7:03 am
upside down by a new device that they're claiming may change the way we treat back pain forever. so with us today is one of the most respected orthopedic pain specialists in the country, dr. marc darrow. dr. darrow is an expert on pain management. he's board certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation. he's an assistant professor at u.c.l.a.'s school of medicine and recently appeared in newsweek magazine. dr. darrow, welcome. good to see you. >> thank you, bella. >> you know, eight out of 10 people suffer from back pain at some time in their life. only headaches are more common. it sounds like an epidemic. what's causing all of this lower back pain? >> we're sitting at desks, we're sitting in our cars longer and we're standing for long periods of time. over 50 million people are hunched over their computers all day and there is so much more stress today. >> o.k., but, doctor, we're spending $50 billion a year and nothing seems to be working. >> well, what i want to show you is a breakthrough device that i believe is going to change the
7:04 am
way we treat back pain forever. this unique device is called the back 2 life. >> but why is this so different from all the other options we just listed that aren't working so well? >> bella, let me show you. >> o.k. >> the back 2 life is an incredible machine, and here we have lori sitting here. >> hi. >> we'd like to have you scooch your backside as close to the machine as you can and straddle it. that's right, and then put your knees over the kneepads. please push the button. >> bella: oh... that's interesting. so, what are we looking at? >> dr. darrow: well, the first thing you'll notice is that lori is not stretching, she's not exercising. the back 2 life machine is doing everything for her. >> i like that, because when i hurt my back, you know, i just didn't want to do all the exercises and stretches 'cause it hurt so much. >> dr. darrow: of course, but this isn't stretching. it's a back and forth, side to side, very gentle motion. it's what we call continuous passive motion. >> bella: o.k., continuous passive motion. now what exactly is that?
7:05 am
>> bella, it's the secret to why back 2 life gets such amazing results. but let me first explain what actually causes most back pain. >> o.k. >> now, if we pretend this is your spine, what do we have? we have beautiful vertebrae here, which are the bones that hold the spinal cord. we have discs in between that are like shock absorbers, and in a healthy spine, we have great mobility. we can flex very easily. we can extend very easily. we can rotate and we can go side to side without pain. but what happens when people have back pain? come over here, please. >> o.k. >> and look what happens when we have compression from muscle spasm, which is what occurs in daily life. >> o.k. >> we have a compression that takes place and what we really want is we want these discs to open up and the muscles to relax. so, bella, what we need to do is release the pressure to relieve the pain. >> so how do we do that? >> dr. darrow: once your back is tightened, the key to releasing that pressure is to introduce motion deep inside the muscle
7:06 am
and between the vertebrae. we've never been able to do that before. you can't do it through ice packs, you can't do it through heat, you can't do it through traction. but with the back 2 life machine, you can. >> that's a pretty bold statement. >> well, this is why it's different. the back 2 life machine creates a gentle movement in the muscles and in your vertebrae which relaxes them for you. it flexes your spine. it actually helps to put your back into alignment. this continuous passive motion creates space between your vertebrae and allows oxygen and blood to flow into the area. and while doing this, it also balances the curvature of the lower back. even if your pain is so bad it hurts to actually bend over, the back 2 life machine can still help relieve your pain. it's an amazing machine. >> i went shopping at the market the other day for an hour, no pain, whereas prior to the back 2 life... two minutes, i'm
7:07 am
holding onto the shopping cart. it's... just like a miracle to me. >> you go to sit up, the alarm clock goes off and... "oh!" just... soon as your eyes open, you're reminded that your back hurts and that's been the... probably the biggest joy of it is waking up and just sliding out of bed. though it's not something that i think, oh, how much better my back is than it used to be since i'm using the back 2 life, it's that i don't think about my back anymore at all. >> over the past 12 years for my pain for my back, i've done physical therapy, massage, over-the-counter painkillers and prescription painkillers. after starting with the back 2 life, i woke up and i realized that i had slept through the night. i was like... that, that's been the best gift, uh, of everything. to have years of pain basically ease away in a week was absolutely incredible.
7:08 am
>> i haven't had any problem when i go to get out of my car. i don't have to lean in the same spot all the time. i would go to a mall for an hour and i'd say, "hey, i gotta get to the car... my back's killing me!" now i walk at the mall for exercise. all i know is that it works. >> i always hurt before. i mean, for 20 years, my back has hurt and i've accepted it. and then i was introduced to back 2 life and now, all of a sudden, it just doesn't hurt. after the third day, i had definite relief. i quit taking the aspirin and all pain medication after the third day. the pain's gone. i mean, i don't have the pain or the, the pressure, i think, on my lower back that i'm, that i'm used to. >> i couldn't stand for a long period of time, i couldn't sit for a long period of time. uh, i couldn't lift my son at all and i really thought i should not be going through this at 33 years old. i used back 2 life for a week and a half and i had no more back pain. it's just a something as simple as sitting back and relaxing
7:09 am
and letting this machine do all the work and then you get these types of results. who can ask for anything better? i'm still kind of in shock to say i don't have pain. i don't have any pain. >> if you or anyone you know suffer from some sort of back pain, you owe it to yourself to try this remarkable machine. and here's the best part: the back 2 life people are so certain that it will work for you, you can try it at home for a full 30 days absolutely risk-free. so what are you waiting for? pick up the phone and try the back 2 life risk-free. i promise you, you'll be glad you did. >> announcer: does it hurt to bend over? are you losing endless nights of sleep because of back pain? does your back twinge when you get up in the morning? has standing or walking become a backbreaking battle? are you sitting on the sidelines while everyone else has all the fun? then your life is about to change forever. introducing the back 2 life

[♪...] >> i have tried everything for the pain. i've been to chiropractors, i've been to doctors. if there's a solution out there, i've tried it. that's what brought me to the back 2 life. i've used the back 2 life for three weeks now. the first day, i felt relief. by the end of the first week, i slept the first eight-hour night that i had slept in over three years in my life. and now that it's three weeks down the road, i can say that for the last six nights, i have slept eight hours without waking up once in the middle of the night in pain, and i feel like a new person right now. i feel like i'm getting quality back to my life from the back 2 life.
