I missed the FTP last year as I started with Wen in Dec. My question is this: How moisturizing is this formula as compared to SOB, SHP (my hair does well with these) and SHL, SMC (not as moisturizing for my hair) - I want to save up for any purchases I might make! - TIA everyone

I have only tried FTP, SMC and SOB from your list and I can tell you that, in my opinion, FTP was very similar to SOB for me.  I wouldn't really compare it to SMC although I loved that one as well so much so I ordered a whole thing of it.  I also found FTP gave me the most shine out of the three.  If you really like SOB, FTP is a close sister.

I really like the FTP cleansing conditioner.  Not sure that it is as moisturizing as SHP but I really enjoyed using it.  It is a very light scent and not overpowering like the other fall scents would be, (I don't like spicy body products of any kind).  Of course, many Wenners really liked FGP, (if it wasn't popular it wouldn't have been offered in the gallon size).

I personally liked (ok, loved Heart) FTP, much more so than SHP. To me it made my hair super silky and manageable. I know others who love SHP find FTP to be good for them also. The scent is one of my favorites but performance is the main reason I am so stuck on it....I think its worth a try.

For performance, I find SOB and FTP to be very similar for me.


They are my 2 favorites.

I missed FTP last year too. I've been hearing great things about it for months and I can't wait to try it. If it's similar to SHP in terms of moisture, that would probably be good for me. SHP is a little too much moisture for me in the hot humid Houston summers. But in the fall the humidity should be lower and that level of moisture would probably work better.

I've tried all of the seasonals, except SHL.  FTP is my all-time favorite, with SHP a close second. FTP is very moisturizing to me. It also gives me lots of body.  I'm def stocking up on this one.

I Love FTP!  It has a light pear scent and gives my hair a lot of shine. My hair seems to hold the wave after taking it out of a bun for longer with FTP than any other CC.  I'd just started using WEN last fall so I was still concentrating on the Core formulas but I LOVE pears so I got the FTP CC  Now I'm sad I did not get the kit.  Do you think since Chaz is offering a FTP scent there may be a special kit at some point?  That would be Wenderful!  As far as comparing FTP to a core  formula I think it may be closest to Fig for moisturising but not AS moisturizing as Fig.  Fig adds a lot of thickness to my hair as in I can only do three wraps around of an "elastic"band in stead of the usual four go rounds. I ordered a TT and  SAM  TSV  I'm holding off on a Fig tsv in hopes of a FTP special.   HTH.

@candys mine welcome to the Wen forum!!! Smiley Happy 

 

lol, I love the way you describe the effect that FTP has on your hair. I don't have a lot of hair so I measure it by how many fingers it takes to hold my hair at the base of my head. It's close to five fingers... four and a half when it's wet or slicked down with oil.

 

I've tried most of the Seasonals except for the new ones form this past year. I'm looking forward to trying out FTP this fall.

I would imagine that some type of special deals will be offered on the fall seasonals.  In addition to the 3 fall cleansing conditioners, I am hoping that the RTM and oil will be offered on QVC in all 3 formulas.  I suppose that some type of deal will be available with the new FTP fragrance.  No one really knows but we will find out soon enough.
