    Default Wen Substitute????

    HELL YEAH!! Sally's has a brand called Hair One that is a dupe for Wen and it's waaaaaay cheaper but just as good. I just tried it for the first time and it's fantastic! It's just one product instead of shampoo and conditioner and it doesn't have drying sulfates in it to jack up your hair color. I just used it once after working and having cigarette funk and sweat and makeup on my hair. Usually I would have to wash three times to get it all out and I have hard water issues so the more I wash the more the minerals in the water coat my hair. With this stuff there was no weird residue and my hair blew out straight with no leave in conditioner or serum for frizz. HELL YEAH!!! Oh and it smells good too! I got it for 10-11 bucks and it works in like3-4 minutes.

    I love sally's duplicates. I wondered about their shampoo/cond fakes. I always buy their copy of some fancy company's tea tree oil bar soap which smells soooo delicious.

    I just wish they had been more aggressive in marketing it. I would have been buying it since last year or whenever they released it. I found out about it when I was looking for Wen reviews. I couldn't bear to pay all that money if it didn't work. Ten bucks is a reasonable gamble. I really like it.

    I found it too but was also worried about trying it. Good to know it works the same. I'll have to get some.

    Yeah, thanks, I've seen it but never tried. I like that it comes in a sample size packet.
    Also, they have a duplicate Kinerase line, I asked one of the clerks, she said she tried an employee sample & liked. The deep conditioner has about a 4 out of 5 star rating on their website

    I manage a Sally's...and the Hair One products are truly the best we carry (aside from the best selling, which is the GVP Paul Mitchell Tea Tree shampoo/conditioner). I used to work at Ulta, so I'm pretty much a brand snob when it comes to hair products, but the Hair One is honestly just as good, if not better, than my top of the line stuff. This was the first time that I actually bought a full size from the samples we get for free. The one for curly hair with argan oil in it makes my hair feel sooo nice. But I will warn you guys, it's a good idea to switch it up a little from using it so often, because it can tend to build up in your hair after awhile because the lack of sulfates. I have fine combination hair that tends to get a little heavy if I've used it multiple times in a row. You'll want to use a good clarifying shampoo once a week and you should be good.

    The new KeraPro line (generic of Keratase, not Kinerase lol) is meh...it's okay. I'll probably use up my samples till it's gone, but it wasn't anything to brag about.

    Some other stand out products are the One N Only Argan Oil we have, and the Miracle 7 leave-in conditioner. Total salon-quality.

    The Argan oil smells amazing. I got that because my former roommate who's a hairdresser swears it's what the Kardashians use. It's a Moroccan Oil knockoff.