7:14 am
my hips don't hurt. my back does not hurt. i'm standing here right now, 100% free of pain, and i've been standing here for 20 minutes. it's... that, to me, is, it's more than amazing, it's a miracle, because i really didn't think there was an answer. you feel like jumping up and down and celebrating, and the best part is that you can. [laughs] you can! >> so, doctor, you're telling us the back 2 life can be our first option before opening the medicine cabinet and reaching for all those pain pills? >> bella, in my practice, pain pills are the very last option and here's why. the average person may take quite a few more than this, but let's say it's just four pain pills per day. >> bella: o.k. >> doesn't look like much, does it? >> no. >> think about that... four over the course of a year is more than 1500. >> oh, this is unbelievable. that can't be good. >> it isn't. we know that just about every pill that comes out has side effects. the effect is cumulative. we used to think that if someone just took a small
7:15 am
amount of pills per day they would be fine. now we find in studies that when people take these pills, every single one of them accumulates in the organs over the years. >> hmm. >> this is dangerous. >> so it is an epidemic in our society. >> it is an epidemic and it's one that we have to change. but guess what? we finally found something that works. >> i could not get through a day, uh, without taking painkillers. so, um, i started using back 2 life and for the last... well, since i've started using it, i have not had to take a painkiller. >> i was taking so many painkillers until i started using the back 2 life machine. i had excruciating pain and i was popping the painkillers like they were candy all day long. i was very surprised that the back 2 life worked as quickly as it has. in fact, the first two days, i got a tremendous amount of relief. it has changed my life. >> my doctor prescribed painkillers, prescription painkillers, and i've been
7:16 am
taking them for at least 15 years, if not 20, and assumed i would be doing this the rest of my life with the painkillers. and, uh, i was taking six a day, sometimes eight a day and then i was introduced to back 2 life. i would say after the third day, i had definite relief. i quit taking the aspirin and all pain medication after the third day. >> since using back 2 life... true, true statement-- i have not taken any medication at all for my back... zero. >> announcer: introducing the back 2 life 12-minute back pain solution. this extraordinary medical breakthrough is causing a sensation across europe because of the amazing results back pain specialists are finally able to achieve for their patients. it's so unique, it holds three worldwide patents and is now available in the united states for the very first time. the back 2 life is currently selling all across europe for over $600, but for this special u.s. introductory offer,

7:18 am
[♪...] >> it's the worst feeling in the world, feeling that you're gonna be dependent on someone else for the most basic needs, you know, like... you needed someone to help you get out of bed just to go to the restroom or need someone to come and get you out of bed just to go to the dinner table. and it was frustrating. my wife-- it was also, you know, taking a toll on... on my personal life. i have a two-year-old son, uh, who's very lovable. he likes to be carried, he likes to cuddle and, you know, i couldn't do it. he would come... he would come over to the bed and then he would caress me and he would ask me, "what's wrong, daddy? why can't you... let's go outside. let's go play." and i'd have to tell him, i go, "son, i can't." you know, "not now, i can't." you know, "daddy's not feeling well." now, two weeks later, i can. i'm able to pick him up, i'm able to hold his weight, i'm able to bring him close to me
7:19 am
and... and, play games with him. i went from being bedridden before back 2 life to being able to move, drive, walk. it's amazing. i'm back. i'm back, you know, the old me is back and back 2 life has given me that freedom back. you know, i feel like, i feel like a new man. >> welcome back. we're here with back pain specialist dr. marc darrow discussing the back 2 life, the 12-minute back pain solution that has made headlines all over europe. dr. darrow, the back 2 life seems so simple but i would expect something that works this well to kind of push and pull and stretch and crack and all that kind of thing. >> that's what you'd really expect, bella, but the back 2 life device has been specifically designed by back pain experts to minimize the movement of the spine. and that's for a very specific reason. your muscles don't relax by being pushed and pulled dramatically. many of the treatments out there actually make your back worse. the truth is, bella,
7:20 am
all you need is this gentle motion for just 12 minutes. it's really effective. it really works. >> bella: so it's very safe and very effective. >> exactly. >> when your lower back hurts, everything hurts, or when your lower back hurts, every move you make or do reminds you of how bad that pain is. typically, when there's a problem in the spine, muscles around that area will automatically lock up, and if you, if there's pressure there, there will be pain constantly. the pressure has to be released from the spinal canal. when using the back 2 life product, there is a back and forth oval motion and the, the pelvic cavity is lifted up and then down in a very gentle motion, and this will help stretch the muscles in the lower back. it'll relieve the pressure on the lower lumbar discs that have built... been built up. and the back 2 life product will give relief to any of these cases, whether they're severe to moderate to mild. all the patients that i've worked with, we have
7:21 am
