I will never use anything but Wen products on my hair. After I saw the difference that it made by NOT using traditional shampoo; I will never return to any brand of "shampoo". Hair only needs to be conditioned and the scalp rinsed in order to maintain a healthy scalp, and beautiful hair. Normal shampoos only weigh hair down with the "soap-like residue" that is left on the hair. Our scalps need the natural balance of oil production, and the hair that is growing needs only moisturizing to stay and look healthy. Unless you're a smoker, or work around food; you should only wash your hair weekly for it to be at its healthiest. This is why the Wen products are so perfect for maintaining beautiful and healthy hair and scalp. Throw anything else away; or use for bath soap, or washing your dishes. It's practically the same formulation of products if you are NOT using WEN.
