I used to use 24 pumps and my hair was greasy, but I was only doing a single cleanse then. It was almost like I couldn't rinse it all out.

My hair is a few inches below my shoulders and I use 40 pumps split between 2 cleanses…my hair isn't thick either…its medium texture. I wish I could figure out how to post a pic…I would post one of my hair from Friday.

I would love to see your hair. I bet it is beautiful! I used 10 pumps per cleanse today (total 20). My hair turned out great. My hair looks very similar to the Wen model, Carrie. My hair is a darker shade of blonde, though.

Hope this works!

Wow bruin, your hair's beautiful! Was it blown out with a round brush and dryer?

yes, Danny used a few round brushes during the blow out process.

And thanks for the compliment

Bruingirl, your hair is gorgous!!! It is so shiny! Thank you for posting the pick. Also, it is great to see you posting more lately. You are such a great help.

Bruingirl, what styling products and how much of each do you usually use? If you don't mind me asking. I'm sure you have posted before, but it's been awhile. TIA

Thank you! and thank you very much for your kind words. I'm trying (not easy) to avoid the snarky posts and just post where I feel I can be helpful.

I don't mind at all….I know I've posted it before but I tend to tweak my styling cocktail.

leave-in 1 pump if blow drying, 2 pumps if air and diffuse drying

SC - 1 pump if blow drying, 3 pumps if air and diffuse drying

Oil - 4-5 drops mixed with SC if air and diffuse drying

mousse - 6 pumps if blow drying and 8-10 pumps if air and diffuse drying

I use more styling products when I air and diffuse dry because I need the products to tame the frizz in my curls.

GS - I use 1 pump on dry styled hair if needed

I've probably mentioned this before but I'm a huge believer in using the oil for scalp treatments the night before I cleanse. I had done this probably every 4 or 5th cleanse but now I do it for almost every cleanse.

Thank you! I agree with you about the oil, too. My hair always feels great the day after an oil treatment. I usually do a scalp treatment once a week. I should do them more often.

I usually use 16 pumps and get great results. Today, I tried using 22 pumps just to see if it made a difference. Oh it made a difference alright. My hair was even more dry and frizzy feeling. I didn't change anything else in my routine except adding more pumps. I am sticking with 16 pumps. I guess everyone's hair is different.
