I have been using WEN daily...I work out and need to wash after exercise...and I have had to call the plumber to unclog the shower drain!! This has NEVER happened before, and the only new variable is WEN which I have been using for a month. Also, does your shower get slippery? Almost took a spill from the slippery residue as I was washing.

@Bullyeye Yes to both your questions; clogged pipes have been a bone of contention for Wen users.
Might be cheaper to change shampoos than to have to call a plumber.

I clean my shower at least once a week with Clorox clean up and I use very hot water to shower and to clean with
I have never had an issue with a clogged drain or slippery surface

The mistake IMO that people make when they use WEN CC is they don't use enough water to make a lather on the hair so the product is liquified enough to go down the drain.. I have been using WEN CC for years and never had clogged drains.

I have had neither problem. Quite a while back someone complained about the drain and was sure Wen caused it. She came back to say it was roots in her pipes.
i wondered about that at the time because it takes so much water to rinse out that I can’t figure out how it would clog. Not saying anyone is not being truthful but honestly wonder how pipes could plug because of all the water required.
i hope whether it is your Wen or something else you are able to get that issue cleared up.

I had shower/tub drain issues...big time. I did need to call a plumber to clean out the mess.

I've been fortunate as a long time WEN user (since 09) not to have any of the problems. I will say that one of the things I learned from Chaz was that I wasn't rinsing long enough - not even close. Maybe all that water is cleansing the drain!
Of course, I had to learn the same thing when I bought my first electric toothbrush and found out I hadn't been brushing long enough.
And - even Clarisonic re-enforced that lesson. I wasn't spending enough time cleansing my face.
While I'm guessing the 2-minute rule they all recommend isn't sacrosanct, I have found even when I stray from those products for some reason, I'm terying to use that advice and it's working for my hair and skin and teeth, too.
ETA: Lots of products, even ordinary bar soap, lead to slippery shower floors. I've known a few people who slipped in their showers, but none used WEN.

When I wasn't using enough water, I occasionally had to use a liquid drain opener but never had to call a plumber.

Nah, never and I live with well and septic. Been using Wen about 6 years. Before I do the rinse, I comb out the loose hair in the shower and dispose of it in a paper towel I take in the bathroom with me. Yea there’s loose hair especially since I wash my hair every other day, but no more than with other products. I have always combed through before I rinse because I have shoulder length hair and I’m sure if I let it go down the drain, no matter what product I used it would clog. I know I have more hair now than ever at 62. Yes, I attribute that to Wen. I do have good hair, but the thickness and density of it has increased. And I’m loving that.

When I used WEN I never had a problem with clogged drains but every month I pour a half a cup of baking soda down the drain then pour a cup of distilled vinegar in. After it is done bubbling I pour a tea pot full of boiling water down the drain and never have a clog anymore.
