Sorry to ask yet another question but I was playing around with the product recommendation at Chaz's site and I keep getting Fig as my top recommendation. Probably because I have thick curly hair even if it's not coarse. Does anyone use this? It doesn't seem to be one of the hotter cleansing creams. TIA.

Lots of us use it. If your hair is on the dry side, use FIG. I have fine hair, but the ends are dry, so I use FIG on my length.

I have thick curly hair but it's fine. I tried fig once, but it was too heavy for me. I think if your hair is course, it might work really well for you.

FIG is great for dry hair! A lot of us use it. {#emotions_dlg.thumbup}

I think the key to all CC - WEN in general- is to rinse, rinse, rinse! Your water bill may go up a little but it's worth it. Also, I have an adjustable shower head. So I dial it down to water saving mode while I rub and twist and need a little extra water to make it froth. Then I turn it back up to get a good rinse.

I have finer hair and have a new found appreciation for Fig. I don't use it all the time but more now than I used to.

Thank you everyone. I think I'm going to stick with the 613 for the times when I want extra hydration. Thank you for saving my credit card. Smiley Happy

I have extremely thick, coarse, dry hair. Fig is so wonderful for my hair. A lot of people seem to be put off by the scent but not me even though I'm really sensitive to scents. I find myself running my fingers through my hair because it is so soft. I use very little in the way of product. A bit of the cc as a leave in with then a bit of styling cream mixed with a tiny bit of the SOB treatment oil. I have a lot of natural body so don't require much as my hair is short. Love the fig. I've recently added TT after reading what ladies have written here. Use it sometimes as a first or second cleanse but the fig us my primary go to. Don't want to be without that ever. Good luck

I've always been under the impression that Fig is actually one of the more popular CCs. I have fine very wavy/curly hair and LOVE it for the moisture. Not too heavy and it just makes my hair look luscious, bouncy and shiny. I'm not sure what in this thread dissuaded you, but I would give it a try. The only negative thing I've consistently heard about fig is that most don't love the scent. It does grow on you, but for most it's not love at first sniff. People are always on the forums begging Chaz to develop another formula as moisturizing as fig, but in a different scent. Good luck!

I might be out of the ordinary, but Fig didn't work as well for me as some of the other formulas. It should be right because I have very thick, coarse, loosely curly hair, but it was a bit too heavy. I use TT for my first cleanse and a seasonal for my second.

It's all a matter of trial and error, I think. If there is still a set of the small sizes in every formula, that's a good place to start so you can experiment.

Fig and Pom were my first CC purchases and I still love them. I have found that it is best to mix scents with each cleanse.

Do I need more CC now, no. But I want to take advantage of the other goodies, so I am getting 2 TSVs. I can switch formulas. I have found that I save money by buying the TSVs because I use Chaz's other styling products.

If I had to choose one CC, Fig would be it! I personally love the scent.
