Is this the right sequence to using WEN?

World Traveler — Mon, 19 Oct 2015 21:14:57 GMT

I recall in September when Chaz talked about the proper order of using his products, he said it is backward to how you put products on your face (thinnest product to the thicker product last).

I heard him say it again yesterday, opposite of what how you apply facial products.

So, just checking to ensure I'm understanding him correctly. This is the order I used his products this morning; is this correct?

1. Cleanse

2. Conditioner

3. Leave-in

4. Styling cream

5. Mousse

6. Glossing serum

7. Treatment mist throughout the day or as needed

There are probably many of you who mix these together or maybe even put in a different order, and that works for you. Just wanted to try to do it the way he suggests.

Yes. The Glossing Serum can also be mixed into the styling cream or the leave-in instead of or as well as being added near the end.

World Traveler, I think that you should probably use the Glossing Serum (GS) before you use the Mousse (because the Mousse is lighter). Chaz sometimes blends the GS and the Styling Creme (SC) together. Otherwise, it all looks good.

Yes....I put the GS in with my leave in....you can also use a couple drops of the oils in the leave in too...sometimes I alternate the GS & oil in my leave in....

I typically air dry so thank you for the tip on using more SC. I didn't know that. I learn something new every time Chaz is on

Oh...I also put about 6 sprays of VTS in with my SC...

@Rosiebudsmom I have not a lot of baby fine hair that is a few inches below my shoulders.

When I first started using Wen my hair was in terrible shape. I could only use 1/4 of styling creme without weighing my hair down.

Now that my hair is healthy, I can use 3 pumps of SC without weighing my hair down. lol, that's the Wen difference.

Because my hair is so fine it tends to have fly aways, and be frizzy. The extra SC really helps tame my air dried hair.

Best of luck!!!

@World Traveler I have benefitted from @bebe777 suggestion about the extra SC! Also, I started using a t-shirt @bebe777 and it really does make a difference. When I default to my towel now I can tell.

Suebdoo — Tue, 20 Oct 2015 02:24:25 GMT

Yep after almost 3 years I still learn new tips / tricks to try. I think I am going to try the More SC thing. I also heard Chaz comments about the amount of mousse to use. I use about 10 pumps now. If I remember right, he said he would use that much on Amanda's hair. I can't remember who's hair he was doing it live on ( maybe Sheila ? ) and he was using 20. Like it's been mentioned before, his one stylist used like 50 on Maria.

I really wish he had someone like Roseanne's but with longer ....and a little less curly hair for reference.

I've just started using more SC & mousse. I'm letting my hair grow over the winter, it's longer than it's been in years but still very short.

I started out with a pea size SC but today I used a full pump & I've increased to 4 pumps mousse.

@yisbuff2 Thank you for your comments. It appears @bebe777 continues to be the go-to person for all things WEN!

I will give the T-shirt method a try, rather than my terry cloth turban wrap.

@World Traveler, My steps are very similar to what @bebe777 outlined. I do comb through each leave-in product before applying the next, I mix 5 sprays of volumizer with my SC and I mix the glossing serum with either the leave-in CC or the mouse. I also love to apply mouse to second day hair after dampening with RTM. It gives it amazing volume.

@lyn in MI Oh, I do believe this is the first time I have read someone doing the mousse the second day. That could be because I just started using the mousse and wasn't paying attention. Interesting. I'll have to try that.

This morning I put everything on at one time. Next time I will try doing them one at a time and combing each thru. Not sure if I will see any difference, but love trying out everyone else's way of doing the supporting products. Thanks!

BTW....I usually hear from you regarding Perricone products.

@World Traveler - I'm a long time WENner and even cleanse with cool/cold water. I use the oils nightly before a cleanse and I use the Re-Moist every 7 - 10 days. I have long, fine, unprocessed hair and WEN works well for me. Tea Tree CC is the formula I use on my scalp and I use other formulas on the balance of my hair. My favs are the rice formulas and the seasonals. I mix a little 613 (CC on second cleanse, SC & Mouse) into my routine.

Chaz recommended using Mouse on dry/day two hair on a QVC visit and I decided to give it a try. I spray with RTM, apply Mouse and then comb through, twist my hair and clip it up. Once it dries, I take it down and the result is beachy, wavy hair with tons of volume.

@World Traveler...indeed t-shirts make a difference. I plop all the time and my curls are better than they ever were in a turbie. No frizz! Tomorrow will be interesting because I just got all my hair cut off into a pixie. I hope I have enough for little baby curls. If not, Tea Tree here I come!

@SurferWife Oh, I can't wait to hear about your experiences after your hair is cut! And I understand about the tea tree. I'm sure it is the reason I get my hair cut every month instead of every six weeks!

(I thought I already posted this, but it is not showing up....if it pops up later, sorry for the duplication,)

@SurferWife I am anxious to hear about how it turns out after you cut your hair. And I know what you mean about the tea tree. I used to have my hair cut every six weeks; now it is every four weeks! That stuff rocks!

WorldTraveler, I think the easiest way to remember it is that, you add the heaviest products first and end with the lightest products. btw, I love your new name. Best of luck!!! -- bebe

Based on what' I've heard Chaz say, I'd make the following modifications to your list:

CLEANSE YOUR HAIR

1. Cleanse -- two cleanses, splitting the CC between both cleanses

LEAVE-IN PRODUCTS

2. Cleansing Conditioner

3. Styling cream -- use more SC if you air dry your hair

4. Glossing serum -- applied with either the Styling Creme or the Cleansing Conditioner

5. Mousse

Note: Apply each of the leave-in products -- one right after the other -- to soaking wet hair, while you are still in the shower.

DRYING YOUR HAIR

* lightly squeeze your hair dry with a 100% cotton T-shirt (so as not to rough up the cuticles of your hair). -- Don't use a terry cloth towel.

SECOND DAY HAIR, or at any other time

7. Replenishing Treatment Mist (RTM) throughout the day or as needed

Note: You can use the RTM to refresh your hair every day between your cleanses.

Ita on how as my hair got better my amount of sc was higher. I started out using one pump on hair past my bra strap and now I use one pump in chin length hair.

My routine is as follows:

First cleanse with 3-5 pumps FF
Second cleanse with 5-7 pumps seasonal (thick hair )
Leave in about a pump of whatever
1 pump SC of choice
Glossing serum (amount varies)
Put hair up in a flour sack towel (I get these at Walmart usually, they are like tshirts)
Once I take it down I may spray rtm and add a seasonal oil on the ends after I round brush it dry with my wen brushes.
