    I found Wen to be the most fantastic product when I first began using it. I had never received more compliments about shine, texture, volume and color. But about a year in, I started noticing clumps of hair swirling down the drain. It got to the point that I was terrified. I then began reading about Wen products causing hair loss due to the fact that the product never truly rinses out cleanly, causing accumulation that eventually chokes and kills the follicle. It made sense. I had never suffered any sort of hair loss until I was well into using Wen. So, of course I stopped using it and went back to shampoo. And my hair stopped falling out. It was absolutely the Wen. That is my personal experience. I cannot speak for anyone else. Did I rinse cleanly as advised? Yes. Did I use it every day? No. I followed the instructions to the letter, but the fact is that I lost quite a lot of hair. Also, my hair became resistant to color.

    I went to change my color and the Wen treated hair would NOT take color of any kind. My colorist had never seen anything like it. Strange, right? I think the thing that bothers me the most about this entire experience is the Wen Companies vehement and across the board denials that their product had ANYTHING to do with people's hair loss. This is a company that obviously cares nothing about the people it sells to. I found it absolutely reprehensible that their spokesman and creator, Chaz Dean, so callously turned his back and a blind ear to so many of us who came to him with concerns about our hair falling out. What a terrible man. Shame on him for being so heartless and uncaring.

    This company is nothing but a scam. I ordered the Wen sample and have been debited twice and was sent products I didn't order. I resented talking to someone who couldn't even pronounce my name and we didn't understand each other's language. I'm sick of these companies selling our information abroad and sticking us with bills we never agreed to. The Wen product isn't worth the box it was mailed in. You have fake reviews where they give glowing praise and give it a rating of 1 out of 5. They are clearly fake reviews.

    I have been using WEN for years and really felt it made a huge difference and came to love this product. It made my hair healthier than it had been in awhile so imagine my surprise when I went to order it online and found out no matter what site I went on they would not ship to Canada??? So I called the Wen offices and told them what happened, said I was an existing customer and that I wanted them to ship some to me and the guy on the phone just said, "We no longer ship to Canada." ??? When I asked why that was he could not give me an answer and just kept repeating that they no longer ship to Canada... not sure how a company or why a company would cut off an entire country from getting their product especially since they are getting poor reviews and lawsuits in their own country?? Absolutely makes no sense to me whatsoever and apparently Amazon will not ship it here either!! Unbelievable???

    WEN Cleansing Conditioner and Replenishing Treatment Mist - I am 62 years old and have hair that is two feet long. What's left of it that is. The 25% that is left. Seriously. All of my life people have told me what gorgeous hair I have. Even with that, I don't think that I am particularly vain about it-- or I would have "noticed" or taken much more seriously the hair falling out that started about a year ago. I usually just sleep with 2 braids in, and finger it out in the morning, leaving a head full of very long, wavy hair. People have actually told me that they thought it was a wig (I wear hats a often), because it was so "perfect". A cashier at my local grocery store told me, "Your hair is everything to me!" And another one told me "I tried to buy your hair the other day!"

    I had used Wen regularly beginning in late 2015- when I could afford it -- but I used very little not at all the huge recommended amount. I bought a gallon about a year ago. and began using more. It seems that all of a sudden out of nowhere, my hair is "gone". I wash my hair in the tub so I guess that I don't see it going down the sink. I don't have any bald spots but I just have this incredibly baby fine, weak hair now. I washed my hair this am, believe it or not with Wen. I let it air dry and it took exactly ten curlers to curl my whole head. What on earth took me so long to realize it was the Wen, I don't know.

    Two weeks ago I saw my sister and she said "Two thirds of your hair is gone." I finally broke down today and sobbed. I called QVC to talk to them about it. I thought that it couldn't be the Wen or it would have happened right away--how I wish to God that I had read the detailed reviews about Wen products and hair loss. Thousands of women can't be lying or just plain "wrong". Had I read the detailed reviews I would have been monitoring my hair very closely and probably used a much lesser amount of Wen, and, as soon as any hair loss began ( which started a little over a year ago), I would have discontinued the products immediately.

    Dear Reader, please tell everyone that you know. STAY AWAY FROM WEN. PERIOD. IT CAN VERY GRADUALLY RUIN YOUR HAIR. I really feel that QVC is liable here too, for the lovey-dovey folksy way that they peddle the stuff. Who doesn't want to be a "Wennie" and be in on all of the fun??? I used Dollar Tree apple scented shampoo and TRESemmé anti-breakage conditioner for years before using Wen, and people always complimented me on my "gorgeous" hair. I'm going right back there tomorrow.

    I will be boycotting QVC period. Shame Shame Shame on them for continuing to peddle the stuff when they know good and well that Chaz Dean has had to pay out millions to settle his class action lawsuits. At the bare minimum they should have a disclaimer, stating that thousands of women believe that they have lost their hair due to using Wen hair care products, just like cigarettes. At least a government warning on the doggone stuff!!! Please please please, if you are using this junk, stop. Tell your friends. Friends don't let friends use Wen!!!

    I have used Wen for at least 3 years. I bought my first Gallon the bamboo last year. I started noticing my scalp itching and then thin hair. 1/4 of the gallon used. Will not keep using it. I had read reviews about hair loss but only noticed in the last couple of months my hair thinning and thought about the reviews. An expensive loss monetarily but also my hair.

    How dare this company declare that their products have nothing to do with any hair loss, good reviews don't always come from the consumer as we all know, but bad ones do. My experience of this product is the same as all the negative comments... hair loss, right from the start, l had a beautiful head of thick hair, but not now and it's three years since I gave this god awful product up. My advice is quite simple. Please go to your local chemists and take your pick of the genuine hair products that are available and nowhere near the ridiculous silly prices you would pay to Wen to be more or less scalped.

    I thought this was a miracle product when I first started using it. After about a year, my hairdresser noticed density loss but it still looked wonderful so I didn’t take any action. A couple years later, I started noticing brittle, coarse hair growing in place of my silky mane. My scalp was itching and sore, my hair actually hurts every day now. I lost 40% of my hair which was devastating and very noticeable. If you’re thinking about buying this product, please reconsider because the effects may not be visible for years and the damage can be permanent.

    I purchased Wen hair products a couple years ago the shampoo and some finishing products. I still have a little shampoo left. My hair is horrible. I noticed for the past year my brush was full of hair. And you can see my scalp in many areas in front. I hardly have any bangs left. They are so thin. The texture of my hair has changed too. It's very lifeless and so thin. I didn't know what was causing this? I stumbled across a review of someone saying Wen products destroyed her hair and it was falling out. I am shocked that QVC sold this product to customers and this is the price I have to pay now having bought it. I am outraged that this happened and I to want to be added on the lawsuit against this company.

    I ordered this based on the presentation on QVC. I have short hair that is straight with no curl. I have used this product 3 times and it will be sent back. Within a couple of hours of using it, my hair is greasy, flat and doesn't look clean. I was embarrassed to be at work yesterday because my hair looked so bad. WEN should be ashamed to produce this product and QVC should be ashamed for selling it.

    What a shock. Yes I heard about the lawsuit, but since QVC was still selling it, I thought it was just people going after a big company. I have used nothing but Wen for 7 years. About 4 weeks ago my hair suddenly became really dry on the top of my head. Not thinking it was the Wen I started looking at medication, diet etc. Racking my brain to come up with a answer. My Dr had put me on a new medicine at very low dose and increased it about 6 weeks ago, I went off the medicine completely because some had reported hair loss & dryness etc., but their hair seemed to be fine after they stopped this medicine. But my hair has become more dry, brittle, thin by the day.

    Since using WEN I only cleanse every 3 to 4 days. So I started researching dry conditioner products, in the meantime I started using WEN replenishing more & more still not thinking it was WEN. After reading all of these reviews... I am throwing away every cleanser, mask, style cream, hair spray, replenisher today, and I have a LOT of stocked up WEN product. Ironically I was researching to see if WEN had any new product for dry brittle hair and I came across this site and I am thankful I did otherwise. Like a lot of users I didn't possibly think WEN was the issue but this many people would not be writing false reviews.

    I just hope I have stopped use in time. Recently my scalp has been itching also. I hope they remove WEN from the market. I had a friend that was a big user, she quit WEN not long after the lawsuit news hit big, she just said she needed to use something different, I just thought someone scared her away due to lawsuit, she was the smart one. Like a lot of people I have recommended WEN a lot! I noticed that some users have said they were contacted about the lawsuit but I haven't been notified at all, I wish I had. Again I have only purchased from QVC. I am disappointed that they did not respect their customers enough to have at least sent a notice, not everyone listens to the news.

    I have been doing a lot of research for new shampoo, conditioner, hairspray well everything. I will be checking every ingredient and not dismiss lawsuits of this nature. When I think of the effects to my hair and all the money I have spent on WEN, well it just makes me sick. After not even wading through a 1/8th of the reviews... they are so awful I couldn't read one more.

    I tried this product 6 years ago (yes 6 years ago). The product was terrible, my daughter's hair began to fall out and I immediately returned the second shipment. And the third. And the fourth. I spent hours on hold or speaking to reps who were ridiculous to work with, but finally the nightmare was over. Until today, when I received a call from a collection agency telling me I never paid the CANCELLATION fee of $98.00. What?! No one ever mentioned a cancellation fee and I never received a bill for it. Now I get to fight this crappy company again. Why would there be a cancellation fee on a month by month product? Even if you like the product (it sucks) you will be unable to get away from these bloodsuckers. If need be I will take appropriate action to stop this harassment.

I am looking for an attorney to handle a claim against Wen by Chaz Dean. They should of told all of their customers about the hair loss complaints. The judge needs to re-open the class action suit so all of us that never got notified can get compensation. I have spent thousands of dollars to try to get my hair back.

    I had used WEN for 6-8 months before I was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. I started chemo which consisted of 2 different chemo. I was told on day 9 I would lose my hair. I considered this a small price to pay for remission. However, I continued using WEN and day 9 came and went with minimal hair loss. The chemo was quite severe for me and I was hospitalized 2 times for decreased blood pressure and damaged kidneys from the chemo. However, I never lost my hair. It did thin some while I was hospitalized, but I did not have my WEN. I can tell you my hair and scalp felt and feel wonderful using WEN. I used WEN frequently because my scalp felt so good with the product on.

    I had a diagnosis of chemo-induced dehydration so this hair cleanser was a God sent for me. I believe WEN helped prevent my hair loss. I am in remission for 6 months now and still using WEN. My hair is fuller than it has ever been and soft and healthy. I am truly grateful for this product. The scents are lovely, but for me it was a little miracle and God handled the big miracle of my remission.

