I use 2-3 pumps from the 16oz bottle on my hip length hair. I was using 1 pump for a really long time but realized that wasn't enough and increasing the amount really made a difference. I also use 2 pumps of SC. I add the leave in first, to soaking wet hair while I'm in the shower, and without squeezing any water out. Then I add the SC.

I increased the amount of leave-in and of SC I'm using, plus started adding in some VTM while I'm soaking wet. I just make a big pile in the palm of my hand of all the products together, mix them up good and then follow the same method most of you are describing. My hair LOVES it! If I'm blow drying, I add in some glossing serum, and if I'm wearing it curly I fluff in some mousse and let it air dry. My hair has never been healthier (aside from pregnancies )

I also put my leave in CC in dripping wet hair while in the shower. Then I ring out my hair before I put in my SC. I've tried the SC on dripping wet hair, but I get better results using it once my hair is rung out. I like to add a couple drops of one of my oils to my SC too

That's what I do. I rinse out the first wash very well, and rinse out the second wash halfway. Works great for me!

Someone on the boards suggested the following-since I've been doing it I've gotten the best results. To dripping wet hair. Put together CC, SC, and volumizing mixing it together in the hand. I comb through and then add in the mousse. Then use a paper towel to squeeze out excess water. I also realized lately as my hair has grown I wasn't using enough leave in. So now I do the mixture to hair on my head, then do it again for the length. Then comb and do mousse throughout. Much better styling with the mixture of all three together in my experience.

Im not sure if that means before or after the water is squeezed out. I always add the leave in before I squeeze the water out of my hair. I'm not sure if this is the best way, but it works for me. Maybe some others will post about what they do. Maybe Bruingirl can tell us how they do it at the salon.

Hi Hilary77, glad to hear using more leave-in is working for you. The 1-2 pumps that is suggested is a guideline...some hair types need more some less. I use 1 full pump from the 32oz as my leave-in applied to soaking wet hair (before any water is squeezed out) starting at the ends and working up thru the shaft...then I rake my fingers thru the crown. At the salon the leave-in and styling products are applied to soaking wet hair as well. HTH's

Hi reiki604...you can leave some of your 2nd cleansing in your hair...that's what they do when Katia's hair is styled curly. There's a video on youtube showing team wen cleansing her hair, applying product and using a diffuser....her hair needs lots of moisture and that's why the 2nd cleanse isn't completely rinsed.

Since too much leave in makes my fine hair too greasy looking by day 2, I have started using a bit less and I try not to get much of it on the crown of my hair.

I do mostly only the ends,twisting like Chaz does and never on my bangs.

When I am out of the shower, and have towel dried my hair,just before blow drying, I use lots of the replenishing spray just on my ends.

That seems to work better for me.

Thanx for answering my question. My hair is long and very curly and I let it air dry so this helps. I just add a little VTS.

[beach-mom]

I'm one of the ones who balked at the leave in for a long time. Then I called Chaz' salon and talked to a stylist there. She said to use a pea-sized amount as my leave in. So that's what I'm doing. I just started mixing the styling cream with it. My hair is layered, a little above the shoulders. Should I be using more?
