I bought:

 

3 of the TSV - 2 in Fig and 1 in CA

2 of the 32 oz CC and oil duo in FGP and FVWP

1 set of the Mousse, SC and RTM in FTP

1 set of the 319 Mousse duo

1 set of the RTM duo in FGP

1 of the finishing cream - had tried it years ago but didn't like it at the time.  Now my hair is mostly WEN hair and I'm giving it another shot. 

 

Also, any RTM I had used in the past was core and always my hair like straw - I tried it every which way but finally gave up on it.  Then last June I got an SMC RTM in a kit and it makes my hair really nice.  I'm hoping the seasonal RTM's will work for me now.

 

Hope everyone enjoys their purchases! Looking forward to Chaz returning in October, but kind of scared I'll see more I'll want to buy.  I also thought he looked even more handsome than usual yesterday and his hair looked beautiful.  Smiley Happy

@qtrmoonlady1 I haven't had that much luck with the RTMs either. I find that some are definitely heavier than others. The 613 RTM made my hair feel really greasy and weighed down. I love the SMC scent but that RTM can also feel a little too heavy for my hair. BGT and FIG works better but I still don't see that much of a difference when using the RTM so once I've used up my current stash I don't see myself buying more.

Long time lurker here, 1st ever post.

Hello everyone!

I went crazy with this visit/TSV, impossible to pass up ( along with the ODO's, etc).

My orders:
TSV on A/D in EVERY original/core scent (so 6)
ODO's each in FTP
ODO (style kit) in Tea Tree
Styling creams duo in 613 and 319
Mousse duo in 613 and 319
Glossing serum duo in POM (have SAM so trying POM)

I love and use CA on scalp and TT on length (w/ some mixed on scalp) every 1st cleanse. I have to cleanse my hair daily bc my scalp is (and always has been) oily. I have the oils in every core scent (except CA), 613 and 319. I oil before bed 5 nights a wk (not Fri's and Sat's usually).

Besides the core CC's mentioned above, the other CC's I have tried are 613, 319, BGT, MIF, SHP, FTP and FGP, FVWP.

613: Love the smell, but can only use sparingly bc my hair feels dry after using.
319: Got it bc everyone who didn't like 613 seemed to like this one. Not so for me, same dry results.
BGT: Like smell but not quite moisturizing enough.
MIF: Like smell and works well for me. Contemplating a gallon if ever available.
CA: Have the gallon. Use daily for 1st cleanse bc my scalp is oily and I do oil treatments nightly.
TT: Have the gallon. Love! Use daily for 1st cleanse on length for moisture and mix in some for scalp benefits.
FVWP: Like the performance on my hair but do not care for the smell. I mostly pick up a powdery, perfumy scent which I do not care for. Sandalwood I am not the biggest fan of either and that's a stronger scent in this one too. I also find the scent lasts forever in my hair. If I liked the scent, fine, but that's not the case. Lol! I use bc of performance and will mix in some other CC's with it to cut the scent.
FGP: Performance just mediocre, and scent too spicy/ clove smelling, so not a fan and no reason to use.
SHP: Too powdery/perfumy for me just like FVWP. It lingered in my hair too. Surprisingly, I didn't care for it's performance either as my hair is the type Chaz said it's ideal for.
FTP: Love! Works well on my hair and love the scent. This one is a win and I would buy a gallon of it.

Love all the oils I have and use a different one each time, as they all have different benefits.

I don't have, nor have I ever tried, the remoist hair mask.

So, this TSV was a no brained for me.... I get to try other core CC's I haven't tried, get the oils which I use and love, and get the remoist which I have never tried. On top of all that, I get to try the new seasons for winter and spring ...all at a fantastic price!!

For reference: I am 42, color my roots only every 4wks, and have lots of fine to medium (thanks to the greys) wavy hair. I started WEN in June. When I started my hair was past my bra strap. Wanted a fresh start and to give WEN a fair shake so in July I went and got a ton cut off to just past my shoulders. So far, am loving what WEN has done for me - and am still learning from you all on this board daily - so thank you!

Almost forgot, I use the SC, mousse and glossing serum daily for styling. Have used the VTS but can't seem to find a way to use it where my hair doesn't feel dried out and crunchy with it. I struggle with this one. The RTM is okay, will sometimes use it after I have diffused my hair and need to rehydrate my waves a little bit to bring them out (like if I over-dried a little to much). But usually I like to scrunch some oil through my hair and ends after drying and I like the results the best. I usually diffuse my hair as it's the quickest, but on occasion will do a round brush blow out. I use WEN's large size brush when I do.

I may have forgotten something, but this is a good intro to where I am at with my WEN journey thus far!!

Welcome to the forum @AmericanBulldogMom!  I just wanted to throw out a suggestion re:  your hair being crunchy with the VTS.  A poster (I believe it was @vermint ) mixes VTS and RTM half and half to address that very issue.  I tried her suggestion and what works for me is mixing 3/4 VTS and 1/4 RTM--no more dry, crunchy hair!  I believe others cut the VTS with water.  HTH 😊

BExplorer, I have not thought to mix these two together.  Sounds like something that may work though. I will try this, thank you.

Welcome @AmericanBulldogMom and congrats on your first post!

 

MIF gallons should be offered again next month and I dont know if Chaz will bring the FTP gallons to QVC or not but they are available now on his site.

nikki48, I will certainly watch for the MIF gallon next month then. Also, it's the FTP I would order a gallon of, not the FGP - too many initials and short cut names to remember. Lol! Thank you though.

@AmericanBulldogMom, Yes, the Fall Tuscan Pear gallons are available on Chaz's site for $256 now. I'm not sure if he will bring them to QVC during his next visit though.

Welcome @AmericanBulldogMom!

 

It sounds like we have similar hair. My scalp is also oily and I have to cleanse every day so I got the CA gallon as well.

 

I get the same results as you with the VTS so I've given up on it.
