WEN

[AmericanBulldogMom]

Is there anyone on here who has had either sensitivities/allergies/reactions/increased hair fall out from the core and seasonal CC's that can successfully use the Wen Kids formulas on their scalp due to them having fewer ingredients and no menthol? Seems like a possible option to still being able to use Wen. Thanks in advance.

@AmericanBulldogMom  Sorry I cannot answer your question but hopefully you can get an answer.  Did you check the ingredients in WEN kids? 

[HappyDaze]

I know there are a few that only use WEN kids on their scalp due to issues with the others. I think @quadmimi and @Jeannie29were a few if I remember correctly? I don't use WEN on my scalp and haven't for at least a year now. If they ever have a WEN kids special I plan on trying it just for my scalp. I used WEN kids before on my hair but it was a bit too drying so I know I can't use it by itself or for all over my hair but perhaps just on my scalp would be fine.

@Jax016 I have not, I just know the biggest difference is they are menthol free. I wiill check them, I am just not well versed in most of the ingredients and what they actually are/mean. Lol

@HappyDaze May I ask what you are using on your scalp now, meaning regular shampoo or sulfate free, etc., and are you just using wen on your length or do you not use it at all? Sorry for all the questions.

@AmericanBulldogMom   Yes I use it on my scalp area & have good results..

i still use the seasonals on rest of my head, even adding 1/2 & 1/2 (seasonal &. WK's)

works better.. sometimes I even just use water on my scalp, (rinse super good & seasonal on ends) my scalp is very dry & shampoo kills it, so I have just come up with a combo that seems to work.. I have 0 oil anywhere, not even as teenager, so the less I put on my scalp the better..we have a good shower filter that helps also..

Wen kids is much gentler but not good moisture for ends..I have my system down pretty good now!.. hope this helps

@AmericanBulldogMomyou can ask me all the questions you want, I don't mind!

On my scalp these days I either use Tweak-d (the guy who founded i was the same one who started the Ojon line) ultra nourishing foam in the can with purple writing or the restore in the tub (this is my favorite!) or Beekman's Honey orange blossom shampoo bar. Both are sulfate free, none contain menthol or any potential irritants.  I still do not use regular shampoos.

And yes, then I will use WEN on my length of my hair (I have long hair usually to just above my butt but recently got some cut off and now it is about bra strap length). I mainly use SHP CC but also SHL or a mix of the two (SHL is not quite moisturizing enough for my hair to use it alone very time I cleanse). I occasionally will  use Tweak-d on the ends instead of WEN, especially now that I am running low on SHP.

Are you having issues with the regular CCs?

@quadmimi Yes, it was very helpful. Thank you so much. ☺️

@quadmimi Edited to add....do you have any preference on the the 3 formulas, like which is most moisturizing, etc or is their performance the same and just the scents different? Thanks for your help.

@HappyDaze Thank you so much for not minding my questions. As for your question, I "think" I may be having an issue or the start on one. I am doing a little trial where I have not used wen on my scalp and things seem to be improving. So thats where my original question comes in.

If you've read my posts you will see I love wen and what it has done for my hair these last 6 months. My last hair cut (a big one -below my bra strap to just past my shoulders) was in July and I have no split ends, despite diffusing my hair 5-6 days/wk and coloring my roots every 4 wks. So I am a little heartbroken to think wen might not be agreeing with my scalp. I don't know what ingredient(s) it may be, but the menthol I hear as the biggest culprit. Knowing the wen kids is menthol free I was wondering (hoping) they may be an option for my scalp. This way I was thinking I could use wen kids on my scalp and the seasonals I love on the rest (my length). I appreciate hearing that despite not using any wen CC's on your scalp you successfully use them on your length. This gives me hope that I could use it this way and still continue to get the benefits of it on my length if the wen kids would not work out on my scalp either. 

I love his SC and mousse too so I am hoping I can continue to use those - I credit the no split ends to the SC's heat protection Chaz speaks of. I should check those ingredients for menthol to start I guess also. 

May I ask where you get the Tweak-d from?  I ask bc my 19 yr old son LOVES the original Ojon Damage Remedy Conditioner which is now discontinued. I haven't found anything for him that compares to it - his words. He has fairly long hair (mid-back almost) and likes to keep it well taken care of and healthy (thanks to me stressing he needs to take care of it and have it look nice if he wants to keep it long 🙂). Since Tweak-d is from the creator of Ojon I am hopeful maybe theres something in this line I I could try for him - a conditioner he may like again Are you familiar with this line to recommend a conditioner from it, or no bc you use wen for your conditioner? Thanks for your patience with me and my questions.

@HappyDaze  Does the Tweak-d scent ever interfere with the SHL or SHP scent when you use Tweak-d on your scalp? The scent of the nourishing foam was way too strong for me and I could smell it in my hair all day long. The restore in the tub wasn't quite as strong. I've only ever tried them on their own so I never tried with Tweak-d on the scalp and Wen on the length of my hair.

Since you normally add both the foam and the restore to dry hair first, do you just skip that step and get your hair wet and apply it to the scalp only?
