WEN - Page 2

SurferWife · ‎12-12-2010

I use 5 pumps first cleanse & 5 pumps second cleanse. My hair length is just at the bottom of my neck which I guess is considered short. 5 pumps feels like plenty to me.

For the mousse I typically use maybe 10-12 pumps and that works for me, too.

If you use WEN do you acutally use the amounts Chaz suggests? Seems like alot! I have chin length thinning hair. I am using the last of my supply but I use one pump to cleanse. I wondered because he was REALLY stressing the amounts this morning. (I am not buying again cause it just makes my hair limp day 2. Just wondered...)
@bargainsgirl Your hair may be limp on day 2 because you aren't using enough. I used WEN a few years back (only quit because it was to expensive for me) and liked it a lot. You really need to, at least at first, use the recommended # of pumps for your hair length and see how it does. Then you can start adjusting up or down. Also keep in mind that the # of pumps depends on the size of the bottle because the pumps are bigger/smaller depending on size.

One more thing...are you using enough water to make a creamy "froth" in your hair? If not, your hair may not be getting clean because the product won't rinse out properly. That "splash" of water Chaz recommends was never enough for me...I would apply the product all through my hair, massage in a bit, then stick my head directly under the shower spray for a second for a good wet-down! If the product didn't get "frothy", I'd do it again. Then rinse thoroughly, while running your fingers through your hair.

Using WEN does take a bit longer but, if it works for you, it's a great product. I realize that not every product works for everyone.

BINGO! A splash is really a quick dip of the head under the shower. I always make sure it feels "foamy" like a shampoo feels sudsy. I'll add a splash or two more if needed. It does make a big difference.

I tried WEN use a lot of product. I admire his business success. However, I was dissppointed in WEN product line. Scents are overwhelming especially if on chemo infusions like myself.

@Umarose

I can understand how you feel since I have a lot of trouble with scents myself.

Which is why I stick to the few formulas whose fragrance don't bother me, along with the 319 (no added fragrance) and rice based Fragrance Free cleansing conditioners. I find the Bella Spirit line to have a very soft scent too.

I also use the 319 body cream and Bella Spirit facial products.
