It does have alcohol and other oil stripping properties.I tried it and IT DOES WORK GREAT! My hair was actually a little greasy because I was sick for a couple day.I didn't think it would clean it but it did! I used my regular Suave conditioner and made sure to really massage it into scalp and all hair.I think I may stick to using just conditioner from now on,..maybe throw in a shampoo occasionally. BARBARA,..you could try this too.Also,I have a theory on the musty smell.Could it be your towels? Occasionally my towels get a musty smell even when clean.I end up needing to wash them a couple times to get it out every so often.Also, could be sinusitis if not that.Probably not from your hair itself.Hope this helps! :o) Hi Ladies, I’ve kept my hair long all my life.I’m 46, have brunette hair(no gray yet) & color to lighten the shade every few months.My hair started to dry out in recent years.Well,saw the WEN commerical & thought the same as others on this page.Wonder if regular conditioner would work?

I have been using Wen for about a half year now and am delighted. Even after several days when my hair is extremely dirty and oily (you can see it after hiking, camping etc)the conditioner cleans well and leaves my hair CLEAN, soft, full of body and very manageable. It appears thicker and holds a style better. Even my hairdresser asked what I was doing. My color (red tones) fades less than before from color to color. In addition my scalp no longer itches and I am not experiencing skin irritation and acne on my face since getting rid of my traditional shampoos/conditioners.
