@Sroerish, I agree - it is expensive, especially if you are attempting to use it as a system for any regular period of time. I like the Pantene Relaxed and Natural Co-Wash Cleansing Conditioner. I also like the L'Oreal Evercreme Cleansing Conditioner. You will not get the tingle of WEN but your hair will be clean. Thanks for stopping by. ^_^
