@Golden75 How many old bottles of DH do you have? I can take some off of your hands, release some burdens from you.

tiffers - . I only have one bottle. I haven't purchased any of the new formulations.

Sorry on the hi-jack to clarify our SD products, OP!

nzeee See I keep trying to deny the power of Wen but these reviews are intriguing *sigh* How long does a bottle last? I have to justify the cost lol..

Raspberry DO IT!!! i love the fig the best. i've tried the pumpkin cuz everyone lost their minds!!! when it came out but i'm not impressed with the smell as everyone else is. to me it smells like cornmeal porridge (which i love -- i'm jamaican if that helps). all nutmeggy and ish it's really really thick tho (slightly thicker than the fig) and does a good job. Fig smells sorta ...objectionable tho initially you just have to get used to it.

don't hold out. i held out for 6mths myself just obsessing over the price and it's useless really. if you've had trouble finding a good leave-in, a good cowash, and a good detangler then just try WEN one time and you'll be a convert too.

how about this: imagine everything else you're spending your $$ on that doesn't work. you use it 2-3 times only to move on to something else. that's A LOT of cash if you wash often. experimenting, if that's what you're doing, is expensive. it's peace of mind when you mind something that works. it's ALLLLL i use in my hair and it's seriously a relief.

re: how long it lasts?? not sure yet. i'm heavy handed (WEN loves this and totally encourages it. i sorta hate that part of the marketing but oh well) and i've been trying fig and pumpkin at the same time at different intervals so i can't totally say yet...

nzeee So you use Wen as a leave-in too? My routine is working right now but I do use a lot of products to get a good end result. I could probably simplify but I over-think and use this for strength, that as a humectant, this as a sealent, etc.

I'll try Wen after my current set of shampoo/condish is used up.

Raspberry: leave-in too. i use WEN for errythang!! but that's cuz i'm lazy and soooo tired of trying different things. if what you're using works stick w/ it and use WEN as a cleanser only. no biggie, it will def last longer that way.

OT (sorta): I noticed many of you use Giovanni products. Tom Thumb (and probably the rest of the Safeway family) has the line BOGO Free (aka 2 for $7-8). And some bottles have $1 off coupons. Sale is good through Nov 6th. YMMV.
