@SurferWife, the TSV will be on Friday March 24, but west coast viewers will see the TSV three hours earlier at 9:00pm on Thursday March 23.

Re: HELP with WEN formulas please!

MOFirmer - I mainly use only the seasonals (with Wen Men, PJP, BGT, 319 and MIF thrown in).  I have thick, wavy hair that tends to be frizzy when I use the hair dryer and don't smooth it with something.  If I air dry, I have lovely waves, but it takes half the day to air dry, LOL. 

 

My texture is probably more fine than coarse, although I have 5 to 6 different hair types on my head and plenty of cowlicks.  It's also color treated - I get highlights about 3 times a year.

 

Of the classics, I always liked Tea Tree and the Lavender.  I know that many have said that Lavender is drying for them, but I never had that issue. 

 

I think those that gave advice regarding POM being a good option, I would agree if you like the seasonals that POM would be close in formula.  I have a hard time getting past the scent of POM because I find it too fruity.  Honestly, for me, I don't notice that much of a difference in performance between all the formulas, so I just go by the scents that I like.  It may be because I cleanse every day that I don't notice much difference.  I alternate between 3 formulas a season - every day is a different formula.  For spring, I have the Lilac, Peony and Cherry Blossom in the rotation, with a Gardenia waiting in the wings.  I also add some 319 to pump up the formula if the consistency seems on the thin side.

 

If you can get some 16 oz sizes, then you could try them out.  If there are some you don't care for, you can mix them with ones that you like to use them up.

Re: HELP with WEN formulas please!

You don't tell us anything about the texture or type of hair you have. But if you're using the seasonals a lot I'd say try Fig because you might need the extra moisture to balance out all the protien in the seasonals.

If you like the seasonals, you may like pomegranate. It is soy based like the seasonals.

Great thinking @Hilary77!  I totaly agree, POM is a good performer for most and smells nice too. I think it's a safe choice. Check out Chaz Dean site for product recommendation for your hair type and condition, and see if POM will come up.

Re: HELP with WEN formulas please!

Goodness!!!  Thank you for the responses ladies!

 I am SO sorry I didn't put my hair type in the above post! I have fine, thin hair.  I did the selector on Chaz's site and it gave me the SAM recommendation as being best. But my hair seemed so greasy with it. 

I like the recommendations of POM and TT.  Smiley Happy  Thank you ladies so much for being so helpful!

Smiley Happy Get one of each! Woman Happy He-he!

I did not like SAM also - left my hair heavy and greasy too. Others love SAM. With Wen, there is the best core CC for everyone! Mine is both - TT and POM.

Re: HELP with WEN formulas please!

Thanks Sonechko!!!  It sounds like I can't go wrong with either TT or POM!!! 

I'm also eyeing the SOB! LOL!  I have the PJP and LOVE it!  And it's sad but I have several seasonals in the closet but I still want more! LOL!

Re: HELP with WEN formulas please!

@MOFirmer, SOB is a wonderful spring scent! Since you have not try many Wen formulas yet, my suggestion would be to shoot for Chaz new Spring formula - Spring Cherry Blossom. It just because he formulates better and better, and each new one is better than older formulas.

 

Of course, if during Chaz visit, there will be a 16 oz Variety Trio of Spring CCs - here we go! You can try Wen entire Spring Collection at good price! Smiley Happy

 

Same with Summer seasonals, and so on.....

 

In December Chaz brings us a variety of 5 CCs - in core, and seasonal also, maybe restorative too. This is a chance to try as many as 15 different CCs at TSV prices, if you buy three different TSVs.

Re: HELP with WEN formulas please!

@MOFirmer I agree with those recommending Tea Tree and POM, based on ability to grow hair (TT) and a good protein for you (POM). I don't think many people have difficulty using TT regardless of the difference in protein because it is just so good for our scalps. If you have any gray, the TT will help it stay silver/white and not yellowed. It will also help it stay moisturized and not resistant to Styling. 

 

My face is one one that does not like 613. However, it does love Bamboo Green Tea which is in the restorative line but has a tad less protein. The BGT and the Light CC are both rice-based. 

 

Happy Wenning!
