WEN Cleansing Conditioner, 1 – 2 oz. WEN Styling Crème, 1 – 2 oz. WEN Re Moist Intensive Hair Repair Mask. FREE Bonuses include: 1 – 10g WEN Texture Balm and 1 – WEN Wide Tooth Shower Comb for only $29.95 (plus s&h).
