I've used WEN and SIXTHIRTEEN on and off for several years. I'm in an 'on' phase right now. I felt it was one of only a few shampoos/conditioners that improved the condition of my long hair. However over the last 6 months I began to notice that I was beginning to lose more hair in the brush, down the drain, on the bathroom floor than usual. I found it genuinely concerning. My scalp was also becoming itchy. I never directly correlated my hair loss or itchy scalp to WEN, and so just recently ordered a new bottle from an online retailer. It arrived earlier this week on exactly the same day I saw the report of a class action on the nightly news. This was the very first I had ever heard of complaints about this brand and I don't live under a rock. It was shocking.
In any event, I returned the bottle the very next day and tossed out all of my WEN products. I'll find another product to use--there are so many out there so it won't be difficult. Look, if other women are experiencing problems significant enough to warrant litigation, that's all I need to know. I'm not an odds player and it sounds to me as if it's only a matter of time before this product is bye-bye.

I have been going crazy trying to find out why I am losing my hair for the past year. I went to my doctor and they gave my Premarin and I have been taking Biotin and now I see that it is all connected to my use of WEN hair products. I cancelled my account today and now am trying to find out how to get in the class action lawsuit. Can anyone help me??? Attached are before and after pictures.

I was a really happy person to find WEN about 2007 with a small purchase of cleansing conditioner product in the lavender. I was a hair dresser at the time and wanted MORE volume and all that was promised - professionally colored, which did not really hang on as the ends were always lighter. I then bought a gallon from QVC and never had one issue also using the treatment spray which revived the curls beautifully.
Then the next gallon thru QVC, the something different was going on. It delivered the same results at first. Then something happened with this burning/cold sensation as it felt refreshing. But after a few more, that feeling was uncomfortable and concerning. Then the itching on top started and areas where the scalp was sore and left a few sore. I took a break for a month or so then returned to WEN. The itching was unbearable with severe flaking, that I was picking the flakes off the front hairline, noticing I had dandruff through the top where the itching was. I had a build-up on the scalp. I then stopped WEN and used a clarifying shampoo which did rid the scaling, but my hair isn't as manageable as WEN. My hair loss has been massive as I save it with a drain strainer.
The hair started to fall out during the shampooing, running my fingers thru the product in the shower. I kept it to show the doc and he was mortified with no explanation.. My other doc recommended biotin zinc after stopping the use of the product. I am going back to my older shampoos when my hair was full and beautiful. I do miss Wen for the ease of styling, shorter drying time and the look and feel of my hair.

Like a lot of others - I tried this product because it was suppose to be great for my hair. As I was using it my hair was falling out. I called the customer information line and they asked if I was using the product correctly. I answered yes and so they asked if I was using the conditioner. Once again yes. So their next response "Don't wash your hair as often". I discontinued the use of this product and cancelled my subscription. Telling a person not to wash their hair should not be the answer.

I thought this would be a great product and it isn't!!! My hair fell out in clumps and I have several bald spots and my part is wider. This is devastating!!! I cancelled my membership and they kept sending it to me. I have several bottles sitting around. I gave some away to others and they didn't like it either. They have sent me a bill saying I still owe them 19.00. I want this crap taken off the market. I am a very dissatisfied customer with thin hair!

I have been using Wen for over 4 years. Have not had any problems. Even had my daughter use and no problems. Have tried reading reviews and hoping it is all on individuals and their personal allergic reactions. I only use every 3 days, only have used cleansing conditioner 613 and fig. Tried summer peach, didn't care for how thin the product felt in comparison to 613 and fig. I lose normal amount of hair. Never a huge amount as I keep a hair hat to catch all hair from going down drain. Only time large amounts come out when longer time between washes and it's extremely tangled and still never lost LARGE amounts. Still get compliments on thickness. Again though I only use the one product. No sprays or cremes. Just the main cleanser.
Also I never comb my hair out of the shower. I use curl enhancers non Wen brand and only run finger thru and scrunch. Again I have ordered some time ago. Hoping the product hasn't changed since seeing some womens reviews it's not the same as when they first started using. Daughter doesn't use because her dad won't spend but she claims no problems. I have called Wen my only cleansing agent for some time. Hope it continues to work well with no problems for me. Never been thicker or healthier still and I have been monitoring. Hope people are aware every few years one can develop new allergies... hoping these reviews are based on allergies... I have run out of Wen and tried shampoo again, yes Pantene and still feels like shampoo dries it out worse... ugh so torn.

I have used this shampoo for at least two years. It didn't occur to me that it was the shampoo that was making my hair fall out until yesterday. I have even gone to the dermatologist but he could not find anything wrong with me for my hair to be falling out. My hair falls out in clumps. I am very thin on top of my head. I will no longer use this shampoo. I cannot believe that I never thought the shampoo was doing it. I hope and pray my hair will stop falling out. Your shampoo is expensive plus the hair that was on my head that is gone was worth a lot of money too. What are you going to do about this?