    I have been reading through the reviews and have been quite disturbed by the amount of negative responses. I have wild thick curly untamed hair and the WEN cleansing creams have been the ONLY product that I have ever found that has helped. I have been using the products for 12 years now (purchased first from TV and now off eBay). In Australia we don't have the option of the full range but I have used 7 different types and 6/7 have been perfect for my hair. The cucumber one my partner uses and his 'hair' is actually 'growing back' not losing it like so many claim.

    May I be so bold and suggest that there may be another reason this may be happening other than blaming the product? My hair is waist length, thick and I constantly have new growth as my hairdresser keeps telling me. I also love the fact that it doesn't contain many of the nasties that generic hair products do so there is no concern about putting it on my scalp. I personally give this product 100 stars and won't be changing my routine at all. A very happy user. P.S. Currently using the fig cleansing cream. Love it.

    I too have been affected by Wen Shampoo in a very negative way. I was fortunate to realize the negative effects were the shampoo within 2 uses. Otherwise it may have been a whole lot worse for me. I used it and noticed my hair falling out after initial use. By the second use there was NO DOUBT it was the Wen shampoo. Even after discontinuing use I kept losing hair for months afterward and my scalp was damaged, itchy and irritated. I am someone who had absolutely no problems with my hair before using this shampoo. I had no concerns, no allergies. So these people who claim it's an allergy or vitamin deficiency are completely wrong. I got checked by a specialist and there was nothing wrong with me before the shampoo.

    NOW however... although my hair has thankfully stopped falling out by the handfuls... my scalp has never been the same. I still struggle with scalp irritation because of this shampoo. I now have to be extremely careful what shampoo I use. I have to buy expensive chemical free shampoo from the health stores. This shampoo has changed my life forever. Although I have been through hell because of this product. I choose to grow from the experience. I have learned a valuable lesson. Never!! Buy or use a product without doing a little research on it. Find out what you are putting on your hair or skin. Use apps like "think dirty" which allows you to scan your products or EWG to find out what you are allowing on your skin and hair. It's important we buy chemical free products... they are harming us. And if individuals don't make the changes then big companies won't either.

    Hello I used the product one time. It was the almond conditioner and I didn't like it at all. It left a really heavy feeling in my scalp and hair and was so hard to wash out. I thought it was odd that there was no shampoo and only conditioner product to use. But my sister was the one who always saw the wen hair care products on TV and wanted so bad. She always said she wanted to be a wen girl. She ordered a set for 45.00 and used a few times but didn't really like it. Wasn't all that sucked actually. She didn't have any hair loss or long term damage. Thank god. I don't believe she used it enough.

    She now uses it for shaving her legs. If hair wants to fall out because of this crap perfect place to use it. I filed for my sister in the law suit for the 25.00 check for her. Thank god didn't need more. But we never got the check or anything. I just thank god her hair is ok.

    My experience using WEN was fine. I mean it didn't fix my split ends but my hair did look healthier, everyone would say how much better my hair looked. It felt softer as well. I only stop using it because the credit card they had on file became cancelled and I never updated it. Been wanting to get it again but after reading some of these reviews I'm scared. Maybe most likely the formulas have changed since I finished the bottles I had. However this was also between 2014-16, so anyone who reviews are complaining. Having problems before that I don't understand how so many are having the same problems. Maybe I'm one of the few exceptions who isn't harmed by the formula, that is if it hasn't changed. Still, I'm concerned about having the same results as apparently so many others. To all of you who have experienced negative results, worst of them, hair loss, I am so sorry that happened and hope you are able to reverse/restore the damage.

So I stopped and in Jan of 2017 I used it again and the same thing happened again so I stopped using all of the products.

After using the product for a little while me and my granddaughter experienced hair loss and breakage. I have regained the greater portion of my locks however, my granddaughter still struggles with her hair texture and growth. I had great hopes and really wanted to believe the "stars" and the reviews they age.

    I received the Wen Hair products. Within a day scalp irritation almost instantly. In a week loss of hair all over, bald burning with bloody itching spots. Wen cleansing conditioner destroyed my thick black hair. Worst company ever. Had total hair loss on contact with this product. My whole family has their hair. My 99 year old grandmother currently passed and had a full head of hair. Italian blooded people don’t usually go bald, not in my family. I used to work out, be sociable and wasn’t embarrassed to go out in public. Now I pay out the ** for a ** psychiatrist who has me on anti-depressant, addictive anti-anxiety meds, sleep meds which cause ataxia and my life has become hell.

    These evil people should be forced to be bathed in their product day and night. Then be cast in the lake of fire or all damnation. To experience their corrupt ways for greed for hurting innocent unsuspecting people. To have unsafe levels of chemical, this is not acceptable. That ** on Shark Tank she be held responsible too. ** and her magic broom, guess she is a witch, bet she hasn’t offered a dime of her hundreds of millions.

    I used Sweet Almond Mint, hair cleansing cream daily for 2 months before I noticed my hair falling out. My hair was also very shiny and bouncy. I lost handfuls of hair from the roots during the four year length of time I used WEN. Four months after stopping WEN my hair had ceased to fall out. Call me crazy, but this is scientific proof!

    The product had a very negative reaction with my hair. It made it very oily and when I was using it I had lost a lot of my hair. My hair is not healthier and I still have a lot of dry split ends. When I tried to cancel my order which was in their warehouse they said, "We can't get to the shipment and cancel your order. We will send you a return shipment label that should get there before the shipment and then you can return it for a refund." What they did not tell me at the time was that I was getting a partial refund and not the full refund. I am very upset because companies are so quick to take your money out, but not so quick about making the refunds. I am upset because the partial refund is not what I should be owed. They got asked before the shipment even went out.

    I worked at many companies and when the customer told/asked me to pull their shipment out I did so. I have never met a company that has such bad ethics and customer service. I felt like my business was not worth it to them and I was not treated like a customer should be. I have bent over backwards for each of my customers at Caldor's Inc, Walmart, Northeast Graphics and as a nurse I bend over backwards for my clientele all the time. No matter how I truly feel they are the customers and they are always right. Please go somewhere else for your shampoo and products. DO NOT waste your time with this company. You will be sad you did.

    I've been using Wen for a year now. However, it wasn't until recently that I've notice my hair to fall out in massive quantities. I didn't understand why until now. I used a different shampoo the last time and nearly as much hair fell out. I won't be using this shampoo anymore... I use it in my girl's hair too and notice lots of breakage as well. Since using a different shampoo our hair seems to be doing better however I have not gotten it back under control completely yet. It's going to be a process but glad I figured this out before bald spots.

    I used WEN for a while when I used to purchased it from QVC at least 3 years approximately. While I was using it I noticed my hair thinning and every time used it after combing my hair I always see a good amount of hair in my hand after passing. Months of using WEN I really couldn't think that WEN was the reason so I made an appo to see my family Dr and told her about why my hair is falling and never have in my life lost that much. One day I was telling one of my sisters about what's going on with me. She mentions about how many woman losing their hair because they are using WEN so I told her it happened to me. I am losing a bunch of hair every time I take a shower.

    So I stopped using WEN and I called QVC, told them I want to return some WEN product that I purchased. I had purchased at that time gallon so they accept my return but since then really I saw huge difference in my hair, how it change, and little by little I began to eyes a difference but my right side of my hair almost I was bald. Now it's getting a lot better so I just feel I had to write this review because I suffer for a period of time.

    See our story on youtube! Hair loss on contact, 10 year old girl, not recovered after 2.5 years. Wen cleansing conditioner destroyed our happy life. Worst gift ever. My little girl had total hair loss on contact with this product. A more complete story is also in a facebook album. I believe it to have unsafe levels of chemicals. This is not a "build up" thing. Only twice was it used on her entire head. 100% hair loss. 2.5 years later still only 2/3rds of her head has hair, and it has probably triggered hair issues for life. Her story was also featured in the New York Times and I spoke on Capitol Hill in DC at multiple events, and her story was shared in a senate committee hearing. I'm an introvert, and I hate politics, so you know I'm not making this story up!

    I am so glad I stumbled upon this discussion forum. For the longest time I thought my hair was betraying me. I had first saw Wen and totally feel in love with the results I saw. I quickly ordered it. I love don't the smell, the soft texture of my hair and it did look very healthy. But after every single wash I noticed I had this leftover buildup. I initially thought I must not be washing it out correctly, so I would scrub the heck out of my head. Still nothing. If you read the instructions, it recommended you apply in three section with about 2-3 pumps per section... That's a lot of product! So, I thought, maybe I'll just use less... yet still I had greasy hair. Then I thought maybe it is my hair, and it is so dirty that Wen isn't reaching all the areas.

    Regardless... I was not happy. I called and explained my problem and received my money back. A few years later I thought I'd give it one more try, may I was doing it wrong. So this time when I received Wen I was determined, yet again! Greasy build up. I called again, and returned the product, my money back, and filed a complaint. The representative told me to try washing your hair with shampoo after... Hello!!! Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose!? Needless to say, I am not a fan.

    So to all the individuals who suffered hair loss I am so sorry. But I highly recommend you check up on and do research on MONAT!! After Wen I was discouraged and believed nothing. Until I found Monat. Absolutely 100% clinically tested and proven!! To stop hair loss and promote hair growth! ABSOLUTELY no chemicals!

    I have been a Wen girl for over 12 years and noticed that the formula must have changed. I used all the products and in the past 5 years something is different. Is it me? Or the product? Is my life that stressed out that my hair is forming a bald spot that even my kids notice? At 64 years of age my hair is thin and lifeless. Unlike other consumers fortunately I don't have itchy scalp but a noticeable growing bald spot on the top and sides of my head.

    I stopped using Wen products and shampooed and conditioned with Pantene just one time and the hair looks so much fuller and even my husband noticed. And he said he noticed years ago that my hair was thinning but didn't want to hurt my feelings and tell me so. Will keep you posted on the next couple of months and see if my hair grows back. I agree with so many other customers, how can QVC and their great reputation allow these products to be on their channel? Use this with caution. Seems there are more negatives than positive comments on these products.

