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

[MD_Lady]

A trip to Sally's is in my future

You and me both!!!

 

[Enchantmt]

I have only used this once, but so far I think I like wen better. One goes on with sort of a waxy feel to it, and I had even shampooed before using it for the first time. I liked the tingle, but I will have to use it a few more times before making a final decision.

Every Sally's I've been to has NO CLUE about this product! Which stores are you ladies in the MD/DC area finding Hair One?

I found it at the one on Rt 301 next to that Walmart..you may just have to look for yourself cause the people working there are acting so clueless right about now but the product is there sitting right on the shelf.

I'm with you, Enchantmt. I tried it today and I dunno....I didn't get a "WOW" with it. I shampoo'd my hair really well before using it. I massaged it in my hair as per directions. I let it sit on my hair for about 1 hour. I rinsed and it felt somewhat waxy to me and did not detangle like I thought it would. I felt the need to put in some AO GPB afterwards and I did and my hair felt better.

I'm going to give it another chance to see what happens.

This is so true. I went the Sally's in my neighbor and got the blank stare. I left and went to another Sally's clear across town and it was in that store.

Awww, really? I'll take it off your hands if you don't like it honey.

I'm going to give it another try. If it still doesn't feel the way I like it, I will most certainly pass it on to you!

My mother had given me her Wen. She said it was ok but not good enough to repurchase so I was excited to get some free Wen and the hydrating mask stuff.

I didn't try the Wen first but tried the Hair one Olive oil. Now it didn't wow me and my hair felt a little tangled but I think the reason was because I just used Elucence Extended Moisture repair treatment (I love that stuff) before Hair one. Felt good going on but I noted tangles during rinse out. It felt kinda stripped and wierd which is why I think it was because of the protein used prior. I corrected it with some Suave humectant and it felt a little better. I airdried my hair overnight and today its soft. I will give it another try before moving on to Wen.

I also tried it on my daughters hair and it was just ok. Didn't really wow me.

OK I tried the Olive Oil Hair One this past Sunday. HATTED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It left my hair a tangled mess! Even my beloved WEN was not able to make my hair soft again. (I used some WEN after rinsing out the HO) Mind you I am one week post my touch up.

The only thing that saved me to do my rollerset was the Wen Fig Styling Creme. After I would put that on each section before rollersetting it, I was able to comb through my hair. That stuff is really good. Also my rollerset came out really soft too!

 

[poookie]

i gave the olive oil a 2nd try. didn't pre-poo this time around before using. followed the directions exactly as on the bottle. it made my hair feel even MORE amazing the first time around (the first time, i was 3 days post relaxer; now i'm 2.5 weeks post). my hair was soft, super moisturized, and extremely easy to detangle. even after rinsing it all out, it felt as if i'd put some sort of detangling serum in it! i did a twist-out, and it came out lovely.

i should mention that i left the stuff on my head in the shower for about 10 minutes. my scalp rinsed clean, no build-up or residue left afterwards.

BUT i had a horribly painful headache after using this. this is due to my allergy to peppermint / menthol. leave this stuff on too long, and it can seep into your head, and cause severe headaches (if you're sensitive to menthol and peppermint like i am). the pain lasted for about 4 - 5 hours.

my hair felt GREAT though!! i think that next time, i'll avoid leaving it on my scalp, and just concentrate on the length of my hair.

Okay, I purchased the Olive Hair One last night. I didn't plan to use it that night, so I massaged a mixture of jojoba with a dash of tea tree on my scalp. An hour later I decided to wash and grabbed the Hair One. First instead of clarifying I washed with garlic shampoo, because I've been having some shedding issues. Then, I rinsed well and applied the Hair One to my scalp and hair. I had a great cool tingling feeling, but I am sure it was the residual from the teatree oil. I massaged it into the hair sections and then used a shower comb to detangle. I let the product sit for a few minutes and then rinsed. As an effort to test this product on its own, I applied the Hair One as my only leave in. Combed through, focused a little extra on the ends of course. I then wet bunned with my good hairdays pins.

This morning when I took my hair down I was very pleased. My hair did not feel at all weighed down and one of the first people I saw at the office this morning said, "Wow, your hair looks great!" Another person said the same thing later. I think I am really going to like this product. My curls are way bouncy. I'm glad I took the plunge and I think this will be a keeper for me.

I attached- a pic, and yes, I know I need to apply oil to my ends to seal so they won't look so dry. I just wanted to see what the results of the Hair One solo would be.

^^Your hair looks yummy, Glam!! I'm glad you liked the HO.

I, on the other hand, have decided to use this stuff to shave my legs ....

Wow glam, your hair is gorgeous. Thanks for posting your helpful review of the Hair One.

 

[RabiaElaine]

I bought the Olive Oil Hair One yesterday after work. The lady working at the Sallys I went to knew exactly what I was talking about. She said she hadn't tried it yet, but plans to.

I'm going to try Hair One today. I'll clarify with my Cream of Nature clarifying shampoo first. I'll use Hair One as my only leave in. I'm going to airdry my hair (not sure of the method yet) and then pincurl (my new favorite style).

I'll be give you guys a review when I'm done.

 

[RabiaElaine]

So I just got out of the shower...I still have Hair One Olive Oil version in my hair. Wow it tingles .

I clarified like I said I would. Then I started applying the Hair One to my scalp and roots and massaging it in. The I moved to saturating the length of my hair.

I decided to let it sit in my hair like I would a deep conditioner. I just put a plastic cap over it (no heat). I'll let it sit for 30 minutes and then rinse it out.

