What is the best way to completely empty your Wen CC bottles? I have 2 or 3 bottles that have product left, but it's not enough to pump.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone!

I used tape to store the bottle upside down on the wall, since I trashed the caps. I ended up putting the CC into my existing bottle since that is at the halfway mark.

I put the original cap back on and store it upside down. Once the product is settled near the cap, I just shake it into a ziploc bag. I cut the corner and pipe it into a new bottle that I have used a little of already. Voila, full bottle again. It works great! I do my styling creme the same way when it stops working. The caps from the 16 oz. cc bottles fit on the styling creme also. I never throw caps away. I keep them in a drawer, so I have them when I need them.

Thank you! Once the pump is on, I never thought to store it upside down (duh)!

What's a bottle coupler?

JLF, I keep meaning to pick up these couplers. It's an easy $3.99 solution to a really annoying chore.

I add water and shake lol. I save all my original caps too but never put ONE ON besides traveling. Their GOOD TO hold onto. WHEN the BOTTLE is almost gone, I tip it upside down TO GET WHAT I watered down out

Wow!! I didn't know there was such a thing as bottle couplers. I always just cut the bottles and use a butter knife to transfer to another bottle. It's fairly easy but I also like the funnel idea which is much better. Thanks for the suggestions.

I add water. I add about as much water as product, shake it, let it sit, then shake again. Then I just used twice as many pumps. No issues. Once I put in twice as much water to product. Just used three times the amount of pumps (or a bit less), no problems. Worked as good as the original.

Turn the bottle upside down. Let it all drain out. If you have to prop it up. I do that for everything. Especially that expensive Hydroshield of Dr. Denese's.
