My core CC is Pom and my DH's is Fig, but I love the Seasonal's and would use them all the time if I could. My concern is that they all contain the amino acid complex and I am afraid it might be too much protein. Wondering if there are any wenners who use only the seasonals and what your experience has been. TIA

Re: Using Seasonal CC's only?

I pretty much use the seasonals exclusively. My hair is very ""easy"" though so all the wens seem to work about the same for me.

Re: Using Seasonal CC's only?

I use seasonals, 613 and TT and POM. In that rotation, since I use Seasonals in their season, TT and POM get a bit crowded out. I am not having any issues. I am AA with relaxed hair. I also use 613 on my roots while I remoist, then use 613 as my remoist every third cleanse day. So I am really getting a lot and my hair seems to like it.

Re: Using Seasonal CC's only?

I have been using TT as my first cleanse and seasonals for my second cleanse lately. I think using the TT first keeps my hair from getting too much protein. It's working great for me so far. Also, the TT is great for my scalp.

I have drier hair that can't tolerate protein but I only use some of the seasonals (no cores) and have had no issues. I think the seasonals that work well for me have the best proportion of moisture and amino acids.

Re: Using Seasonal CC's only?

For the first year or so I used the seasonals all the time. Now my hair can't take the extra aminos as often so I only use them sometimes and rarely alone. I have to do the opposite of Hilary, I have to use the seasonal for the first cleanse and either a core or kids cc for the second otherwise my hair feels drier and rough.

Re: Using Seasonal CC's only?

I have seen a few posts about the too much protein thing & don't really understand it. I have never heard of that before. When I used the recommender on Chaz's site it came up with POM. So far POM works best for me out the of Classics I have tried which are the ones that were in the Dec TSV. I love WWC. Just bought SHL & SOB which both left my hair a little frizzy. I have only used them once so need to use them again to see how my hair turns out. I have been using mainly WWC every other day since I bought it in Dec & can now get away with just one cleanse & my hair looks good. So far I like the seasonals better then the classics & prefer to use those.

Re: Using Seasonal CC's only?

Thank you all for your relies.

HappyDaze, If I understand your reply right, you only use the seasonals, no core CC's. Could you tell me what Seasonals you find work best for your hair? I have very thick but, fine hair, blonde and some natural curl. Sometime feels a little dry but would consider it normal most of the time. TIA

Re: Using Seasonal CC's only?

I use mostly seasonals as my second cleanse too. I love the way my hair smells, and people always comment on it. I never thought about too much protein. My hair is pretty normal, but color treated. My favorite non-seasonals are SAM and Pom. Until recently I had been using 613 as my first cleanse about every two weeks; now after seeing Chaz talk about it on one of his visits, I'm mixing 1/2 613 with one regular for my first cleanse - maybe once a week. I always use a seasonal as my leave in. So far, so good! Smile

Re: Using Seasonal CC's only?

I only use Seasonals....but I have to say the newer ones from FTP, WWC, SHP, and now the amazing SHL....(the exception was the FAS, I LOVED that one)..the ones with the honey (in some form) are the best for my hair..I currently am only using the new Honey Lilac for both cleanses and would be happy to use it forever if I could get my hands on enough of it...Smiley Happy

My Hub loves the TT, and currently is using up the cores I had left, his hair says "yes" to any of them...!
