I found the BGT made my hair feel drier than the POM as well. I have a 32oz that I just got. I've used it a few times, mixed with 613, alone, and mixed with SHP and am not impressed.

Mine was part of the March TSV set and I really like the 613 products and the BGT made my older daughter hair look awesome, otherwise I would have sent it back.

If it were me with the gallon of BGT getting these results I would send it back

I really hate I missed the March TSV..it sounds like it would have been perfect since I'm still itching to try the 613 styling products and adore BGT. Oh well.

I love my WEN too and won't switch, been using it to long but my hair does really good with TT and POM - for some reason those seem to be the only two my hair stays hydrated and nice with. Seasonals and the new BGT make my hair look like straw and so does the 613. I hate to ship back a gallon....urg. I wonder if I can do an exchange or if it's just to late for that.

I would call CS..I bet they'll be more than willing to help you out.

BGT has a lot of protein. Does your hair feel like straw?

You may need to alternate a more moisturizing formula, as opposed to giving up your BGT.

YES! and normally it doesn't feel that way. I LOVE the smell but I have hair to the middle of my back that I wash daily. Not sure I want a Gallon of something I can't use that often.

Maybe that's it, maybe there is to much protein in it and making my hair dry. I guess I could just use it on my scalp area but I hate having a whole gallon of something I can't use daily.

POM & SAM I am able to use daily. Sometimes SAM feels drying too.....

I do use the TT oil on my scalp 2-3 times a week and the SAM oil on the rest of my hair 2-3 times a week.

Like Doxie, once my hair got healthy, I didn't need to use the protein formulas as frequently. I use 613 once a week. My hair is now telling me to back off of SHP.

I think you should keep the gallon, but use BGT less.

SAM is drying for you. Question: has your hair gotten longer?

Get your flu shot...because I didn't.

I think you are right, I just need to use the protein formulas less - is there a list anywhere of the "protein formulas"?

SAM is not as drying as BGT but POM & TT seem to make my hair feel the most "moist" and less fly away.

My hair is only about 2" or so (maybe less) longer than I "normally" wear it. I go in for a trim next Thursday.

Hilary had a similar problem (SAM being drying) and she hadn't realized how much longer her hair had gotten. She increased the pumps she used to cleanse, and that solved her problem.

The protein formulas are 613, BGT and the seasonals. There are lists all over the board, so I'm sure someone can point you to a more substantial listing.

Cust. service said that I CAN return but not Exchange. Another words I can return but I will have to re-order the other Scent in I wanted another gallon.

Decisions.......

and if I did return it, I would have to choose between TT and POM for my gallon, I just used my last gallon on POM so I was ready for a change, that's why I got BGT

Treeinwind · ‎03-12-2010

I would go ahead and keep the BGT if you love the scent and every few cleanses use your POM or another formula with it. I used Fig and BGT yesterday and it felt like it had much more moisture without losing any of the BGT shine. The gallons are such a good deal I would sure keep that BGT at that price.

After reading so many threads, it is clear that some CCs work differently for some even if they both like the same (other) CCs. I used BGT for the first time this morning, and I liked it. I used some SMC and fig with it during the 2nd cleanse. I have the Dove Ultimate solid deodorant in the green cap (from that big store that begins with a C) which is the cucumber and green tea scent. BGT smells very similar to this. I have the March TSV so I can bump up more when I order for the second and third cycles.

Personally, I do not like SAM. It makes my hair like straw.