    I purchased Wen hair care products from QVC March 2015. I used it for about 4 months. I started to notice scalp irritation almost instantly. I assumed the irritation was caused by sleeping with my hair wet overnight. The burning and itching became so bad that my scalp would bleed. The raw scalp and open sores became even worse with every wash. Within a month I noticed clumps of hair pooling by the drain, tangled in my fingers when washing my hair, and larger than normal hair accumulation on my hair brush. It became painful just to lay my head on my pillow. I stopped using the Wen hair care products within 2 months of purchasing and threw it all away. I was extreme not disappointed with the money I spent, the horrible reaction and the hair loss. I sent multiple e-mails to http://www.wen.com/contact-us with very generic replies. I also contacted Consumer Affairs, QVC and Better Business Bureau.

    Imagine your frustration and embarrassment when your beautiful long hair turns into a thin, brittle, dull, patchy disaster. My whole scalp was red and burning to the point I couldn't even go out in the sun without a hat, or into a swimming pool, or go out on my family's boat. This has caused me so much anxiety and stress. I have become depressed and rarely go out anymore. I was supposed to go on a 10 day cruise this past fall but I canceled due to my insecurities. I am so disgusted and angry that this is happening.

    Two years ago after seeing an ad on craigslist for 3 bottles of Wen hair product and other misc Wen products at a price I couldn't refuse I jumped at the chance to have hair like the T.V. ads, reviews, commercials they talked about but the product was expensive, so I bought off of Craigslist at a reasonable price. This was in June and by September, my hair started to fall out, scalp was itchy and became very sensitive, like scratching a sunburn. I stopped using Wen then. The itchiness wouldn't go away after going back to regular shampoo. Looking for a remedy I tried oil treatments and it didn't help.

    I decide to visit my Doctor and they had no explanation and gave me steroids to put on my head twice a day and explained it wouldn't help get my hair back. After the Doctor visit I heard there were others like this. I am writing my review in hopes of others getting help soon and stop using Wen. This is March and my hair is still falling out and my scalp is still itchy and sensitive without the sunburn feeling.

    Order Date: 06/06/2015. WEN by Chaz Dean Seasonal Cond. One Gallon Auto - Spring Blossom. A friend, who knew my story saw this website and thought I should share my testimony. I wanted to ask people to please stop defending WEN by Chaz Dean. If this is not your experience, does not mean that it is not someone else. It CRUEL, what has happen to me and others. It's not something I would wish on any woman. Your hair is your GLORY! I'm still crying about this, every time I think about what happened, you can't get rid of that. Let me start by saying, I have never had hair loss. If anything my hair was very healthy and strong. There is no history of hair loss or balding in my family, I have two sisters with beautiful full heads of hair. I have been on thyroid medicine since 2009, it did not affect my hair, skin or nails. Those are my disclaimers.

    I am an ** woman and I had watched the info commercials and wanted to try this amazing hair product. I purchased WEN from QVC for $202.44 a bargain, I was so excited. I had family members and friends buy me more for Christmas presents that year. I had enough to last for a while. I used it in my daughters and my hair, but her hair texture starting changing and then she started losing hair.

    I didn't really think it was the WEN, not at first. I had switch completely over to using WEN and nothing else. I had so much, and let's be honest, it was a huge investment on my part and on the part of my family and friends. My husband was using it and he didn't have any issues and I noticed that my hair was dry, brittle and the texture was different, but the loss was gradual - at first. I could see underneath. I was getting bald spots. I was losing my hair and I didn't understand why. My texture was changing, but I thought that was part of the process. Honestly, I wasn't aware of any issues and I was still seeing WEN on QVC and the beautiful results and wondering why my hair didn't look like their hair. I thought maybe I need to buy the other products as well, get everything.

    I had some hair loss, it was misleading - how often do you look at the back of your head underneath hair part and search for balded areas. Some hair loss, until it wasn't. I was washing my hair, preparing for a wedding and I felt something all over me and I opened my eyes to see my hair everywhere. I screamed. I didn't know, what had happened and I didn't care, my hair was everywhere. I jumped out of the shower and touched my hair and it was in my hands. It was coming out everywhere. I grabbed a comb and more hair. Devastating, emotional distress, I didn't understand what happened. I had done the same thing, I had done a hundred of times. But my hair was falling out by the handful.

    I'm on my way to a wedding. I was that girl, that people loved to touched my hair, ask what products I used, make comments. My hair has always been one of my best qualities. It sounds awful but as women, we care for hair and it's not an afterthought. I have always been very careful with products, shampoos, conditioners, oils, any and all styling products I use. I watched this product for a long time and I really thought about, looked at videos and in the end trusted QVC.

    My hair was all over my body, tub, shower curtain and I was holding it in my hands, combing it out as gentle as possible, trying not lose any more hair but it was too late. I stopped using WEN that day, I went back to Pantene and olive oil treatments and leave-in conditioners and nothing else. At first, I still had enough hair, most people couldn't tell. I was able to hide the loss. But even though, I had stopped using WEN my hair was still brittle and dry, and every time I combed my hair there was a lot of hair loss. After a while, I just wanted my hair to grow back enough length for me to cut off the strands that were left and start over with the new growth. I had a comb-over hair style for 5 months. Then, just as emotional and with much distress, I had my daughter cut off the dead lifeless hair. I trusted QVC. I didn't think that a product on their network, and continues to be on their network would cause so much pain.

    I have been hiding my hair loss from the world. I was never one to wear hats, I own ten hats now. I went to church in a hat, to meetings in hats, everywhere in hats. I didn't want people to see. I didn't let my husband see my hair, he would try and would stop him. He would say, isn't there something you could do, or what are you going to do about your hair. That only made it worse. I didn't want the questions, I didn't want to deal with it. My daughter, who just turned 18 at the time became my support and my cheerleader.

    After I lost my hair, I still saw the same products being sold on QVC, that to me is horrible. People trust and believe that those products will do no harm and not to warn people or remove them from products sold, makes me cry all over. It's not enough to say, SORRY! There are times when words simply don't cover the distress you experienced.

I stopped using it about 2 months ago and still am losing it in clumps, I have no bangs left and am bringing hair from the sides to cut as bangs... now I am thinning all over my head. My husband is applying brown eye shadow on my widening part just to try to hide the very noticeable bald spots. I am so upset, I have just ordered a wig to wear until hopefully my hair grows back.

    I am now using a product called Pronexa after reading good reviews on it. Its been 2 weeks and I'm still losing a lot of hair... hopefully after a few months I will reverse the damage and regain my hair which used to be so thick. I also got my last haircut in April of 2016 and have noticed my hair just quit growing, after almost a year its still the same length but so much thinner. I hate washing it because the comb out fills sandwich size baggies full of hair every time. I just want to cry.

    I read all these reviews, searching for the truth about the WEN lawsuit. I have used WEN for 10+ years. I LOVE it. I color my hair twice a month. And WEN is the only product that makes my hair soft and manageable. Shampoos, even with conditioners dry my hair out. These reviews - when people say WEN dries their hair out - I know they are lying or not using enough of the product. Because there is no other product that makes the hair more compliant than WEN. And I have friends that use it. I started using WEN when I developed a sensitivity to sulfates. I have recently begun to notice my hair thinning (after 10 years). And I'm nervous - but I still don't believe it's the WEN. I have hashimotos thyroid disease (and have had for 15 years, and take medication). So I think it is from that. The above reviewer that has MS and says MS doesn't cause hair loss - is totally false. MS does cause vitamin deficiencies/absorption issues and hair loss. Absolutely.

    So many of these reviews are false. Because WEN makes your hair silky soft - it does not dry out hair. And if you don't use ENOUGH, as they state - your hair will feel greasy. And one person said he was using the WEN shampoo and conditioner - well there is no WEN shampoo. So that right there is false. If you stop using WEN and continue to experience hair loss - then that right there tells you it's something else besides WEN. Millions of people experience hair loss due to vitamin deficiencies and disease. I would tend to more believe a reviewer that said their hair stopped falling out after they stopped using WEN. And like the WEN people state - if this was all true - then WHAT specifically is the ingredient causing the loss? Most lawsuits are more specific.

    I have used Wen hair care - sweet almond mint exclusively for 2 years and have been very pleased with it and have encouraged others to try it. I read about the hair loss stories and thought they were totally wrong... until recently. I've noticed over the past few months that I was losing so much hair I was constantly having to clean my brush which was unusual for me. I had the Dr check my blood and thyroid and all was normal. I then noticed my hair parting in odd places which I thought was weird.

    Finally my hair began to hurt like when you take a pony tail out or wear your hair in a different style, but I hadn't changed anything! I realized that my hair was also lying funny as my roots weren't actually getting clean. I broke down and washed my hair with regular shampoo and realized the base of my hair no longer hurt so I figure I am onto something!! The ends do feel dry so I am tempted to use it only on the ends but I don't think I want it on my scalp. My hair does seem to get oily faster now and needs to be shampooed more often (I found with Wen, once a week was plenty which made me happy). Less hair is falling out now so I'm hoping it will thicken up again.

    I'm convinced that it was plugging the pores and over time damaged the hair follicles. Sad now to know it will take several years to grow back, assuming it will, but I do have hope. I so wanted this product to continue to work. I've cancelled my subscription as I wasn't using it up as fast as they were shipping it and still have 3 full shipments??? I've already paid for. Feels right to finally say something as there's something not right about using this product. I still think it doesn't strip the oils from your scalp and iced time plugs the follicles causing them to fall out. I have no idea why it took a couple years to notice a dramatic difference. Just hope it all grows back.

Maybe you people did not read the directions that you do not use hot water, you use it with cool water and that is why you lost your hair. READ THE DIRECTIONS!

    My daughter and I began using Wen products in 2013 and hadn't had a problem with the original product (apple cinnamon). I was gifted a Wen Lavender Cleansing Conditioner kit from my mother that included a 32oz bottle of conditioner with the addition of oil and hair mask for my birthday (12/26) 2014. I’ve been growing my hair for the past several years. It’s long and curly, but the strands themselves are relatively thin. My daughter has long, think, ringlet curls. My daughter and I generally wash our hair about once a week. I used the product as directed adding 20-25 pumps to my palm and working it from the front of my scalp to the ends of my hair. My daughter generally only had to use 10-15 to cover all her hair. The lavender had a very medicated smell when opened that I wasn’t very fond of, but I used it anyway.

    The first few times I used it, it made my scalp tingle and get warm and when I’d rinse, it would become very cold, like your first breath after taking in a menthol cough drop, so I decreased the number of pumps to 15 when washing adding water to stretch it and using the majority on my ends. I also used the mask after each wash and used the oil every couple of days in between washing, as recommended. I noticed after 2-3 months that I seemed to be losing more hair than normal. My hair would come out in what seemed like the fist full, but being that my hair was so long, I figured the shedding may be normal. After brushing, there would be countless hairs left in the bristles so I began to brush my hair less. After a few months of use I couldn't get past the medicated tingling. It made my scalp feel soft and would leave a white, greasy film of residue that would sit on my scalp, that would never completely rinse off.

