Wen - Summer Mango Coconut - how does it work for you? -- CC, RTM, Oil & EDP

[ Edited ]

 

 

This Seasonal scent thread is for an open ended discussion of all things Summer Mango Coconut (SMC).

 

Since most the archived Seasonals threads show up in the Beauty forum, I thought it would be helpful to set up a separate thread for each of the Summer Seasonals. This way Wenners who haven't tried certain Seasonals can get a better sense as whether or not they want to purchase them. 

 

Some of the questions folks have about the Seasonal Cleansing Conditioners include:

 

* what is the scent like

* what is the performance like, especially for particular hair types 

* how moisturizing is it 

* does it dry out your hair and, if so, how much 

* does if give your hair extra volume 

* is it good for curly hair

 

I'm less clear about what questions people have about the styling products. Smiley Happy

This is a bit more general information about the Seasonals from Wen 101...

 

 

___

 

Amino Acid Complex & Extra Skin Care Ingredients

 

* All the Seasonals add Chaz's 11 amino acid complex (to give your hair more protein) and additional skin care ingredients to your hair. 613 is the most concentrated (to quote Chaz: "Wen on steroids"). -- If you already have a healthy head of hair or if you have thick/coarse hair, then use 613 sparingly at first. To a lesser extent, this applies to all the cleansing conditioners which contain the amino acid complex. If you have one of these hair types and you use the amino acid cleansing conditioners too frequently, your hair may start to feel like straw or even get brittle and start to break. Your hair is made of protein. Depending on your hair type, too much protein may not be a good thing. -- Generally it's great for baby fine, damaged hair... like mine. My hair can't get enough of it.

 

Note: these ingredients are also in the following cleansing conditioners -- 613 / Bamboo Green Tea (BGT) / Mandarin Italian Fig (MIF) / (rice-based) Fragrance Free (FF) / Wen Men

 

 

 

____

Seasonal Cleansing Conditioners

 

The very popular Honey Complex, which is the most moisturising Wen honey complex for the hair, was added to the Summer Honey Peach (SHP). -- Some of the newer Seasonals (FTP, SCLV & WWC / waiting for info on SHL), Wen Men, MIF, and FF (but not BGT) have included hydroxypropyltrimonium honey in their ingredients decks. -- The 613 Cleansing Conditioner has a honey extract in it's ingredients deck.

 

* Beginning with the Summer Honey Peach (SHP), going forward, the 4-Tea Complex has been added to some of the Seasonals. The 4-Tea Complex is also in the Restorative line Cleansing Conditioners (BGT, MIF, and FF), as well as Wen Men Cleansing Conditioner.

 

each new Seasonal is generally only available for the three-month initial season when it was first introduced. -- Because Wenners get so attached to their favorite Seasonals, beginning in September 2014, Chaz has been experimenting with "opening up" the Wen Seasonals closet, on a season by season basis. For each season, a limited quantity of the prior Seasonals (for that season) have been brought back. And when they're gone, they're really gone. So order sooner rather than later.

 

No new Seasonals this yearThe full range of Seasonals will be available from September 2015 through August 2015, but after that some Seasonals will be retired: Seasonals - which are your favorites & which will be retired?

 

For the second time, Chaz has made a  few Seasonal scents available during June Wen Gallons Month. For June 2016, he chose Summer Mango Coconut (SMC) and Summer Honey Peach (SHP). -- While Summer Coconut Lime Verbena (SCLV) is available this summer, it is not avaiable in the gallon size. -- Going forward, it looks as though Chaz will be offereing "select" Seasonal gallons at some point during their respective seasons. 

 

Additionally, for the past few December TSVs, Seasonals have been a part of the mix. The Wen December TSV generally includes (5) 16oz. Cleansing Conditioners and has been priced at $80 for the past few years (Chaz is holding the price at $80 this year -- Thank you, Chaz!). 

 

The December 5th, 2015 TSV included three different options: 

 

* Seasonal TSV (FGP, WVM, SHP, SHL, & SCLV)

* Classics TSV (SAM, TT, FIG, LAV & POM) 

* Restorative TSV (2-BGT, 2-MIF, & 1-FF)

Re: Wen - Summer Mango Coconut - how does it work for you? -- CC, RTM, Oil & EDP

[ Edited ]

 

I have baby fine hair and all the Seasonals work equally well for my hair. -- I'm a rice-based Restoratives (first cleanse), every single Seasonal (second cleanse), Wen Men and all 613 product leave-in kind of Wen girl.

