So, I’ve been on this whole hair journey thing lately, right? Trying to figure out what works for my mane. My hair’s got this wavy thing going on, and I heard somewhere it’s considered “2B.” It’s like, not quite curly, but definitely not straight. More like beach waves, but sometimes it just does whatever it wants.
I kept seeing stuff online about “Wen” shampoo and how it’s supposed to be amazing for your hair. I mean, the hype was real. People were talking about it like it was some kind of magic potion. Naturally, I got curious. I figured, why not give it a shot? So, I went ahead and bought a bottle. It wasn’t cheap, I gotta say.
First time I used it, I followed the instructions to the letter. You’re supposed to use a lot of it, like, way more than regular shampoo. It felt kinda weird, honestly. And it doesn’t lather up like normal shampoo, which took some getting used to. But I rinsed it out, and my hair felt…different. It was soft, yeah, but also kinda heavy. I figured it was just the adjustment period.
I kept using it for a few weeks. I really wanted to see if this “miracle” shampoo lived up to the hype. I noticed my waves were a little more defined, which was cool. But my hair also felt greasy faster than usual. It’s like it was getting weighed down by something. And my scalp, oh boy, my scalp started getting itchy. Not like crazy itchy, but enough to be annoying.
- Week 1: Hair feels soft but heavy.
- Week 2: Waves more defined, but hair feels greasy.
- Week 3: Scalp starting to itch. Hmm.
My Thoughts
Honestly, after using it for about a month, I decided to stop. It just wasn’t working for me. My hair didn’t feel clean, my scalp was itchy, and it was just too expensive to keep using something that wasn’t making a difference. Maybe it works for other people, I don’t know. But for my 2B wavy hair, it was a big nope. I’ve gone back to my old shampoo, and my hair feels so much better. It’s lighter, bouncier, and my scalp isn’t itchy anymore. So, there you have it. My Wen shampoo experiment was a fail. It’s definitely not a one-size-fits-all solution.
