Wen - How do you use 613?

Beautoxica — Tue, 30 Jun 2015 17:27:50 GMT

I just got the 613 CC that I've been waiting on, along with the 613 styling creme. My initial thoughts were to use it with another CC instead of using it for both cleanses. I haven't actually used one scent for 1st cleanse and another for the 2nd before, but I have mixed them in my palm (MIF and Fig) and used that for both cleanses.

My question is, how do you best like to use 613? By itself? Mixed with another scent and if so, which ones? I currently have in stock Fig, Pom and SHP and wondered which might be best to mix the 613 in with to make it last a little longer since it's so much more expensive than the other Wen that we currently have.

What are your thoughts and feelings on 613? How do you use it and if you would, share your experiences, good and bad!

613 is fabulous alone and mixed! I have been mixing mine with MIF, CLV and TT. I usually do TT for first cleanse and mix the 613 with all the others or sometimes just MIF and 613. You cannot go wrong wit the 613. It does wonders for my hair!

I have also mixed it with POM and fig, but have not yet tried the SHP

When Chaz says that the SHP is mouth watering, he's really not kidding. It's great and very moisturizing. I really like it. I'm thinking that I may try that or fig today with a shot of the 613. Maybe 2/3 to 1/3 consistency. I'll see what feels right

I highly recommend the SHP. It's still on easy pay, or it was, for the 32oz. I'm thinking of doing another oder of it just so I have it later on.

I usually combine the 613 with whatever I'm using for my first cleanse - Also a great face wash, shaving cream and the list goes on!!

I can't use it very often and only use it mixed with other formulas. Although, I do like the 613 styling creme and use it frequently.

I always mix 613 in with whatever CC I am using for my 2nd cleanse everytime I wash. Love 613 - really brings out my curls!

I found that my hair does not like 613 alone. So after a double cleanse (TT first cleanse and a second cleanse of SHP, SAM or POM), followed by a pump of 613 mixed with a pump of whatever second CC as a leave-in, works miracles for my hair. I cannot get over the results. My hair is protein-sensitive, so cleansing with the 613 alone causes major dryness.

I just got done mixing it with Pom. For the first cleanse I did 2/3 Pom and the second cleans e I did 2/3 613, did the leave in of 613 as well as the 613 SC. The two scents together smelled amazing, and right now my hair feels great.

However, I had to laugh at myself because in March when I got the TSV and 613 was included, I didn't know what 613 was and I told my 18 year old son (who could care less WHAT he uses) "Yeah you can use the stuff in the white bottle" and now I'm like, "OMG I don't know what I was thinking."

Note to self, never give him any access to my Wen. Though, I have to say, he did really like it and when I attempted to buy "fake" Wen he was all, "it's not the same" and I had to admit it wasn't and we got back on the Wen train. I was afriad of the over all cost but really, I just didn't sit down and budget it in. I just saw how much I was using (not realizing there was a learning curve) and I freaked out.

I use 613 alone or as a second wash following Fig. My hair is protein sensitive, so I only use it a few times a month.You can also use it as an overnight treatment, which I like to do about 36-48 hours before I color my hair.

@ChynnaBlue I had only wanted to use this about once a week as something special to put in my hair. I didn't realize you could do it as an overnight treatment. Do you just put it on your wet hair and put a cap on?

I don't use it alone, I always mix it, usually on the second cleanse or for a leave in overnight.

I like to think 613 as "liquid gold" (sorry Josie Maran I'm stealing your line).. and only use 613 CC occasionally - specifically before heat styling where I need "extra protection" or if it's extra humid out. I use 613 styling products religiously though. I personally think because the scent is lighter, it's easier to mix with other formulas. It's really nice with all of the summer formulas.

I use it alone only occasionally....i love mixing it with smc or clv for my second cleanse.

I don't use 613 often, but when I do, I use it as my second cleanse.

I use it added up to any other CC I use, first or second cleanse. I remember, Chaz said to always add a pump or two or 613. I don't do it always, but I am glad when I do.

Also, 613 is great overnight too. I use it in a shower, instead of a second "cleanse" just put 613 on roots portion, then put re-moist on the rest of my hair, and run my fingers through from top to the ends. Wring the hair tight-tight-tight, just like Chaz shows on a model. Pin it up in a bun, rap it up with old T, and just rinse in the morning.

I always had fantastic head of hair after such re-moist on wheels! Nice.

I always mix 613 with another formula. It's too heavy for me to use on its own.

I use 613 as part of my second cleanse - it smells wonderful with SHP, and BGT. BGT is too drying for me by it's self, but mixed with 613 is great for volume, shine, and bounce. As others have said, 613 is a great leave in.

The one consistency I have is that TT is always my 1st cleanse.

613 alone usually makes my hair dry, so I can only use it occasionally. When I do, I mix it with another CC. Since you say your hair is protein sensitive, does the overnight treatment give you different results? Thanks!

I used 613 for the first time last night. I don't see any difference between 613 and the seasonals as far as performance. I did mix it with SMC (slightly more 613 than SMC) and used it on the length of my hair with TT on my scalp.

Honestly, my hair looks nor feels any different than with just SMC. I guess that's good because 613 costs more! I had a 16 oz bottle that I got in a TSV quite a while ago and decided to finally try it. I don't care for the scent, so it just sat (had tried the SC and didn't like the smell so I never opened the CC).

I will use it up, but won't repurchase.
