Tea Tree - color safe & still provide volume?

Have you used the Tea Tree before? If you think the LAV scent is too strong, then I would think the TT would be too strong for you too. TT has a scent that many people do not care for. I use TT because it's great for my scalp and the scent doesn't bother me. But I wouldn't say I enjoy the scent and it is strong.

It has been several years since I colored my hair and I don't recall if I was using TT at that time or not. I think I was using LAV, and maybe also a combination of TT & SAM. I do remember that WEN saved my color. With regular shampoo, even supposedly "color safe" shampoo and conditioner, I had to use an old towel the first few washes because the red would come off on the towel. I didn't have that problem with WEN.

As for volume and body--I use TT for my first cleanse and either WWC or BGT for my second cleanse and I do get good volume and body. Which is amazing, since my hair is thinning, fine and oily and has always been flat and straight as a board.

Never used the TT before. I don't like the smell of Lavender.

If you decide to try it, you might want to buy a small bottle first to make sure you are OK with the scent. Like I said, many don't like it. I don't love the scent, but it really helps my scalp, which is prone to being itchy and flaky.

Tea tree is a very strong scent but the scent doesn't bother me. I use it often and it is one of my favorite core formulas. I like it more than Lavender. I bought Lavender in a tsv when I was fairly new to Wen and I didn't like it at all and just mixed it with other formulas to use it up. It was too drying for my hair and I didn't like the scent of it either. I should have realized that I wouldn't like it but ordered it anyway.

I really couldn't stand the smell of the Tea Tree cc, although I can handle it better in the oil (perhaps because it's mixed with eucalyptus or because I just don't use that much). As far as color goes, I am also red/auburn and while WEN definitely helps hold my color better than any shampoo I've used, it still fades, regardless of which WEN I use (although I try to go heavier on FIG as I feel that helps the best). In Chaz's infomercial he washes the redheads TEN times and the one in WEN looks the same, but if that was me, I assure you I would not!! And I have my hair professionally colored.

Lavender was not that pleasing to me and the only Tea Tree I have used was the oil which after awhile my husband had to admit was over powering because I used it as a night treatment. Have not used the Tea Tree CC but have read wonderful reviews on it.

Since I do not have scalp issues but want something to boost hair growth plus body/volume, I have been using the Winter White Citrus oil at night for a treatment a few times a week...LOVE....and use the Winter White Citrus CC for my first cleanse and then Bamboo Green Tea for my second.

I ordered the BGT styling cream yesterday but until that gets here, I add a drop of WWC oil to my present styling cream. I also have the BGT replenishing mist....LOVE....it is a great booster for the skin in winter weather when the elements can be harsh.

My hairdresser has never asked what I use to shampoo/condition with and I have never told her but she does say my color stays true and does not turn by the time I see her again for highlights. She recommends I stay with what I am using....I would have to agree!

I have used the TT and it didn't strip my color but I didn't have that issue with shampoo either and my color is blonde highlights. I know red can be trickier. But for volume and body and a pleasant scent, I strongly suggest trying summer honey peach when it becomes available again.

What time frame is the SUMMER HONEY PEACH become available?