 

While I really like the Wen Seasonals, the spring floral scents are my favorites and the summer fragrances tend to rate at the other end of my list. 

 

I've only tried the Summer Seasonal Cleansing Conditioners. I haven't tried any of the related styling products.

 

Summer Mango Coconut (SMC), Summer Honey Peach (SHP), Winter Vanilla Mint (WVM), and Fall Apple Spice (FAS) seem to be among the formulas that provide your hair with added moisture (from what I've read from other Wenners). -- Among those, Summer Honey Peach (SHP) seems to provide the most moisture and it's the only Cleansing Conditioner (CC) that has the Four Honey Complex in it. -- Most Wenners feel that Fig (FIG) in the Classic line provided the most added moisture.

 

The Summer Mango Coconut (SMC) is a fun beachy scent. It smells just like a pina colada. -- If any of you have tried Andrew Lessman's Pina Colada Secure Meal Replacement, it smells exactly like that. Smiley Happy

 

I don't use it that much but, ironically, I tend to use it more in the colder months to put me in a summer fun mood. Smiley Happy

Re: Wen - Summer Mango Coconut - how does it work for you? -- CC, RTM & Oil

SMC is good for me and very moisturizing.  It's nice and stable in the hands while cleansing.  I pump into my hand and then rub hands together and then apply.  I feel this gets it distributed the best way.  To me it smells like fresh cookie dough but in a good way.  It's a pleasant smell, not harsh.  Again, I'm not sure about the curly hair thing but it really is hydrating for me.    The RTM is WONDERFUL for me.  I use it alot.  I use it as a perfume too.  It lasts for hours on me.  I just spritz it like I would any EDP.  MMMMM, I love the smell.  In fact, I got the ODO they had the other day.  I got it in SMC.  They had the choice of that or peach or CLV.  I would've gotten CLV but I have all things in that already but I ran out of the SMC so I got that one.  It works really great for me.  I hope Chaz keeps it around.  Hi bebe!  XO

Sorry to post twice, I wanted to try to help.  I feel the really most moisturizing flavors are Peach and Lilac.  Those two are on the top with hydration.  I like both scents but I like some scents better.  These two though are top, TOP hydration. xo

Re: Wen - Summer Mango Coconut - how does it work for you? -- CC, RTM & Oil

I have curly hair and SMC is my favorite seasonal next to FAS (may she RIP).  

 

It is the one and only seasonal I always make sure to buy when her season comes around.  Extremely moisturizing if you have dry or coarse hair and it smells just like suntan lotion to put you in the beach mood.    

 

Other seasonals I could take them or leave them but this is the only one that is worth the extra money to me to buy alone.

Re: Wen - Summer Mango Coconut - how does it work for you? -- CC, RTM & Oil

Love this thread @bebe777!  The scent of SMC is okay. I smell slightly more mango than coconut. I find it very moisturizing for my long hair. When I air dry without any products I have not so cute waves. When I apply SC, GS, and VTS immediately after cleansing and air dry the waves are much nicer. Adding a little mousse and additional VTS gives me great waves. But I digress...

 

I can use a straight SMC cleanse occasionally, but if I do it daily it weighs down my hair. I can use SMC mixed with POM or MIF, or SAM o a regular basis with great success. SMC is a great leave in if I've used more drying CCs for my cleanses.

 

While I appreciate the scent and performance of SMC, my man hates it! Therefore, I cannot bring any of the ancillary products into the house.  Oddly enough, he loves the scent of FAS.  😜

Re: Wen - Summer Mango Coconut - how does it work for you? -- CC, RTM & Oil

SMC is my favorite seasonal. I have thin fine hair that is usually kind of dry since I have highlights. My ends are probably worse since they have bleached highlights. I find SMC to be the most moisturizing seasonal. I can't use it several days in a row or else it starts to weigh down my hair, though.

Re: Wen - Summer Mango Coconut - how does it work for you? -- CC, RTM & Oil

Smc is my second favorite seasonal, behind wvm.  I have fine but dense curly hair at about my shoulders right now, but growing.   I have many ingredients sensitivities so can't use every variety.  I usually use either the rice based ff or 319 for my first cleanse and whatever else for the second.  

 

Smc is very moisturizing for me.   I love the oil and rtm also. I don't go through it as fast as my wvm though.
