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 & SHP), 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). ---- SHP CC ---- to be safe, read the ingredients listings.

whew girl, you've been busy! Great job!!!

scottygal, thanks for your kind words. Always appreciated!!

WenGirl42, thanks for that update. I've just deleted it from both threads. Sometimes I just don't understand webbie. The thread's been around for over a year and now someone decides to shut it down. And yet they allow all sorts of people who don't like Wen, would never use Wen, and who ridicule us for using Wen to post all sorts of nonsense. I just don't get it. Oh well, on a more positive note, Chaz is up in 6-7 hours. Maybe there will be a Wen OTO!!