I received the product as a gift and I was very excited to try due to the wonderful commercials I've seen. A few weeks ago I noticed my brush became full of hair as well as my hands when finger combing the product through my hair in the shower. I had no idea why this was happening and my last thought was the product. A few days ago I woke up and rubbed my head as my scalp had also begun to itch and I was shocked to find a large amount of hair in my hand. I expressed my concerns to a friend and was told that I was not the only one to have these frightening results. I was so frightened that my hair loss could be permanent and have sworn off this dangerous and damaging crap for sure.

My daughter and I started using WEN products this past spring. At first I loved what it did for my hair. I noticed after a month or so that we both were losing quite a bit of hair in the shower, especially while running it through our hair. I didn't connect it to the products at first. After a while, my daughter started complaining about burning and flaking on her scalp and was convinced it was because of the Wen. I told her that I would never buy anything that would harm her and had researched the products. She refused to use it anymore and after a few months, she still has discomfort but the burning and flaking has ended. Myself, on the other hand, continued using, thinking that my hair loss was natural at my age.
Towards the end of the summer, I gradually noticed a significant change in volume and realized that I had lost probably 1/3 of my hair since the spring. I stopped using the products and even though my hair is slowly recovering I still have major hair loss to the point that I have resorted to wearing it up to disguise the loss. I am considering having my all hair (all one length to mid back) cut short with layers in an attempt to bolster the volume. I had no idea other people have had this issue and am actually relieved to know there is a cause. I'm very disappointed, having done the research and my due diligence... Or so I thought.

I have been using the Wen product for 6 years or more. Always thought it to be a great product. It changed my hair from being split and unmanageable to soft and shiny. I liked the fact in the morning, all I had to do was run a brush through my hair and it looked great! And I'm a guy with long hair. When I heard that there was a possibility it made your hair fall out after continued use, was hard to believe. But...I have noticed in the past year or so, my hair has been getting very thin and falling out more than I thought was possible. Even thought of taking a picture and showing it to a friend because it was a lot of hair. NOW I heard statements from other people continued use of this product has caused their hair to fall out...I don't think I'm going to be using this product any longer if this is going to continue. I hope they find the cause of this. Up till now this has been a GREAT product. SOOO SORRY CHAZ...But I don't like the fact that my hair is falling out.

I began using WEN in April 2015 and the very 1st time I used WEN, my hair began shedding while rinsing. At first I did not associate it with the hair product because of the celebrity advertisement and beautiful head models that had healthy and thick full heads of hair. I could not imagine such a highly publicized and advertised product would be bad. Fast forwarding I continued to use WEN for 4 months and each time I washed and rinsed my hair, globs of hair would come out. My husband while cleaning the drain commented "wow you could make a wig with all the hair that is in the drain". Now my hair has a small bald spot broken off throughout my entire head but more so in the crown.
Although I have joined the lawsuit, there is no amount of money that can compensate me for the amount of hair loss, the depression and mental anguish I am experiencing. An ingredient used in the shampoo was banned in Europe. Why would Chaz Dean be allowed to use the ingredient in the US? HORRIBLE PRODUCT. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT. YOUR HAIR WILL SURELY BE DAMAGED. I continue to lose my hair although I have discontinued using the product.

I have been using this product for almost 9 months. Let me start by saying I am so glad I found this because I could not figure out why my hair was falling out in big clumps. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong with this product. I used to have very long, thick hair now my hair is thinning out. I have stopped using the product and gone back to my regular shampoo in hope that it will fix the damage that Wen has caused. For the amount of money that is spent on this it is sad they still can advertise on TV. Please don't waste your money buying this product. It will just disappoint you.

Previously, I had purchased Wen Hair Care products and everything was ok. They do not disclose that in order to purchase their products, you have to be a member. Wen took my order, and then cancelled it because apparently, I was not a member. Even though I had bought Wen Hair Care products before and they were billing me! Wen has been billing me since April. I never received the products and I received a refund/credit back to my account. In the past, I've called twice and Wen told me that it was resolved. Wen sent my name to a collection agency. Another incident happened with my best friend. They billed her for $33.95. Even though she did not owe them any money, she paid it. Wen Hair Care continues to bill her for the same amount that she already paid! This is why they are scammers. Wen Hair Care will bill people just collect money that is not owed to them! Not to mention, their hair products, don't really work.

My son started buying and using WEN. His hair was falling out right and left. I didn't make the connection. I kept looking at what he was eating. Found selenium could cause that, Hazel Nuts, etc. We didn't think that was the problem. His hair was all over the tub, day after day. Told him to stop buying that expensive crap and use what everyone else was using. If we had only known. He's 27 now, very bald!!! He lost his hair at the age of 18-20. That just doesn't happen. Since he stopped, I see no evidence of hair loss. I'm angry, very heart broken for the young man.