noticed either fantastic, uh, extreme results, down to, uh, very good results from the use of this product. >> as an osteopath using manipulation, what i'm usually trying to do is restore motion. the restricted motion leads to extra spasm, leads to pain, so i'm trying to restore the motion. this back 2 life restores motion. it's a constant motion machine. the vast majority of the time, acute back pain is muscular. in back strain, the back 2 life would move the muscle passively, which helps reduce swelling, which helps reduce spasm, therefore helping to reduce the pain. what i'm absolutely confident about is that this is safe and that people should gain flexibility, pain relief and mobility and return to their lives, so i'm, i'm sure that it's safe and i'm sure that a lot of people are gonna benefit from this machine. >> i probably evaluate 10 to 12 patients per day just
7:22 am
with low back injuries. this product is gonna work for 90-plus percent of patients that come in with low back pain. easy to use and, um, really safe and effective. >> bella, this machine is a real breakthrough. >> well, you know, doctor, i'm not a back expert but, uh, it would seem to me that not all back pain comes from the same source. am i right on that? >> well, you're absolutely correct. there are so many different reasons people have back pain. the back is an extremely complex set of muscles and bones and discs and nerves. so we find that the back 2 life system can get to the source of all of that. >> so what you're saying is, without surgery, without painkillers and without visits to the chiropractor, the back 2 life can help relieve nearly every kind of back pain? >> bella, by using this gentle and effective motion, in a short period of time, even if you've had severe back pain for years, you should see remarkable results.
7:23 am
>> it's a very gentle motion. it's very subtle and you're almost wondering how could this even work. but it does work. >> back 2 life machine absolutely works. i am living proof of it. >> i am walking proof. i can... and i'm sitting proof that it works. so, i mean, my results have been phenomenal. >> i can say that with, with all conviction and honesty, back 2 life works. >> it's very simple. it works. >> it works. back 2 life works. >> i, i am... i am a believer. [laughs] >> it really is a miracle. >> i'm a skeptic. i'm a physician. i, i look at science and i investigate things and, and i wasn't looking for an easy relief. this machine helped me in just the first 12 minutes i used it. >> back 2 life works for me. i'm, you know, i'm a convert, 'cause i was a skeptic at first and, uh, i'm thrilled. >> to have years of pain basically ease away in a week was absolutely incredible.
7:24 am
>> back 2 life works. it really works. uh, i... i'd like to see other people who, like myself, have had those limitations... gain the freedom that i have today. you really, really need to try it. it works. >> on behalf of all of the back pain sufferers, we'd like to thank dr. darrow. and if you're one of us, suffering from back pain, and you haven't already called, what are you waiting for? you owe it to yourself to try this incredible machine. believe me, the back 2 life works. >> announcer: does it hurt to bend over? are you losing endless nights of sleep because of back pain? does your back twinge when you get up in the morning? has standing or walking become a backbreaking battle? are you sitting on the sidelines while everyone else has all the fun? then your life is about

thank you for having me. >> thanks for being here. >> i'm so excited. well, as you know, i've worked over the years on so many tv shows and i've worked with more celebrities than i can count, so i have to know what looks good, and i learned that the key to looking good in your clothes is what you're wearing underneath your clothes. now, we all have our issues, whether it's a bulge here or a little roll over your jeans here, or if you just want a sleek and toned look, kymaro's new body shaper can do all that for you and more. i want you to look at this; this material is microfiber material and it moves with your body. it's flexible, it's breathable. it's not gonna suck you in like some other shapewear. it's a silky-smooth fabric that just hugs you and then gets rid of all the lumps and the bumps, and who are we kidding? we can all use a little help with the lumps and the bumps. >> we can all use a little help. >> o.k., i see that you're holding one of these horrible dreadful old-fashioned corset things and what's up with that? >> i know, this... it's like impossible little clasps... >> oh, it's horrible. >> you can't do it up. >> no, you can't. >> and then, wait, look at how uncomfortable this boning is. >> i wouldn't go there, i really wouldn't, and not only by the fact that it's uncomfortable, but you can see
7:35 am
it underneath your clothing and it's just embarrassing. people are gonna know what you're wearing. the wonderful thing about the kymaro new body shaper is that it's totally discreet. and it doesn't have boning, it's not gonna hurt you, there's no clasps trying to do something behind your back. it's so simple, you just step into it, you pull it up and you instantly have this fabulous figure. >> julia: o.k. let me ask you. >> evon: mm-hmm. >> are you wearing a kymaro's new body shaper right now? >> yes, i am-- i am! really, i'll show you. it is honestly so comfortable, it's like a second skin. no matter what my clothing... i could be wearing anything from my jeans to an evening gown, it's gonna always be comfortable no matter what the weather. i love it, i wouldn't be caught dead without it. >> absolutely. >> i can now wear my little black dress. i owe it all to the kymaro new body shaper. i couldn't fit into it before. i couldn't zip it up. i was being hugged in my hips and thighs. i did not feel comfortable at all, and now i feel fabulous. i am so thankful for having this product. i feel wonderful.