I'll be back with more later.

 

[Shaley]

I must co-sign with those who are or were not fond of the Olive Oil Hair One.

I posted a few threads earlier that I thought I liked it...but I think I may have to retract that statement.

I have used this a total of 3 times so far. The first 2 times I did not clarify but the third time I did clarify to see if I would get better results...

The first time I used it I was 10 weeks post relaxer - so I had at little new growth - I applied the conditioner as instructed on the bottle and rinsed. It was soft as I was rinsing, but afterwards my hair was not very soft and it was VERY tangled. I had to use my faithful Biolage leave in to actually get a comb through my hair.
My Hairveda Moist 24/7 or suave tropical coconut has never left my hair like this.

But I figured my experience was because I had alot of new growth so I waited after my relaxer to try it again...

Maybe it's just my hair or hair type but this stuff is not working for me so far. It does not leave my hair feeling or looking to good.
The Olive Oil is the only one I've tried, so I'm not sure what effect the others would have.

As far as co-washing goes, I think I'll stick with Hairveda Moist Condition 24/7 (AWESOME!!) or Suave if need be... (I'll be trying the WEN when it fits in my budget)

 

[candita]

OK ladies, my two cents...

I used the jojoba cleansing cream twice, once after clarifying and once after regular shampoo. I honestly didn't feel a difference between the two. My hair was soft after I rinsed out, but it lacked the <<WOW>> factor I got from my Fig WEN. The day after using my WEN, my hair was still nice and soft. The day after the Hair One, my hair felt a little dry (as though I'd used just any ol', generic conditioner). I really felt the difference after getting out of the shower and combing with my Jilbere. With the WEN, combing was a breeze and I barely had to detangle (I'm about 3 weeks post, but I self relaxed last time and didn't do a terrific job, so it feels more like 5 weeks post), but with the Hair One my hair was matted at the crown. Lastly, I felt like I had to pump a lot more with the Hair One than I did with the WEN. The WEN was easier to spread throughout my hair. With The Jojoba, it felt like it went on thinner, so I easily pumped the bottle twice as much.

Overall, I got more hair loss with the Hair One so I don't think I'll repurchase the Hair One. It's tough on my budget but the WEN is better on my hair.

I do think that for a leave-in or daily moisturizer, the Hair One has worked pretty well. I'm going to use the remainder of the bottle for daily moisturizing my ends, but not for a cleansing con.

 

[RabiaElaine]

So my hair is finally dry after airdrying in rollers. I will say that so far I really like the Hair One so if everyone is saying that WEN is better I'm really going to have to try it. Right now Hair One alone has my hair nice and fluffy and thick without being frizzy. It's soft and it feel moisturized (I haven't put anything in my hair other than Hair One and water to set it).

I'll see how my hair feels tomorrow to see if it still feels this way. Anyway so far I like Hair One and now I'm even more anxious to try WEN.

Oh my goodness....maybe that's why I had two headaches...I couldn't figure out why my head hurt so and now I see...it was after using Hair One!!! Although it really made my hair nice after using it (see siggy pics) I am not going to use this anymore...I can't be bothered with headaches

Your hair is soooooooooo beautiful, glam. I can't wait until my hair gets to your length and thickness

I'm on it. I would love to try WEN but do not appreciate being forced to give up financials and be placed in a situation where a company is going to send me product when they feel like it (a la monthly)

Wen can also be purchased from QVC, Amazon.com and directly from Chaz Dean's site without subscribing to the autoship plan. Here is the link to a Wen thread that is chock full of information about Wen and links to the various websites that you can purchase.

I purchased the hair one olive oil formula on Saturday because I didnt have the patience to wait for my Wen that i ordered from QVC, I ordered the 3 6 oz bottles for $33.00 (it came in the mail today) but the hair one was amazing!! the olive oil formula is great for dry hair and for naturals. It smells nice too, I loved how it made my scalp tingle and how creamy it was. My hair came out great, I washed with it then rinsed and applied more and used it as a deep conditioner, my scalp felt very clean and my hair soft. I will use the wen this weekend to see how it compares, but I have a feeling I will be purchasing more Hair One, you get more for the money and with a sally's card its only 9.99. try it you wont be sorry. My natural hair loved the olive oil, I got the last bottle on the shelf...others must be using it as well.

I bought this at Sally's yesterday -- the jojoba one and used it after coloring last night. I used about 20 pumps on wet hair. Twenty pumps was not that much, so I still have 99% of the bottle left over. I massaged it all through my hair and did what the directions said and wet my hands and rubbed them together to really coat my hair with the condish. I left it in about 15 minutes and rinsed and used about four pumps as a leave-in and sealed with my shea butter mixture. All of my usual products are in Atlanta and I only have with me stuff that I put in three ounce bottles several months ago that dried my hair out horribly Tuesday night. My hair is wonderfully texturized, soft, moistured today. However, the thing that is really knocking me out is the incredible shine, which is ridiculous. I will have to leave it here in Chicago because if I try to take it with me, they will probably confiscate it (they confiscated my Nature's Blessing a couple years ago and I was not happy, let me tell you...) and my mom said that she will take very good care of it with a cheshire cat grin on her face. I liked it enough to go pay $10.99 for another bottle tomorrow when I get back to Atlanta.

Thanks for the review adw, I just washed my hair with the Olive Oil Hair One and left some in as a leave in as well and my hair really love this conditioner. It really softens, detangles and add shine to my hair just like it does yours. I will have to get a few bottles when I come to the US.
