I have fine hair and I love Fig. I especially like it right after I have colored my hair. Love mixing it with some of the other CCs that are too drying alone. BGT is too drying alone, but love it mixed with Fig.

I am a big fan of TT & FIG, they are my core CC's. I love fig because I need the hydration/moisture.

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.

Ladygolightly41, welcome to the Wen forum!!

Actually, Fig has a really devoted following. Most people seem to agree that it's the top formula for added moisture. -- I have thin/fine hair so I use TT, BGT, 613, all Seasonals and CA (FIG weighs my hair down).

In terms of popularity, below is my personal observations on which CCs are most popular:

__

MOST POPULAR

* SAM

* POM

__

VERY POPULAR

* 613

* BGT

* Seasonals

* FIG

* LAV

-- Note: I revised my "very popular" CC listings on 8/31, to include FIG. Thanks again, WenGirl42!!!

DEVOTED SMALLER FOLLOWING

TT -- most of the QVC hosts, Wen models and Wenners on this forum incorporate TT into their routine

Wen Kids Formulas -- adults who don't want menthol in their CCs and Kids

__

SMALLEST BUT DEVOTED FOLLOWING

CA -- most clarifying, great for after swimming, great for teens with oily scalps.

I hope this helps.

I have thick curly hair and I lot of it. I love Fig. The only other ones I have tried are TT (too smelly but I used it again last night as my first cleanse only and I like it better like that) and 613 which I really don't care for. I use it only when I color my hair instead of the packets that come with. I thought about branching out with the TSV today but I stuck with what I know.

I second that! I also love the seasonals.

I would disagree with that assessment. I would say FIG is as or more popular than LAV so I would put it in the Very Popular category. And if you look at today's TSV, FIG is selling better than LAV, POM and SAM. But I would probably also list TEA TREE as very popular; it seems to always be one of the first to sell out.

By the way, I have fine, wavy hair and I use FIG all the time, although always mixed with something -- usually either POM or a seasonal.

WenGIrl42, lol, thanks for proofreading for me. You always catch my typos and it's much appreciated!! My typing skills are sorely lacking.

Actually, I'm happy about my typo because it seems to have started an interesting discussion on how popular the various CCs are.

I just added FIG to the very popular category, followed by the Seasonals and LAV. -- I think that while LAV is less popular on the Wen forum, that it sells well in the overall market. I think that's because while it smells great, that it doesn't actually work on hair as well as some of the other Core formulas. In contrast, while TT is quite popular with those "in the know" (QVC hosts, QVC models and Wenners on this forum), clearly it doesn't sell as well in the overall market. I think that's because the TT scent is something you have to get used to… but, once you do, it's a home run for your hair!!!

I have thin/fine, porous hair. For my first cleanse TT (and more often now 613) are my go-to CCs for my first cleanse. I rotate in BGT and occassionally CA (to clarify my hair). These days I've started using 613 more often for my second cleanse, rotating in BGT and all of the Seasonals. -- My leave-in is an all-613 affair (CC, SC and mousse). My hair could drink the 613 amino acid complex for breakfast, lunch, supper… and a midnight snack.

Unlike you bebe, I have fine, colored (often dry) hair and I find 613 is too much protein for me if I use it to cleanse -- it can dry out my hair. However, I always use it as a leave in. Although occasionally I mix a little in with other cleansers. For me, I need the moisture that FIG provides but I always mix, so it doesn't weigh my hair down. BGT I'm still not sure about but so far it doesn't seem to be a must have for me formula wise -- may need to keep playing with it and find the right combo. I haven't used TT since my first discovery set because I just couldn't stand the scent, but I might need to give that another try (mixed with others to tone the scent down).
