I recently got the POM TSV and I love love love the PUM! I also like the POM, but it's not love like the PUM. I purchased separately the TT as I have oily, fine hair and I didn't love the CA either so TT sounded like it might help with the oilies. All I can say is ew ew ew! After washing with the TT I was convinced I must not have rinsed long enough and went back in and rewashed. Again oily, nasty roots within 4 hours. I'm probably going to send it back but just wanted to know if this is common for TT or if I might be doing something wrong. I used it the same as the POM and PUM, about 12 pumps of the 32 oz for hair mid neck length and very fine. Added water, let it "bloom" and then let sit for a few minutes.

I ended up having to wash with shampoo today because it was so oily and I really dislike how my hair feels, even though I conditioned with WEN because I've been using the WEN for about 1 week and I really like the results. My hair is a lot more shiny and manageable. I did notice after a few days my roots seemed heavy when using the POM and PUM but nothing like I experienced with the TT. I have bald spots on my temples (been there for years, not from WEN) and I was hoping the TT might help me grow a little more hair but the oily, heaviness makes it unwearable. Is this just the difference between the wheat and soy bases? I've used the sample size of the CA and I may try again as I learned about "blooming" after finishing it but my ends were still a little crispy with it and with the PUM and POM they are not.

I also wanted to add my $0.02 on hair loss with WEN. I was considering WEN for a long time and decided against it because of the threads on hair loss in addition to not thinking it could really work. Because of the threads on hair loss and knowing I had the TSV coming, I started really paying attention to how much hair I would lose in each shower. The amount did not change from regular shampoo to WEN, but had I not paid attention to how much I was losing with regular shampoo I would have been really alarmed if I just started noticing it after starting WEN and reading the threads.
