Review (4/5): I can comb through my long hair now
First off, since a lot of reviewers are mentioning this as a hair product for AA hair, I want to share that I am white with long, fine hair. My hair is wavy to straight, def not curly. However, over the course of the past year it has become harder and harder to comb through. I went from washing my hair every other day to washing as little as possible. It just was not worth the effort of combing out all those tangles. I asked my hairdresser if coloring my hair had stripped it, or if my hair was damaged from a 6 week swim class I had with my daughter at the local overly-chlorinated YMCA pool. My hairdresser assured me in repeated visits that clarifying shampoo and other expensive products I was using were doing their jobs just fine. HOWEVER, this did not solve the problem of my NOT being able to comb through my long hair anymore. I've had long hair in the past, off and on. This has been the only year when it's been uncombable with tons of leave-in conditioner or other product. Maybe it's not a crisis, but it's annoying and frankly, with four kids, I have better things to do than work knots out of my hair every time I get cleaned up.
THIS CO-WASH changed all that. I wanted to try Wen but the price tag about choked me! When I saw this co-wash at the corner drug store I figured it was worth a try. I'm glad I did. I use this every other day with no other conditioner and I can now comb through my hair in seconds, just like I used to! (I'm still not convinced that color and chlorine didn't damage my hair somewhat.)
The only downside to this co-wash is that it leaves my roots greasy on day 2. I rinse my hair on day 2 and do a conditioner on the ends...or if life is hectic I'll do dry shampoo on the roots and run with it. My hair feels better and looks pretty down.
