In this age of airline fees for checked bags and that annoying Ziplock bag requirement for carry-on lotions and potions; beauty products really have to earn their passage. There is absolutely no room for products that take up precious space and deliver lackluster results.
Today The Black Dress Traveler is shining my spotlight on the WEN by Chaz Dean Healthy Hair Care System. Does this cleansing conditioner really deliver gorgeous hair AND eliminate the need to travel with both shampoo and conditioner? I enlisted the help of my friend Deanna from New Jersey in reviewing this popular hair care line that you may have seen on QVC and in infomercials. Deanna has lovely hair and I knew that WEN would have to be something really special for her to give it a thumbs up.
What is WEN?
WEN is the first hair product line to exclude traditional shampoo. The brainchild of Hollywood hair stylist Chaz Dean, WEN is described as "a revolutionary new concept in cleansing your hair that has Hollywood buzzing! It’s special because it cleanses hair thoroughly but without lathering and all the harsh ingredients that may be found in ordinary shampoos — it is designed so it
won’t strip your hair and scalp of their natural oils. Your hair is left with sheen, moisture, manageability and better color retention." WEN is suitable for all hair types from coarse to fine. In case you're wondering about the name, WEN is NEW spelled backwards and reflects the fact that it is a completely reverse approach to washing the hair.
Does WEN deliver?
WEN was recently awarded the Shecky's Beauty at Its Best Award as "Best Shampoo and Conditioner" and actress Jenny Garth is a fan and celebrity spokeswoman, but what did my friend Deanna think?
"From the first day I started using the product my hair felt wonderful. I saw my hair more shiny and healthier from day one. You have full body and management of your hair without the necessity of drying products. I would recommend in a heartbeat. I loved WEN. I really think it is one of the few products that I have tried that lives up to its name."
Wow, sounds like Deanna really liked WEN. In fact, she told me that she has gone on to purchase the product and recommended it to several people. Next time, I'll keep it for myself! With a review like that, WEN has earned a spot in my luggage!