    My daughter got a soft scalp as well along with, dry flaky patches, and a rash at the nape of her neck. No hair loss thankfully but it dried her hair out like it had been chemically fried. We both stopped using it. After discontinuing I noticed the sides of my hair were thinning. The hair loss continued for months but with my hair length you couldn’t really notice. Most of the missing patches came back after 8 plus months but I have a quarter sized spot, a half inch into my hairline, that is hairless, smooth, and shiny. I am forced to style around it to keep it from being seen directly, and honestly, it’s embarrassing. I am a woman who takes pride in my hair and appearance as most woman do, and as of right now, this one spot has not grown hair at all. I have no idea if it will ever grow back and it makes me very unhappy and depressed at times. Wen Lavender should completely be taken off the market.

I used WEN back in February 2014. After all my research and seeing great reviews I placed an order on Amazon and I was excited and couldn't wait to use it. While I was using Wen I did notice my hair was becoming very brittle than usual but never considered it be due to WEN since all the great reviews I had read at the time claimed that it was good for your hair so I contributed it to stress. I brushed it off. I had two orders of WEN sent to my home in 2014 which I of course used for a duration of 6 months. Not only did my hair get brittle it was thinning and soon after the WEN product was empty I started looked for solutions to revive my thin brittle hair.

    I have taken vitamins for hair skin and nails. I have bought extensions and wigs to compensate for my hair becoming so brittle and thin. It has definitely affected me emotionally in my personal daily life. I am very insecure to leave my home in my natural hair. Family and friends have made statements as to how brittle and thin my hair is and it is damaging to my confidence. I never thought to connect the two and now that this has come to light I am relieved to know the reason why my hair is this way and can now let my doctor know so I can get full treatment.

    I started using Wen in 2014. I was thrilled with it because I thought it was all natural and free of animal cruelty. Wen was so different from regular shampoo and it made my hair feel silky and tangle-free. I was so impressed with it, I recommended it to my cosmetologist friends and my mother who is also a cosmetologist. We both have always used top of the line hair products and take care and pride in the health of our hair. I have been noticing an increase in hair fall out in the shower for several years but since some hair fall out is expected, and since I do not like to over react, I thought maybe it was a hormonal imbalance.

    Over the course of the last year, my mother has lost almost all of her hair twice and I am drastically thinning. My mother is currently bald and wearing a wig, and I am struggling with the appearance of my limp, lifeless, and very thin hair. We have both been for testing and bloodwork. Our hair loss is not attributed to a pre-existing condition or hormonal imbalance. Shortly thereafter I received an email stating that there was a Class Action lawsuit against Wen by Chaz Dean due to other women, like me, who have had significant and possibly lasting damage due to the use of the product. This is when I discontinued the use of WEN products.

And especially in the shower. I assumed it was from something else and couldn't be from the products. Since then I have had handfuls fall out every day. I only used the product about every 3-4 days because I could go that long in between washings.

    Starting at the end of November my hair started falling out again - but in massive amounts. In the shower, if I brushed my hair the brush would be full twice, if the wind blew or if I touched my hair it had been falling out like pine needles on a dead Christmas tree. So in the last two-three weeks, my scalp had become raw and sore to the touch. Really bad. And the hair is still falling out in handfuls. I had very long very thick hair that I used no other products except WEN, let my hair air dry because I wash it in the evenings and dry overnight. My hair is so thin now I can barely make a ponytail. And my scalp hurts sooo bad it is painful. And I have never had a tender head/scalp before. If I run my fingers through my hair it is an all day multiples like 40-50 hairs each time are falling out. If I change my clothes I'm covered in dead hair.

    My hair that was so shiny, soft and long is now like dry hay, looks damaged and looks dull. I called WEN yesterday to cancel the subscription because all the calls and voicemails I left for a supervisor or emails I sent through their website have all gone unanswered. When I called yesterday after being on hold for a very long time I told them I wanted to cancel again and when she asked why and I said my hair is falling out now she transferred me to a consumer affairs rep. I told that lady exactly what had been going on for 6 months and at one point I heard her mutter "my head hurts". She told me to stop using all of it immediately. And even though I have 8 unused bottles, 2 unused (pump) deep conditioning bottles and the short flat-ish deep conditioning lotion/paste unused - they refunded the box they sent me in November - that was all. Big whoop.

    Now I can't find an attorney, I'm going bald and I'm ticked off. I should have gone with my gut but after speaking to them that the lawsuit was unfounded and I was safe to use it. And one of the things they said was I had used it for so long without major issues. I was fine. Well guess not. And b/c I have MS which is my nerves are being eaten in my brain and spine by my immune system the attorneys that have sued WEN said I'm not eligible. Even though I asked WEN about it when I originally ordered two years ago if I was safe and that I have MS and if this would be an issue and I was told more than once NO - well now I'm screwed.

    I have had MS for 14+ years. And NEVER - I repeat NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER HAVE HAD HAIR LOSS - I can't be part of this lawsuit and I'm PO'ed. MS doesn't make your hair fall out. It does weird crap to your electrical systems in your body but not your hair. And I was the type of person that never used heat on my head ever. For close to 8 years. And I had such thick hair, a lot of clips, pins, headband or even hats don't fit me because my hair is so thick. Making a ponytail I would break the bands because I had to get it around all the hair. And now I can't even make a ponytail. I'm ticked. Beware. If you are using this and haven't had problems - it's coming. And it's coming big time. I had supported them for two years and got a very small refund on products that now I can not use and will have to throw out. It really makes me mad.

    I should have gone with my gut and not listened to them. Then it won't happen to me thing - well it did and it will if you keep using. It's going to screw up your head and your hair. I just hope I can get it to grow back. When I used different shampoo last night the "renewing Argan oil of Morocco" I washed my hair twice and conditioner twice and the redness went away a little bit and it helped some of the tenderness. I'm still super sore to the touch on the crown of my head. I have pics of one brushing from uestfwy of the hair I lost. And I'm sure if I swiffered my floors it would look like a wig fell apart in my house. There is that much hair. I have seen them come out of my dog's butt because it is on EVERYTHING and EVERYWHERE in my house.

    STOP USING THIS PRODUCT IMMEDIATELY! What I read yesterday said WEN has toxic chemicals in it like lead. And that it is like using lotion on your head and it building up in your hair follicles and can do permanent damage. And it sounds like it can take months/years for it to go sideways and bad like with me. I supported WEN and defended them on social media for at least a year saying I didn't know what people were talking about. My hair is great. Wow I wish I wouldn't have done that. But after so long I figured I was one of the "lucky" ones. Which I should know better.

    STOP USING THIS - wash your hair with a good gentle product. I searched online on what WEN VICTIMS should use to help save your hair. So do that too and wash and condition your hair twice. Btw- my hair felt like straw when I did my first two washings and I used a lot of conditioner and it was a complete mess. I hope my story helps save someone from going through this because it is awful. Pic of me before WEN and the hair loss from one brushing - After shower dried clumps attached.

    I loved this product after I had taken cancer pills for 9 months and hardly lost any hair using WEN. Around the last 6 months noticed hair loss and thinning. I had very thick hair! My thyroid is OK. I bought good shampoo and conditioner from the beauty supply house (including Organics). I have noticed a few times my head would burn using other shampoos. When the class action started about this problem I thought I am not having a problem after using for a long time and these people must have a medical disorder (thyroid etc.). Well, I can see the difference now and have no explanation except it has to be the WEN product. I have made an appointment for a Dermatologist to have my scalp inspected and get treatment for the itchy, burning problem and hopefully by quitting the product regain my hair growth.

    I started using WEN many years ago and suffered tremendously with hair loss and scalp irritation. Back then, WEN had infomercials on TV constantly with celebrities advertising and recommending their product. I was sold on the idea of only using one miracle product for my hair. I thought that if I continued to use the product, my hair too would look amazing like they advertised. I was so wrong and in complete denial at the time. My hair started falling out in clumps and my scalp was red, itchy and bumpy. After discontinuing WEN, I have only had slight improvement in my scalp but the damage was done to my hair. It is extremely thin, brittle and very little short fine hair has grown out in places where I had experienced bald patches.

    It is truly depressing as a woman to experience this as I don't feel as feminine. I am constantly purchasing hair extensions, wigs and hair products to mask the effects of the damage done to my hair. I only recently found out about the Class Action Lawsuit and sad to see that so many other women have gone through the same horrible ordeal that I went through. I urge everyone out there who is using the product to stop immediately and seek a doctor for treatment before it's too late.

    I have heard both sides of this story. My aunt sent me a bottle of WEN and I decided to try it regardless of the bad press. I was hoping to be one of the few that it worked for. I was not. While my hair didn't fall out to the extreme that some of the reviews have stated, I noticed after 6 uses that my hair was falling out more than normal. I do not have any medical conditions nor did I use it wrong. I actually used it 2x per week as recommended and rinsed thoroughly. In fact the process annoyed me initially because it took so long but the pamphlet says to rinse and rinse again so I did. During the 5th rinse I noticed a huge amount of hair in my hands.

    Wanting to be sure it was WEN and not something else, the next time I used it, I brushed my hair thoroughly before getting in the shower. I applied the recommended amount and smoothed it through as per the instructions. As I was smoothing it through, hair was coming out, something that had never happened before. So I rinsed and again a large amount of hair was rinsed out as well. I stopped using it immediately and have not looked back. I checked the website and there were no warnings that I could see and when I phoned their offices the very nice lady just recommended a different scented product. Um no. I understand that it may work for some people but clearly it isn't working for the vast majority. Might be time to change the formulation of this product??

    I just received a notice about the Class Action Lawsuit in the mail against WEN for hair loss and other skin related problems in users and suddenly the lights went on for me. You see, two years ago I went through an episode of hair loss so tremendous that I consulted two doctors about what I should do. It never even dawned on me that my hair loss could be related to the WEN products I had started using a few months prior to hair loss starting. And not a single doctor or hair stylist suspected it either. I was so worried I had my thyroid tested. I started gobbling down biotin and other vitamins to help. Nothing worked. I worried I would soon go bald.

