So . . . does it clog drains or not? - Page 2

I have used it for a year...no clogged drains.

But I only use 3 pumps and wash twice.

Some people use 8 -12 pumps...I think that is so Chaz can make more $$$$ faster!

I am not a Wen user but I was a hair colorist for over 10 yrs and I don't see how Wen could clog your drains anymore than any other conditioner because there isn't any miracle ingredient in Wen that isn't in any other conditioner. I think the people who have had problems with it probably don't have the best plumbing.

I would pour some baking soda and vinegar down your drains every once in a while to help prevent any soap scum and conditioner build up.

Irshgirl31201 - It's VERY thick and Chaz encourages people to use 10 pumps or more per lathering!!!!!

I only use 3 and I have to scour down the stall to get rid of the ooziness...

WEN is really not that much thicker than conditioner. I use 8 pumps twice, but I have very thick hair and it's a few inches past my shoulders. Before WEN, I conditioner only washed my hair, so it's been many years since I've used regular shampoo. CO washing has been a curly hair method for many years.

I live near QVC and go to a salon/spa that has always had hosts as clients. Just the other day I noticed a sign about bringing in products for use. I asked about it. I was told it was to discourage clients from bringing Wen. When I asked if it was because this salon used a specific brand I was told yes and no. They found they needed to flush out their pipes frequently due to the Wen. Clients instructed they use numerous pumps, far more product than they would use.

The posts I've read about women losing hair when using WEN, I have to believe it clogs drains.

I found a drain cleaner recently that's specifically for hair clogs. Can't remember the brand. It's a smaller bottle. And it works!

Who flushes feminine products down the toilet. Geeze.

Everyone I know. Everyone I've ever known. We had a discussion about it at work just last month. No one I know has a septic tank, and everyone with mains sewerage flushes those things. The thought of putting them anywhere else is rather "third world" to us.

(I'm talking tampons, not pads.)

I flush tampons, not pads or liner. I never flushed baby wipes though

Fine print says it's recommended to throw in the trash but they can be flushed.

If you have a septic tank, you are not to flush tampons or baby wipes, etc. I remember my Dad having to dig up and clean the septic tank and he gave my sister and I a good scolding. It was a good lesson, both of us have septic tanks at our homes.
