Me, too. I don't throw much of anything away, but I finally tossed almost half a bottle of styling creme. It has been the only Wen product I just never found to be doing anything extra for my hair.

I use my Styling Creme after I am finished washing and rinsing my Hair with the wen cleansing conditioner.While my Hair is still wet I massage some Styling Creme on the ends of my Hair. Like a leave in conditioner. Makes my Hair soft and easy manageable .I have no split ends. And maybe it protects my Hair from the heat of the Hair dryer.

Make your own replenishing treatment mist.

Type it in the forum search bar and recipes come up.

The styling creme DOES protect the hair from the heat of the blow dryer. Chaz said that on the show many times. My styling cremes go kind of quickly. I use two pumps after two pumps of cleansining conditioner for my leave in. I use around ten pumps of mousse too. Those three things are staple for my leave in. I apply it just like Chaz does on the shows, on the models. I apply like this....I rinse a few minutes in very cool water. I then angle my head a bit down so that the water parts it between my neck. I shut off the water and take one pump of CC. I then rake that into the section on one side and then do the same on the other. What's left on my hands, I rake into the crown and just the whole head. I then marry up the two sections between my neck and twist, use my fingers in a pushing motion and then squash the whole thing in my hands. My hair is a bit past my shoulders. I noticed that if I don't use enough leave in (CC and Styling creme) my sides and ends get too dry. It has to feel like there's too much in. Chaz is right about that. I blow dry every day. I also noticed that my sides need more moisture than the back of my head hair so that's why I do them first. Chaz does the back underneath first because it is the thickest part of one's hair. My hair is, like, spongey. Has SO much bounce. I've been though a ton of styling creme. I used to have hair way down my back. I cut it, May of 2017 in a pixie, REALLY short. Now, it's traveling past my shoulders. I'm gonna let it get long again but because Wen prevents split ends, I don't trim as much as I should. I couldn't stand the heat last summer too and long hair only hinders when you're trying to keep cool. I'm not sure how else one could use styling creme, however, you can use one pump on dry hair too for fly aways or just extra moisture or some extra shine.

I use as @77yangya said...My Hubby uses it also so we go thru alot..I also put it in my dry hair on ends if I feel like it needs it... (I don't put it on crown area, I use the mousse for that...I can't think of any other uses, maybe family or friends that might like to use it..

I love the SC, use it as @77yangya mentioned plus I use it for between wash styling.

My fave product next to the CC.

I dont blow dry my hair ~ I have long natural curly hair and it just air dries ~ I do sometimes put the styling cream after my CC and leave in~ I will also use it to tame fly aways ~ or small stray hairs on top if my hair is pulled back in a pony tail~

So last night I took out my lavender SC and put it on my feet before bed ~ think I will try that a few times and see if it does anything ~ ( besides smell nice and feel good)

There you go!

Now that is an alternative use for the SC.

Some people don't use RTM often enough to feel it's worth buying, but may want to mix up a little pseudo-homemade-RTM to keep on hand.

Lol!!! on your feet!!! why not?!! if an oil can be dry, then why can't Lavender SC smooth and soothe feet at the end of the day?

I'm still laughing!

I’ve tried using 613 SC around my eyes. This was in another thread. Someone said it tightened around their eyes. It didn’t do that for me, but my crows feet are moisturized. I can’t say I see any difference but I occasionally do it.

I have started adding 1 pump of SC back into my hair on day two. It plumps up my hair and tones down fly always. It’s great for braids.

@World Traveler, I never use a hair dryer, and have never had any success with the SC except as a dry styler.

On wet hair it actually seems to create frizz.

Chaz used two pumps of SC on your shorter hair, which made me wonder if I should be using 8 or even 10 pumps due to texture and length.

Your post has inspired me to try it again on wet hair.

I think I'll give 8 pumps on wet hair a try.

Found this recipe on a previous thread for making your own Replenishing Treatment Mist using styling cream.

6 ounces of bottled/distilled water - hot in order to mix the ingredients together

4 pumps from a 16 oz cleansing conditioner OR 2 pumps from a 32 oz CC

2-4 drops of the treatment oil of your choice

2 pumps of styling cream of your choice

Shake up really good in order to ensure everything is mixed well.

If anyone has tried this in the past, please share your experience. To me, just adding the styling cream would seem to make it heavy and not able to spray, but maybe it does work.

I would try it, but I have Fall Ginger Pumpkin as my styling cream but not the oil in the pumpkin, so am not sure it would smell the way I want it if I used a different oil.

@World Traveler

I've made it before and not added oil...works just fine. I've seen in other threads that people didn't even add styling cream...just CC and water.

Re: Styling Creme

World Traveler — Mon, 09 Jul 2018 18:43:58 GMT

@Greenqueen Oh, that is much simpler......cleansing conditioner and water. I may try that. Thanks!

I tried that when I was new to WEN and didn't have many products. I'd emptied a 2oz 613 RTM, and tried to duplicate that using CC, SC, mousse, and water.

Tried different amounts of products. I think I started with just CC & water.

It was always disappointing compared to the real thing and I'd end up dumping it out eventually.

World Traveler — Mon, 09 Jul 2018 20:07:39 GMT

@x Hedge I agree. I'm not sure I would go to the trouble to do it; easier to just purchase it.

However, I do use the elixir for the bathtub. Love that Chaz talked about it on his recent visit to QVC. Makes a nice soak in the tub a luxury.

I made the concotion day 2 days ago ~ I added a little more of each of the products ~ I needed heavier ~ since I have such long waby hair and just spent a week at the beach so its a little dry

I mixed Tropical and peach CC

Mango Coconut Oil

Warm vanilla pumkin styling creme ( its what was open )

Warm water

I Love it ~ I hve been spraying my hair several times a day ~ it smells very summery ~

follow-up:

Tried styling cream on wet hair again. Used 9 pumps of BGT SC this time, with 5 pumps of glossing serum.

Air dried. It looked very nice, felt soft, gave a lot of piecy definition. I skipped the mousse.

I could probably go up to 12 pumps of SC without a problem.
