Why would you want to continue using a product you "hated" the smell of.

Menthol is in many products, not just Wen, (hair & body)

You have a long return time so too bad you threw it out..

If you used Wen for years you also should be well aware of Kids Wen with no menthol, we all have had reactions to something, if you feel it's Wen, then use something else..

I've been using WEN for  yrs!!!  Hated the darn menthol but  lived  with it!

 

This time my  body finally  rejcted it and it upset my whole  system!  I am suffering from swollen neck,itch,and in  a lot of pain!

 

I give up!!!!

 

WHY  oh WHY, ALL THE DARN MENTHOL????????

 

Please take it out!!!! What is it there for????

 

I HATE the smell and this time I have gotten very,very sick from it!!!

 

Swollen glands ,pain,ect. Dr said STOP using WEN  immediately !!!!!!!

 

NEEDLESS to say I will..........now i'm paying for 5 months for a gallon that went in the trash!!!!!

 

Return it????   I'm too darn sick to be bothered!!!!    Smiley Sad

 


I have a couple of question's, first question is: WHY on earth would you continue to use a product that you hate??? And why do you feel that the Wen is the cause of your neck sweeling and itching and causing pain and swollen glands??? Did your Dr  do an allergy test for menthol??? When we rinse our hair the Wen runs down your whole body. I would think if it was Wen causing problems your entire body would show signs of menthol allergy's.

I think the menthol in it was what made me break out in a rash.

@MalteseMomma  What products does your hair salon use ?  I would suggest that you use something from your salon or try a recognized brand you can walk in and buy on your own without buying a gallon.  I use Redken because it is used at my salon and they have "repeat" customers so it can't be all bad

Just a fyi... you can have a scalp reaction without a body one. You are massaging the cc into your scalp. It may not cause irritation if it just runs down on you on rinse.

@Boomernichols 

A recognized brand without buying a gallon?

 

1). WEN is a recognized brand

2). You don't have to buy it in a gallon

She has another thread saying she was diagnosed with shingles. So it was not a reaction to Wen.
