MY HAIR IS FALLING OUT - I started using WEN about five weeks ago. At first I loved it, I could comb my hair so much easier when went, I no longer had fly aways at my part. I thought it was the best stuff ever. Then I started noticing a lot hair in the sink when styling. I have medium long average hair type hair, color treated down at the ends with about five inches a natural at the crown. Hair dressers have always described my hair as thin but as having a lot, just about every stylist who's foiled my hair has comment "gosh you've got a lot of hair" but it's deceiving because it's so slick. SO about three weeks into WEN and I was noticing even more hair everywhere, on my clothes, bed, floating around in the bath and way too much in my brushing after brushing... I'd never heard anything negative about WEN especially nothing about hair loss.
It was becoming very obvious that i was losing way more hair than normal but i still as not overly concerned then my mom mentioned that my hair didn't look good that it was flat and that I should go back to regular shampoo so I shampooed with regular shampoo the next time just to see if she would notice and wow I was the one who noticed. My hair wasn't as easy to comb with regular shampoo but was so much more shiny and lively but it was too late, I didn't realize then... just last week what WEN had done to my hair and scalp.
The hair loss from the previous weeks with WEN was beginning to show, I had already been getting handfuls of hair out of my brush every time I used it, lots of hair in the shower, bed, on my clothes, I thought it would chill out and stop shedding but it didn't and nowhere I am, five weeks since I started WEN, one week after stopping it and in the last three weeks I've lost more than 30% of my hair. My part is wide and sparse, I have to try to hide a large parting down the back of my head at the crown that was never there before, the front of my hair, the bang area that comes just below my chin, is so thin and wispy- I hate even looking at myself or to touch my hair and for some reason it's much thinner on the right than the left. My part is getting wider by the day, I can see through my hair to my scalp, and speaking of my scalp.....
Last Thursday I noticed three little red areas on my scalp right at the front top of my scalp, right at the part, I part my hair in the middle. They looked like little scabs, the closer I looked, the more horrified I became. My entire scalp was covered in red blotches and since I am usually not right up in the mirror examining my scalp, it wasn't until then that I also noticed just how thin my hair was getting!!
Now just a week later, my hair is horrible, it's literally making me sick at how thin it's becoming, it looks like I have some kind of disease that causes hair loss and the red blotches are now inflamed and crusty and burning. I bought some T-Gel shampoo this evening because my scalp feels like it's on fire... I just started reading yesterday about all the others who've lost hair due to WEN so I wanted to share my experience too. I know just as many people say they love it as those who are experiencing hair loss but ask yourself, is it really worth paying all that money to find out which you'll be? If I had done my research like I should have before trying any new product, I wouldn't have risked it and I hope and pray that anyone reading this who hasnt tried it, won't.
