Wen cc as body cleanser???

onejoyfulgirl · ‎06-12-2014

I have a lot of Wen to use up (2 SHP, 2 SAM, 1 FIG, 1 613). It was working well for me, but I have recently found a lot of success with the Curly Girl method and Wen is a no no (products with silicones are not allowed). I have found another cc that I love and is Curly Girl friendly, but I still want to use the Wen in some way. I know it is great for shaving, but I'm not that hairy ${#emotions_dlg.biggrin}$ and want to use it up faster. Has anyone tried using it as a body cleanser?

Yes, that is how I use formulas that are drying to my hair

I have never used it instead of a shower gel but I suppose it would be good. I would imagine that the SHP, 613 and SAM would be better than Fig as a body cleanser. You may just continue to use Fig as a shaving cream. I don't believe that I would like Fig as a body cleanser. I don't really like the Fig scent but I can tolerate it and do use it occasionally when my hair needs the extra moisture.

The 613 doesn't work for my hair (I'm strictly a TT and FIG girl). So to use up my stash of 613, I sometimes use it as a facial cleanser/mask when I'm in the shower.

If you have a dog or cat you can use it on them. I am trying to use up my stock pile of everything I have! NO MORE shopping/buying! If I find I need something I will go to a store to get it. NO MORE impulse shopping! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE....... :-)

It's also great as a hand soap in the winter months. That's how I use up the formulas my hair dislikes. BTW, glad you found something that works great for your hair!

I love 613 as a face wash. First few times I used it, it tingled quite a bit. I almost gave up on it, but my skin looked great afterwards. Now I consistently use it and my skin is used to it and looks and feels great.

I use which ever CC I'm using as a body wash. My skin loves it, makes it very soft. ${#emotions_dlg.thumbup1}$

Same with me - and this winter I've been using Fig as a body wash more often. Works great. Also have been using 613 as a facial wash for close to a year and my skin is looking really good.