I have been using WEN for over 5 years. I have never had any issue until early Spring Summer of 2015. I have always used the Fig but decided to try the Orange Blossom. I noticed my hair feeling dry and brittle. I thought maybe it was because I changed to the Orange Blossom. I have very long curly hair and only wash my hair once a week. I stopped using the Orange Blossom because it was drying my hair out. I changed to back to the Fig. Just recently I have noticed my scalp itching and now I have small clogged pores that have left scabs like it has been burned. I have a brand new bottle I have not opened. They must have changed something in the formula. They must be putting some chemical in there now. Something is severely wrong. My hair had not fallen out but it does not look like what it used to either. Sort of dried out looking. Now need to find something else. Something gentle and real and no chemicals.

In August, 2015, I began using Wen. I started with a trial size and it seemed that my hair was smoother and less frizzy. I purchased a large bottle through Sephora, and I started losing hair in large amounts. I thought maybe I was washing my hair too much, shedding, hormone changes or just part of getting older. My hair seemed smooth when wet but there were large clumps on my towel and in the sink after I brushed it. My husband complained that I was clogging the shower drain in the last few months but never connected the hair loss to the shampoo. I am now switching shampoos and hope that the hair loss is not permanent. I had thick hair and now it is a small thin ponytail. I will not use the shampoo another time and wish I knew sooner.

I had the sweet almond mint, starter kit, it smelled great! After use I started noticing, a dry scalp, that was pulling my hair out.

I watched QVC on several occasions, with Chaz Dean presenting his product WEN, the shampoo that did not lather. After seeing the girl's hair he used the product on QVC, I thought this is what I needed to use on my hair. I did the initial order on 12-06-2014, with 1 automated shipment at about the 6 month period (06-09-2015), to receive the automated second shipment. I have always had a head full of very thick hair. I ordered five, sixteen ounce containers with auto delivery of five more containers, which I received. I used the product for approximately 6 months and started noticing my hair coming out in the shower when I shampooed it. I get my hair trimmed approximately every four to six weeks. My hairdresser mentioned that my hair was getting thinner after about the fourth month. But because I has so much hair I never thought about it too much.
Then about the beginning of October my hair became so thin on top I could barely hold the top back with a baby clasp. There was not enough hair to hold the little clasp in. I was thinking what had I done different that might be causing this. I stopped using the WEN shampoo at this time. I saw my hairdresser again in November just after Thanksgiving, and she was in shock how thin the hair was on top of my head was. Since I stopped using the WEN shampoo, I have noticed little short hairs growing back on top of my head. I have been terribly upset and embarrassed at the loss of my hair, with friends and family commenting about how thin and limp my hair had become, and that this product was misrepresented by not revealing that hair loss could be a possible side effect of its use.

Hello. About 3 years ago I started using The WEN Shampoo/Conditioner. After using it for a month my scalp became covered in sores and I tried medication shampoo to help get to go away, to no avail. I had to go to my Dermatologist to find out what was causing it. I had to use a Prescription shampoo to get rid of it, and it took months. The Dermatologist told me it was the WEN shampoo and to stop using it. Well, I did stop using it. When I called WEN about it they said that they would refund my money, but they didn't think it was from the WEN product!
Now I see all these other women telling their story and It's the same as mine. I hair has never in the past using all type of shampoo's made my scalp have sores or make my hair fall out like this WEN Shampoo did. I am still having scalp problems and my hair is still falling out more than normal since I used that WEN product. Don't use it REALLY!

My hair have thinned so badly it's embarrassing. I wear wigs to cover the balding right in the front of my head. If I had to do this again, I would think twice. It's painful to talk about. If I could have my hair back, my confidence back. It's like my pride is at stake. The Bible states a woman's hair is suppose to cover herself. Thanks to WEN that will not happen now or ever.

I purchased Wen in early 2014 and was super excited to try it. However, after using it the first couple of times, I noticed that I had clumps of hair in the drain. I shrugged it off as being that I had just had a baby. However after 2 weeks it was substantially more than just the hair loss following having a baby. When I say clumps I mean CLUMPS!!! I had no idea this was a common problem til now and it all makes perfect sense now. I don't ever want to be around this stuff again!!! It's been almost 2 years and my hair is just starting to look normal again from all of the hair loss and missing pieces that fell out from this stuff!

I always had very fine hair and had to wear it short because the ends became dry and brittle and eventually broke off. I have been using Wen hair products for almost 4 years and now have shiny, fuller shoulder length hair. Now when I do see a few hairs in the shower it seems like more than it really is because the strands are longer. When shampooing with Wen you need to make sure you lather then rinse thoroughly. There would be no reason your hair would be greasy if you follow the directions. It is a possibility for some people to have an allergic reactions to any number of ingredients in any number of products on the market. I feel sorry for people who have had legitimate problems with Wen. For me, I love Wen and will continue to use it.

