Yes. At the end of June, no more shows pitching the WEN gallons. BTW, in all years prior, at least some of the choices were gone by mid-month. On Friday Night Beauty, seems all still available...draw your own conclusions.

So no more WEN, but on its heels is Christmas in July?

I'm just thankful it's not "Sleepnumber Month" or "Emjoi Foot Descaler" month...😜

I use WEN (started in '09), but never once bought any gallons.  That's just too much product for one person with short hair -  at least for me that's true.

Are there fewer people using WEN?  Maybe, but that isn't my concern.  Even if it disappears from mass marketing, I'll survive.  But if Chaz reappears in a few months with a deal that works better for me, I'll take a look. 

I had promised myself a few years ago to use up my stash; then I bought a new TSV 2 years ago. Finally, finally, I have opened and am using the very last bottles, so I'll be open to new products, WEN or otherwise.

But we begin the month (90 in NC today) with Christmas in July! It's a fun holiday, although I celebrate Hanukkah, but certainly not, in any way, thinking of Hanukkah decor and/or gifts on July 1st. 

What a sure way to lose many customers who may have several days at home relaxing & watching TV!!!

@Shanus  They also gain customers who do like to get an early start.  I know that I won't be buying, but I really won't be buying anything but food and fuel in July, so appealing to a different audience makes sense to me.

My next purchases will be fall clothing -  not decor, not cstmetics, not jewelry, not shoes or handbags, not kitchen objects, not ....  really not anything but one or two decent fall outfits.

I don't mean to offend anyone. Just don't understand the 6 month head start on Christmas. Maybe the gifts and decor has gotten too commercial if it takes that long to prepare. 

I also plan out my purchases. We're at the age when nearing downsizing....trying to donate/get rid of stuff, not accumulate more.

While I do agree that all holidays seem to be much more commercialized in the last few years, many retailers start pitching their wares early now, not just QVC.  After all, selling "stuff" is what they do.  And I had a relative that would start her holiday shopping for the next year the day following the present year's holiday--and that was fifty years ago!  Some people do that.

I happen to enjoy both the WEN and Christmas in July shows, even though I don't celebrate Christmas either.

I misread the title of this thread on scanning as "JULY 1ST END OF WEN GALLOWS" and thought well, maybe she really, really didn't like the stuff and has finally used it up.

I'm sorry, though, if they're discontinuing a mega-size you'd used.

Every time I flipped to Q and saw that WEN was on, I flipped elsewhere. Now that it's CIJ, it's total sayonara!

[hellokitty]

@Shanus.. I groan when July 1st comes along.  I am not a fan of Christmas in July at all.