7:36 am
>> you know, i hate those one-piece body shapers and i've tried other two-pieces, and you put them on and it just binds and then you get the bulge... not this one. this new body shaper, you put it on-- no bulge. >> i have clean lines, no bulges and i can finally feel comfortable in a tank top again. i'm super excited about this. this is great. >> there's no comparison to the other shapers that are out there. this body shaper works. it's really thin, it's comfortable, i can wear it all day long without worrying about it rolling or me getting hot, and i look great in it. >> now what exactly is this criss-cross? >> julia, i'm glad you asked. the kymaro new body shaper has something that no other shaper can offer: this specially designed cross over the back. it provides all-day support, keeps your shoulders back and your posture straight. so not only do you get that slimming look, but you get back support all throughout the day. >> here in the back it has these cross stitching... this pattern here, and this supports the shoulders, the upper back and that's where i have my problem,
7:37 am
because i do tend to sometimes stoop a little bit, and so this just sort of holds me up taller and straighter... which i like to be since i'm just a, a short, you know, not, not real tall. i would highly recommend it to anyone watching this show. i mean, it's, it's wonderful. my back has never felt so good. >> now, evon, i notice that there's two pieces. what's the advantage of two pieces versus one piece? >> julia, i'm glad you asked. it's really important, because the two pieces actually complement each other. you can get the smoothness of a one-piece without the inconvenience of a one-piece. it's not hot, which is important. and a great feature: you can mix and match sizes so you can get a customized fit. the full coverage starts just below the bustline and goes just above the knee, and one of my favorite features is you don't have to get completely undressed when you go to the powder room. >> it's wonderful. you can mix and match with the two different colors, depending on what you're wearing, so you're always confident that your underwear's not gonna be showing.
7:38 am
there is no other product out there like the body shaper. i've tried them all and this is completely different, completely unique. it helps me stand straighter, it makes me look thinner, and none of the other body shaper products out there do both of those things. >> trust me, kymaro has thought of everything while still keeping a woman's body in mind. >> exactly. now, don't go away. coming up on the show, we're gonna be hearing from some ladies who've been wearing kymaro's new body shaper and we're gonna be seeing the reactions from some unsuspecting shoppers when they try it for the very first time. >> evon: ooh. >> julia: yeah, you don't want to go away. >> announcer: stop suffering every time you look at yourself in the mirror. those days of not being able to zip up your dress or button your pants are over. kymaro's new body shaper is the only way to get your figure back. you can look up to 20 pounds thinner instantly. that's right, instantly. the soft, breathable fabric moves with you and won't curl or roll up. kymaro's new body shaper is so light and comfortable that

we got together to talk about what he says is the right way to do it, with his incredible wen healthy haircare system. now, chaz, when i first met you, you told me that i had to stop lathering my hair with regular shampoo every day, and i gotta tell you, i thought that was a little bit crazy. >> i've heard that. >> i'm sure you have. >> many times. >> yes, and i'm sure you've also heard the word "revolutionary." >> because wen is revolutionary. it really is. >> it's a whole new way to cleanse your hair. but before we talk about wen, what exactly is wrong with ordinary shampoo? what's so bad about it? >> everything. anything that lathers is going to strip and rob your hair and your scalp of its natural, essential oils, leaving it dry, frizzy, fly-away, scalp issues, color loss. there's not one benefit in shampooing other than the cleansing. so if you can get it clean without stripping and robbing, wouldn't you? >> yes, yes, absolutely. so basically what you're saying
8:04 am
is that using regular shampoo on your hair is like using laundry detergent on your hair. >> exactly. and what happens when you use laundry detergent to wash your clothes? the fabrics break down and fall apart. you hair's doing the same thing. it's harsh detergents that are stripping your hair, robbing your hair, and it's becoming finer, thinner, and weaker. so it's not you, it's what you've been doing to your hair. >> all right, so what makes wen different? what is the secret? what's in wen? >> it's not what's in wen necessarily, it's what's not in wen that makes it so different. there's no surfactants, there's no detergents, there's no sodium lauryl sulfate, which are the damaging, drying, stripping elements found in shampoos. >> all right, so what is in wen? what did you put in-- >> what's in wen is a perfect balance of herbs and natural oils and ingredients that actually nurture the hair, and replenish the hair. so it doesn't lather. it's not going to lather. it's rich, it's creamy, it's like nurturing your scalp every time you cleanse your hair. >> so, wen cleansing conditioner replaces shampoo? >> not only does it replace your shampoo, it replaces shampoo,
8:05 am
conditioner, deep-conditioner, detangler, and leave-in conditioner. >> five products in one. >> yeah, and your hair looks how? >> oh, well, if i do say so myself. >> i love wen. i'm completely sold on this product. it's completely changed my hair from being dry and frizzy and unmanageable. now i can just air-dry, and it looks like this. >> so much softer and shinier and i can touch it. it still keeps the volume and the fullness throughout. >> i love playing with my hair now because it does stuff it didn't do before. >> no matter what type of hair-- no matter what you've heard about what you should be using for your hair, try this 'cause this works. >> now using wen, i only use one product. i use it to shampoo, condition, everything. i even use it to shave. >> my husband can not stop touching my hair ever since i started using these products. it's absolutely amazing. >> the easiest way to tell you what the wen healthy haircare system can do for your hair is to simply show you. so chaz agreed to give us
