January 2012...*HITS OR MISS* (Hair Care Edition)

[soonergirl]

soonergirl, cosigning on the shedding caused by Wen Fig. It was awful. The shedding was extreme which caused mega tangling and some breakage. I was soooo upset as I was making such good progress with my hair. Thankfully I figured it out after only two uses so was able to limit the damage by incorporating black tea rinses and protein treatments. I sent that ish right back to QVC for a full refund. I plan to avoid menthol in hair products going forward as I'm thinking that might be the culprit ingredient.

Omg!! Thanks for the link...it unfortunate took me longer to determine that wen was the culprit, I wanted it to work so bad. Then I sat back and deducted that it had to be wen as it was the only thing im doing different. I have lost a lot of thickness but im working on a comeback...

No. I didn't see that. But we were talmbout WEN in U1B1 the other night and it piqued my curiousity so I started looking/researching.

Especially since I had plan to go WEN all Summer.

I know it works wonderfully for so many on this board and there are alot of WENNERS here and I'm happy for them that it works so well for them.

But at this point in my HHJ, I must err on the side of "Caution" and KIM.

I didn't see your like, but I did find this:

IDareT'sHair, thanks for the additional link which further reinforces that Wen works really well for so many people (lucky them) but for some inexplicable reason intense shedding seems to be the result for some. Wonder why that is? It's possible, there is an ingredient in there that some of us are allergic to. I recall one of the reviewers likened the shedding to a peanut allergy which can cause intense reactions for some while the majority are completely okay. Until more is known, I agree with you that its better to err on the side of caution.

soonergirl, I know what you're going through I'm sure you'll comeback in no time at all. It helps that you know what your hair needs to thrive and that the tea/coffee rinses are soooo amazing. Keep up the good work and you'll be longer and stronger in no time.