I brought my products from a shopping channel. I got a set Dec. 2014 and enjoyed the product that I gifted it to others and had been praising the product for its wonderful softening of my 4B/4C hair. I used the tea tree and bamboo green tea. I was able to cut my wash and detangle process to 15 -20 min rather than 45 min. max. I used the products alternately every 3 -4 weeks or so. My hair really didn't shed much at all in the beginning which I found strange but was happy not losing a whole clump of hair during the washing process.
It was around July, I noticed my hair was shedding and then all of a sudden I had a bald spot in October. Looked up reviews online and to my surprise other people were having the same issue. I was devastated because I had never experienced balding. I was almost in tears and immediately stopped using the product fearing to lose more hair. The spot was clean as a babies bottom and I have pics to prove it. It has been about 2 months and I finally have hair growing in the spot. I guess because I have a lot of hair and it's so coarse it took me longer to see the effects.

Before using wen, I had very thick and healthy hair but I started to notice that after using it my hair would look thinner and thinner and I thought maybe it was because it was the way the stuff worked but it was actually causing my hair to fall out of my scalp! For over the last two years, I have tried product after product and spent thousands of dollars on products, the laser cap, rogaine, and any product you can think of to try and restore my hair from being so thin now. I am only 22 years old and should not be having this problem.
I went as far as going to the doctor because I feared I had something wrong with me internally. After seeing the doctor and finding that I was completely healthy I wondered if it was a certain product so I switched to organic and I try not to use much on my hair anymore. A lot of these products are bad for you!!! I would like to be reimbursed not only for the money I spent on this product, but also for all the trouble and stress it has caused me for the last 2 years.

I have always purchased from QVC and use either the Fig or the Tuscan Pear. I tried the Six /Thirteen a couple of times and it made my hair almost slimy. Just figured it was the wrong formulation for me. Could there have been a modification to the formula or in the raw materials used to produce the product?

I am from Canada. The WEN products are sold through a chain of stores called "Show Case". They specialize in products "as seen on TV". My sister was working there at the time and as an employee would get a 30% discount on merchandise. She bought me the WEN starter pack (Lavender) for Christmas 2013. The first time I used it, I left it on for about 15 mins in the shower after I had done all the other washing. I left it in for that length because I was also combing out my hair with the comb that came with the kit, with the WEN product in. At about this time I started to feel a burning sensation starting on my scalp. It quickly spread to my forehead and down the back of my neck. I became concerned and tried to rinse the product out of my hair. My face and neck were covered with red blotches. The burning reduced, but took a good 30 mins for the sensation to finally go away. At this point I thought it was my fault, that I had left the product in too long.
I tried to use the same WEN product 3 days later. This time instead of taking 15 mins for the burning sensation to occur, it happened almost immediately, in the exact same places, and with the same intensity and my face and neck became red and blotchy. I rinsed it out immediately, but took again almost 30 mins for the burning sensation to fully leave. I called my sister and told her what the WEN product had done. She said that maybe the Lavender one was too strong, and they sold a mint one as well. She returned the Lavender WEN and exchanged it for the Mint WEN for me.
Trying to give this product the benefit of the doubt I tried the mint WEN product. It immediately started to burn my scalp, face and neck like the lavender WEN. I rinsed it out and it again took some time for the burning to subside. This time I took pictures of my red blotchy face. I phoned my sister. Told her I did not want to use these products anymore and she returned it for a refund of her money. I did not use WEN long enough for my hair to fall out like other women, probably because my body reacted badly against it, and I never got that far along with the product.

I have pretty healthy hair and I don't have breakage problems. I don't plan on purchasing any more of the product. I'm not sure what the result of the lawsuit will be for these individuals and if Wen will be recalled or taken off the market, but to be on the safe side I will go back to over the counter shampoos and conditioners. The Wen products I used were the Tea Tree, Green Tea, and Six Thirteen Cleansing Conditioners and Styling Gels. I hope this is helpful information for anyone who is seeking out more information about this subject as I was. It's really a disappointment 'cause I really wanted to love the product and stick with it. Hopefully they will get to the bottom of this problem and find out why this is happening.
Maybe it's an ingredient in the product that causes the issue. The only reason I was informed about the Wen issue was because my daughter saw an article online and sent it to me.

I began using this product in May of 2015. I did hours of research, and based on reviews online, decided to give it a try. My hair was already damaged from highlights, and was slightly thin, which was due to a thyroid issue already being treated by medicine. When I first started the product I noticed a change in texture, my hair became smoother and softer. I used the product faithfully, even ending my showers with a shot of cold water to rinse the product properly.
Fast forward to October, my thyroid is in check and life seems good except for a spot near the crown of my head that seems to be thinning again. I begin using the lavender WEN to change up scents and see if I can see more improvement in my hair. What I experienced were handful after handful of my hair coming out in the shower and larger thinning spots beginning to appear. I immediately stopped using the product and have returned to using my sulfate free shampoo I used prior to WEN, but my hair just isn't the same. I still have thin spots and although it's reduced, I'm still losing more hair than I was before. I am completely disappointed. For a product that costs $40 and is backed by celebrities, I would have expected the beautiful hair I was promised. I do not recommend this product.

