Tea Tree really is all that (and a bag of chips)

maryfw — Wed, 31 Dec 2014 17:40:40 GMT

for me. I ran low on TT and with the holiday spending I decided to just use BGT instead. When I began 18 months ago with wen I had a dry flaky scalp and HAD to use TT. It has been months since I have had any flaking or itching, so I thought I would forgo the TT in favor of the abundace of BGT that I have on hand. It did great for the first few weeks but yesterday my scalp starting itching. The good news is that I have an auto delivery coming next week and the other good news is that I realize how great TT is for me. In the past I have used TT exclusively for my first cleanse. I know now that I need to use TT for my first cleanse most days or until I get my scalp back in balance. After that I can probably use it every other cleanse.

Happy New Year fellow wenners.

Same here. I was using Pom and liked it but my scalp was itchy and flaky. I switched to TT and it really did not take long for the flakes and itching to go away. I still need to use up the others that I have but will always order TT from now on. My hair is more manageable, too.

I agree! TT CC is a must-have for me. I use it on my scalp for almost every cleanse (1st & 2nd)....I can't be without it. It keeps my scalp healthy and flake-free!

Yep, it's "all that" for me too. My oily scalp often gets itchy and flaky. I started out using TT & SAM years ago but moved on to other scents for some reason. I went back to TT a few months ago and it helps so much, it makes me wonder why I ever left. I'm using it as my first cleanse every wash now and don't plan to stray from it again for more than one or two washes at a time.

I agree. I love the TT. I never had flaking, but this year, when the cold weather started, my scalp was itchy. I just bought some TT oil and used it. That was the end of the itchiness. Great stuff! I always have the TT cc on hand to mix in with my other cc's. It does make a difference.

Chaz always says Tea Tree is for problem/solution. This is the only Wen product that I really don't like the smell of but the results are great. I have Tea Tree and use it now and then. My problem is that my scalp is extremely oily but with Wen I can go two days without cleansing but not a third day or the oil is right down to the ends and it sticks to my head, it's so oily. I found Lavender is good for "mopping up the oil" but I fell in love with Wen Men.

Tea tree is definitely one of my favorite core cleansing conditioners and I use it often.

Tea tree is a must for me. It is always my first cleanse. I also use the TT oil 2 or 3 times a week as an overnight treatment.

I can't use any of it. I went through a phase and kept buying it. I have a friend who loves the stuff.

I just give it to her. Haven't given her my gallon jug yet, but it's a matter of time.

Yes! I love TT! It works the best for me and leaves my ends actually soft. Been struggling with my hair since I was probably 15 (tends to be dry, wavy, fluffy, was curly for a while) and I don't have any memory of having soft, not crispy-feeling ends... until now! I have been using TT for both cleanses (scalp and length) and have been using the TT styling cream as well. I had been using Pom styling cream up until a couple months ago but my ends are amazing now that I use the TT cream (and push it into the ends). I avoided TT for a while (CC and styling) because I don't love the smell of TT in general, but the smell doesn't linger and results are really great for me!

I've been using lavender for most of my hair washing. Seeing all of your praise for TT, I'm totally trying it this week. I got the 16oz on Amazon, $29 w/free prime shipping.

I agree. I used a packet of the TT that comes in the travel packet set and didn't really pay too much attention to it.

Since Lisa says that TT adds volume, I thought I would try it again when Chaz had his Black Friday sale.

For my hair, Lisa is correct. I do find it volumizing. And volumizing in a better way than Lavender. For my hair, lavender makes my hair hard to style. It's hard to explain, it feels too soft, too frizzy, too unruly.

Me too. TT is a must for me. I still love the Sweet almond mint and the POM, but my top favorites right now are the TT and BGT.

Same here - TT first cleanse always.
