What owners say

What people report

Recurring themes our researchers wrote in their own words from sourced reviews. We do not store or scrape star ratings, and we never balance one product’s themes against another’s by inventing them.

WEN by Chaz Dean Fig Cleansing Conditioner draws complaints about dryness and frizz; WEN by Chaz Dean WEN Kids Apple Cleansing Conditioner draws complaints about the scent and the price.

Fig Cleansing Conditioner

Very long-tenured buyers dominate the positive reviews - many describing ten to twenty years of continuous use - and several call Fig the richest and most moisturizing of the WEN cleansers

chazdean.com reviewers, mostly self-describing curly, relaxed or colour-treated hair

A separate group of critical reviewers reports the opposite outcome - straw-like, dry ends, frizz that did not improve, and in a few cases an itchy scalp or dandruff

1-star chazdean.com reviewers, several with dry or fine hair

The most repeated complaint is that hair feels coated rather than washed - oily or still dirty once it dries - and several critical reviewers object that getting it clean requires a second cleanse they were not told about

1-star chazdean.com reviewers surfaced by the Lowest Rating sort

The fig scent divides the corpus: regulars name it as a reason they buy this variant, while several critical reviewers call it strong, lingering on long hair, and not fresh or clean-smelling

chazdean.com reviewers across both the highest and lowest ratings

WEN Kids Apple Cleansing Conditioner

Adults deliberately buy the children's variant for what it leaves out - menthol-free, gluten-free, no wheat or soy - including a household managing coeliac disease and a reviewer with fine, thinning, colour-treated hair

adult chazdean.com reviewers naming the exclusions as their reason

Parents report it keeps children's hair detangled and soft, and the light apple scent is described as appealing without being sweet or strong

chazdean.com reviewers buying for children and grandchildren

The consistent reservation is that it conditions less than the adult WEN formulas, with ends left drier

4-star chazdean.com reviewers comparing directly against the adult line

Price and fulfilment are the other repeated gripes - reviewers call it overpriced, find the gallon size sells out before they can buy it on sale, and several report long waits or the wrong scent shipped

3-star chazdean.com reviewers, one sent Strawberry Banana instead of Apple

$0.37/oz median $2.00/oz $8.63/oz $2.00/oz Fig Cleansing Conditioner $2.00/oz WEN Kids Apple Cleansing C

How this page was made

  • This page is assembled from the same researched records the individual product pages render: identity, each ingredient list as printed, each brand's own claims, dated price observations, and review themes written in our researchers' own words. Nothing on it is written per comparison.
  • We do not rank these against each other. Which of them suits you depends on your hair, and that is what the consultation works out.
  • The formula similarity percentage is a stored, precomputed number: position-weighted overlap of the two ingredient lists blended with agreement on the attributes we derive. It measures how alike two formulas are, not how well either works.
  • The value band is a fixed label over two stored numbers: this product’s cost per ounce as a percentile of every product of this type we have priced, each at the size it is most often sold in, and how many products we score as doing the same job cost at least a quarter less per ounce.
  • The "Is this right for you?" panel reads only your own consultation answers, and it applies exactly the filters our recommendation engine applies. It is computed when you load the page and is never stored on it.
  • 6 sources were consulted across the products on this page.
  • Ingredient order tells you relative amount only above roughly 1%. Prices are observations on the dates shown and change without notice. We do not sell these products and take no placement fees.
  • This is cosmetic information, not medical advice, and nothing here diagnoses or treats a health condition.
