"Wen" by Chaz Dean in Sweet Almond Mint

So I was approached last week by Guthy-Renker and I was asked to try one of their products. I was flattered because in the past, I have seen infomercials related to these items by Wen, and I was tempted to try them then. I got my package today and I was impressed because they sent me a full sized 12 oz. bottle of the Wen by Chaz Dean Cleansing Conditioner in Sweet Almond Mint.

The directions are to rinse hair thoroughly and completely with cool water for at least 1 minute. Cleansing Conditioner should be applied in four sections: the crown of your head, the nape/back of head, ends to the left side of your hair and ends to the right side of your hair.

*For hair above your shoulders, use a minimum of 24 pumps, (6 pumps per section).
*For hair down to your shoulders, use a minimum of 32 pumps, (8 pumps per section).
*For hair past your shoulders use a minimum of 40 pumps, (10 per section).
*For hair to your mid-back use a minimum of 48 pumps, (12 per section).

Add a splash of water to help evenly distribute through the ends and massage vigorously into scalp for 2-3 minutes. Comb through with a wide-tooth comb and clip hair up for the remainder of the shower. Leave on for at least 3-5 minutes. The longer you leave it on the better for maximum results. Rinse with cool water thoroughly for 1-2 minutes by massaging your scalp and running your fingers through to the ends. While hair is soaking wet, apply 1-3 pumps of the Cleansing Conditioner as a leave-in conditioner starting from the back of the head through to the ends.

For thicker/coarser hair increase amount of pumps in order to thoroughly hydrate and cleanse the scalp and ends.

If you choose to rinse and repeat, use half the amount of suggested pumps for each cleansing.

Water (aqua), glycerin, cetyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol, chamomilla recutita (matricaria) flower extract, prunus serotina (wild cherry) bark extract, , rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf extract, ptunus amygdalus dulcis (sweet almond) oil, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, hydrolyzed wheat protein, panthenol, butylene glycol, behentrimonium methosulfate, stearamidoproply dimethylamine, polysorbate 60, PEG-60 almond glycerides, amodimethicone, citric acid, menthol, methylchloroisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone, fragrance limonene...(whew)...
