Wen: the trial run

You've probably heard of Wen. The spendy hair cleanser that doesn't lather and is supposed to be amazing for your hair.

My friend Tracey recently gave me her bottle after she tried it just once and didn't care for how it left her hair, and so I thought I'd give it a whirl.

My first time reading the instructions I laughed out loud. 24-32 pumps per wash for long hair? What??!!

I actually googled it to see if anyone else thought that was as ridiculous as I did. But after my first time using it I saw how you'd need an awful lot, since it truly does not lather a single bit and you really have to work it in.

So... my trial run began, and while I didn't care for how greasy my hair felt at the end of the day, I did like the smell and the tingly feeling it left, and thought I'd give it a full two weeks for my hair to get used to it, like many people online suggested.

And the final verdict?

We shall never know. The bottle lasted EIGHT WASHES.

EIGHT.

I think I've been punked.
