WEN

[jaxs mom]

Thanks @Ms X It's going to take awhile I'm not quite to bra strap yet.

Ok I ordered the SHP gallon, I'll keep my Wen kids AD for now and I'll see what comes out in Fall.

You didn't describe your hair type.  I have dry, curly to unruly/frizzy hair (especially when it needs to be cut).  I liked only Wen fig of the wheat-based CCs.  The seasonals were okay.  In December, I got the rice restoratives in the TSV and found they were more moisturizing and added a lot of shine.  I'll never go back to the others.

I got the 613? (the scented version of the two), but didn't like the fragrance and didn't like how it performed as much as the rice.  I sent it back.

My hair is medium texture, thick and wavy with some spiral curls. It's not dry and I don't have issues with frizz, although I do have a lot of volume. My hair doesn't really like BGT very much, so I haven't bothered trying the MIF and I can only use 613 occasionally. I've used all the core CCs over the years but I don't want to go back to them now.

My hair sounds curlier than yours.  It's all loose spiral curls from top to bottom.  It's about shoulder length, though it's layered shorter in the front and at the top.  I can't get a comb through it if it's all one length.  Wen has really helped me with tangling.  Perhaps bebe or the other experts could advise as to whether the MIF would be different from the BGT.  I didn't find a big difference for me, though.  I just love the shine the rice formula gives me.  I didn't get that with other Wen, so that's another reason why I always recommend it. 

Best of luck growing your hair way long again!

@jaxs mom, regarding what @Ms X mentioned, I find that Mandarin Italian Fig (MIF) is different from every other Wen CC that I have tried.

My original "go to" was Tea Tree, and then I switched to Bamboo Green Tea (BGT) and then I moved on to Mandarin Italian Fig (MIF).

I think the high percentage of bamboo water in the Restorative line is why they work best for me. 

I was all in on MIF the very first time I tried it. -- It was the first time that I could see how a CC could add moisture to my hair. -- You may want to pick up MIF CC up and give it a try because it sounds as though MIF gallons will be available in (maybe) October.

@jaxs mom, YAY!!!

P.S. and maybe check out the Mandarin Italian Fig (MIF).

[Ms X]

Thank you so much for that info, bebe!!!  I will look for the MIF gallons.

[jaxs mom]

@bebe777 Thanks, I'll give some thought to ordering a small bottle to try. I didn't bother before since the BGT didn't really work well for me. Although I do love the scent.

It would be great if the seasonals were offered in sample packs.

My experiences with the seasonals have been hit and miss. I should stick with fig, but I like variety, also.

Have you thought about the FF rice? I get even better results with it than MIF and BGT can be drying for me. I have sensitivities and a ff is a blessing to me. Plus it doesn't clash with my second cleanse.

I can't edit but forgot to add I'm growing back out too. I cut about a foot off last year of non wen hair. So glad to have all wen hair now.

I like the idea of seasonal trial packs, too!!  Great idea.....

I like SHP CC, but I love the mousse!

The mousse in 613 & SHP gives me really nice shine.  I like the shine quality more than the attributes of hold etc, that I get from them. 

I have never bought a styling mousse from another brand that gives me the shine that the WEN does. I have used Redkin and other brands that, if you apply too much makes your hair stiff and absolutely no shine!!  I have blonde highlights so I am pretty happy when my hair has great shine!!  (I use WEN brushes too, which I think helps)

i am anxious to see what Chaz has in store for the date 6/13!  Plus saving up for Fall goodies!  $$$$$
