[REVIEW] Wen by Chaz Dean -- Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner
As a part of the WEN Beauty Bloggers meetup a few weeks ago, us bloggers got some WEN haircare goodies to try out. The product that I received was the Wen by Chaz Dean Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner. I've been using this product ever since I got it and I have to say I am hooked!

What I think:
When I first got this I wasn't sure what to think! My first thought was 'where is the shampoo?', but after seeing the demo video at the bloggers meetup I understood what the product is about! It is a revolutionary product since I know people will use it the wrong way. I find that this is the perfect way to cleanse my hair without stripping my hair of natural oils.
I use it by first wetting my hair and taking one entire pump and massaging it into my scalp. Then I take another full pump and massage it on the back of my head and then another pump for the ends. I use about 4 pumps since its a good amount, I can't imagine using more than that since its a heavy cream consistency. Once I have it all massaged in, I spritz a bit of water and create a lather, the lather isn't the same as a regular shampoo. I leave it on for the remainder of the shower and then I wash it off. Thats it!
Once you have towel dried your hair I recommend applying the smallest amount on your ends.
My hair feels amazingly soft and manageable, not dried out or frizzy at all. I wouldn't use a lot of the product since my hair is prone to getting oily easily. My biggest issue is frizzy hair and this really does a good job in taking care of the problem.
This is one of those products that I will be sure to repurchase!