    Instead I quit using the products on my own. After several months of using WEN products I finally decided I wasn't that crazy about them--my hair never felt clean and it made me have too much volume. (Thinning hair but too much volume... bad combination.) When I called to cancel my subscription I had to lie to finally get them to release me from those expensive bi-monthly shipments. (I told them my husband was angry with me for spending so much on beauty products.) Too bad I didn't do it sooner.

    Since that time (one and half years ago) my hair loss has slowed to the normal level and I think my hair has started to fill in, though not to the level it was before using WEN products. Then a few months ago I decided I wanted to use up the WEN moisturizer I still had around. I always liked that product best. Once again I didn't put two and two together. Within days of starting to reuse that product I started losing my hair again. When I stopped, so did the hair loss. Egads, what kind of strong stuff do they have in their products. I will now throw all of it away and not subject another person to potential problems with it. You know that old adage, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is" applies to WEN. The infomercial makes the products sounds like miracle products for the hair. Instead they are a nightmare for the hair. Don't buy and don't use.

But one year after I stopped the use of the product I could not, for could not afford to price, I noticed that my hair was getting thin and tangled, but never did I imagine that it was due to the use of this product, until this week that I receive an email notifying me the hair loss claims due to the use of this product. My hair is all over the place. It is so bad that I cannot run my hand through it. Patches appeared all over my scalp and I ran to the dermatologist. She asked me to stop all the products currently using at that time and stick to the prescribed products only. I have seen more than 4 different dermatologist in USA and even outside of the states, but nothing seem to help; the damage has been done.

    Even when I stopped the use of the product years ago, my hair still falling and the strands are weak. The damages seem to be done deep to the scalp. I researched its ingredients; some of them are linked to hair thinness such as methylene glycol, quarternium-15, diazolidinyl urea. I finally know the product that destroyed my hair. All of it is true. Please stop its use. It may not be too late for you. In my case, I stopped using WEN product way too late, for after years of stopping the use of it, my hair still falling out.

I can't be sure when I first noticed it, but I noticed my hair had lost its body. I always had so much body/thickness that beauticians were always surprised. First lost body then the hair SLOWLY began to thin out. And I mean THIN. It lays on my head w/ no body. I had trouble setting it w/ electric rollers. It did not know how to curl. This was new to me as I was not used to my hair not working. After several years...(my dog died during this time, and I thought it might have affected my hair) but then I realized that this was a HUGE PROBLEM.

    I asked my doctor to help me find an endocrinologist. I just bought ** for Women last week. I have yet to use it. Then I saw a tweet on Twitter that mentioned hair loss related to WEN.

    I am disgusted that people are jumping on the bandwagon saying that this product is harmful and causes hair loss! I purchase my WEN through QVC on Easy Pay. I started using WEN six years ago DUE TO HAIR LOSS! I have Thyroid problems which causes dry, brittle nails and hair. My hair was saved by WEN! I cannot afford WEN all the time, so I use a regular national brand to combat the effects on my budget, but when it seems that my hair is getting bad- dry, brittle and falling out, I go strictly to WEN for a period of 2-3 months and have beautiful hair because of it!

    Maybe these people having problems with their hair falling out need to see a naturalist or holistic doctor who believes in new standards for Thyroid testing (as most regular doctors do not!) and get their thyroid checked by a professional who cares about the whole person and not the drug companies who push their synthetic garbage on uneducated patients who never get better!

She is very healthy and had beautiful hair. She is still beautiful but I do notice how much thinner her hair is. I had noticed handfuls of hair in the shower after I used WEN but attributed it to my age and my stress level. Over the past year my hair has become about half as thick as it was and every time I look in the mirror I think my hairline at my forehead is just pitiful. I've always had long, healthy, wavy hair. My husband would run his hands through it and ask how I had such pretty hair. He hasn't don't that in a year.

    If you try running your hand through it you pull out a wad of dry hair that tangles.

Then I combine small amounts of the Cleansing Creme, anti-frizz styling Creme and the hydrating mask and massage in and leave that in.

I guess it's each person's reaction, just like anything else you may use. Other shampoos never helped my hair. Thank goodness for Wen!

    I having been using Wen products for over two years (2013). When I saw my hair coming out I thought because of not combing everyday. Later I ask my daughter about my hair thinning and she said yes but she saw it in the bathroom. I have lost big globs of hair as I comb my hair. I stop using it now for six months and I'm not losing my hair as much now. I will never use Wen again. It is taking out my hair and I come from a family with thick and long full heads of hair.

    I have been using WEN hair products for roughly 15 years now. I keep my hair very long so I needed a hair product that worked for me. I use the sweet almond hair product. It has been a saving grace for me. My hair is more manageable, soft and surprisingly holds its color while all my friends around me have gone gray long ago. I will never stop using WEN.

But lately about 4 months ago I noticed my hair getting scarce on my head and I was wondering what's going wrong. I never used any other product or other shampoo on my head. I frequently ask myself why is my hair dropping until I did research on the product and saw all the negative reviews about the same problem I'm having and all the different lawsuits.

    I ordered the WEN care for myself and my sister. Instantly my scalp began to itch and within days my scalp was peeling. I'm not talking about flaking, like dandruff, that I have never had by the way. I'm talking huge chunks of skin peeling from my scalp. My husband, normally oblivious to things of that nature, even commented about the huge chunks of my scalp he found in his fingers when touching my hair. I originally thought it had to be a coincidence of some sort since I'd just had my hair done so I stopped using WEN for a week. After that the first time I used WEN again huge chunks of my scalp were peeling off. It was disgusting. After stopping I have never had any problems with my hair, color or scalp. But I spent over 300 dollars on the products cause I believed their bs infomercials. I would NOT buy this product ever.

    I have been using WEN for about three years now. Before I started using WEN, my hair was thick, curly, healthy, and reached the middle of my back. I loved the way WEN cleaned the hair products off my hair, but ever since I began using it, my hair started falling out. At first it was light thinning & the longer I used it, the worse it got until eventually my hair was falling out by the handful every time I washed it. Throughout the last three years, I have gone to at least three doctors for blood work to see if my hair loss was due to a hormonal imbalance or vitamin deficiency, & nothing was wrong. So, thanks to WEN, my hair went from being approximately 20 inches long to about FOUR inches in length. I am now having to wear almost a full head of hair extensions thanks to Wen!

    I too, like so many others, was using Wen hair products in the past and had hair loss to the point of seeing a dermatologist in July of 2014. She gave me a script for **, but I was never able to get it filled due to the cost of it. While using Wen, my hair brush was full every time I brushed it and the shower drain became clogged several times due to my increased hair loss. My hairdresser couldn't believe how thin my hair had become. I never linked my hair loss to the Wen products because I was going through some stress at the time and thought that's what was causing it. I didn't realize until I recently saw other people coming forward with similar stories and seeing the timeline of my own hair loss, that it had to be the Wen hair products.

    I never mentioned using Wen to the dermatologist or anyone else, for that matter because who would have thought that a hair care product that was supposed to be good for your hair, could have caused this. I used the product for probably a month. A few months after stopping the Wen hair care products, my hairdresser noticed a lot of new hair growth. I was lucky. Even though it has taken over 2 years, my hair is thicker now, but not nearly as thick as it was before using Wen. It definitely needs to be pulled from the market! My customer # was **.

    I started using WEN early 2015. After a few months, I noticed my hair falling out more than usual. This continued for months and is still falling out. I stopped using WEN because I felt the build up on my hair was too much and switched back to regular shampoo. Hair continued to fall out. When I got my hair colored, now months after I stopped using WEN, my hairdresser was concerned at the amount of hair that fell out during the washing/brushing process and asked if it was okay to continue. Due to this condition, I had asked if he could get the non-ammonia color which he did so we moved forward. At this point I have no knowledge of the WEN complaints and my hair continues to fall out more than usual.

    When I had my annual physical, I addressed the hair issue and she had extra blood work drawn that all came back negative. Here we are, at least a year and a half from the start of use of the product, and at least a year from stopping the product and the fallout has slowed, but still more than what is usual for me. I am thankful that I had a very, very full head of hair to begin with and the loss has been over the entire head so I do not have bald spots, but I am amazed at the reduction in the size of my ponytail. Overall, I didn't love the product anyway and did not make the connection of the hair loss with WEN until my daughter told me, she read something about it. I will locate the receipt and add it to this post at a later date as requested by the site.

    I started using WEN about five years ago. I got my first bottle from a friend. At that time my hair was very dry due to coloring it blonde. The first two years I used Wen, my hair was no longer brittle, dull and lifeless. Wen transformed my blonde locks to be full of shine, bounce and vibrant. Strangely, as time went on and I kept buying more Wen (The Originals as well as the 613 conditioner), my hair started to slip off my scalp... literally. I didn't use Wen as often as some of these other poor souls on this website. I would wash my hair twice a week usually and only used Wen as a conditioner because I noticed that since my hair was no longer dry, if I washed it with Wen twice (as recommended) in one sitting, my hair would be flat and oily. So my hair loss was gradual.

    Before WEN, I'd lose maybe 2-6 hair strands in the shower but after using WEN for about 2.5 yrs, I'd lose about 15-40 strands per wash. I don't know if they changed the formula but my hair was no longer holding onto my scalp. I used Pomegranate 99% of the time since I learned early on that the Sweet Almond mint gave me a rash and I was scratching my scalp like crazy. I will never use or recommend Wen to anyone. I feel bad about recommending it to so many friends and family. Most stopped using it due to leaving their scalp and hair to oily or having their hair break off. With the Pomegranate and 613, I experienced hair loss. I'm sure I would have experienced more if I used it as often and in large amounts as some of the people on this site.

    SO WHAT DID I DO TO REGROW MY HAIR??? My MD gave me a oil treatment steroid. It didn't have appealing ingredients in there and the smell was very alcoholic. I tossed it in the trash and didn't use it. I did some research on my own and what I decided to do was reach for COCONUT OIL. It soothes any inflammation, redness, rash, etc within minutes of application. I'd use a non-sulfate shampoo called BIOTENE H-24. You can buy it at Sprouts and GNC for $8-$10. I didn't use the conditioner.

    I'd wash my hair in semi warm/cool water. I'd flip my head DOWN and gently wash my hair. I'd then Mix 10-15 drops of pure LAVENDER oil from Mountain Rose Herbs into a gallon of drinking water. I'd shake the bottle and then pour it all over my head and hair like a rinse. I'd pat dry my hair. For some who have inflammation on the scalp, try Coconut oil. I did this in some areas of my scalp and it stopped the pain in about a minute. I did this for five months. It is six months to this date and I finally noticed small hairs coming through... finally... a breakthrough. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!

