Wouldn’t it be better for the company to say”Hey girls, we will help you shed the hair that needs to be shed, but don’t worry, you never needed all that hair anyway”.
Man, listen, I do not need any help with shedding, and since we are all educated around here we are very aware that shedding is determined by one or both of two things.
One natural biological processes within our body or two, something that is too harsh that is applied topically to our scalp causing excessive hair fall. With WEN it seems obvious that we should go with option 2 just based on the complaints along. The issue is… what could be in the product that caused hair loss that was not declared on the ingredient list?
Amy is specifically charging WEN with violating California false advertising law, violating Florida’s Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act and negligence and failure to warn.
The lawsuit also claimed that Guthy-Renker had knowledge of a material design effect:
[Guthy-Renker did not ] disclose and/or warn plaintiff and other consumers that Wen Cleansing Conditioner can and does cause substantial hair loss [and that] Guthy-Renker concealed customers’ comments concerning hair loss, by blocking and/or erasing such comments from the WEN Facebook page.”
The “bad” news is I still have no idea what could be in the product that causes hair fall, and from just a quick search it seems this mystery has yet to be explained.
I agree with people who have talked about this issue, you should probably keep shampoo around in your regimen just in case there is something on your scalp that needs to be stripped away.
Other than that, we just have to be very aware. If we notice hair loss after using any product, the best rule of thumb is to just stop using it!
We will see how this suit pans out; in the meantime, I will NOT be purchasing WEN.
I was going to purchase some myself but after checking out their fb page, I changed my mind. Nothing but complaints. I’ll stick to the stuff I know.
I don’t think co washing should be done all the time im sticking with washing with shampoo and conditioner
hmm…I always wanted to try this xx;
I tired this, and the first time I used it my hair clumped up really bad and came out. Tried it again and it didn’t. Not sure why, but I asked for my money back lbs
I’ve never had any problems when i used it
Yep, true my hair is thin as paper and continues to fall out gotta get some keranique. Rogaine or yeast infection cream something to stop it but stay away from Chaz,!
I have tried wen hair products which did nothing for my hair. Breakage and shedding continued until I stopped using it and started weekly natural deep hair mask and following other natural hair technics that has improved my overall hair health. Now practically no breakage and experiencing grow. Reading and learning from this blog and watching others, like Curly Nikki and Urban Bush Babes has literally saved my hair. Can’t thank you guys enough. Try their natural remedies you won’t be disappointed????
I tried this mess… Didn’t make my hair fall out but my hair never felt clean! It was limp like I had buildup on it
I always wanted this. thought it would be some miracle for my hair. glad my finances kept me from purchasing. lol.
What
Brandi Brooks thanks it would suck to pay for $50 shampoo and have your hair fall out. . .it did make my hair look and feel bomb though. .
Everything is not meant for everyone, I wanted to try it, still might but this makes me think twice before spending the money
It’s been doing that for years! lol
It made my hair fall out.. at first I thought that it was normal. I always lose hair in the shower. But then I realized it was more than normal. I stopped using it and my hair is a lot thinner than it used to be.. 🙁
I think I saw this stuff in the dollar tree???
No
Highly doubt it lol
Nothing new. 2 of my friends with different hair types both lost a lot of hair. It matted up her hair the first time!
I’ve used Wen on natural hair for 3 years with no hair loss

I hated it as a cowash but like it as a leave in.
I use this (I’m black) and my hair grew past the middle of my back and I have “Om Fu Fu” hair.
Smh. Never read a bad review.
I only use it if im gonna straighten my hair
hmmm the very 1st time I used it I had issues cause I didn’t follow the instructions after all it’s not a shampoo it’s a cleanser when it was time for another wash I followed the instructions love love love it
I read an article last month about it. I used it at one time. I won’t be buying it again.
There is suppose to be a class action lawsuit on this product. If they win, WEN, will be bankrupt. He is doing an hour long infomercial. He needs money!
My coworker is his best friend but needless to say she don’t even use it! #TERRIBLE
It happened to me. So for all those who say it won’t, just give it some time. I had to do the big chop because of it. The way it fell out was insidious.
I think over ten years is long enough, don’t you?

It makes your hair feel dry and stiff to me. Its terrible in my opinion.
Just as I was about to go in my purse.
Been using this for 1year never had a problem but everyone has different types of hair so to each their own
Tried it, loved it, wanted cheaper, returned to it.
Probably depends on the hair type like any other system.’
I have been using WEN for years and i have never had a problem! Does great things for my hair and scalp. Speaking for myself it’s great on my hair!
Say whert!!!!
Wow
I have not heard a good thing about this product
You just did.
You just did.
Oh SNAP!
I used WEN once and my hair started falling out in clumps. That was my first and last time using WEN. I wouldn’t recommend WEN to a dog !

I’ve been using WEN for over 10 years and haven’t had a day that I lost hair from using it. I started WEN while I had a relaxer in my hair without any adverse effects. I stopped using a relaxer a little over a year ago while still using WEN agony still no adverse effects. My hair is still growing, after the Big Chop, and all the new products I’ve added to my regimen. So maybe some people have had a bad reaction, but I haven’t and I’m not going to stop using it now.

I’ll stick with Cantu Shea Butter organic Shea Butter and olive oil . My hair loves natural oils and Shea Butter . It hates commercial products with chemicals .

I order WEN in 2011 I place an order for the fig conditioner that was recommended for black hair (im all natural) I didn’t notice any hair loss but I started getting a bad rash on my neck. I got it to go away but after using product again rash come back so I figured it was something in it I had a reaction too. So I re order but this time I order the oringal condish (order the almond) and again after using product rash return..I stopped using WEN completely.. Not worth itching all day and neck looking a hot mess.. Use Shea Moisture products or other natural products.

I used Wen on and off for years with no problems. Every product doesn’t work for every person. Wen is one of those products where you either love it or you don’t. You have to use it to find out if it works for you. You can’t really go by someone else’s opinions.

A few years ago I had a Wen starter kit, the cleansing conditioner, I think a deep conditioner, and a styling mist or something. I used it a couple times, and was glad the product was small sized, as I was not impressed. It wasn’t until much later that I read page upon page of horror about hair loss. I think I dodged a bullet, my hair is thinning on its own and doesn’t need any help.
