They claim to use a special oil that only they have rights to from a tribe in Central America called Tawira - "The People of Beautiful Hair." I know we are to stay away from ALS and SLS but what about Magnesium Laureth Sulfate? Would like to know your thoughts on Ojon hair products.

I just was naive as to the ingredients in these shampoos. I went back to basics and used my home products which are chemical free and natural.

I used to have a real problem with dry hair & my bright red haircolour fading terribly after just a few washings, courtesy of the dreaded SLS in shampoo. I tried all sorts of brands of "colour maintaining" shampoos, with pretty much the same result. However, the WEN, together with using only lukewarm water to wash my hair, has been simply amazing! My red hair stays nice & vibrant, and silky soft. I did have to get used to the different method for WEN, since it requires more work and time than your standard shampoo that you essentially dump on your head, move around a bit, then quickly rinse out. With WEN, you need to brush your hair before you wet it, then run water through it & scrub to loosen the dirt from your hair & scalp. Add the required pumps of WEN (more than you'd use for shampoo), work it through your hair for a couple of minutes, then pile your hair on top of your head & finish your shower or bath. After about 10 minutes or so, add water, & thoroughly rinse for at least 2 minutes. If necessary, you can add another pump of WEN as a leave-in conditioner, but I've never had to. There are different formulas, depending on your hair & scalp condition, though Sweet Almond Mint is the generic one. Some formulas contain menthol or tea tree oil, so if you're especially sensitive to these ingredients, you may want to avoid them. I buy my WEN from QVC. Their website sells all formulas, in various sizes & combinations, and I feel safer ordering from them than from the company that does the infomercials. The ingredients in the generic Sweet Almond Mint cleansing conditioner are: Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Cetyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Prunus Serotina (Wild Cherry) Bark Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Hydrolyzed Wheat, Protein, Panthenol, Butylene Glycol, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine, Polysorbate 60, PEG-60 Almond Glycerides, Amodimethicone, Citric Acid, Menthol, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Fragrance (Parfum, Limonene) I’ve been using WEN Cucumber Aloe for about a year now.

You need your hair stripped of the stuff that gets acught up in it, no matter what. Oils are better than the chemicals... I use giovanni since it's residue free. The oils are actually good.
