Hair One- Cleansing Cream (Sally's Version of Wen)

My issue with Hair One is when you first use it your like wow this is different. This is nice but then after a while your like WTH? Is this even cleaning my hair anymore. Its like it causes alot of buildup and then your hair simply begins to protest any further use of the product. It might be better for someone with fine hair. My hair is coarse and the last thing I needs is buildup so its heavier. Plus I think coarsier needs not only more moisture in a conditioner but you got to cleanse it properly.


I think its the cones...I use this product...no problem...But I was only doing the SAMPLES....So I've done it a total of 3 times with 2-3 month space in between. I still think its a good cleanser, but I can see your beef with it because it has cones....I have fine hair, but A LOT of it...very dense---it even LOOKS course but its not....I don't have to use much of it either to get a good result.


BTW...someone mentioned clarifying before using it....If you have a lot of buildup in your hair....an ACV rinse then using the Hair One may be the way to go.....I have done this with good results...Another good cleanser is using CON Shampoo (has sulfates...I know)... but the CON is very moisturizing too....so it will cleanse/remove buildup without stripping natural moisture...But in this case, the Hair One acts as a conditioner.....Its marketed as a CLEANSER so I tried my hand at using it as such on the 3rd try, and it worked fine....My regular leave-ins have cones, but I don't use A LOT of product, so I never get that huge build-up problem many have....Once I go to a cone-free regimen with my leave-ins, DC's, and regular conditioners, then I think I won't need shampoos or the Hair One cleansers since build-up won't be a big problem anymore.
Hope this helps someone....I still think its worth a try...


PS.....(First timers) Buy the SAMPLE first.....! I caught the samples on sale at Sally's for 1.00 (usually 1.99). I have never bought the bottle....
 
Off Topic - sorry CCBoomBoom but i just know when a British girl makes a post because they say, 'Black hair shops' unlike our US friends who say, 'BSS'. I just had a little smile when i read your post.

On Topic - I have this and haven't yet used it on myself but have used it on my daughter's hair and i will def repurchase. I use alot of product on my hair in a bid to combat dryness so i don't think it will remove all the build up.

If i did try it i would have to clarify first and then use it. Is everyone still deep conditioning after the co-wash?

Aww, that's nice :). Thanks for the reply as well :yep:. The annoying thing is, where I live in Bromley, there are no black hair shops at all, you can only find a few afro brands in Boots, Superdrug and Sally's, but that's it. Must be due to there hardly being a black population in my town, compared to other London areas. I needed some extra stuff so I had to travel all the way to Catford to get what I needed within a more decent range, where I found 3 black hair shops within very close proximity to each other. Which ain't bad though, it was lovely weather today :D
 
The one w/Olive Oil:

water, cetyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol, amodimethicone, glycerine, aloe leaf juice, butylene glycol and anthemis nobilis flower extract, cofea arabica extract and vaccinium myrtillus fruit extract, roas roxburghii fruit extract, propylene glycol and rosemary leaf extract, olive fruit oil, avocado oil, sweet almond oil, hydrolyzed wheat protein, menthol, panthenol, behentrimonium methosulfate, BHT, Polysorbate 60, PEG 60 almond dimethylamine, guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, citric acid, disodium EDTA, 1, 2-hexanediol and caprylyl glycol, phenoxyethanol, sorbic acid, fragrance


I WISH that I could use the WEN knockoff, but with that amodimethicone right up there on the list, my hair HATED it! I am a little jealous of all ya'll that can enjoy that Wen like experience! :)
 
OK, so I used Hair One Olive Oil for the first time last night, and it seemed to work pretty nicely :D. And that smell :drool:, divine. I think I'm gonna like this product :yep:
 
those who overnight DC do you still use your hair one?? or do you use a shampoo??? and then do you just put in a rinse out conditioner after??
 
Thanks for the bump.

Has anybody tried the Hair One Argan Oil?

eta: I luuuuvvs my Wen, and I have actual argan oil, I'm just curious about this product.

I liked Hair One Argan Oil it alot. It felt really good on my hair and worked well. Great cleansing and conditioning. Just what I expect from Hair one.

They have Sample Packets to be sure :)
 
I am still voting for Hair One Olive Oil as my favorite I LOVE THIS ONE, Tea tree is okay I just hate the smell :nono:, I like the Argan Oil version of Hair one.

I did get the WEN recently and will compare the two. I will be back with my review :)
 
I went to Sally last night to pick up some Hair One Olive Oil and I bought 2 pckgs of Hair One Argan Oil. I did not know they had this one.
I Washed my hair this morning and so far, so good. I used some Lanza detangler and my TT and there were not tangles at all. I did not care for the smell though, I don't think it smells like the oil.
 
OMG, I remember when this thread was first posted. I ran out on my lunch break to get some. :lol:

I thought it was an ok product. I didn't end up repurchasing. But, I know a lot of people love it.

Hmmm... I may consider trying it again since I'm natural now.
 
I used it for the first time this past week...I got the one for dry hair. I think it worked ok; my hair turned out super soft but I don't know if it was the Hair One or the DC..Overall I liked it enough to make it a regular part of my stash...I really hate that "stripped" feeling I get from regular shampoos....oh and it really did smell good. :grin:
 
Used Hair One Jojoba last night. Co-washed while in the shower. Followed the directions but didn't need to pump as much. Pinned my hair up and let it sit while I washed up. Combed while rinsing it out and my hair felt soooooo lush and silky. I decided to do a wet bun since it was late so I added a little bit more condish to my entire head, added my rice bran, hemp and coconut oil concoction and threw my scarf on. Hair was damp this morning but it was very moisturized and smelled yummy.
Love this product!!!!! Will keep in my rotation.
 
I love it. I don't follow the directions though. I apply it to dry hair, not wet hair like the directions says.

I use the argan oil one and the jojoba oil one. I love both!
 
Wen user here and I ran out. I've been using Joico's kpak poo and I just didn't like the way my hair felt. I wanted my trusty WEN back, but didn't feel like waiting for it in the mail. So I decided to try the Hair One Olive Oil. VERDICT: I hate to say it, I really do, but my hair was so soft and shiny after using....my hair responded to Hair One better than WEN! I'm sitting here shocked!! Tomorrow, I'm going back to Sally's to get two more bottles. I still have to try the WEN pomegranite--but no shipping, cheaper, AND more moisturizing for my hair than WEN...Hair One is a keeper.
 
Okay I used the Wen and the Hair One Olive Oil, Tea Tree, Jojoba and Argan version.

You all know I heart Hair One Olive Oil. I now have an equal Heart Wen Sweet Almond. I love it. It softens my hair unbelievably but I love it so much. I am going to use both of them. I have continued my membership every 6 months with a 3 month shipment which will most likely last me all year. LOL
I will purchase 4 Hair Ones and that definitely will pull me through.

I have no bad quams with either.
 
I've almost used up a full bottle of Hair One and think it is okay but I'm not in love just yet. I purchased WEN on a promotion deal and have yet to use it. My beef with Hair One is that is contains -cones and I felt that it worked great on my hair the first few times but then it didn't do great that point forward. Also, I found the creamy conditioner hard to rinse from my hair. My hair does so-so with -cones.
 
This did nothing for my hair. I bought the tee tree version and it stinks. I think I'll try it on dry hair and see how that works. Thanks for the tip Kibbles
 
I have two bottles just sitting in the cabinet. I like how it made my hair feel (the jojoba and the olive oil) but the cones aren't gonna happen I personally get better results from Vo5 or GTTT conditioners anyway and much more affordable.
