I don't mean to dissuade you, and I'm sure you will receive many posts to the contrary. But, I have the same hair type as you and 613 dries out my hair horribly, makes it frizzy, prone to breakage, and just generally makes my hair unmanageable.
I think this has something to do with the extra protein in the formulation, as I have the same results when using the seasonals. I've learned my lesson the hard way, and now know not to stray away from FIG and TT.
ETA: I might purchase a smaller size first, to see if it works for you, OP. A gallon is a huge commitment to make without knowing for sure if that formula works for you.

There's always next year to get the gallon if you like it and think you'll use it regularly. While 613 is a treatment and smells wonderful, it can be drying. I don't think many people use only 613, they mix it with other CC's or use it as a second cleanse.
I agree with lizzief about 613. You definitely shouldn't buy a gallon of 613 if you have never tried it. Most of us can't use 613 very often. I like it but can't use it more than once a week. Many Wenners just use it occasionally and mix it with other formulas as was stated above.
It is never a good idea to buy a gallon of any of the Wen formulas that you have never tried. A formula that is terrific for some may not work for you.

I also have thick, course, frizz-prone hair. My curls love 613. I use it at least once a week.
Like CM said, buy a smaller bottle first. The first bottle I got, I used it for both cleanses and leave-in for 3 weeks. By that time, my hair was starting to get protein overload (straw). I backed off to once a week with good results, but I'm not ready to commit to a gallon.

Ignore any of the naysayers that say it is too expensive - if you are already using a product you are already aware of pricing and the results you get.
Now, I have similar hair and get fantastic results with 613. I only wash my hair 2x a week, sometimes 3, and try to use 613 at least once a week or once every 2 weeks. I treat it more as a treatment than a normal cleanse. If your hair is handling the protein of the seasonals well than your hair should be fine with 613 - however since you have not used it I would also agree to not purchase the gallon.
Instead, I would suggest trying out the set of 613 travel packettes (item #A238231), the fig and 613 set (since you are already using fig anyways this would stock you up for a much cheaper price of around $44 for the 2 16oz bottles, item #A238233) or even the 613 "home & away set" (you get 16oz CC, 4 packettes, 2oz styling creme, & 1.8oz mousse, item #A258093. The styling creme of 613 is my personal favorite especially when used before blow drying & flat ironing my hair).

ITA with CM on all points!
Definitely try a smaller bottle first if you do decide to try it. It would also cost alot to send a gallon back if you don't like it.
