Yep, I'm sure once you stop using WEN your 10 bald spots will immediately grow back in and you won't need to get injections anymore. Pity the person sticking needles in your scalp didn't tell you that conditioner could be making random bald patches on your head. Oh well, once you stop the WEN you won't have the problem anymore so it's all good.

sounds kind of mean ^^^^^^

I am assuming that before any doctor started giving you injections in your scalp they analyzed what the cause of the bald spots were? certainly they didn't start the injections without first determining the cause. What did the doctor say was causing the problem?

spotty or patchy hair loss is Alopecia - my daughter has this and went from being spotty (Alopecia Areata) at age 5 to going completely bald (Alopecia Universallis) at age 6 when she lost all body hair - she's 11 now and does have patchy hair over her head, arms and legs, but still doesn't have any eyebrows or lashes. She uses the Tea Tree cleanser - she has had more growth once she started using the WEN than before she started. Only your Dr. can tell you for sure. If you are really worried about it take a list of the ingredients for him/her to look at. Alopecia, being an autoimmune disorder has many different triggers...thousands actually and no one can know for sure what the triggers are, but if you have a wheat or soy allergy or are sensitive to them you would want to avoid using the WEN products that contain wheat and or the soy. WEN does have a rice based formula...have you tried using that or the tea tree? No matter what the cause, no one can say for sure it's WEN. Definitely check with your Dr. though.

I had a few scalp sores and bald spots that troubled me for a year. It wasn't until I began using WEN that the sores healed and the hair grew back.

Yes, I saw that. Operative word: claiming. The reality is that anyone can file a lawsuit. It also states:

So while it's true a class action lawsuit against WEN brand hair care products was filed in July 2014 in California, no substantive evidence has been produced demonstrating its line of products is any more damaging than any other similar product. Moreover, the manner in which WEN hair care products purportedly cause the damage in question has not been explained.

(That is going to be a big problem for the litigant.)

If you think your hair is getting thinner when using WEN then chances are it is. Why stress over it - just toss it all like I did. I went back to my Aveda and the thinning has stopped as of now. Time will tell. Not every product works for everyone.

and you base your claim on what? b-s you've read on the internet that has no factual proof, written by fear-mongering people who made no effort whatsoever to get any actual medical opinions???

Q: How much hair loss is normal? A: “Hair loss in women is, to a certain extent, normal,” says New York-based leading hair restoration specialist Dr. James C. Marotta. “The average woman loses between 50 and 100 strands of hair per day, even up to 150 in some cases.” So don’t let those stray hairs in the shower drain scare you. “If you are nervous that you are losing an excessive amount of hair per day, you can try this trick: Take about 60 hairs between your fingers and pull, running your fingers through your hair. Usually between 5 and 8 hairs will come out—this is normal. An excess of 15 hairs, however, is not as common and means you are losing more hair than you should be. “For most, 90 percent of the hair on your head is in the growing phase, while about 10 percent of your hair is in the ‘resting’ phase, meaning that 10 percent will fall out and leave room for new hair growth within a certain period of time. If you are losing more than 15 hairs per pull, it likely means more than 10 percent of the hair on your head is in the ‘resting’ phase. While this still may not be a true cause for concern, it would be a good idea to ask an expert about what to do to halt this process. “The cause of excessive hair loss can be as simple as too much stress or a lack of vitamins, so it is important to take a look at your lifestyle when hair loss becomes an issue. However, hair loss can also become prevalent due to hormonal, immunological, and infectious issues, so it is important to see a doctor for treatment in these cases.”

I think she was being sarcastic.