I am very upset because all I did to grow my hair has sent down the tubes. I loved my hair and I believed the infomercials and ordered the product. Biggest mistake of my life. I'm going to have to start wearing wigs. This is unbelievable. I am so stressed because my job says that the hats aren't uniform and I can't wear them anymore. What am I supposed to do? I need my job and I want my hair back. Please read all reviews and stay away from this product. I never even received my comb and brush either. I am truly embarrassed and upset.

I have natural hair and I used WEN last year to promote growth and healthy hair. My hair started thinning, but I continued to use it unknowingly. I ran out and my hair started growing back... still didn't realized it was WEN until recently I ordered this product from QVC and used it 3 times in 3 weeks, and my hair broke off and thinned again. I wish I had look at these reviews before. This product may work for some people, but it did not work on my hair. My hair was thick and healthy before I used WEN.

I have been using this product for about a year now, and at first, I thought it was a miracle fix for my hair, (I have [had] waist length blonde hair, that was thick, but very fine and flyaway). A couple of months ago, I started noticing my hair EVERYWHERE. Literally everywhere. So I too thought maybe it's the meds I take, stress, hormones... anything BUT the WEN. Boy was I ever wrong!! I went to my doctor, had him do blood tests (I even stopped taking my meds for a while to see if that was the problem), and all was normal. Then I noticed my scalp started getting itchy... REALLY itchy. I have never had dry scalp or dandruff in my life, so this was brand new.
So I bought a small bottle of tea tree shampoo, and after 2 washes... NO ITCH. AND I noticed my "shedding" was not as much. (I am hoping the follicles are not permanently damaged as I have heard that can happen.) So now I will only be using shampoo and conditioner again. This product is AWFUL! And being that I still have quite a bit left, I will be using it for shaving, (it works well for that at least). PLEASE DON'T BUY OR USE THIS PRODUCT!!! I TRIED THEM ALL!!!

Please do not use this product... I bought WEN after seeing the commercial on TV thinking that it's going to make my hair look as better than what it looked. I had extra thick hair with lots of shine. I received WEN and started using it as it stated on TV. I used it for 2 weeks only and the third week my hair suddenly started falling out in clumps. It was the most horrifying experience I've ever had. I almost lost half of my hair. I went to all kinds of doctors, did so many tests to make sure it wasn't my health and I was as healthy as a horse. Took all kinds of vitamins and still did not help restore my hair back to what it was. I called Wen customer service and explained to them what happened and all they could tell me was to keep the product and gave my money back. This is the worst product ever. I went through the most depressing part of my life watching my hair fall out in clumps because of this shampoo.

I used this product for about a year and a half. I'm not sure exactly when my hair started falling out because it seemed to happen somewhat gradually. I kept trying to come up with reasons this could be happening but none of it made sense. I will be turning 40 next year and thought that maybe my hair loss was due to aging and hormonal changes, or it could have been from wearing a ball cap, or from wearing my hair pulled back, or because I dried my hair everyday. I've been doing these things all my life and have never had any issues.
I mentioned my issue of going bald to my sister the other day and she told me about the Wen lawsuits. After reading about other people's experiences it became obvious that Wen is DEFINITELY to blame. In addition to losing my hair, the texture has completely changed becoming wiry and brittle. It really pisses me off that because of their products my hair (or lack thereof) may never be the same. I've become very self conscience of it and no longer wear my hair pulled back because it makes it more noticeable. I have always been complimented on how pretty and thick my hair was... Not so much these days.

I used WEN products for at least a year which I purchased from QVC. One of the negative comments on QVC's website was someone started to lose their hair so they stopped using WEN. When I started losing my hair I had this at the back of my mind and stopped using WEN and starting using a regular shampoo to get rid of the build up. I was losing handfuls of hair when I washed or brushed my hair. I have never experienced hair loss like this before. My hair looks worse now than when I started using it. It is brittle and has lost its shine. My scalp had become itchy and I was wondering if the heavy WEN cleanser had clogged my hair follicles and caused fungus or bacteria to ruin the follicles.
I had an idea to put coconut oil and melaleuca essential on my hair with a shower cap and sleep with it overnight. After two days my hair stopped falling out. Now I have to wait for my hair to grow in. I have never had as little hair as I have now. Watching CBS tonight and hearing other women were having hair loss after using WEN was confirmation for me. I am throwing my granddaughter's WEN away as well as the canine formula. I will send QVC an email and let them know the problem people are having with WEN.

