How often do/should you cleanse?

When I initially began using WEN, I started with the TT cc and I cleansed my hair everyday for one week. Then once my hair was used to the WEN, I tapered off to every other day and sometimes every 3 days. With this process, my hair still loves WEN and is flourishing (my postpartum shedding is lessening with time also), so I was wondering, is there anything wrong woth cleansing daily. I mean, I understand that with WEN, most are able to cleanse less per week than they did with shampoo, but I just enjoy using the product and cleansing my hair. Its the one thing I get to do during the day to feel pampered and the scents from the Dec TSV are so enticing lol. I definitely don't NEED to cleanse daily, but I just WANT to...just wanted to know if there was any reason that I shouldn't? Thanks!

I cleanse every day because I want to. I love how my hair feels when it's been cleansed.

You can use Wen as frequently as you wish!

Get your flu shot...because I didn't.

I cleanse everyday because my hair looks better the way I style it, and I love picking what I am going to use/combine, it's fun to see if I get a better "do" than the day before!...Smiley Happy

The one point I would like to make is that if you style/use hot tools after shower, you might be damaging your hair more than you need to. I flat iron after each cleanse, so I try to postpone cleansing as long as possible, twice a week ideally.

Yes, that is definitely a good point to make! I, however haven't used a hot tool with the exception of a blow dryer in over 6 years, and I haven't used a blow dryer in over a year and a half.

I cleanse every morning, but I have very fine hair and prefer it freshly washed.

Because it's every day, I only do one cleanse. My hair looks fine that way, and my stash lasts a lot longer!

I agree with the others, Wen is made to be used as often as you like! Chaz has mentioned many times it is gentle enough to be used daily; my only issue here would be I would run out faster! I LOVE wash days, but I do try to tough it out for 2, sometimes 3 days so my stash lasts longer. I would use it every day otherwise. The only thing I like about going a couple days without cleansing is I do less heat damage to my hair since I blow dry and straighten it.

Ladies who don't cleanse daily how do you wear your hair to bed at night? I don't need to cleanse daily but i do because my hair is awful after sleeping on it Smiley Sad I've done pincurls but it doesn't always turn out right and it takes a while to do i just don't have the time. I have a satin pillowcase which helps. You ladies are so helpful with things like this Smiley Happy thanks in advance for your responses!
