So I've tried both of my purchases. I got the starter kit from the Wen website, which includes the cleansing conditioner, remoist, styling cream, and texture balm, all in the SAM scent. From QVC I ordered the cleansing condtioner in MC.
SAM: That scent is gross. It really is. After i used the CC, my hair felt almost stripped. It was weird, especially because my hair is relatively easy to moisturize. I was in a rush so I didn't try the remoist, but I did use the cream with a leave-in (think I used Oyin Hair Dew) and applied the texture balm when it was dry. Not a fan of the texture balm, but my curls were POPPING! I have fine, kinky hair, so the only way WNGs work for me is if I apply my leave-in and stylers to soaking wet hair, and then don't touch my hair AT ALL until it is completely dry. This time, I applied the styler and leave-in to damp hair, and got the same, if not better results, in half the time! Not to mention, my hair is SHINY. Not a sheen, but a real shine. That's awesome. Also, I live in humid Florida, and the curls held up, even in the rain! That's something to be excited about.
MC: Today I clarified (didn't do that before using the SAM), then used MC, then used Oyin Hair dew as my leave in and blue EcoStyler as my styler (thanks so1913!). Still not seriously moisturized, but the curliciousness of this stuff! And still shiny. And the MC smells absolutely AMAAAZING. It smelled better in my hair than when I just sniffed it in the bottle. MC is def a keeper.
Now that I'm thinking about it, I might not have liked the SAM because I didn't clarify first, and for some reason I couldn't open the pump, so I just poured it into my hand. I def used more of the MC because I actually counted pumps. I like to wet my hair every day when wearing WNG's so I will try the SAM again tomorrow. But this stuff is definitely great for those of us with fine, kinky hair because it holds the curls that are so hard to maintain!

waiting to go to @
I can't believe that I waited for so long to try it. My 5-bottle set came yesterday. I haven't opened it yet, but I'll be trying the Mango/Coconut formula this weekend.
