Original review:
I haven't been using wen or pantene since around valentines day and now I have 95% of the hair I lost growing back. The biggest spot is taking a bit longer, but it is coming back, too. I have been using a shampoo I found at walmart called simply u. It is paraben and sulfate free. I love this stuff. I can not believe the money I have spent on wen. I guess you can say I spent to lose my hair. I hope something happens to this product so no one else has to experience this.

I have been using wen for about a year and a half now, daily. I absolutely loved it my hair was so soft and shiny and thick.This was until around November of 2011 I noticed a 2 inch roundish bald patch on the back of my head. I started researching different things about hair loss and came to the conclusion that it was Alopecia. I decided to go to the doctor and he ran a bunch of different tests. They all came back normal. At this point I never gave the wen a thought and continued to use it. Finally my boyfriend and I were discussing the issue and he said to Google hair loss while using wen and I couldn't believe what I saw. Complaint after complaint about others experiencing the same stuff". I stopped using wen around the 20th of January 2012 and started using garnier fructise and a week later I had a five o'clock shadow in the now two bald spots that have increased in size/. This shampoo wasn't making my hair very soft or manageable so I went back to my favorite shampoo, Pantene.. The five o'clock shadow seemed to be disappearing about a week after/. Here come to find out, Pantene has some of the same ingredients that wen does!. So today I do not use either and I am taking a Biotin supplement hoping this does something for me because I am down to less than half the hair I always had:. I can still conceal the issue but it is getting harder,. I am affraid that in another month at this rate I will be completely bald". I am PISSED!!!! Someone needs to be responsible for this!!!! THIS SUCKS!!!! 127f425  Comments (14) |
| 1. Written by Will it grow back? on March 25, 2012 from west palm beach, florida, US I just want to know if my hair will stop falling out and if it will grow back. I stopped using Wen about 2 months ago. |
| 2. Written by Mary on March 24, 2012 from philadelphia, pennsylvania, US I too had been a Wen user. At the end of January, my hair stylist noticed several round bald spots that had not been there the month before. I saw a dermatologist the following week. He ordered blood tests and prescribed a topical steroid and Rogaine, which so far have not helped or slowed the hair loss. He also ordered blood tests which came back normal. I didn't connect the problem with Wen until I finally googled "Wen and hair loss." Again, there is no direct proof that it the Wen, but there is no doubt in my mind that I would have all of my hair if I had never heard of Chaz Dean! Needless to say, I have warned everyon I know to stay away from this product. |

I would not suggest biotin as a standalone supplement. It can be hard on your liver & you never know about the quality and if it's even bio-available for human absorbtion. I would suggest a more broad spectrum vitamin supplement. There are some topical things that you can do at the same time to help. I started taking vitamins by Usana Health Sciences and my hair grew 2 inches in 3 months! They are a reputable company and their products are FDA certified. Contact me on Twitter if you would like more info. @onekristendavis |
| 6. Written by Gina From Wa. on February 26, 2012 from oak harbor, washington, US I'm sorry for your loss...  I have been using a dash of Dr. Bronners mixed with an oz. of water as shampoo for the last 6 months (still working on the original bottle!) and I'm loving it! I have naturally oily, thin hair, and Dr. Bronners is an oil based cleanser so I was skeptical at first, but it made my hair so shiny, soft, and moist, not oily! I can go two or three days before it gets greasy looking, because my scalp isn't overcompensating anymore. Feels good man. |
| 7. Written by Kim Pollard on February 25, 2012 from campbellsville, kentucky, US I was visiting a friend and she told me about this hair product Wen she had ordered. She hadnt used it but one time. She told mr to try it so I did. I have very fine hair especially compared to her long thick hair. The first time I used the shampoo it seemed ok. I was there again a couple days later and tried again and then again i about a week later. This time I used the styling creme also. I could tell immediately there was something I didn't like.my hair looked like a thick dark grease pit. The next morningmy hair started coming out by handfuls. I ended up cutting on side because I was going bald on the other side of my head. I am walking around now with hair on top and bald and patches of hair in spots in back. It has made me sick and everyone is worried there is something wrong with me. I have never been this ashamed of the way I look til now. There should be something this company should do to help pay for what this has done. But it can't replace the feeling of how it looks and the aggregation it caused. |

| 9. Written by Jessica on February 23, 2012 from buford, georgia, US I went to the natural food store and started buying natural shampoo and it is doing wonders for my hair and skin. No harsh chemicals asked my hair looks healthier and shinier |