    I used WEN for about 5 years without any problems at all. My hair was strong, healthy and shiny. I learned early on that you need to rinse your hair out for an extended amount of time in order for it to rinse clean. Once I felt like the product was rinsed out I rinsed again to be sure, otherwise I would get greasy at the roots. I stopped using it about a year before the hair loss stories started hitting the media at the direction of my hair stylist. We noticed that my hair color was washing out, not covering my grey and becoming dingy too soon after coloring. She said that WEN leaves a waxy coating on your hair, so I switched to a product called Unwash.

    It is the same concept of a shampoo and conditioner in one step, it will not lather up like a shampoo and it rinses out much easier than the WEN product. My hair is not as shiny as it was with WEN, but my hair color lasts and let’s face it when you are spending $200 in a day at the salon for a cut and color the color better last.

Said they'll go ahead and cancel but leave it active for two weeks to try the other two to see if it was the fragrance irritating my scalp. If I didn't reordered after two weeks they'd close my membership which they did due to the same problem continuing. So up in the pantry it went and back to Pantene Shampoo. Well I ran out of shampoo and pulled out the WEN from the pantry.

    Again I love how it makes my hair feel, but the next day those dang painful fire ant bite like pimples are back and running a brush through your hair is not happening w/o running those bristles across those pimples. I figured I was allergic because I pretty much have adverse reactions to all medications, anesthesia and aspartame, and household cleaners and perfumes shut my breathing down due to asthma. But never a reaction to soaps including laundry soaps, or shampoos & conditioners. But I noticed after months of not using it and pimple-free, that just after three uses the hair loss in the drain was back again, and those OMG dreadful scalp pimples.

I started using the shampoo March 2016 washing my hair every 3 days. In the beginning my hair appeared to be fuller.

    When I finished reading the safety alert from the FDA and accounts of other consumers complaints of hair loss I came to the conclusion the only change I've made over the last 5 months was using the WEN cleansing conditioner. I have difficulty looking in the mirror at my hair because it is so short and thin. I am devastated and just sick that my hair which was once naturally wavy and manageable, is now thinner and shorter on my right side. My hair in back of my head is a thin stringy mess.

Would never use the product again and I would like to return it for a full refund.

    I don't know what all these people are talking about!! I have been using Wen for at least 5 years & haven't had a problem at all! I've taken very good care of my hair my entire life and this product has only helped! I use it differently than most people, but it is amazing and my hair is beautiful! People are always asking me what I use and lately when I tell them I use Wen, they have been telling me about all the bad publicity. I seriously don't understand. I only use Wen once a week, unless I am noticing a really bad "other" product buildup, then I use it twice a week. I wash with my regular shampoo first and then use the Wen. I also use the styling creme every day. My daughters also use Wen, because I've given it to them. They haven't had a problem either. So, I'm hoping my review will help!

    I have had thick hair for all my life. About three years ago I started using WEN. After about a year I stopped and noticed that my hair was no longer soft. Hair stylists had often commented on how soft my hair was, so I went back to WEN I purchase at a retail store. I NEVER subscribe to products. The WEN once again made my hair soft for the last two years. I do not lose any more hair than I ever did. Three days ago at the dermatologist, he was checking my scalp and said, "Wow what a head of hair, I am half your age (75) and have half the hair." There are many reasons people lose hair but WEN certainly hasn't affected mine.

    I started using Wen about a year or so ago. Maybe a little longer. At first, I loved it, the smell, thought I was feeling a difference. I had the autoship so because I didn't use it everyday I had to cancel the autoship with so many bottles sitting around. Anyway, shortly after I started using Wen, I started to develop a rash behind my neck. Constantly itchy, flaky, inflamed skin. Then, I started to develop a rash all over my scalp. Flaky, super itchy and noticed my hair wasn't as thick as it used to be. I can see the difference in my front hairline, where more skin is seen than hair. And I always had THICK hair! My hair also feels extremely thin now as if I have lost a lot of it. I grew up with very thick, curly hair and never had this problem.

    I stopped using the products and the rash on the back of my neck slowly started to get better, but I am still dealing with the loss of my hair. I never pinpointed it on the product until I realized that when I stopped using it I felt a bit of relief. So very dissatisfied with this product and I am thankful I never let my daughter use this stuff more than once. (And that was because she ran out of her products.)

    Last year, a neighbor gave me a bottle of Wen shampoo. I'd always been skeptical of using a product promoted by a cosmetologist who constantly wears a hat. I'm a trained cosmetologist, so I read the ingredients before using it. They seemed innocuous enough, even though I thought it a bit gimmicky... Non lathering didn't bother me. I questioned the cleansing and conditioning in one step. I exercise daily which culminates in a shower and hair washing. I used Wen for a few weeks, then returned to using my usual shampoo. I diluted the Wen and continued to use it as a rinse. I do this with all my conditioners. It's easier to comb detangle my long hair in the shower with the conditioner still in, then quick rinse.

    I was planning a cross country move at about that time and attributed the excessive hair loss to the stress or delayed post menopause hair loss. The hair loss continued even after I settled into my new home. When I heard about this current lawsuit, I immediately tossed the Wen out and resumed using my old shampoo (Suave). To my amazement, my hair loss has subsided. I still lose some hair. I know that is normal, especially because of the length. My advice. Save your money. Don't believe the hype offered by "actors/actresses". A paid advertisement is just that!

    I purchased Wen products mid last year of 2015. I tried it and my hair was dull and lack-luster. I thought maybe I used too much or too little, so I continued to use Wen. I felt tingling as I used the full line of care products and thought it was because of the mint. After a few uses I noticed my hair was thinning and breaking. I was coming out in large gobs; it would be in the shower; on the floor in the bathroom when I styled my hair and on my pillow.

    I thought maybe my body was low on vitamins and had it by my primary physician, and my vitamin levels checked out fine. That is when I realized Wen was the only change in my habits and it was causing my hair to fall out at a rapid rate. Since I stopped using Wen, my hair stopped breaking so much. However, I think permanent damage has been cause, because my one thick, shiny, healthy hair; continues to be dull and doesn't grow as it once had. I would never recommend this to anyone and will never purchase again.

I called the company asking if it could be possible it's happening from the shampoo & was assured there's no way it's because of WEN. I did keep using it after because I figured if there was a problem they would have maybe said "it's a rare side effect. Stop using it & check with your doctor." I have questioned my dr a couple of times & was told to get a MRI. I was frightened thinking maybe I had a brain tumor or something Because I had bald spots.

    My hair was always thick but now it's thin & frail. I don't wanna do anything. It's depressing to walk around with bald spots on your head especially for a woman.

I thought it was because my hair is color processed but it also happened to my oldest daughter and youngest daughter as well. I don't think you can use this product if your hair is chemically processed and there is something in it like a straightener or maybe like green tea that stimulates the scalp but causes a lot of itching and eventually hair loss.

I receive the new order of "WEN" and immediately start using it - and my hair has never been the same again. Thinning in various areas, I had to be seen by a dermatologist thinking that my scalp was just dry and causing breakage.

    I've been using WEN for several years. It's always been more as an actual conditioner than a "no poo" product. i.e. I shampoo first with a moisturizing shampoo and follow-up with WEN. I shampoo/condition every 2-3 days. Originally, I was very happy with the products. My hair is fine but there's a lot of it - a contradiction that made many products work poorly. Fine hair products didn't clean well enough, regular products left my hair limp. WEN's cleansing conditioner used as a conditioner, however, worked well.

    For the past six months, my hair's been thinning. Full-length hairs - from root to tip - are everywhere in my home. When I started finding hairs in the freezer, my cat's food dish and on the stove; I started Googling. At that time, what I mainly found were claims that the lawsuit had been filed by money hungry, publicity wanting... Now I clean up handfuls of hair daily. Rogaine is bringing some back along my hairline, but I just recently stopped using WEN completely. If the hair loss stops, if my hair grows back - those things remain to be seen. It sickens me that the FDA doesn't regulate beauty products in any meaningful, realistic way. Some online beauty sites say WEN changed its formulas without making that public. Will the public ever know the truth?

    After watching the WEN promotion on QVC many, many times, I FINALLY broke down and decided to spend hard earned money on this expensive product. Knowing that the models used in the promo showed a diversity of both younger and older women and also women of color, I assumed that the product would be good for all ages and types of hair. I started out buying one of the special seasonal sets where you get four different types of the shampoo/conditioner. I couldn't wait to get the WEN and begin trying it.

    Finally the package arrived and the next morning I began using it. I had read the instructions and had watched the demonstration by Chaz Dean on QVC numerous times. My first impression of the product was that it smelled great. The texture of the cream was also nice. I had wondered if it would be like other conditioners, really thin and runny. This was thick and easy to apply to my hair. I always comb my hair before going into the shower so it is not tangled. After using the product my hair was easy to comb through but not any more so than with other conditioners I had used. My hair appeared shiny and I was happy with the way it looked.

    I continued to use WEN and began noticing that my hair was falling out. First I would comb through it before showering as I always had and there would be a lot of hair in the comb at that time. Then I would have to remove a big clump of hair from the shower after that and then as I combed my hair out while wet there was even more hair. I actually could run my hand through my hair and the hair would just fall out. These were not broken strands, they came out from the root. Styling would result in more hair falling out. EVERY time that I combed my hair, even throughout the day there was always hair falling out. These were not small amounts of hair. I began noticing hair on my pillow, the couch, and strands on my clothes.

    Even at this point I was still optimistic and thought that there might be a period of adjustment to the new product. I was not experiencing any scalp itching or sores and I am positive it would not have been an "allergic reaction." I was not taking any medications, I do not smoke or drink caffeine. I also had just had blood tests done and my thyroid checked so I know it had nothing to do with any of those factors. The only difference was that I had been using the WEN. I did continue to order more WEN thinking that it just might have been something in those certain scents. I also had ordered the large bottle of the 316 and the Peach and Lavender. None of the other products produce any different results. The one and only SAME result was that I was continuing to lose large amounts of hair.

    After spending hundreds of dollars on the products and using them as directed I feel very upset that I ever tried WEN. I certainly NEVER would recommend it to anyone else. In fact, I have had several people tell me to quit using it also. I have always had nice hair. In fact I would actually have strangers comment on my hair, how nice it was. Now I have lost what I feel to be at least half of the volume of my hair. This product did NOT make my hair richer, thicker or stronger. Chaz Dean states the "using shampoo is abuse to your hair " in his commercials. The actual ABUSE to my hair was using WEN.

