Wen Chat-April

Hilary77 — Tue, 01 Apr 2014 15:43:05 GMT

Well, since it is April 1st, I thought I would start a chat thread for April. I thought about making an April fool's joke like saying there would be a summer mango coconut gallon in June, but that would have made some people really mad, lol!! Anyways, I hope everyone has a great month. I am looking forward to all the Wen chat this month. Chat away ladies and gents!!

Hi.... I am trying to understand why everybody gets so excited about love, love, loving a fragrance that goes down the drain and has no effect on hair? I saw a blip where Chaz was even explaining his inspiration for one of the scents. Does that really interest anybody? I love for products to have a fragrance, but, since it doesn't last, I would never buy one just for the fragrance. I only buy for results. I use Wen all the time, but would just like to understand the emphasis on fragrance rather than ingredients.

I do find Chaz's inspiration interesting - that kind of art is certainly not in my DNA and I enjoy hearing his process. I don't think anyone puts scent ahead of ingredients or performance.

It's just fun to have a new scent to "play" with, speculate about, etc. I don't use the seasonals, but I still enjoy the discussions and the anticipation.

I love all the new scents. It keeps it interesting. However, I do put performance ahead of scent. I don't really care for the scent of tea tree that much, but it performs well. I use it everyday. The seasonal scents don't work well for me, but I do enjoy the seasonal scents in the oils and mists.

I don't care so much about his own inspiration, but scent is really important to him and it is to me. As one of the senses with the strongest links to memory, the scent experience is very powerful. I don't even buy body wash, hand soap, or lotion from the drugstore unless I can smell it first and I've been that way as long as I can remember.

I take long showers and want that scent experience to be pleasurable. I don't mind that a fragrance doesn't last once I step outside the shower because that allows me to change my scent experience by applying a favorite perfume, oil, or going without any additional fragrance, depending on my mood and my allergies. If I love a WEN scent that doesn't work as my cleanser, I'll buy it in the other products or use it in other ways. Likewise, if a WEN formula works for me, but isn't my favorite scent (Fig... blah), I'll still use it, but mix it with scents I prefer.

I love trying new scents! I'm new to WEN and enjoying trying all the different formulas. BUT, I won't use something just for scent that isn't also working on my hair.

Although I enjoy Chaz's stories, they are not that important. However, my long baths and showers are sanity for me and I really look forward to whatever scents I will use in my bath and shower on skin and hair. If a formula is really bad for me, I won't use it, but I will make changes in my routine for one formula to help it along, as it were - if it is not the most moisturizing, i.e. WCM, which I really love the scent of. I would also say that I am not unconcerned with ingredients, but I do not worry too much about what is in WEN unless there is a particular ingredient I do not want to use. I have learned more than I ever knew about ingredients since I started using WEN.

I used the Wen kids watermelon today for my first cleanse followed by the spring orange blossom. I cannot keep my hands out of my hair!!!!! I will probably be buying another gallon of Wen kids watermelon this year.

Does anyone know what the new 613 product will be in June??? The suspense is killing me!!!

Re: Wen Chat-April

bebe777 — Wed, 02 Apr 2014 23:13:50 GMT

Today was kind of cold and overcast, but I always love the start of spring. Crocus are pushing their way up through the snow. April's daffodils will soon be here. hmmm seems like everything old is New New New NEW new new New New again, as GF says. Things are popping up everywhere, so you just have to keep your eyes peeled and know where to look. It's so inspiring. There's been a lot of rain recently, but that's a good sign that spring is finally on the way!! Until it's sunnier, I'll probably be using my Brown self tanner to give my skin a nice tan. lol, hopefully, the cherry blossoms will be here soon!! Spring brings great things!!!

Spring is in the air!!!

Hilary, a certain horse has been sniffing about and it seems as though there may be a lovely vanilla/rosemary/lemony scent fragrance in the air. -- It's not confirmed, but...

Let's hope!!!

okiebug, I'm with you on this. Because Chaz is so genuine and authentic, I get really interested in knowing more about his process.

Our skin is a very permeable organ and so, indirectly, the very cells of my body are being affected by the decisions Chaz makes about the ingredients he puts into his Wen products. I really feel that who he is -- and he has great integrity -- does affect the products he produced... all in a very positive way. And I'm very grateful for that.

I believe in the concept of homeopathy. Bach formulas do affect my mood in a positive way. So I'm really grateful that Chaz takes his job so seriously and with such careful consideration.

Like yourself, I use the formulas that work for me. And I so enjoy playing around with the various scents and having my wen spa shower moments. It makes me feel special and it makes me happy!!! And it's just so much darned fun!!

And I love the speculation and anticipation too. It's like an ongoing treasure hunt that we all get to participate in. lol, it's more fun than a barrel of monkeys!!! Wheee!!!

I've actually found that most of the scents stay with my hair all day. Sometimes I even mix the stronger smelling formulas with CA to mellow them out a bit. I'm pretty sensitive to fragrances though.

I think that Chaz typically uses ingredients that compliment or match the fragrance he is trying to achieve. For example...in the Spring Orange Blossom CC there is Orange Flower extract, Ruby Red Grapefruit Extract, and Meyer Lemon Fruit Extract. He seems to be just as focused on performance as he is on the fragrances themselves.

Does anyone know what Wen products will be offered for the Beauty with Benefits event??

Re: Wen Chat-April

HappyMaui — Sun, 06 Apr 2014 07:18:40 GMT

I've discovered how much I really like the 613 styling creme. Looking forward to the next few months of maybe a special TSV or OTO and then June! yes the return of the gallons, can't wait. Almost done with my Fig 2nd gallon and watermelon gallon, gonna get a Tea Tree this year for sure.

Having a fur baby myself I really enjoy the photos and videos of the pups. BTW, can anyone tell me what that great floor tile is in the house? The grey striated looking tile - My DH thinks it might be marble? Looks great.

Cheers All!

Hilary, it's really odd but the Beauty with Benefits event is only two weeks away and QVC still hasn't begun to promote it (even that link had not been listed). I had to do a search to cobble together the info that I came up with. You may want to check out some of the info in this WEN on Beauty with Benefits tonight thread. If you want to do some sleuthing you may be able to come up with some more info.