I believe for those who were not happy trying WEN Cleansing Conditioner that they may need to try a few different ones until they find one that works with their hair. I am sure as with anything, a very few people may have reactions to some of the ingredients. I am just as sure, that in some cases, other causes for those same side effects are also to blame such as; stress, genetics or a disease process. I saw in one negative review that overuse was immediately apparent when they said the WEN product was being used a couple of times a day minimum.

I've used Wen on and off for nearly 10 years. Most recently, the product hasn't performed as well as it did in the beginning, when it made my hair amazingly shiny and bouncy, but I haven't experienced the problems, especially the hair loss, many others have reported. Regarding the company itself and their business practices, I too have had them change an order from what I firmly told the representative I wanted to a more expensive version. However, while it was annoying, I had no trouble insisting that they listen to the recording THEY made of my order. I didn't even have to pay the difference; I was just instructed to keep it.
My advice in these instances is this: if you order from anywhere on your card, make sure you have some kind of record and preferably use a debit card from a bank with good fraud protection. Chase is usually very good about looking into disputed charges and crediting me for ones that I claim I don't owe for various reasons. Also, for those who like the product but don't like dealing with the company, or who would like to try the product, order through QVC. The prices are better than the manufacturer, even with shipping and handling (and tax, if you're required to pay it), and if for whatever reason you're not satisfied, you have a minimum of 6 weeks to return it for a full refund. QVC is usually extremely understanding and helpful with unusual problems as well. If a product I use sells through them I order solely from there.

I purchased Wen hair cleanser through Sephora and not online or through the phone because I wanted to purchase it when I wanted to. I did not notice immediate results but I have noticed results over time, especially when I run out or do not have access to it and use other types of shampoos and conditioners, and I don't typically buy the cheap stuff. The first day after I use shampoos and conditioners, my hair feels great, but the days after my hair feels so dry. I bleach my hair and it is curly so of course it will be dry and Wen significantly reduces the dryness. I love it.
I also use the mousse which I quite like as well. I've bought other products since to see if they would work better but they don't. This mousse leaves my hair feeling soft and shiny for multiple days. My favourite cleanser is the vanilla lemon one. I do use a significant amount but I try not to wash my hair often because I want my natural oils to moisturize my hair as well. So I try to only wash my hair twice a week but since I play a lot of sports in the summer, it's not always possible. It never leaves my hair greasy and I don't find it much trouble. When it gets to the bottom, I mix it with water and then I can make use of all of it.

Within a month, I noticed my hair was falling out on the comb and 3 bald spots in the middle of my head on both sides, and the top of my head about 5 weeks later.

I still have no hair growth on those spots, like my hair just permanently shriveled or a chemical burn. I have not been able to wear my own hair since June and am now having to wear wigs to avoid the embarrassment and inconvenience of baldness.

Wow is all I can say after reading some of all the negative reviews on this product. I don't usually write reviews, in fact, this my first time writing a review about any product, but I couldn't read the negative stuff people are saying and me not say anything. I started using the WEN products about 3 years ago after having problems with my hair. My hair was horrible, was breaking off, getting thin, etc.. Then one night after seeing the WEN advertisement, I decided to give it a try. I'm an ordained minister who of course believes in miracles, so after using this product I thanked God for answering my prayer.
This product is amazing. Even after the first wash, I saw a difference. And with each wash my hair condition improved. It made my hair thicker. My hair was no longer coming out after my combing it, made it more manageable, soft, full, and shiny. I LOVE IT!!! Although, it may not be good for people with sensitive scalps, or some kind of scalp issues, illness, etc.. The reason I say this is because before I started using the WEN products, I had a sensitive area in my scalp that came from other products I've used in the past. And when I used the WEN it made the small sensitive area burn a little, but not to the point where I felt I needed to stop using it.
For example, I don't use hair relaxers as I once did. But just as you put certain relaxers on a sensitive scalp, after a certain amount of time, it's going to start burning, some people may not stop using it because they like the relaxer overall and want that relax look. So they keep using it, and know when to rinse it out... In other words, they don't keep it in too long. They know their scalp/hair can't stand the timeframe others without a scalp issue can. When I use the WEN, the whole washing process for my shoulder-length hair takes about 10 mins., and I still get good results as a person who keeps it on longer. I actually stop using WEN products for a couple years due to my finances, and things haven't been the same with my hair. But I just ordered my WEN kit, got it a couple days ago, used it, and I am still very pleased.

Guess my recommendation would be to find a friend or someone who can help you decipher all the ingredients that go into the product and make your own informed decision.
For those who are nervous about the ordering/charging/refund issues, I ordered it from QVC - one time order, can reorder when you want. Personally I don't like automatic shipments so didn't order through the company when I read all the negative comments about being put on an automatic shipment plan without being told about it. That's just tacky on WEN's part but doesn't mean the product is bad.

