Which Scent? Ordering TSV- BGT?

New to WEN. I have chin length, thick, fairly coarse, color treated (at home natural instincts, etc) hair, with a ton of natural volume. I frequently style with a curling iron. I do not like to wash my hair often, maybe 2x a week. I would say my hair tends to be kind of oily at the roots but can be dry at the ends.

I think BGT sounds like a nice scent, do you think that would be okay? Cucumber Aloe sounds like it doesn't smell very nice and I don't want expensive shampoo that stinks. Fig, I'm thinking it will be too heavy? I wish the new orange blossom was part of this upcoming tsv, it sounds lovely.

If you are dry at the ends BGT might be too drying for you. Opinions seem to vary on BGT. You might do well with TT on your scalp to help normalize your oil production and SAM for your Ilength. It is good for thick and heavy hair.

I too have oily roots and dry-ish length. Super fine textured hair, but naturally frizzy and GOBS of it. Mid-back length. I actually *like* the Cucumber Aloe formula. The smell (to me) is not unpleasant at all. (But scent it SUCH a personal preference thing.) More so than some of the other formulas I've tried, it leaves my hair feeling truly clean, but still super well conditioned. Lovely tingly/cooling scalp thing. Love that! LOL.

Anything with the word "cucumber" makes me think of Nair, which has that cucumber scent that turns nasty after the chemical reaction or whatever it is that happens. So anyway, I hesitate to go with Cucumber Aloe based on that. But I'm sure the sent is actually okay.

Sweet Almond sounds nice too.

This is hard.

Okay, just ordered SAM. Hope I made the right choice. Ideally I'll love WEN and get it all figured out in time to order the gallon in June.