    I have stopped using WEN and my hair is still continuing to fall out. Mornings have been spent crying in front of the mirror and now I also have anxiety about when the hair loss will stop, if at all! I used nothing but the WEN for 7 months and I am afraid of what type of shampoo to try now in case this gets worse. To some women their hair can be their "signature." It is extremely frustrating that this product is still being sold and also shame on QVC for continuing to sell this. I think that Chaz Dean was not being malicious when the product first was being sold, but now that thousands of people have purchased it and he has become rich, he should "cut his losses" so to speak with this, figure out why SO many hundreds of people have had the same unsatisfying result, and if he really cares about hair take this product away and just continue to make his money by charging people $300.00 or more for a haircut!!

    I first started using WEN largely because my hair was thinning and had thinned to the point where I was thinking of trying Rogaine. I had always used shampoo, including quite expensive ones at $40 or more from my hair salon, but after I found out that lauryl sulfates and other detergents, which are basically what most shampoos are, are capable of stripping out the color that was costing hundreds of dollars to maintain, as well as damaging my hair at the root, I stopped using them and switched to WEN. I have been using WEN exclusively for more than 5 years. I am 57, and would not go back to regular shampoos. My hair became fuller, my bald spot is gone, and my hair definitely does not look like it did, which was sad and old before its time.

    My suggestion to those who have trouble with WEN is, be sure you are not using too much product, don't use the full amount they suggest, for example, it's way more than you need. Be sure you wash it out completely. Don't combine WEN with other, non-WEN products; you can very easily create an allergy where there was none. Another thing to keep in mind is that the products you were using are much, much more damaging due to the chemicals in them. However, if you have an adverse reaction, and the rest of your physical health is perfect/good because of your diet, no smoking, etc., you have probably used too much product inadvertently around the roots/scalp and have an allergic reaction.

    Another thing a competent lawyer will deconstruct in a few minutes are all the variables in lifestyle that combine to create something like hair loss, particularly in older women. Noticeable thinning occurs in 50% or more of women past a certain age (even as early as puberty) and it's far more likely that what you're seeing is the result of normal aging hair loss, sadly, combined with toxic chemicals you're ingesting in one form or another.

    Hair loss, irritated scalp, THINNING of hair. While I was trying their product OUT, I notice in time as I was using the product I was having scalp irritation. I thought I had lice!! No, never did - it was the WEN hair products I used. I only used WEN products, the whole time I used WEN. I quit their product, my hair growing back. I know for sure it was WEN. After I quit using 6 months later I got new hair growth. No more scalp itching me. My hair feeling so much more healthy!!! There needs to be warning labels on this product.

    Don't buy this product. Bought it from QVC in 2014 during the holidays. After 4 months of using it, I noticed more hair than normal in my comb. I stopped using it after the 4th bottle due to itchy scalp, scalp soreness, hair thinning, and more hair in my comb. So much for all natural.

    I think I have been using these products for about 4 to 5 years. I thought I never had any issues until around Memorial Day weekend 2016. During our vacation weekend, it was really nice and sunny and I thought I burnt my scalp out on our boat. Then it became very itchy towards the front of my head. The burning and itchy feeling have not gone away yet it 6/7/16. I have been in Florida in the hot sun before and burnt my scalp and it goes away pretty fast, it just a different itchy burning feeling.

    Today after washing my hair with WEN as I have in the past, the itchy burning feeling was still there. I also leave it in my hair and don't wash it out. I have very thick and curly hair and the product was great til now. I knew about the claims of losing hair and the lawsuit, so I decided like the others to research it. Some of these women have horror stories, and I read about the itchy creepy feeling people had on their heads, it was describing me.

    As far as hair loss goes, I have lost hair around the top crown part of my head that I had noticed a while ago and thought it was just my age 54 and I do have lots of hair in my brush but thank god not clumps. Now that I developed this itchy burning feeling and read these reviews I will STOP USING THIS PRODUCT. I hope my hair doesn't thin anymore in that area or start in a different area. Going to have to find a different shampoo and conditioner... I really did like the product, but do think it is started to affect me more than I realized.

    2 years ago I ordered my first bottle of WEN. I used the product as directed and the first time was luxurious. My hair was beautiful. The second time, my hair was a little heavier and didn't seem to rinse out as well. The third time my hair started to fall out as I would run my fingers through it. Not one or two strands of hair like usual, but 30 or 40 strands. My hair looked flat and I stopped using the product. My hair loss continued. I went to my doctor who did blood tests and a hormone check. All tests were normal but my hair continued to fall out by the handfuls until my ponytail was so thin I had to wrap it 5 times.

    It took 6 months for my hair to stop falling out. I'm fortunate in that I have had no residual problems since. It seems like a large percentage of customers have this response. I wish WEN would do the research and find out why. I was so depressed. My hair is one of my identifying factors and I was devastated. I am so grateful to God that it grew back I have noticed from the reviews not everyone has been as fortunate.

    Used Wen for almost a year and started to notice scalp itching and then soreness and then a lot of hair falling out more than normal. My hair was everywhere on the floor and throughout my apartment and on my counters. Normally I have very long, thick hair and it was so thinned out by the time I stopped using product and happened to google my symptoms and found same complaints about Wen. I then called and canceled Wen and reported to them.

    I have been trying everything to get rid of this problem, but may have to go to dermatologist. I don't have health insurance so I was trying every kind of special shampoo to get rid of it including Nizoral shampoo which is $14.99 for 7 oz. So far its the only thing that somewhat soothes my sore scalp and has slowed down my hair from falling out as much but it's still there after almost a year of trying different over the counter medicines. I wish I never used Wen. I hate this sore, itchy scalp condition it caused and the hair loss, but thankful that Nizoral shampoo has helped and with prayer to slow down my hair loss. Would never buy product again. Have used so much money trying to get rid of dermatitis on scalp.

    My mother, a dissatisfied former Wen user, sent me unopened containers of the Lemon Rosemary Vanilla Bean Ultra Nourishing Cleansing Treatment, Pomegranate Cleansing Conditioner, and Sweet Almond Mint Anti-Frizz Styling Creme - with the warning it made her hair fall out, and to "stop using it if you notice any hair loss". So I tried it, and I experienced a drastic hair loss immediately in the shower with both products upon the first use! I'm not talking about just a little clump of hair - I'm talking GOBS of hair - that actually clogged the shower drain. After showering, I noticed my hair was easier than usual to detangle, but that a significant amount of hair was coming out of my scalp without any resistance from the combing (I always use wide-tooth comb).

    Still, I decided to use the styling creme. I admit, my hair didn't look too bad after styling - but my hair has continued to fall out in clumps while shampooing, conditioning, and styling. Also, my head and scalp itched for hours after using. Even after using other hair care products since, my hair still looks frizzier and thinner than normal. I know this is not all a "coincidence". I told my mother, "Thanks for the warning. I threw the products into the trash", which I did. I really wanted these products to work, but there seems to be something caustic in the formulas causing serious hair damage and loss, and scalp irritation.

    I started using WEN in the winter of YR 2013, and noticed in the spring of YR 2014 a small bald spot - about the size of a dime. Didn't think too much of it. I also notice my hair seemed thinner (as I have fine, thin hair to begin with) but attributed that to the smoothness that I got from using the WEN products. By summer/fall of YR 2015, my bald spot starting getting a little bigger (about the same time I switched WEN fragrances to Pomegranate).

    At the first of the year 2016, I made an appointment with my dermatologist to find out what was causing this. They first suspected alopecia areata and gave me two rounds of steroid injections to see if the hair would grow back - nothing. In March (2016), the dermatologist did a biopsy and it came back inconclusive, so they took two more biopsies. The last two biopsies ruled out alopecia areata and scarring alopecia. The dermatologist is stumped - until I told her I was using WEN (I stopped using WEN in February of this year (2016)). She is currently doing some more research. All I want is my hair to grow back and my bald spot be gone. Does anyone have any recommendations? I called WEN and of course their statement is WEN does not cause this. I'm an extremely healthy person, no allergies, exercise, eat healthy, no health problems, no hair loss heredity problems...HELP!

I had been wanting to check out Wen's conditioner (all-natural) for a while so I decided to take advantage. However, I quickly learned that when you agree to the reduced price, they also sign you up for a recurring shipment. Additionally, the price is not actually reduced at all; in fact it is only split up over 3 payments. As soon as I saw the second charge on my credit card, I immediately called (you need to call) to cancel my account. However, they still said there was a pending charge for $89.95. This was in addition to the amount of $44.95 that they had already charged to my account.

    My intention in writing was to complain about the packaging of the product. Not until I read all the complaints about other customers losing hair, etc., was I aware of this or aware of the fact that there is a lawsuit against the company. I have been using WEN Cleansing Conditioner for over four years. None of the other products, just the cleansing product. I am 75 years old and have short, thick, wavy coarse hair that is chemically colored about every 8-10 weeks. I don't wash my hair everyday, because it isn't necessary. Use an old lady shower cap for my daily shower. So I saw the WEN claim of not using the product everyday, that seemed perfect for me. I normally go 3-4 days between "shampooing my hair".

    I also do not use the recommended amount listed on the bottle and promoted in the t.v. ads. It is just way too much product to use and I always figured it was just their way of getting you to use more and then buy more. With short hair and using the amount of product that works for me, a bottle will last me 5-6 months, which is the only reason I pay their outrageous price! Bottom line, my hair is still very thick and wavy and short and I have none of the other side effects that have been mentioned in the other reviews. My original annoyance with the product is that there is still tons of product left in the bottle (which you cannot see through!) and the pump no longer pumps it out because the "straw" part of the pump doesn't come anywhere near the bottom of the container.

    But now I guess I have to re-think this whole thing, because it seems that more people are harmed by the product instead of being helped with it. I can get the remaining cleanser out of the bottle, but these other people have lost their hair and suffered pain and humiliation and have received no satisfaction from the company. It would appear that I am an exception, but that doesn't mean that I have to continue to support this company and its products.

    I was using Wen Shampoo for about five months. It was okay. I never really felt like my hair was clean and fluffy but my hair is colored blonde so it made it easy to comb out and I didn't need extra conditioner after shampooing. So I hung in using it. I don't think it ever made my hair any better. Then all of sudden I noticed what is going on with my hair? I did not see it falling out or more hair in my brush. But my hair that use to be 12 inches long, is now breaking off on the top of my head to about 3 inches long. All my ends were breaking off and dried out to straw.

