How Long Do You Leave CC in?

KittyKorner — Fri, 13 Jun 2014 17:48:34 GMT

I've been using WEN for a few months, but can't figure out how long to leave it in my hair before rinsing. Sure, I leave it in when I'm in the shower -- but let's face it, it only takes me a minute or two to wash my body. So it's not on my hair that long before rinsing (unless I shave, which is an extra 2 minutes).

I have fine, thin hair (but lots of it) and highlighted and right now wash my hair almost every day (I'll go every other day if I'm only at home with w/hair up in a ponytail. Once I sleep on my hair, it goes totally flat!). So I only do one cleanse.

1) So how long do you leave the CC on? As I wash almost every day, leaving it on for more than a minute or two would be long showers and a very long time to get ready in the morning!

2) Also -- which CC would you suggest? I find the lavender quite drying...anyone else find this? And the POM seems to be okay. Also have the 613, but can be a bit too heavy if I use too much.

Okay -- thanks for your help! LOVE this community/forum!!

1) I often only leave my CC in for a minute. When I shave then I'll leave it in longer. I think the key if you don't have time to let it sit, is to really work it in and get a good froth before rinsing.

2) I find lavender to be the most drying. I have found the tea tree to be the most universal for me.

I rinse the first cleanse out as soon as I get the froth going and really massage it in. I leave the second cleanse on for the remainder of my shower. I leave it on while I cleanse my body, face, shave, etc. I rinse my hair last. I usually do a cooler rinse at the end.

I do a double cleanse most times but I think I probably leave the second cleanse in for a about 3 minutes on short showers but can be up to 10 minutes when I adding in shaving, a body scrub, my face cleaning, etc but those longer showers are only couple times a week.

I am not a fan of the lavender either for the same reason. TT is my most used CC.

This exactly! I've been really trying lately to use cooler water to rinse with. It's been easier with the hot weather! This winter was shockingly cold! BRRR!

I have very short hair and I usually do mine at the kitchen sink and I usually leave the second cleanse on about 5-10 minutes, but I'm retired so I have the time to leave it on as long as I want. If I was still working it would probably be a different story.
