NO WEN....NOW WHAT?

Those of you giving up WEN, what shampoos and conditioners are you going to purchase?

I went back to switching around my shampoos and conditioners. I really like Nick Chavez (Mesquite items), and I've always liked the results of Suave. I also use Loreal products. Suave also has a nice clarifying shampoo that I use on occasion.... so for me, switching around seems to work.....

Used Wen for a short time - hair never grew - went to Theorie shampoo - love it - very mild bubbles - leaves my hair soft and very shiny.

I second Theorie! I get mine at Marshalls, I have 3 scents so far. I prefer the tea tree. No sulfates or parabens, and my hair is super soft and love the natural scents. I tried a Suave shampoo, OMG stripped my color and the smell was insane smelled like awful perfume. I could barely stand it, it lasted all night, the keratin infusion one. I returned it. Just hope I can continue to find the Theorie at Marshalls!

I kept buying Wen but it made my hair look terrible (not blaming the shampoo, just thin hair).

I've always used many different shampoos. I read it is better for your hair if you vary the kind of shampoo you use. I just want something that gives my hair some body. Varying shampoos helps.

I've been using Shea Moisture shampoo and conditioner and like that it doesn't strip my hair. I have a soft wave in my hair and this line is marketed for the curly girls but I blow dry my hair straight and it works just fine. I looked at the ingredients in my Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Shampoo and Conditioner and didn't see the 'bad' ingredients that were mentioned in that article about the WEN lawsuit.

I've seen Shea Moisture at WalMart, Ulta, Walgreens, Sally Beauty and it's often on sale.

Before giving up Wen you should google every single other product or medication you use/take. Once you see complaints and reactions to them, you'll want to give them up, too.

I having been using Pert shampoo with light conditioner- never anything else - cheap product from the grocery store. My hair is soft, I have very fine hair, it doesn't weigh it down and my hair is always shiny. In the evening when I get ready for bed I put a few drops of argon oil on my face to moisturize it and what is left on my hands I run through my hair. In the morning I wash my hair and it has never been shinier. Some of the Pert shampoos have more or different conditioners in them - I always buy the light coinditioner due to having such fine hair. I wash and blow dry my hair daily but , to be honest, my hair is short and so fine it dries in less than a min. so I don't get damage from the dryer.

Before switching to WEN, I used Bumble and Bumble products which seemed to work well. They however, are also expensive.

I think that some people just have great hair and they could wash and condition with anything and it looks good. I have skin like that However, if I used Suave (I have) or Pert my color would be stripped.

I use WEN and like it but at least once a month I use my Bumble shampoo and conditioner. I am one of those people who believes that WEN, like many other products leaves a residue.

I switch back and forth between Oribe and Tweak'd (HSN). I use only Oribe styling products when using the Orbie S/C and only Tweak'd products when using that line (two very different concepts of hair care).

My hair is gorgeous : ). (humble brag, there, lol)

I'm going back to Ojon. I used it before WEN and my hair was beautiful. Over the past 5 years I NEVER suspected the WEN was my problem. But QVC discontinued it quite some time ago so I'll have to go to Ulta to get it. I looked back over my QVC records to 2010, when I first purchase WEN. I spent over $1,400 on WEN products.

Baa, I'm one of those sheep and have been for 3 years. Between meno and low thyroid, my hair was like straw. I had been one of those lucky ones who could use anything and still have great hair. Nothing worked. Sulfate free that I tried didn't clean my hair and actually made it feel gummy. Anyway tried from expensive to cheap and hated how my hair looked. Figured I'd give Wen a try with a small bottle of fig. First cleansing and my hair was instantly better.

No hair loss at all. If anything my hair grows thicker I've ways had very thick hair but my hairdresser has been laughing that he swears it grows while he's cutting. Still, this has spooked me some so will buy small bottles of various shampoos to try to see what results I get. Want to be prepared if I were ever to see even a small amount of hair loss. Hope it never happens and I can stay with it.

Why would I give up something that works for me? I've not had any issues with losing hair in patches after 5 years and have no intention of switching.

I tried two different tweaks, and it was too heavy for my fine hair. I just received my Isomer's shampoo and conditioner in the mail. I ordered it last time Manuella was on the other channel. Used it today, another winner. And I'm not scratching my scalp yet, lol. So I have Isomer's and my Theorie. I'm good!

I think all of you concerned about this should use soap nuts. All natural, one ingredient, cheap.

I am going to continue to purchase WEN even if Chaz will have to make it for me personally in his kitchen sink.

People, please. If you've used Wen and haven't had any issues, don't be alarmists. You can have an adverse reaction to any product. Even after you e used it for years. So you're really taking the same risk you would with any product you ever use on any given day. I used a facial moisturizer for years with no issues. Then one day I developed an allergic reaction to it.