I see on my credit card that I was charged for a delivery Oct 25, 2015. I was wondering why it takes so long to receive my package. If it is because you have the wrong address, well I sent you a corrected mailing address last month.

I received my Wen products yesterday. Used the shampoo this morning, very nice. I haven't used the other products since on a work day morning, I don't have time. I will continue to use the products for 10 days straight and then decide if I'm satisfied or not, meaning, asking for a refund or not. My pet peeve with these products is what follows: When I received my box, included was a statement indicating that in a 30 day span, other products would AUTOMATICALLY be delivered and CHARGED to my account. I phoned immediately.
First question I asked them to confirm is "Please confirm this conversation will be recorded." (I've worked with a system like this, people clam up) She did confirm. Then, I SPECIFICALLY, told them I did NOT want to receive any other products. But especially, I did NOT ANY OTHER CHARGES ON MY VISA. They had a speech as long as the arm but once again I stated my request and asked for a verbal and written confirmation. Secondly, to the people on this list, in this day and age, you can call your credit card company and tell them not to accept any charges from any company you do not wish to deal with, ex. Wen. There is a minimum credit card insurance against these things. Phone your credit card customer service and inquire. All this said, I do like the products, just not their way of dealing with their business.

Cancelled the auto-ship but received shipment - total cost $105. Billed on credit card for one of three charges of $48.00. I had returned product immediately via Canada Post. Still a charge on credit card statement. Called Wen and told it takes 6-8 wks for item to have been received prior to issuing cancellation/refund. Keep your tracking # as I informed them that they had received the return within 2 days of posting. Suddenly they realized their scam wasn't working. Had to stay on the line for a long time as informed Wen has a problem issuing refund. Hope I see the refund next credit card statement but I'm doubtful. No more Wen for me. Bad experience. Stay away from these con artists!

First of all when I order I thought this was a one time deal. Little did I know they would ship more products and charge me. I went to their site and told them twice to stop but they never answered me. I got another pack some time ago and this time it had a return tab with it. I will return in today and hope not to pay too much because it weighs 5 pounds. Second of all I had so bad results with this product my hair was a mess! I stopped using it about 3 months ago and my hair is slowly returning to normal! Also their products smell weird and make my hair oily! Bad publicity, bad product, bad service!

I ordered a beginners kit and it was received. However, I was overcharged for it and then was charged 3 more times and never received any additional product because I had cancelled my membership. When I contacted Wen about the overcharges, I was told that there would be a refund within 3-4 business days. I have now made 3 phone calls and continue to be told that it is in process and it will be 3 -5 more business days. This absolutely the worst customer service I have ever dealt with and would advise anyone to not use this company unless they have lots of time to deal with them or wish to just throw their hard earned money away.

First of all, I would like an explanation as to why this product has good results for a handful of people and horrible results for others. Is there an explanation? This just doesn't make sense. The ingredients are supposedly pure, organic, botanical, blah blah blah. I think consumers need this question addressed. Having said this, I am fortunate in that I have not had horrible results. For the most part, the product is kind to my color, and generally leaves my hair feeling healthy. But it is very, very high maintenance, and the delivery system wastes almost half the product, unless I empty the product that will not pump out into a pyrex cup. Rinsing doubles the time in the shower. If I don't rinse profusely, my hair will not feel as clean. Not suited for quick showers. This really is a "celebrity" product. Too many extra products and steps for volume, texture, shine, treat, moisture, etc, etc. Not practical for a woman on the go!
Also, I once tried to take advantage of the TV infomercial and ordered the Gunther-whatever trial kit. The Wen guy on the phone tried to sell me another kit, which was like 2 ounces more product for $10 more. I tried to decline, explaining that it would cost me more per ounce than the deal I was trying to order. He kept INSISTING that it would save me money. After confusing me beyond my level of tolerance, I agreed. When I got off the phone I did the math with pencil and paper, and sure enough, I would be paying more per ounce with the kit he pressured me into purchasing.
I called back immediately to cancel the order, and I was told that once the order was placed I would have to wait until it was delivered and then return the product for a refund. The order was already being processed. This was less than 5 minutes after my order was placed. After THREE shipments that were sent and returned did they stop sending shipments. I didn't even bother to check my credit card statement to verify if my account had even been credited. I just didn't want to deal with the aggravation of it all. How is this allowed to continue? The numbers of bad reviews of bad experiences is nothing short of ridiculous!

Bottom line, stop paying for crap. My mother used Alberto VO5 products. They still cost 1.00 in dollar store, 99 cents in most super markets. Really people, you are wasting your money.