8:06 am
some demonstrations of how wen works on many different types of hair. all right, chaz, you're gonna tell us ellen's story, but before you do, i want you to see what ellen looked like when she came in this morning, after washing her hair just one time with a popular brand of shampoo. look at that. >> look how flat and dull and lifeless and frizzy it looks. and that's one time with shampoo, and now look at her after shot with cleansing with the wen sweet almont mint cleansing conditioner. just one time, it's absolutely incredible. look at the difference in the shine, the richness, her color. that's one time. one time with shampoo, and one time with the wen, and that big of a difference. ellen, first of all, you do need to know, she used to be bleach-blond, long, bleach-blond hair. >> really? >> yes, yes. >> i like the red. >> well, that's the first thing i asked her, "would you go red?" and immediately she said yes. now, what's the next question when you go from bleach-blond to red? color fadage. >> oh, yeah, definitely. >> does your color fade? >> no, it doesn't.
8:07 am
>> doesn't fade. she's one of our models that we use all the time. keep her color on a regular basis, but her fade is just so minimal, and you know how reds fade like crazy. >> yes, they do. yes, they do. being one, i know. so, it's great for every hair type. >> every hair type-- fine hair, coarse hair, medium, curly, ethnic, wavy, african-american hair. the sweet almond mint was the first one i came out with, and i wanted it to be a crossover product for everyone across the board. i didn't want anyone left out, so i tested on every single hair type, and it's incredible. it really changes the way you feel about your hair. >> the first time i realized that my hair was in bad shape was when i started doing how do i look? and the hairdresser that they brought on for me was hector, and he said, "no, no, no, i don't--no, this is not good." so the following day he brought in a bottle of wen. he said, "this is all you need to use," and of course i didn't understand, because i was like, "well, is there a conditioner that comes with this?"
8:08 am
and then when i first tried it i was like, "where's all the bubbles?" but he explained you just massage it into your scalp, and you run it through to the very ends, and then you leave it while you have the rest of your shower. now, that first day i was like, "oh, my god, look at this." it felt silky and shiny, and it just felt just like it used to when i was younger, and as soon as i started to use the product my hair started to recover and get to be much more beautiful and shiny. then people started to email in. you know, "what do you use on your hair? where do you get it cut?" and you can actually almost probably tell exactly when i started to use the product if you look back over the 100 episodes that we shot. really, just using it once and you'll see the difference immediately. >> we'll be right back with more incredible hair befores and afters. but now, here's how you can stop using your old shampoo, and get touchable, softer, shinier, healthier, more manageable,
8:09 am
beautiful hair with the wen healthy haircare system. >> now there's something completely new in haircare. introducing the wen healthy haircare system by chaz dean, the favorite haircare of top, hollywood celebrities. >> now that i have wen, i have one product that does it all. i'm so happy. >> ordinary shampoos lather, using sulfates and detergents that strip the hair of natural oils, 'causing dryness, friziness, dullness, and color-fade, but wen gently cleanses and moisturizes your hair and scalp, while leaving in the natural oils, using a perfect blend of herbs and natural ingredients, adding sheen, manageability, and body to your hair, while significantly retaining your hair color. it's revolutionary haircare that takes the place of shampoo, conditioner, deep-conditioner, detangler, and leave-in conditioner, all in one, saving you time and money. based on a three-week study, 90% of participants agree that
8:10 am
by using the wen cleansing conditioner, their hair was shinier, less frizzy, and had more bounce and body. and wen has been clinically proven to significantly retain color better than a leading shampoo on the market. >> this is the best my hair has ever looked. >> i will never shampoo again. >> you can see how healthy my hair looks. >> so if you're ready to make a change in your hair, say goodbye to ordinary shampoo, and say hello to beautiful, soft, shining, controllable hair, with the wen healthy haircare system. you'll start with the 30-day supply of wen sweet almond mint cleansing conditioner, perfect for all hair types. you'll also receive the wen styling cream, for extra control over your hair style. finally, you'll get the remoist intensive hair repair mask, a concentrated treatment to hydrate, soothe, and smooth dry, damaged, or chemically-treated hair. you could pay $500 or more in a salon for similar treatments, but you won't pay hundreds of dollars for wen. through this special introductory offer, the entire

8:13 am
time. beginning, the first thing you put on, and the last thing you rinse before getting out. the more you use, the better the results. the longer you leave it on, the better the results. >> growing up as an asian woman, it was a real struggle a lot of times dealing with my hair. asian hair, as beautiful and as shiny as it is, it can be very coarse, and very unyielding. so what wen products did for me is that my hair became softer and more manageable and more flexible, and that's really important, especially being an actress, to have flexibility with my hair. i am so happy with my hair now. i love the way it feels, i love the way it smells, my husband loves the way it feels and smells, and it's really important to walk out your house feeling good about your hair. it makes you just a happier person, i think. >> for me, why wen versus
8:14 am
