Change Tea Tree scent? or TT mixing

gemslily — Fri, 24 Mar 2017 16:55:58 GMT

I am having a really hard time with the tea tree CC scent. Has anyone ever added in any of the WEN oils to a CC to help make a scent more bearable? Or will this totally alter the CC performance?

Otherwise, I guess I will just have to find another CC to mix with it that is compatable in scent. Any suggestions?

TT is the black of Wen. It goes with everything in small doses.

It mixes well with SAM, LAV, CA, FIG, BGT, AND GREEN LABEL SEASONALS

I use TT every time I wash my hair, because until Wen, I always had a problem with my scalp breaking out. I mix TT with SAM and Lavender to make my own special cc. Find what other cc works for you and just add a small amount (maybe one or two pumps) of TT and see if that makes a difference for you.

When I was new to Wen I used TT as a first cleanse, then LAV or a seasonal for my 2nd cleanse and leave in. Now I can use TT all the way and don't mind it. I still prefer seasonal scents over cores.

@gemslily, @VaBelle35 gave you great suggestions. -- In particular, for me, Bamboo Green Tea (BGT) and Spring Gardenia Green Tea (SGGT) have softened the TT scent.

Also, several people have mentioned that mixing the TT and POM OILS (not CCs) together helped to cancel out the less pleasant scents of each (lol, though I love the POM oil scent). -- So maybe POM CC would also work well with the TT CC. I think it would probably work (I've tried all of the various Wen CCs).

@gemslily If you add enough oil to change the scent, I'm thinking you'd end up with very oily hair! Try mixing it with other CC's instead....though you are still going to smell that Tea Tree scent at least a little bit.

Don't know how long you've been using it, but I found I didn't really mind the scent after awhile and--at least for me--it doesn't linger once my hair is dry.

I love the TeaTree fragrance, but have blended it with BGT, 613, and/or WRC.

They're all fresh, clean scents so I think blend better than with florals, sweets, or foodie smells.
Just one pump of 613 per a 'golfball' of TeaTree will enhance performance while softening TT fragrance for me.

Agree w @vermint. I'll add oil to the leave-in, but not to the cleanse.

I cannot use tea tree either....very overwhelming in scent. Just use another oil...they all are benefical.

@gemslily I agree with all of the other posters. Tea tree takes a bit of time to get used to but it is one of the best Wen core formulas to use on a regular basis. I always have some TT cc and TT oil on handd.

You can always just use TT to cleanse your scalp and then another favorite or two to cleanse shaft and ends.

@gemslily I use TT Styling and VTS when I use Wen Men just not to buy WM other than CC. I only smell the Wen Men in my hair though I have never mixed the CC's, esp since WM is rice based. So that's another combo you can try.

Thanks all for the suggestions!

I don't know what I was thinking when I mentioned adding oils to change the CC scent. With fine hair I'm sure that would be a disaster.

I fgure someday I will get to a point like other WEN users where I will actually enjoy the TT scent and welcome the freshness on certain days.

So far, I have mixed it with WVM. And plan on trying it with WEN Men and WCM.

I'm getting there - maybe I found a core CC I can use!

Thanks again!

@gemslily You may want to try mixing your Tea tree with Spring gardenia green tea, it's my favorite combo. Anyway , TT does grow on you and you may actually find with regular use you actually start to enjoy the scent.

That's what I do. I also find the WEN Tea Tree scent to be pretty pleasant though. Straight up tea tree oil is powerful and I hate it, so I'm always pleasantly surprised by WEN Tea Tree.

Please do not change the Tea Tree scent! It's heavenly in its own right, it smells herbal, medicinal and healing, and this is exactly what I want and expect from this specific CC and TT oil. And yeah, I can mix and turn down its smell, when not in the mood for it.

@sonechko I do agree with you and like the TT scent also. However, as I have learned, it can be an "acquired taste" for some. Lol

I did not like it right away either, @AmericanBulldogMom!

Hi,

TT oil is really strong smelling ,but I love it because of the anti bacterial, anti fungal, and overall scalp health properties it has. Before using WEN, I would always add a few drops of TTO to my shampoos, or I would buy TTO shampoo. Since using WEN, I always add in a pump or two to my other WEN CCs for my first cleanse, again for the therapeutic qualities of TT. Honestly, I do NOT think adding in any of the WEN oils will be strong enough to camoflauge the TTO smell. I think you would be wasting your oil. Try just adding a pump or two, in your hand, alomg with another WEN CC. I love TT and Lavender together, but I have pretty much added TT to every WEN CC I have. As it is just kn the first cleanse, you can enjoy a NON TT fragrance on your second cleanse.
