I liked the performance, but could not get past the maple. It actually made me feel nauseous. To add insult to injury, it's the only one of the cc's that wouldn't dissipate. Everything smelled like maple from the shower to my towels to my hair. lol. I guess I am in the 'can't stand it camp.' Which means more for those of you who love it.

FAS is the Most beloved or Most hated formula on these boards. I fall into the beloved category and cannot understand why this particular formula seems to garner the most intense emotional responses. I am considering the 5 pc set because it offers the FAS! Excessive hair shedding? I have never experienced this with any of the Wen formulas. sjk73, makes me long for the month of June Wink!

I never had any major hair loss with Wen until I was using FAS mostly daily either. I have been using Wen since only July 2014. I just wonder if my hair was getting to much protein and/or conditioning with FAS. It seems heavier than the other CC but that could be because it is heavy scented. I have another 32 ounce bottle so I won't be giving it up but maybe just use on occasion because I had better luck with occasional use.

I had a similar issue with Cucumber Aloe. I was using it because I have oily hair and it's supposed to be the most clarifying. However, after using it exclusively for a few months, I noticed that I was having more hair fallout than usual for me. When I finished the bottle, I switched to Tea Tree and I noticed a difference immediately. I'm sure there were other factors involved, but nonetheless I did notice a clear difference. I have so many other "flavors" to try now that I'm sure I won't go back to CA for quite a while, but I haven't completely ruled it out. We'll see what happens when the weather gets hot again--I might feel like I need it.

I'm having scent issues with Fall Ginger Pumpkin. I received my Wen TSV (seasonal option) a few weeks ago and decided tlo open FGP since I wanted a "warm" scent. I don't have problems with ginger or pumpkin scents. Anywho, I used it and although I loved the way it made my hair feel the scent lingered and triggered migraines a couple times. I wouldn't mind the lingering scent as long as it was something I enjoyed. So I have one new unopened bottle and one that's been used once (10 pumps used) and trying to decide whether to put the unopened one on eBay or somehow trade. If anyone here is interested in a trade for the unopened one please let me know. Just a straight up trade. I would trade for Tea Tree, Bamboo Green Tea, Summer Honey Peach, Summer Mango Coconut. Also I guess I could sell. Please let me know and if this is at all not allowed then I'm truly sorry. Thank you!

Megan, I never tried this formula since I didn't believe that I would like it. Although I know that many who use Wen really like this formula and definitely may be interested in buying this from you or trading for another formula. I would imagine that someone may be interested in buying your already opened bottle, in addition to your unused bottle.

Hi Susan25- I had a thread started but it has since disappeared. If anyone is interested in purchasing or trading please let me know. Thank you!
