Lavender or Tea Tree?

jlzmom — Sat, 15 Mar 2014 22:46:36 GMT

I've already ordered the Bamboo TSV, but I'm on the fence about possibly ordering another. I have fine, thin hair, but lots of it. I've heard that both the Lavender and the Tea Tree are good for volume. Which one should I get?

By the way, I'm going back to Wen. I haven't used it in a while. I loved it, but stopped because of the price. Todays deal is too good not to pass up!

Thanks so much!! ~JJ

Welcome back to Wen!!

Personally, I think TT is a great complement to BGT. I have fine hair and a lot of it, as well, although it's not thin. TT has so many amazing benefits - I don't think you can go wrong with it.

Tea tree is more moisturizing with volume. Lavender is not as moisturizing as tea tree, but gives my hair more volume. The lavender smells better than tea tree to me. If you need moisture, go for tea tree. If you don't need the extra moisture and like tons of volume, go for lavender.

I've never heard this mentioned before on WEN presentations, but thought it was very interesting this time around: Chaz has been saying the Lavender is better for volume if you have fine hair but a lot of it. He then said for fine thin hair, Tea Tree works better for volume--- which has been my personal experience!! LAV did nothing for my fine, thinning hair but TT is the BOMB BABY!!!

I have fine hair and a ton of it. That is probably why lavender gives me so much volume. When I use tea tree for the first cleanse and lavender for the second cleanse, I get great results.

I have both. TT is my fav. I use it almost every time I cleanse. Lav can be a bit drying for my hair, but only if it is all I use to cleans.

Wow! It looks like TT is the winner!! Thanks for all the input! Do you all think that the Bamboo was a good choice?

Yes!! I bought 2 last visit of the 16 oz w/the RTM & cannot wait to put it back in my rotation w/TT. I am trying to use my one POM up - that one is not my fav. TT is my #1 followed by SAM & BGT. Good choice!! : )

Oh, for sure! I always use the Bamboo (with one pump of TT) for my first cleanse, and often as a second cleanse just because I love it so much. It's a wonderful formula!

I've consistently used lavender until recently. Now tea tree is my fav. I have thin long hair but it looks so thick.

I haven’t used BGT very long to say one way or the other on what effect it has on my hair. However TT and Lav have a much stronger smell IMO. So if you like the smell it’s great. TT is my favorite scent so far. BGT has a more subtle elusive smell which makes it my second fav for scents.

I have bought Cucumber Aloe, 6/13, Fall Apple Spice (hubby fav), Gardenia something ( I don’t recall) Sweet Almond Mint, Tea Tree, Lavender and Bamboo Green Tea.

Yup - that is my experience as well. (Fine, thin, dry hair for me.)

jp926, I'm so glad you mentioned this. Lisa Robertson said this a few times during the midnight hour and I was surprised that I was hearing this for the first time because I've been using Wen for over three years.

I have thin/fine hair (and *not* a lot of it). While I loved how the LAV smelled, didn't give my hair body or volume. It was also a bit drying on my hair (probably because of the witch hazel in it).

jlzmom, I would suggest the TT because it's a really safe place to start. Most of the people on this board incorporate the TT into their cleansing routine, and can't think of the last time I heard a complaint about it (except that it doesn't smell as nice as the LAV). -- Someone recently started a thread on TT which might be of interest to you:

Shocked! Tea Tree is my new fav!
