As someone here predicted, my WEN TSV magically appeared today despite stagnant UPS tracking. I was so excited to try it out and luckily I needed to wash my hair tonight. I followed the directions (so I think). I have an asymmetrical chin length bob. Short and stacked on the back. Very thick and kind of course. So I did about 7 pumps on the first cleanse added more water, massaged it well, rinsed out. Then about 5 more pumps (my hair was quite dirty-oil & product build up). After that was washed out my hair felt clean and I added one pump, ran a little cold water through my hair but did not totally rinse out. My hair felt conditioned. I could feel the product in my wet hair, but not tons of it.

So that's what, 13 pumps of the 32 oz CC. Now I'm not complaining or anything, just observing that that is kind of a lot. I can only imagine how many if I still had my long hair, I'd have gone through half the bottle, lol.

Just wondering how long my 32 oz bottle will last. How quickly do you go through bottles?

So far I'm really liking WEN. My hair is still wet as I type this. I air dry at night and style in the am with a curling iron. I can't wait to see how it looks once dry. My hair wasn't bad before, mostly due to the shorter length and the fact that it is thick and I have tons of natural volume. But, I'm looking forward to better color retention and less frizz!

It's hard to say bc I keep so many formulas on hand, but there are about 192 pumps in a 32oz bottle if that helps any.

I got a 32oz TT in the beginning of Feb. My hair is similar to yours. I almost always use TT for my first cleanse. And I have over a 13 of a bottle left. I usually cleanse every other day. I also took out about 10-15 pumps to fill back up a 16oz I was giving my sister. I had used some of the 16oz before my 32oz arrived so I filled it back up so my sister would have a full bottle. Maybe that can give you an idea of how long yours will last. I usually use 7-8 pumps per cleanse. And a few times I did both cleanses with it. HTH.

A 32 oz bottle probably lasts about 2 months for me. I cleanse daily and have long hair, so probably use closer to 10-12 pumps each time. I usually only do one cleanse, not 2 unless my hair is extra dirty.

I've only used the 16 oz bottles. I was going thru them really fast, about 7-10 days for a bottle, but I wash my hair every morning. I use about 16 pumps total. Even tho I love how my hair feels, I was going thru too much product for the money.

I decided to cut back to one cleanse most of the time. Since I wash every day, I don't notice a difference. I still do two cleanses about twice a week, but cutting back to one saves me a lot of product, as well as a lot of extra time in the morning.

I cleanse twice a week. I alternate using 613 and Tea Tree for the first cleanse. I use Fig every second cleanse and for my leave-in.

I bought my 32 ounce bottle of Fig in November. I'm halfway through it.

I just got my 32 ounce 613 and I haven't used it yet (still finishing the 16 ounce).

Tea Tree, CA, Seasonals & 613 are all part of my regular routine. I use more of TT, CA, & 613. Since I'm always swapping out all of the Seasonal, they last for a very long time. -- That said, since I use much less Wen than most people, I get all the Wen I need using the Spring/Fall TVSs and the the December Seasonals TSV.

I've posted this before, but I thought it might be of interest to some people...

I have thin/fine shoulder length hair and I use much less CC than Chaz recommends. Much, much, much less. I always use the 16 oz. bottles of CCs.

Initially, I followed his instructions to the letter but it just wasn't making sense for my hair. The first time I used Wen I used 40 pumps (20 - first cleanse & 20 - second cleanse), but it took me a solid ten minutes to wash it all out. Way too much trouble but I loved what Wen did for my hair. Next time it was 32 pumps, but it still took forever to wash it out. So over the next 4-8 weeks I kept decreasing the number of pumps by two each time I cleansed.

When I got down to 7-8 pumps total, cleansing seemed more manageable. Because I was curious, on separate days I tried 6-pump, 4-pump, and 2-pump cleanses. Two pumps actually more or less worked but I would usually have to wash my hair the following day. So I went back up to 7-8 total pumps for washing my hair.

After about 5-6 months of using Wen, once again, I played around with the number of pumps I used and this is the system I currently use. Using the 16 oz. bottles of CC:

* first cleanse (1 min.) - 2 pumps / second cleanse (3-5 mins.) - 3 pumps

* quick weekend cleanse just to get my scalp clean, when I'm just hanging out at home -- one cleanse - 2 pumps (yup, just two pumps). I massage the CC through my scalp for 2-3 minutes. It cleanses my scalp but doesn't provide much volume.

* after an overnight scalp remoist or oil treatment -- first cleanse (1-2 mins.) -- 2 pumps / second cleanse (2 mins.) -- 2-3 pumps / third cleanse (3-5 mins.) -- 3-4 pumps

Over time, I came up with the three cleanses routine following the overnight treatments. This works the best to get the excess oil out of my hair.

My hair is close to shoulder length and I use 20 pumps daily (10 each cleanse). I do mix my flavors and a 32 oz of TT would last close to 6 months for me. So, I am thinking that I should get 3 months out of a 32 oz bottle if that was the only flavor I used. I will have to pay closer attention.

My hair is on the thick side and nearly waist length. I use 12-16 pumps per cleanse from a 32 oz bottle and double cleanse, twice a week. My calculations are that, if I only used one formula, each 32 oz would last me maybe four to five weeks. Since I use so many combinations, I can't say I ever expect to actually be able to confirm this. No way I could stick with just one option for that long.

Well me, I have waist length hair, thick and curly again since USING WEN. I use 18 PUMPS OUT OF a 32oz, well maybe more BECAUSE sometimes I DO the TWO cleanses but NOT all the TIME. SO maybe LIKE 22-24 PUMPS. I cleanse every 5-7 days and I alternate BECAUSE I have a large stockpile OF it, lol, but if I hand TO guess how long 1 BOTTLE would LAST me, 5 months OR SO, maybe 6.