I am unable to cancel the auto-renewal subscription on products that my child ordered online without my knowledge or consent, and I am trapped in an unending cycle of being billed for and shipped unwanted products. The company makes opting out of its auto-renewal program impossible. Here are the basics: The Terms and Conditions on the website state to call the customer service number to cancel all future orders and a link is provided. If you click on the link it takes you right back to the website's home page. The phone number is buried within the website, and it is difficult to find. I have called the number to cancel all shipments over 20 times beginning in August 2015. I was given two confirmations of cancellation numbers. Yet they are still sending/billing me for products I previously cancelled. Therefore, I had my credit card company block all future transactions with the company.
The problem is that the company's Terms and Conditions state that if a credit card is no longer valid then you are automatically entered into a pay-by-check program. If the bill still isn't paid the Terms and Conditions state that you will be turned into a collection agency. Furthermore, returning the product is difficult, because there are two different shipping addresses. One address is in Foothills Ranch, California and is located on the front of the invoice that is included with the shipment. It clearly states on the back of the form to return the merchandise to the address on the front of the form. But the website states it should be sent to a completely different address in Arden, NC. Which address is the correct one?
Is the company being deliberately deceptive so that the returned shipment goes to the wrong address and is not received in time resulting in another bill to the consumer? In addition, I was unable to submit my complaint via email on the "Contact Us" portion of the website, because it would not accept it. I believe this company is not ethical and it has deliberately damaged me financially.

Cancellations seem to be a problem. I called last month to cancel product deliveries. They confirmed cancellation over the phone, then sent product anyway. When I called, they said it had not been cancelled. So another 110.00 I am invested for since I can't send it back or reverse the charges. Then the person handling me tried to convince me that I could delay or extend deliveries etc. Yeah, right. I won't deal with this company again.

I purchased WEN hair products and used it as directed for 1 month. After 2 wks I began noticing clumps of hair in my shower drain, brush and on the floor. I didn't think it could have been related to my Wen products as my hair was so shiny and felt so clean and I just brushed it off as perhaps a nutritional deficiency or stress so continued using it for another 2 wks.
I suddenly saw several noticeable bald spots on my scalp. I became very concerned and immediately stopped using Wen. It has been 2 months since I stopped the use of their products. The hair loss has began to slow but I have lost over half the thickness of my hair. This has never happened to me before. I color my hair professionally 4 times per year, use a blow drier once a week, a heating iron once a week, no hot rollers. I thought Wen was all natural so I'm not sure what is in it that is causing so many people to file complaints against it. Wen has to be taken off the market before it causes more people harm.

When I first using Wen hair started falling out, thought it was other causes. As I continued to use Wen my hair just fell out even more. Everyone was asking what was going on with me, my hair continued to fall out and get thinner and thinner. I just didn't think it was Wen because I was so busy listening to Chaz Dean rave about how good it was for all hair types. It left me with less than half of my long thick hair.

I ordered a trial kit of the product to try it out and was unwittingly placed on an auto-renewal where they continued charging my credit card and sending me boxes of the product. I took no knowing affirmative step to authorize this, and I have reviewed my email order confirmation which states absolutely nothing about a renewing order. It confirmed only the individual order that I placed, even considering all fine print.
Even if I did like this product I would never purchase from this company again because their business practices are incredibly unscrupulous. When I called to cancel the "subscription" and address the issue I was hung up on the first time before ever reaching a person, and the second time I reached a person who sounded like she was outside in the wind.

I ordered product in July and never received until today (October) even after making at least 20 phone calls. Each time they apologized and mentioned that the product will be shipped and I will receive a tracking number in 24 hours. Never happened till date. They already charged me full amount for my order in July. 2 days back I again see charges on my account for no reason. I never made a purchase. When I called they say it's pre-authorization charges to confirm if the customer is capable of making their payment. I have never heard of such a check and even after making the full payment for something I have not received for 4 months.
I am tired of Wen, I regret having ordered anything with them. I wish I had read reviews before ordering. As others correctly mentioned the only way to stop having them charge your account is to cancel your credit card they have on account. Their products are also not good. I too have a lot of hair loss - like never earlier. I kept blaming it on stress but now I know whom to blame.

My issue is 100% with the inability to stop delivery and then being billed for the returned refused product. I returned no less than 8 packages AFTER I CALLED TO STOP in March 2014. I paid for all product I actually ordered and kept but am being constantly harassed with threats of collections for product that was returned. The same time they claimed I owed them money they kept sending product that I refused to accept. US POST OFFICE employee from the Waterloo WI office actually returned it as REFUSED many, many times.
Today I received another call from a "collector". It is impossible to stop them sending their packages. I was still not accepting packages as late as August 2014 that they were sending. You cannot stop them no matter how many calls, how much anguish they cause. My credit union spent hours trying to figure out what this company was doing. Wen kept sending adjustments of varying amount that never added up to anything.
A horrible company to deal with. Stay away from WEN, Chaz Dean, and Guthy Renker. I still don't know why they are doing this but harassment and denial is their specialty. I had many conversations lasting over 30 minutes trying to stop them sending stuff. I am still disgusted and sickened by such predatory practices. They are predators and obviously have more money than scruples. The product itself is not the problem. The unscrupulous business practices are.