shampoo is because ultimately the shampoo would dry my hair out, and take all the natural oils out that i'd then have to replenish by using conditioner, then the conditioner would kind of weigh it down, then i'd use product to volumize it, or to give some kind of curl to it, that would really dry it out, and then i'd use stuff to make it all oily and shiny and sheens 'cause it was dry, and it was way too many things in it. ultimately it just ended up depleting my hair. and now with wen it's like some crazy, fabulous, multi-purpose thing. i can use it as a leave-in conditioner, and the product. and it's done nothing but make my hair more supple and beautiful, and healthy-feeling, and i love it. >> i noticed the results immediately. my hair was more beautiful, more shiny, more volumous. it was really incredible. >> using wen makes your hair how it's supposed to be. i just feel like it's brought it back to its natural state. >> it was shinier and bouncier and fuller. it was beautiful. i loved it. it was great. >> i really didn't think my hair could look this good as it does now after using this product. and i didn't expect the kind of comment that i was getting from
8:15 am
people. they would look at me, and the first thing they would say is, "your hair looks great." >> what happens when you give up your traditional shampoo, and try wen for 30 days? we asked a group of women to do just that. >> i just saw my before and after difference, and it was just incredible. oh, goodness, gracious me. i mean, the close-up of the hair where you could see fly-aways, and it just looked fried. it just looked horrible. and then once i looked at the close shot of the after, after three weeks using the product, it was just like this smooth, satin, silky shine to it. it was just incredible. and the color stayed. 'cause i color my hair, but i noticed that the color really held, which was impressive to me. >> i walked in. i never realized it, but my hair looked like straw. wow. my hair has definitely suffered the wear and tear from the sun, from continual use of hair dryer
8:16 am
electric products. and the after picture, it's smooth, it's shiny, it's so healthy it's amazing. it feels like silk. very silky compared to that straw-like feeling that i had before. it's fantastic. >> i just saw my before and after picture and--night and day. it's a big difference. my hair was so flat and limp. it was very dry and brittle, and now it's soft, and honestly it is really supple to the touch. it has body and oomph and bounce, and it feels so good. thanks, chaz. >> i review hundreds of products per week. people are always dying to get their products in my hands. wen is a very unique product, and bottom line--it works. it absolutely has the potential to revolutionize the entire haircare industry because it's very simple. one step, one product.
8:17 am
you don't need to clutter your bathroom with a million different things. and it really is the thing that works for all hair types, regardless of whether you have curly hair, straight hair, it brings out your hair's natural beauty, and what chaz dean's product, wen, has done for me, is it's made it so that my hair is alive. it moves, it bounces, and it continues to shine. >> look, i know it can be scary to try something new on your hair. i mean, it's your hair. it's part of who you are. i'm almost a borderline crazy person about my hair. i had the same colorist and the same stylist for 20 years, and before wen i had been using the same haircare products for 15 years. but trust me, once you use wen, you'll never go back to your old shampoo again, and your hair will never look better. >> now there's something completely new in haircare. introducing the wen healthy

8:20 am
so call now. wen, it's all about the hair. >> back when i was shooting 90210, which was, like, 100 years ago, chaz was working on the concept for this product, wen, and he introduced us to the concept of not shampooing our hair, and we all thought he was insane at the time, because-- "what? what do you mean don't shampoo your hair?" but we didn't realize that there was a product that was gonna cleanse our hair and condition it at the same time. i used to love to get in the shower, and, like, bubble-up my hair, you know? and have all those bubbles and suds, but i never really knew that they were actually stripping my hair, and damaging my hr, but now that i have wen i saw the results after i got out of the shower, and as i started to use it a few days in a row, i really saw what giving up the bubbles was doing to my hair. it just was more manageable than it usually is. because with blond hair that is color-treated, let's just say, um, you often can get
8:21 am
really dry and frizzy, and, like, dull and lifeless, and my hair is shiny now, and usually you don't see shine on blondes, but i have shiny hair, see? look it. first of all, it smells amazing. it's so rich in emollient feeling, but it's all-natural, so i feel really good about using it on my little girls who have, you know, beautiful long hair, and they're using it now, who, too, i could never comb through their hair. now i'm able to comb through their hair. it's a lot less crying at combing time, so i love using it on my little girls' hair. >> okay, we're gonna talk about alicia's, but before we talk about alicia, let's look at a picture of what her hair looked like when she came in after first washing her hair one time with a popular brand of shampoo just one time. >> look at that--frizzy, fly-away, uncontrollable. look how dry--the color looks different. the color looks dull, flat, look how much richer her color looks. and the amazing part thayou're
8:22 am
gonna find out is today on her, the only thing i used was the sweet almond mint cleanser to cleanse her hair, and as a leave-in conditioner. i normally would use a styling cream, but i wanted to show you something mind-blowing, that on ethnic, african-american hair, she does not have a styling product in her hair today. she only today has the sweet almond cleansing conditioner as a leave-in conditioner, and she air-dried with a hooded dryer. >> that's shocking to me. >> feel it. don't be afraid. i mean, squeeze it, touch it. it's so soft. >> here's an example of, you know, when i was disbelieving that it could work on all different types of hair-- on ethnic hairs, on hairs like mine, on thin hair, all different types of heads of hair. we have the exact same product in our hair. >> yeah, all three of us do. all three of us do, and all three of us have different hair textures. >> but all three of us look great. >> yes, we do, with wen. >> my hair is so fine that i would have to wash it every day because it was easy to mess it up, but since using wen products my hair just feels like it's
8:23 am
