Do you use cc as a leave in or can I use remoist? Please help thanks

I use CC as my leave-in, but I think some have posted that they use a little ReMoist as a leave-in. I don't know if they mix a little w/CC or use ReMoist in place of CC.

I use the cc. I have fine hair and the remoist is too rich for me. I think the ones that use remoist as leave in successfully have thicker probably curly hair.

Yes, I can leave the Remoist in for a couple days and it acts almost as a curl activator.

I've got shoulder length thin fine hair and I'm one of the exceptions to the rule where my hair performs better with a heavier formula. I can use either CC as a leave in or a smidge of RM. Keep experimenting to see what works best for you.

Do you have to use the cc as a leave in? Do you have to use a leave in or not?

I get the best results when I do this. My hair is thick, coarse, and reaches my tailbone - so I actually use a full pump from my 32oz as a leave in, then about 6 pumps of Styling Cream. (All on soaking wet hair.)

Chaz advises we use a little CC as a leave-in. I have very fine, long hair and I use about a quarter size of CC as my leave-in. I then apply my WEN styling products (to soaking wet hair while in the shower).

Chaz always says when putting leave in in, to work it in by twisting and scrunching until it's worked into your hair. My hair is now is short layers - about 4" all around - and I've had to decrease the amount of leave in to a pea size, but I still work it in. It adds smoothness, shine, bounce. And I twist it in, even with short hair - I don't have the ponytail, but I take several sections around my head and twist them.

I change off, sometimes the cc , sometimes remoist. I was a good Wengirl all summer and used remoist every week overnight but I also leaned at using remoist as a leave in too

Hi Everyone! If you got the pamphlet it might help answer a lot of questions but not everyone is getting it. Chaz recommends always adding the styling cream to soaking wet hair and twisting it in thoroughly. To this he recommends a spritz of the mist. These additions are essential, he says, if you use heat to style.

For those with coarse hair he even recommends adding a little oil to the wet mixture . The conditioning cleanser is baseline. For coarse hair like mine the additives are a must. I use the Balm to flat iron and leave the oil in like the models you see using the dropper to drench their natural, unprocessed hair.

These threads are delightful. I didn't know they existed until a few weeks ago. I missed so much excellent advice. I did a trial and error tour through WEN and finally happened upon the best combination for me. If Id read the threads I could have skipped the experimentation and gone straight for the payoff. I hear there are videos to teach, answer questions, solve problems but haven't found them yet.

If you know where to find the videos please write?

Yes, I forgot to mention that I use a full dropper of the oil as my last step to soaking wet hair! Then I air-dry and flat iron the next morning, using another full dropper of oil as a finishing treatment to tame flyaways and add sleekness.

CoG - I received a DVD of those videos in last year's Holiday set of 5 CCs. (Or maybe it was the year before?) Have you checked to see if they are available online?

I use the remoist as my leave in product.
