Poor thing, I wonder which natural ingredient (plant and food extracts) she is allergic to. Did her mother have an allergy panel done after this? I know of kids being allergic to grass, grass could you imagine? 

 

Kids have allergies to things like nuts, honey, various plants and flowers. Most of these things are found in Wen. I hope her mother had her checked for allergies and didn't just seek payment.  

 

I guess for her (and other highly allergic people) multi-chemical based shampoos are better than a more natural/plant based product like Wen. 

 

What I find weird is "her hair slipped off her head on contact instantly" upon the third use. For her to have such a harsh reaction there had to be signs from the first 2 usages. Breakage, sores, irritation, redness, itching, etc. Why did her mother ignore the signs of an allergic reaction?

 

You can't get scabs without bumps and sores first. A scab is the body healing skin sores and irritation not the symptom. People that list scabs as the sign of issues are either ignorant to the body's mechanics or just trying to repeat what they have read.

 

As someone that frequently had relaxers and as such suffered true chemical burns, I can tell you the complete process from mild irritation all the way through to the eventual scab. A scab is NOT the first thing you would notice!!

 

Now you can have plaque dandruff or scalp psoriasis that feels like a scab...in which case I would recommend Wen Tea Tree and a visit to your doctor. Just make sure you aren't allergic to the natural oils and extracts first. 


I mean, there are a few missing pieces to this story, including the actual stages of allergy or harm as you so clearly state. I feel for this child if this is what happened to her. This story is a bit much. I was allergic to all milk AND soy based baby formulas with multiple, immediate negative effects. I'm sure other kids were too. Can you imagine if ALL those products were taken off the market? Every last one? If you looked at my reaction, it would have been justified. However, if you look across all the children who consumed them, I was an anomaly, not a norm.

@cinebee This is hardly "breaking news"...it's been all over the news (and these boards) for months now. But I'm guessing you already knew that! Smiley Happy

@arizona babe I had a horrible reaction to Pantene Shampoo...thick greasy scales, itchy irritated scalp, more-than-normal shedding. Should Pantene be pulled, too? My DH (and millions of other people) use it with no problems, so why take it away from them?

 

Millions of us use Wen with no problems--why take it away from us? If EVERY product that caused a bad reaction to some people was pulled from the market, there would be NO PRODUCTS left to buy!

 

Even "all natural" products have ingredients that SOME PEOPLE will have a bad reaction to.

True @sonechko!  It just amazes me how some people choose to spend their time--badmouthing products on forums for the very products they don't use/like.

Speaks a lot about the core interests they are driven by, and also about the level of something called "consideration" towards others, well people who, they know,  actually do like these products.

It must FEEL really GOOD to "STICK IT UP" to us, dumb Wenners, @BExplorer.  It must make them feel really good about themselves - they are smart and read the "news articles" and we are - stupid and do not know better, unless they "tell us"! Woman LOL

YESSSSSSSS - I can't wait to see his beautiful face, those precious Angels, and all of the healthy, bouncy, gorgeous Wen hair. I mean, assuming that the Wen doesn't cause people's eyeballs to fall out or skeletons to disentegrate right on stage. That could happen too, I suppose. Smiley LOL
