Thank you everyone for your input. Now, I can't wait for FTP. I think this might become a favorite.

I'd like to add that I live in Florida, where its very humid. Frizz is a constant concern for my hair type. I found that FTP was moisturizing for me, but did not produce any frizz whatsoever. I have very fine and naturally curly hair. I don't wear it curly though, I blow it out straight. Its hard to keep the frizz away but FTP did a great job while giving me shine and a silky feel.

Wen Woman and everyone else that's been sharing their FTP experiences, thanks so much. I think I really missed out by giving it a pass last year. I'm definately going to pick it up this fall.

@Wen_Woman - I'm in SC so I know humidity! My hair is wavy/curly and a frizzy mess! I will say a Wen has tamed a lot of the frizz. So looking forward to FTP.

FTP became my staple after the first use.  It's not as moisturizing as Tea Tree or CA, but it's got a great protein-moisture balance, which my hair loves.

@HonnyBrown, I use Tea Tree (TT) and Cucumber Aloe (CA) and they work well on my hair, but I've never heard anyone refer to them as being moisturizing. 

 

Where would you place them moisture wise, in comparison to FIG, Summer Honey Peach (SHP) and Summer Mango Coconut (SMC)? 

 

I love the idea that FTP has great protein-moisture balance. I can't wait to try it, but I'm going to hold out for Chaz to (hopefully) offer the trio of 16oz Seasonal CCs for around $72.

Hi bebe!  Welcome back!

 

I almost passed on FTP based on the reviews that compared it to CA.  I bought the 3 piece kit and my hair loved it.  I bought 2 bottles on AD that same week.

 

As far as moisture, Bethany  told us about Tea Tree.  CA, I recently found out for myself how moisturizing it is.

 

FTP, CA and TT are not in the same category as Fig.  I would say they are closer to SAM for moisture.

 

I haven't tried SMC and SHP wasn't impressive to me.  I still have half of the 16 ounce bottle.

HonneyBrown, thanks for the welcome back!! Smiley Happy 

 

That's so interesting that you and Bethany found Tea Tree (TT) and Cucumber Aloe (CA) to be moisturizing. I like them but they don't give my hair a lot of additional moisture. -- I still can't use Sweet Almond Mint (SAM) because it weighs my hair down.

 

I've been using some Summer Mango Coconut (SMC) this summer and I didn't feel it was particularly moisturising, but I'm in the minority here. I still haven't give Summer Honey Peach (SHP) enough of a test drive to be sure about it.

 

The CC that has turned my world upside down though is the Mandarin Italian Fig (MIF). It gives me the perfect balance of controlled volume.

@bebe777 - I did not find the SMC moisturing either - The two that work well for me are the SOB & SHP. I got all 5 in last December's TSV. I also tried LAV & BGT - neither of those worked for me at all - very drying. In July I ordered a FIG and don't find it too heavy at all and very moisturizing. When I first used MIF I wasn't crazy about it, but now that my hair is healthier, I have done the "dry" priming and I'm very impressed with this CC