baby hair again. it's added body to it, but it's given me back 20 years in my hair, i feel, anyway. >> before using this product it looked like i came in here with oily, dirty, dingy, hair, like i hadn't washed my hair, and i had just washed it before that photo. the only way i could style my hair before was to just slick it back, and it would stay like that, no life, and now it's just--i love it. too much bounce, too much volume. and this is what i always wanted to do with my hair. >> i mean, think about it-- every time you shampoo, you're just causing more damage to your hair. this morning you damaged your hair. think of all the damage you may be causing from years of traditional shampooing. so please stop using ordinary shampoo, and start the wen healthy haircare system right now. >> now there's something

8:37 am
>> doesn't fade. she's one of our models that we use all the time. keep her color on a regular basis, but her fade is just so minimal, and you know how reds fade like crazy. >> yes, they do. yes, they do. being one, i know. so, it's great for every hair type. >> every hair type-- fine hair, coarse hair, medium, curly, ethnic, wavy, african-american hair. the sweet almond mint was the first one i came out with, and i wanted it to be a crossover product for everyone across the board. i didn't want anyone left out, so i tested on every single hair type, and it's incredible. it really changes the way you feel about your hair. >> the first time i realized that my hair was in bad shape was when i started doing how do i look? and the hairdresser that they brought on for me was hector, and he said, "no, no, no, i don't--no, this is not good." so the following day he brought in a bottle of wen. he said, "this is all you need to use," and of course i didn't understand, because i was like, "well, is there a conditioner that comes with this?"
8:38 am
and then when i first tried it i was like, "where's all the bubbles?" but he explained you just massage it into your scalp, and you run it through to the very ends, and then you leave it while you have the rest of your shower. now, that first day i was like, "oh, my god, look at this." it felt silky and shiny, and it just felt just like it used to when i was younger, and as soon as i started to use the product my hair started to recover and get to be much more beautiful and shiny. then people started to email in. you know, "what do you use on your hair? where do you get it cut?" and you can actually almost probably tell exactly when i started to use the product if you look back over the 100 episodes that we shot. really, just using it once and you'll see the difference immediately. >> we'll be right back with more incredible hair befores and afters. but now, here's how you can stop using your old shampoo, and get touchable, softer, shinier, healthier, more manageable,

8:43 am
time. beginning, the first thing you put on, and the last thing you rinse before getting out. the more you use, the better the results. the longer you leave it on, the better the results. >> growing up as an asian woman, it was a real struggle a lot of times dealing with my hair. asian hair, as beautiful and as shiny as it is, it can be very coarse, and very unyielding. so what wen products did for me is that my hair became softer and more manageable and more flexible, and that's really important, especially being an actress, to have flexibility with my hair. i am so happy with my hair now. i love the way it feels, i love the way it smells, my husband loves the way it feels and smells, and it's really important to walk out your house feeling good about your hair. it makes you just a happier person, i think. >> for me, why wen versus
8:44 am
shampoo is because ultimately the shampoo would dry my hair out, and take all the natural oils out that i'd then have to replenish by using conditioner, then the conditioner would kind of weigh it down, then i'd use product to volumize it, or to give some kind of curl to it, that would really dry it out, and then i'd use stuff to make it all oily and shiny and sheens 'cause it was dry, and it was way too many things in it. ultimately it just ended up depleting my hair. and now with wen it's like some crazy, fabulous, multi-purpose thing. i can use it as a leave-in conditioner, and the product. and it's done nothing but make my hair more supple and beautiful, and healthy-feeling, and i love it. >> i noticed the results immediately. my hair was more beautiful, more shiny, more volumous. it was really incredible. >> using wen makes your hair how it's supposed to be. i just feel like it's brought it back to its natural state. >> it was shinier and bouncier and fuller. it was beautiful. i loved it. it was great. >> i really didn't think my hair could look this good as it does now after using this product. and i didn't expect the kind of comment that i was getting from
8:45 am
people. they would look at me, and the first thing they would say is, "your hair looks great." >> what happens when you give up your traditional shampoo, and try wen for 30 days? we asked a group of women to do just that. >> i just saw my before and after difference, and it was just incredible. oh, goodness, gracious me. i mean, the close-up of the hair where you could see fly-aways, and it just looked fried. it just looked horrible. and then once i looked at the close shot of the after, after three weeks using the product, it was just like this smooth, satin, silky shine to it. it was just incredible. and the color stayed. 'cause i color my hair, but i noticed that the color really held, which was impressive to me. >> i walked in. i never realized it, but my hair looked like straw. wow. my hair has definitely suffered the wear and tear from the sun, from continual use of hair dryer
8:46 am
electric products. and the after picture, it's smooth, it's shiny, it's so healthy it's amazing. it feels like silk. very silky compared to that straw-like feeling that i had before. it's fantastic. >> i just saw my before and after picture and--night and day. it's a big difference. my hair was so flat and limp. it was very dry and brittle, and now it's soft, and honestly it is really supple to the touch. it has body and oomph and bounce, and it feels so good. thanks, chaz. >> i review hundreds of products per week. people are always dying to get their products in my hands. wen is a very unique product, and bottom line--it works. it absolutely has the potential to revolutionize the entire haircare industry because it's very simple. one step, one product.
