Mixing oil with cleansing conditioner for leave-in

Hilary77 · ‎07-24-2012

Do any of you mix the Wen oils with your cc as your leave in? I read that Chaz suggests this to add extra hydration. If you do, what is your mix ratio and what is your favorite oil for this purpose? TIA

Well I add Macadamia Nut Oil so I can say...why not?

I mix 2 drops of fig oil with my fig cc or my sc if I forget to put it in my cc. It has really added shine this winter. Our humidity has been down in the teens a lot with high winds, moisture has been sucked out of everything. I think any oil would work.

yes, I add 2-4 drops to the SC …right now I have a 1oz bottle of Fig Sweet Orange oil in my shower. But I've used other wen oils too.

I do. Right now (dry Winter routine) I mix 2 pumps of Fig CC and one dropper full of old SAM oil (or 3 pumps of CC and 2 droppers full of oil) as my leave-in, really work it through and in, then scrunch in a glob of DevaCurl No-Poo. In warmer months I can usually get by with 2 pumps of CC mixed with one dropper full of oil and skip the DevaCurl. Pumps are from 32oz bottle. I only use the SAM oil because it's the one I started with and I was originally using it mostly as a leave-in, so it already stays in my shower. I have many more WEN oils now though, so those are the ones I use for overnight treatments (I didn't like the SAM for that) and mixing with my body lotion.

I ADD THE OIL FIRST. THEN I ADD THE CC. THIS ALLOWS THE OIL TO BE ABSORBED MORE READILY INTO THE HAIR SHAFT. THEM THE CC SEALS THE SHAFT. THUS LOCKING IN THE MOISTURE.
