@GingerPeach, thanks so much for the heads up, but I'm not sure what you are referring to. Below I've copied and pasted the first four posts from the Wen Abbreviations Glossary.
Is this what you are seeing when you click on the link?
Thanks!!

WEN ABBREVIATIONS GLOSSARY
___
Message #1
The Wen abbreviations are listed in alpha sequence by product and then by scent. This is followed by some general information about the various Wen scents. I want to acknowledge the information provided by JeanLouiseFinch, okiebug and valleygirl22 which I used in compiling this glossary. -- I haven't updated the information since August 2014, so it doesn't have the latest product abbreviations. I'll be updating this information in the next month.

-
Note: I think that the very popular Honey Complex, as well as the 4-Tea Complex, has been added to some of the Seasonal beginning with Summer Honey Peach (SHP).
-
* Note: each new Seasonal is generally only available for the three-month initial season when it was first introduced. -- Because Wenners get so attached to their favorite seasonals, this past year Chaz has been experimenting with "opening up" the Wen Seasonals closet, on a season by season basis. For each season, a limited quantity of the prior Seasonals (for that season) have been brought back. And when they're gone, they're really gone. So order sooner rather than later.
-
* Note: For the first time this June, Chaz has made four Seasonal scents available during June Wen Gallons Month: one for each season. He seems to have selected the most popular Seasonal for each season. -- It's too soon to know if the Seasonals will become a staple for June Wen Gallons Month, but they seem to be a welcome addition to the Wen gallons line.
-
Note: Additionally, for the past few December TSVs, Seasonals have been a part of the mix. The Wen December TSV generally includes (5) 16oz. Cleansing Conditioners and has been priced at $80 for the past few years. This past December, Chaz included a Seasonal TSV which included FGP, WVM, SMC, SOB & SHP -- They have been among the the most popular Seasonal scents.

just a few suggestions :
add Texture Balm (TB) to product list
add 11 amino acids (something Chaz likes to emphasize) to 613 daily cleansing treatment description
@bruingirl, thank you so much for noticing that. lol, every so often I take a look through the list to see if there's something that I've forgotten. Somehow I knew there's been something missing but I couldn't figure out what it was. I don't use the Texture Balm and there aren't many threads on it, so it completely slipped my mind.
I just did a complete update late last night and added additional info to the Wen Abbreviations Glossary. -- bruingirl, if you have some time over the next week, I'd really appreciate it if you could take a look at it and offer any suggestions for updates.
Chaz provides us with wonderful products and so I want the info to do him justice.
Thanks for suggesting the 11 amino acid complex because Chaz really does emphasize it. -- I'll also make sure it's reflected in the listings for the Seasonals, Restorative line, and Wen Men.
Thanks again!!

Thank you everyone for weighing in on this. The clear favorite is the simple FF for the new rice-based Fragrance Free cleansing conditioner, so that's the acronym that I've added to the Wen Abbreviations Glossary.

@bebe777 I didn't want to start a new thread but I wanted to tell you that I really like the rice based fragrance free formula. I love the consistency of this formula and it mixes well with other Wen formulas. This is definitely a formula that I will use again. I still haven't used the MIF except for the travel packet that I used but would imagine that I will also really like this formula also.

Thanks for posting, Susan! I have been using a 32 oz FF for the last several months to help out other formulas that my hair never used to love. I used up a 32 oz LAV this way and am close to finishing a 16 oz SGGT...I still have half the bottle left and it is helping me get great results while mixing nicely with these formulas!

@Susan25, YAY!!! I'm so glad that you finally tried the new Fragrance Free (FF) CC in the restorative line. I just knew that you'd like it.
As I've mentioned before, Mandarin Italian Fig (MIF) and it's Fragrance Free twin have become my new first cleanse "go to's". -- lol, now you need to try the MIF.
btw, I mentioned to @Wen_Woman in another post that the new 319 CC is getting rave reviews from some of the Wenners who love MIF and CC. -- @HSB1204, is going to keep reminding me to try it... until I do finally try it at the end of next week.
If I like the 319 CC as much as MIF/FF CC, then I'm going to have to quickly figure out how many December 2015 Restorative TSVs to order for my upcoming second shipment.

@bebe777 I also really want to try the 319 and since I am on auto delivery for 613 I will try to change it to 319. If not I would probably cancel it since I really don't need any additional 613 but would probably use the 319 more often.
I also imagine that if the December tsv restorative line is similar to last year's tsv I would purchase it. I may also purchase the seasonal December tsv depending on which formulas are offered. It doesn't make sense for me to purchase the December tsv if I won't use most of the formulas that are featured. Of course, many Wenners may also gift some of the items in the December tsv.
