Review of WEN Tea Tree Cleansing Conditioner - 32oz

Like a lot of other reviewers of Wen products, I've been moaning and complaining about the cost of this product line.Well, let me tell you how I finally learned my lesson:

I'd been using this haircare line for about 6 months.I had started with the combo offered in the infomercial & moved onto the Tea Tree about 4 months ago, after reading reviews that it is the best "flavor" for my hair type (very dry hair with oily/itchy scalp that tends towards dandruff).I've loved Wen since about week 2 with the product due to the following: (a) my scalp issues were resolved, (b) my hair seemed healthier after about a week, (c) I had stretched my last cut & color out to 10 weeks since the color still seemed shiney (I have jet black hair & my color is added only to warm up the tones from a blue-black to a brown/red-black - there isn't that much of a difference between my natural hair color and my color-treated color)& my ends looked fine.However, a few weeks ago, as I neared the bottom of my latest bottle of Wen Tea Tree, I started questioning how incredibly expensive it was after I realized how quickly the bottle had been used...so I didn't order a new bottle before I ran out.

I decided to go back to my old Aveda Color Conserve line in order to save some money.Within 2 days, (a) my itchy scalp was back AND (b) the shine was gone in my hair color, leaving it dull and lifeless looking AND (c) you could see exactly where the new hair growth ended and the color-treated hair began!It was disgusting!I immediately ordered a new bottle of Wen Tea Tree & scheduled a hair appt.I just hope that the Wen gets here by the time my appt comes around...

I guess the bottom line is that you have to consider not only the fact that you get both cleanser & conditioner in one product AND that your hair will look better, but also that you will be able to stretch out the time between cut/color appts.I used to have to go every 6 weeks or so, but could stretch it to about 10 with Wen.Each appt is about $200 for me, so that's how I'm justifying continuing with this product.
