Q & A with Chaz Dean of WEN hair products

Chaz Dean of WEN hair products answers our
writers’ questions:

1) What specific hair damage do
you continually see from the use of regular shampoos?
Color being stripped, dry,
frizzy, unmanageable, lifeless hair, hair and scalp damage and loss due to the
harsh chemicals and stripping agents found in shampoos.

2) What is your number one summer
hair tip or "bad hair day" tip?
Summer Hair tip: Always
apply conditioner to your hair prior to swimming to protect your hair from the
chlorine or sea water.
Bad Hair Day: If having a
bad hair day, tease the crown for lift and place hair in a high ponytail. This look always has style and grace. 

3) What is
one thing that every woman can do today to improve her own hair?
Sleep with a moisturizing
conditioning treatment in her hair to rehydrate the hair. 

4) Since the products are all natural, does that mean they are safe to use
on children?
Yes. WEN products do not contain detergents,
surfactants, or sodium laurel sulfates, therefore they are mild and gentle for
all ages. The tea tree product is the only product not recommended for pets.

5) How did
you decide to use the products that you did to create your line?
By creating a perfect balance
of herbs and natural ingredients to gently cleanse with astringents,
antibacterial and antioxidant properties as well as moisturizing properties to
add sheen, lustre and moisture to the hair. 

6) What is
the most common complaint people have about their hair that they share with you?
Most common complaint (prior to
using WEN) was that their hair was dull, lifeless and frizzy. After using WEN, the most common response is
that their hair is restored to what it was like when they were a child.
