My mom is relaxed and Wen made her hair super soft and grew it like weeds! For some reason I had an allergic reaction to it so I cant use it...

I started reading up all the stories on the severe hair loss from WEN and it scared me. My sis and I both use WEN, and I asked if she had any issues with it and said no. Neither have I (at least none that I've seen) and I started consistently using WEN when the pumpkin formula debuted. However, either my sis and I are having no adverse reactions or perhaps we're using it differently than some of the people who have had side effects; I for one have NEVER actually used JUST WEN...I always shampoo with a reg. poo first then use WEN. I could never conceive a conditioner completely washing my hair, and since I use a lot of product over the week, I always feel I need a reg. shampoo to clean all the gunk out first. My sister said only a few times did she ever just use WEN on a wash day but typically, she would use it in conjunction with another shampoo as well.
I just put that out there because one of the hair loss victims stated that they thought the build up from WEN was trapping the sebum and clogging hair follicles, etc (i dont remember word for word) and that they shouldve used a reg. shampoo to exfoliate the scalp once in awhile. I don't know if this is true or a logical explaination to some of the side effects aside from allergic reactions, but I've always used it as sort of a rinse out or deep conditioner. I've been kinda scared to touch mine lately, though, lol.
WEN is the reason I'm able to stretch so long. Im now 18 weeks. Even my beautician notice a difference in my hair. I like Fig and recently received the 613. I must say I like the 613 more. The smell is heavenly and the consistency of the conditioner is much thicker. Also I don't need as many pumps as I use with the Fig. Nevertheless I will have these two in heavy rotation. I used the ginger pumpkin and Im one of the few, that didn't care for it.
I went ahead and ordered the Wen Fig Conditioner as well as the Fig Remoist which was an arm and a leg...............$72.00!! I'm hoping I'm impressed and ask the good lord Jesus that I don't have an allergic reaction. I'll still do what I always do, shampoo once a week, clarify every 2 weeks and chelate once per month and continue with my protein treatments. Hopefully everything goes well.
I use the Hair One Olive Oil and NEVER had issues what so ever!
I used the SAM Wen no issues really either. Now I used the fig and I felt I got a slight increase in shedding which has subsided. I use the GP WEN mixed with Fig because I don't really care for it alone and my hair is super soft.
I LOVE WEN! I LOVE HAIR ONE!
If your allergic to it; please stop this isn't worth any issues that it may cause to you.
I used Wen Fig for the first time today and NOW I get all the HYPE! Ive been transitioning since last July. I have breakage around my hairline and the crown due to damage from both highlighting and texlaxing (hence the decision to go back to natural). Ive been getting sick of the two textures although I decided not to do the big chop. The breakage and 'swoll up' roots have made it difficult to do something as simple as create a neat ponytail when necessary. I do not think my hair has been extremely dry and the breakage stopped a while ago (thank God!) but I do believe shampooing stripped my hair down and even the DC didn't bring it back completely.
However after using Wen, my hair was much calmer and very moisturized. Wen made my hair much more manageable compared to last week's shampoo and DC. The only other product I used today was Wave Nouveau's Moisturizing Finishing Lotion. I plan to add this to my reggie. I will shampoo every now and then to clarify and prevent build up.
I am a bit irritated that I missed out on the Pumpkin and Vanilla Mint seasons and which ever one of you pointed out that Chaz looks like a white Prince LMAO (I love Prince dangnabit!! but youre right). Not sure if I want to try the Spring Gardenia so Im waiting to see what they do for the summer.
