I'm starting to read up on cleansing conditioners like WEN and Hair One. As far as I can tell, the idea is to to mostly condition and to cleanse just enough to keep you from getting greasy...but not stripping away too much natural oil.  Check out this post from Katie at Blush & Lace.

She even makes her own cleansing conditioner with mostly conditioner and just a touch of shampoo!

Loving all of the personal experiments with these products.
Here's a stylists review of WEN after trying it herself.

I decided to try the make your own cleansing conditioner idea.  I used a dime sized amount of shampoo and a silver dollar sized amount of conditioner, mixed them together in my hand.

I wet my hair and massaged it in...there was no lather.  Then I let it sit on my hair for the rest of my shower and then rinsed it out.  Here is the result:

I'm pretty happy with it....though I'm noticing since I haven't been skipping a day washing, I'm getting more flyaways.  I need to go back to washing every other day...and mix it up a little, between, baking soda, cleansing conditioner, and diluted shampoo.

Addict

I have been craving shampoo.  I wake up thinking about shampooing my hair. I'm fantasizing about having my hair washed by someone else at a salon. When I go into Walmart or Target, I go down the shampoo aisle and smell all of the different shampoo 'flavors.'  I'm not gonna lie, I miss shampoo.

So today, I woke up feeling an oily, itchy mess, I felt like a greaseball. My hair was so dirty on 'no wash' day that I had no choice but to slick it back in a ponytail when I went to work.  And so, my friend shampoo and I had a visit.  I only had a couple tablespoons of baking soda wash in the no-poo bottle, so I squeezed a half teaspoon of amazing smelling shampoo into the no-poo bottle, and filled the bottle with hot water and shook it up.

I figured, if I use very little and dilute it, hopefully it won't have such a harsh detergent effect. Just a little taste couldn't hurt, right? The result, clean, manageable, really ridiculously good smelling hair. I have to say I feel pretty for the first time in several weeks. Now, whether that feeling is directly related to shampoo, or some other contributing factor, I'm not sure.  But I'm thinking that both baking soda wash and shampoo-lite have a place in my life.  Balance.