8:47 am
you don't need to clutter your bathroom with a million different things. and it really is the thing that works for all hair types, regardless of whether you have curly hair, straight hair, it brings out your hair's natural beauty, and what chaz dean's product, wen, has done for me, is it's made it so that my hair is alive. it moves, it bounces, and it continues to shine. >> look, i know it can be scary to try something new on your hair. i mean, it's your hair. it's part of who you are. i'm almost a borderline crazy person about my hair. i had the same colorist and the same stylist for 20 years, and before wen i had been using the same haircare products for 15 years. but trust me, once you use wen, you'll never go back to your old shampoo again, and your hair will never look better. >> now there's something completely new in haircare. introducing the wen healthy

8:50 am
so call now. wen, it's all about the hair. >> back when i was shooting 90210, which was, like, 100 years ago, chaz was working on the concept for this product, wen, and he introduced us to the concept of not shampooing our hair, and we all thought he was insane at the time, because-- "what? what do you mean don't shampoo your hair?" but we didn't realize that there was a product that was gonna cleanse our hair and condition it at the same time. i used to love to get in the shower, and, like, bubble-up my hair, you know? and have all those bubbles and suds, but i never really knew that they were actually stripping my hair, and damaging my hair, but now that i have wen i saw the results after i got out of the shower, and as i started to use it a few days in a row, i really saw what giving up the bubbles was doing to my hair. it just was more manageable than it usually is. because with blond hair that is color-treated, let's just say, um, you often can get
8:51 am
really dry and frizzy, and, like, dull and lifeless, and my hair is shiny now, and usually you don't see shine on blondes, but i have shiny hair, see? look it. first of all, it smells amazing. it's so rich in emollient feeling, but it's all-natural, so i feel really good about using it on my little girls who have, you know, beautiful long hair, and they're using it now, who, too, i could never comb through their hair. now i'm able to comb through their hair. it's a lot less crying at combing time, so i love using it on my little girls' hair. >> okay, we're gonna talk about alicia's, but before we talk about alicia, let's look at a picture of what her hair looked like when she came in after first washing her hair one time with a popular brand of shampoo just one time. >> look at that--frizzy, fly-away, uncontrollable. look how dry--the color looks different. the color looks dull, flat, look how much richer her color looks. and the amazing part that you're
8:52 am
gonna find out is today on her, the only thing i used was the sweet almond mint cleanser to cleanse her hair, and as a leave-in conditioner. i normally would use a styling cream, but i wanted to show you something mind-blowing, that on ethnic, african-american hair, she does not have a styling product in her hair today. she only today has the sweet almond cleansing conditioner as a leave-in conditioner, and she air-dried with a hooded dryer. >> that's shocking to me. >> feel it. don't be afraid. i mean, squeeze it, touch it. it's so soft. >> here's an example of, you know, when i was disbelieving that it could work on all different types of hair-- on ethnic hairs, on hairs like mine, on thin hair, all different types of heads of hair. we have the exact same product in our hair. >> yeah, all three of us do. all three of us do, and all three of us have different hair textures. >> but all three of us look great. >> yes, we do, with wen. >> my hair is so fine that i would have to wash it every day because it was easy to mess it up, but since using wen products my hair just feels like it's
8:53 am
baby hair again. it's added body to it, but it's given me back 20 years in my hair, i feel, anyway. >> before using this product it looked like i came in here with oily, dirty, dingy, hair, like i hadn't washed my hair, and i had just washed it before that photo. the only way i could style my hair before was to just slick it back, and it would stay like that, no life, and now it's just--i love it. too much bounce, too much volume. and this is what i always wanted to do with my hair. >> i mean, think about it-- every time you shampoo, you're just causing more damage to your hair. this morning you damaged your hair. think of all the damage you may be causing from years of traditional shampooing. so please stop using ordinary shampoo, and start the wen healthy haircare system right now. >> now there's something
