Splurge vs Steal: L’Oreal EverPure Sulfate-Free Color Care System Shampoo vs. WEN Cleansing Conditioner!

L’Oreal’s EverPure Sulfate-Free Moisture System Shampoo is the closest thing I’ve come to WEN Cleansing Conditioner EVER and it’s only $7.49! WEN Cleansing Conditioner from Chaz Dean has been good for my hair, no doubt. It really does make my hair soft and as silky as satin sheets. It’s a great product and I love it, but at $29 a bottle, it can get expensive. Add to that price the fact that you use 12-40 pumps (depending on your hair length) of product, you can quickly say buh-bye to a LOT of dead presidents!

L’Oreal’s EverPure Sulfate-Free Moisture System Shampoo is an excellent alternative to WEN at a quarter of the price! First let me tell you a little bit about my hair. It’s very fine and has virtually no body. It’s color treated, it doesn’t like to hold a curl and can get dry on the ends. Yeah, it’s a problem. More than one stylist has told me I have a lot of hair it just has a very fine texture. I don’t believe any of them. WEN tamed my flyways, brought my color to life, made the texture like feel silky soft, and conditioned the ends. The only downside was that since my hair is so fine, I had to add styling product back in to give me volume.

It’s no surprise that so many brands are trying to copy WEN’s iconic formula. I tried Hair ONE ($9.99 for 12 oz.) by Sally Beauty and it left me very disappointed. It looks like WEN, however it does NOT have the same benefits. I have very fine hair and after shampooing with Hair ONE, my hair was a HUGE tangled mess–I couldn’t get a comb through. The performance in general was a big let down. And then along came Salon Grafix Cleaning Conditioner: better but not quite there yet. Okay, one more try: L’Oreal’s EverPure Sulfate-Free Color Care System Shampoo–Bingo!

This sulfate-free shampoo has a luxurious feel and you need only a dime size amount of product. Even though it is sulfate-free, it has a creamy lather that leaves my hair and scalp very clean. I’m using the volume formula which has a rosemary and juniper scent which is so refreshing! I do not use the conditioner–with my fine hair I don’t need too and L’Oreal EverPure Shampoo gives my hair plenty of moisture. My hair feels significantly softer and more manageable. My color is so bright is looks as if I’ve just visited the salon! My hair is left nourshied, the color bright and more importantly, NOT weighted down. My only complaint is that I did not notice any additional volume to my hair. There are also Smooth and Moisture formulas in the EverPure line.

Let’s compare shall we? Remember this is my opinion and your experience may vary depending on your hair.
