What Should I Be Doing Differently?

I am using pomegranate and just recently got the cucumber aloe. I have oily hair, that is why I got the cucumber. I wash my hair every other day and the second day, it's very greasy. I have medium length hair, use seven pumps and then the additional six. Any suggestions to help cut down the greasiness? I love the product and want it to work.

What size bottle are you using? (This helps determine the amount of pumps.)

How long are you rinsing?

If I could offer a one-and-done, quick fix kind of suggestion - you are probably not using enough. 13 pumps from a 16 oz isn't really a lot for medium length hair.

A few minutes? I know I really run my fingers through and rinse well.

My hair is at my shoulders and not very thick, I use 10 pumps from a 16oz bottle for each cleanse. I think you need to use more pumps. Make sure and add a big splash of water as well. It helps to distribute the CC evenly. And of course rinse really well. Chaz also says to cleanse daily for a while to kinda retrain your scalp and its oil production. I cleansed daily for about a month then went to every other day, now I can go 3 days between cleansing. I hope all works out for you. The ladies here are really helpful! Hopefully some more wenners chime in as well!

There is a lot in my hair when i combed it through on the second pass. When I say medium, it's about right at my shoulders and thin

Sounds like our hair is very similar. I would say try 10 pumps for each cleanse and see. If it's too much just back it down a pump at a time. :-)

12-20 pumps from the 16 oz is recommended for shoulder length hair. Since you are using 13 pumps with poor results right now, maybe you should try to increase your pumps with each cleansing (up to 20) to gauge the results.