    Then I got a really bad rash all the way down my back. I thought maybe I changed detergent. Luckily I was talking to someone about the Wen shampoo and she said that is the problem. It causes hair loss and breakage. I looked it up on the internet and it said this shampoo builds up on the scalp and hair ends never really washing off making the hair heavy and break. The scalp coated not letting it breath causing hair loss. My hair is now cut short which I hate. And my rash has not gone away for two months. In one article it states two of the ingredients used in Wen is outlawed in England and affects the immune system. I hope this does not lead to future skin problems. You never know.

    Hi, I am writing a review to WARN anyone against the use of WEN by Chaz Dean! I used the products back in the summer of 2015 at the end of June and beginning of July and I only used the stuff twice. I bought the products after hearing great reviews from 2 people. I am an African-American woman and if anyone knows our hair they would know that it's very curly when it's in its natural state and that it takes months of consistent good moisture products to get our hair to grow out to long lengths. So I say that to say that in my particular case I had grown my hair out in its natural state back in 2010 where I cut all the perm off of my ends and my hair was just above my shoulders fast forward to the summer of 2015 my hair was bra strap length and very thick as it has always been even when I use to have a relaxer.

    This product took it out in 2 uses, 2 uses. How dare you say it's for all hair types, how dare you say it's all natural, how dare you LIE to us... I'm sitting here almost in tears as I write this. My hair immediately started to change. I noticed stringiness, dryness, and just all over thinning to my ends. I co-washed, and it said to rinse out thoroughly and then it says you can leave the product in as a leave in conditioner. That's how gentle he made it seem... these were instructions on the bottle.

    Well I used it as instructed and hair loss is what it got me. I went to my hairstylist in August thinking maybe I just needed a trim... but it just continued to be thin and eventually I had to cut my hair off to above my shoulders... My hair has totally changed... that was the one thing I always got commented on was how beautiful my hair was... how long and thick it was. Now it is so thin it feels as if I only have about 10 strands of hair. I'm so disappointed and wanting to share because it's not for all hair types as it claims. I feel like I look so different without the hair I used to have. It's hard for me to do any styles to my hair.. it has truly changed my life. I ordered it from qvc and when I noticed the hair loss then that's when I looked up the reviews and then returned the product to qvc.

    I received a box full of Wen products as a Christmas present from my husband. I also received a bill for three more payments of around 40 bucks. Though I did not know what special pricing he received or the payment option he was offered but there was no way I was paying 160 bucks for hair products. In fairness to the company he was allowed to stop the future payments. I have been using the Wen hair care products since Dec., about 3 months now. I have natural curly waist length hair and with the curls also comes dryness and frizz. I have notice that my hair gets greasy, something it never did before, and just today I notice that I have dandruff and in 54 years I have never had dandruff.

    It is tough to say whether or not I have suffered any hair loss from using the product but after reading all the hair loss statements I will stop using any hair care products made by Wen. I also notice some itching after using Wen the first couple of times but chalked it up to normal winter heating. I was skeptical at best but my husband can't seem to get passed the idea if it sounds to good to be true that chances are it is and with my hair type there is no wonder shampoo. But I at least had to give it a try for his sake.

    It didn't perform like it says it does. First time it worked great. After that my hair went back to the thick unruly lion's mane and has been that way ever since. My scalp and the top half of my hair looks greasy and flat after I wash it and the bottom is a mass of frizz and curls. I don't use any of the styling sprays that was sent with the shipment, only the cleansing conditioner and the regular conditioner which I do rinse out after shampooing. I am not happy with the results and can get the same result by using a cheap chain store shampoo. Way overpriced for the job that it promises to do and does not.

    I have been a Wen user for the past 4 years. I totally loved the product and swore to everyone this was the best hair product on the planet, truly a "Wen Girl". I have threw out all my hair products and exclusively use Wen. My current shampoo is Lavender, Mango Coconut and Almond. It took some getting used to not having the "suds" but was well worth it with the results. My hair normally on the dry and brittle side suddenly made my hair soft, shiny, and less brittle, very happy. However, for the past 8 months my hair started to become very thin, dry and brittle thinking it was just a sign of stress. Also my head started to become very itchy to a point where now I have these scabs and bumps on my scalp.

    I could not understand what was happening. I thought it was a form of psoriasis. I started taking vitamins for my thinning hair and putting essential oils on my scalp to try and stop the itching while it burns so bad. My hairdresser came to see me the other day knowing I used Wen and had this situation. I was jaw-dropping SHOCKED to find that Wen has a lawsuit against them for complaints of thinning hair! I could not believe it. It was just today that I actually had the courage to search and find that these rumors are true. I am reading these heartbreaking reviews to realize that I am one of these statistics. Now I am back to where I was but now only worse 4 years later. This violation of trust for so long. Thank you Chaz Dean. After your first 100 common complaints maybe you should have had the humility and loyalty to your customers to recall this product and find the solution. I would like to also join in this lawsuit. Shocked and disappointed.

    Im very concerned now that I have read some of these reviews. I have been using WEN for a couple of years now and in the past two months I too have been having my scalp itch and break out. I wasn't sure what this is but now I'm starting to figure it is from the cleansing lotion. I will be canceling my subscription also on this line that I have been getting every few months.

    Most of my hair is gone from Wen!! This is what WEN did to me after using it only three times!! NOBODY will help me, against this. All I get is the run around from all the lawyers I've called dealing with this lawsuit! I have doctors notes saying it was from that!! One of the lawyers even ask me if I ever smoked!! WTH, I don't know what else to do. If somebody can help me I would really appreciate it!

    Started using product about 7-8 months ago. I wash my hair daily following their instructions to the letter. Day one my hair looked great. It gradually started to look like a greasy mess. Contacted the company - I increased the amount of shampoo I was using as they advised and only used cold water as advised. This did seem to help but only a bit. After contacting them to cancel my account, they encouraged me to try another type that might work better on my fine straight hair. When the new product arrived I began to use it. My hair looked nice at first but then I began to notice that it looked really, really thin (see through to my scalp thin!).

    I thought maybe it was just weighed down since it also looked greasy again despite daily washes and correct usage. This hair loss continued to worsen until I finally went to see a dermatologist. He advised me to stop using their products as they are known to cause hair loss (and that there are several pending actions against Wen - didn't ask where). Note: I have a friend with extremely thick coarse curly hair who uses the product and has no complaints. But then she had 8X as much hair as I did to begin with. I've been using a sulfate free clarifying shampoo and have cancelled my account. I hope my hair begins to grow back.

    I have been a WEN customer since 2009 and liked the product very much for the first couple years then I noticed more and more hair coming out when I washed. I never thought much of it since I do have a thyroid problem and thought that was the cause of it, so I continued to use the WEN and tried different scents. I was using the lavender and the pomegranate.

    Then in November 2015 after I received my new shipment I noticed so much hair coming out it was crazy. I was starting to see my scalp and my hairline was receding as well. I have thin hair to begin with so this was very upsetting to me. I didn't even know about the lawsuit at that time. I just stopped using the product and switched to a sulfate-free shampoo from Ulta Salon for about a month. I noticed hardly any hair was coming out when I washed with this new shampoo.

    That is when I found out about all these other woman having issues with WEN. I just wanted to make sure it was WEN that was making my hair come out, so I used it one more time and sure enough a large amount of hair was in the shower. I just canceled my order and hopefully I do not get billed anymore or I will dispute those charges. I don't know what happened to this product but it is awful. Do not use it anymore. Now I am stuck with all this product I can no longer use. What a waste.

    I was using WEN hair products and I started losing my hair. It started about a month ago. I would lose a few strands of hair and then about a week later it got worse. Then I noticed I was losing more and more and I noticed the shower getting clogged with my hair. I was in tears. That was when I called WEN and I got a real live person on the phone. Her name was Sue and she told me to call her back with the lot #s on the bottom of the bottle. She gave me a reference # ** so, I got the lot numbers but when I called back I could not get a live person to take my calls. I am so upset that I don't what to do. That is why am writing this letter.

    I purchased a sample product to include Ultra Nourishing Cleansing Treatment, Anti-Frizz Creme, Straightening Smoothing Gloss & Replenishing Treatment Mist all for $39.95 plus tax. The total came to $45.95. This was in Oct. 2015. They over-charged me, sent me a following month supply without my knowledge and charged an additional fee which totaled $103.95! It took me three tries before I could get someone to reverse the charge, and then I only received $49.99. I used the product as directed. There has not been a change and every time I wash there have been clumps of hair in my comb! I thought it was me, but with this lawsuit against them, it was them. I have stopped using it and have gone to Suave.

    I finally tried Wen again. Wow, was I still wrong and scared all over again. I got the starter kit offered on TV and I used it twice. Each time I had clumps of hair falling out in my shower, all over my comb and brush, hair was dry, frizzy and hard. I had so much hair falling out that I got scared and started crying. I followed all the steps and instructions in the order exactly as instructed.

    My head and scalp started to itch, has red bumps on forehead, my hair was frizzy, dull and I had a hard time combing it with a wide comb (like I always do), did the treatment in for 30 minutes, rinsed it all out, put on the anti-frizz and even used the mousse in the kit. My hair was so bad and still falling out on floor, when hair dried, my husband noticed and said "what's going on with your hair and why are there huge clumps of hair in the shower? Why are you shedding so bad and what are the red bumps? Your hair is like straw, frizzy and ratty, very different from before! You ok?" I am very picky when it comes to my hair and only used Pureology or Alterna, high end products without sulfate and never had problems before.

    I called to cancel my auto ship and the girl was asking me all types of question like it was my fault. I told her I did not change anything except switching to Wen, now my hair is falling out in clumps and have itching rashes. It was so bad that I had to rewashed my hair with my Pureology and I had no hair falling out plus it soothe my itching a little bit. It was frustrating to be made felt I did something wrong. I also told the lady (Blanchard?) with Wen that this happened to me before when I used WEN, she said she has never heard of my problems and she wasn't going to put I had problems with using WEN before because it would confuse him.

    She made me felt like I was complaining for nothing so I decided to do my research and came across this site. I took pictures of the clump of hair in case WEN thinks I'm making it up. Told her to cancel my auto ship and I hope they did. I am very healthy, have not had any problems with any allergies and even had a clean bill of health from doctor before using WEN. What is going on and why do they make me feel like it's my fault? Very upset with hair loss and everything! These pics are nothing compared to the others of my clump of hair. :( order #**. Customer #**. What do I do? Frustrated!
