Starting with just the Cleansing Conditioner is a good way to begin.
--
-- Based on what I've read in this forum, I think these are the most popular products. Most people use the Cleansing Conditioner, Styling Creme, and Treatment Oil (or their own homemade treatment oil version using 95% jojoba oil, plus a maximum of 5% essential oil). A lot of people use the Mousse, Volumizing Treatment Spray, Replenishing Treatment Mist, and Re-Moist (though most don't use all four of these products). Before he created the RTM, Chaz used to give out a homemade RTM recipe (Help on RTM Recipe / Homemade Spray Bottles!). I've included this information because if you're new to Wen, it can be a bit daunting trying to figure out where to start. Just starting with the cleansing conditioner is a good way to begin as mentioned above. Chaz has created a number of different products in response to what's been requested, so go slow. Just use what you need.

MOST POPULAR WEN SCENT (in my opinion)
1) Tea Tree - it really helps to keep your scalp healthy, balances oil production, keeps dandruff at bay, and seems to make your hair grow more quickly. Chaz calls it one of the "universals". Most Wenners on this board (as well as the Wen models & hosts) seem to incorporate it into their routine. Besides its slightly medicinal smell, which most people get used to fairly quickly, I've only read a few complaints about it.
__
SCENTS USED FOR SPECIFIC REASONS
* SAM/POM/TT/BGT - considered universals (i.e. for everyone) -- BGT, some people find too drying -- SAM, the first CC Chaz created, is sometimes too heavy for thin/fine hair.
* FIG - most moisturizing (sometimes too heavy for thin/fine hair)
* CA - most clarifying/astringent (some people find it too drying)
* LAV - for volume, if you have a lot of hair (sometimes the witch hazel makes it too drying for not a lot of thin/fine hair)
* TT - maybe for some volume, if you have thin/fine hair.
* TT - normalizes an oily scalp by rebalancing sebum production (results take a few months). Also, as an anti-fungal, tea tree oil helps get rid of excessive fungal growth which can cause dandruff.
* 613, BGT & all Seasonals - add amino acids (e.g. protein) and additional skin care ingredients to your hair. 613 is the most concentrated. -- If you already have a healthy head of hair or if you have thick/coarse hair, then use 613 sparingly at first (for some in these two categories, it can make your hair feel like straw or even cause your hair to get brittle and break). Your hair is made of protein. Depending on your hair type, too much protein may not be a good thing (but generally it's great for thin, fine, damaged hair).
* Kids formulas (Apple, Watermelon, & Strawberry-Banana) - gentlest for the hair and scalp (rice based / no menthol)
* for those with allergies - cleansing conditioners -- wheat allergies: soy-based (POM, 613 & Seasonals) or rice-based (Kids formulas & BGT) formulas -- soy allergies: rice-based (Kids formulas & BGT) -- nut allergies: soy-based (613 & FTP), rice-based (Kids formulas & BGT).
* for those with nut allergies - product lines (per Chaz Dean's Salon on 3/25/14) -- 613 products: CC, SC, RTM & mousse. ---- some POM products: SC, GS, & Re-Moist are nut-free. -- Sweet almond oil (nut-based) is in the POM CC, RTM, BCC, & BL. -- Sweet almond fruit (nut-based?) is in the mousse and finishing creme. -- POM Treatment Oil (forgot to ask). ---- FTP CC ---- to be safe, read the ingredients listings.
