I'm hoping this isn't a re-run of any previous chats, but I thought this would be fun. How do y'all use your seasonal CCs? I only use them for my second cleanse and use the core formulas (TT or Fig or mix of both) for my first cleanse. Do any of you use the seasonals for both cleanses? If so, do you like the results? I plan to experiment with a seasonal only cleanse tonight (due to my seasonal hoarding tendencies) but would like to hear your opinion about it if you've tried it. Aloha!!

I only ever use the seasonal CCs for my second cleanse. Most of the seasonals are very moisturizing to me and since I have an oily scalp I don't feel that they're the right choice for me for my first cleanse.

Now that I am finally getting a routine down, I use a seasonal CC for my second cleanse (I use a restorative one for the first). But - if I end up having to wash my hair unexpectedly over the weekend (normally I don't wash on the weekend unless we have francy plans or I went swimming in the pool or beach), I will just use a seasonal twice.

My first EVER Wen CC was the Spring Cherry Blossom this year -
I used that for both cleanses before I started buying ALL THE WEN and it worked well enough to convert me to Wen. I hope you like your results Smiley Happy

My hair Loves the Seasonals.... Until it dosen't.  Using a Seasonal exclusively leads to dull heavy hair eventually for me.  Love them as a second cleanse or on special occasions as the one and only.  My go to formulas are the classic TT and FIG never a problem in four years with that combo.  Love, Love, Love my Fall Tuscan Pear though.

I change it up depending on what I have open.  I usually mix and right now I'm using WVM with SAM as my first cleanse, SHP and STP as my second.  Sometimes I use MIF (now mixed with Light)  as my first cleanse.

My routine has changed drasticly over the years. This year, I'm using the seasonals and restoratives a lot more than have in the last couple years. I do sometimes use seasonals for both cleanses. I was using CA for my first cleanse instead of the kids ( I got a little bored with just the kids), plus I'm trying to use up my SHP gallon from last year. 

 

As my hair is getting longer again since I cut it off, I've been trying to make sure I have enough moisture for the ends now that they're around waist length again. Although my hair is not dry at all and my ends look great, I'm just trying to be proactive. Especially since I'm no longer air drying. 

 

I'm fine with using seasonals for both cleanses, but MIF is current favorite but I'm trying to balance out my usage since I have so many open bottles in the shower.

I use my seasonals for both cleanses but add one part 319 or 613 to two parts CC on the second cleanse.  At the same time, I use the CC as my body wash.  I rarely use the same CC two times in a row.  Alternating  between  Seasonal/Restorative/Classic formulas is the best method for my hair.  This summer I have been doing more RTM applications, especially just before bed and while I'm doing my make-up in the morning..  In June, Chaz mentioned that if you don't (or can't)  do oil treatments very often you can fill that gap with more RTM spritzes.  It's all good!

Re: Using Seasonal CCs

[ Edited ]

I am new to Wen since this past spring. So far I have some core CCs and spring and summer seasonals. I have been trying to figure out what works best for me and what I've found the best so far is using Lavender, TT or SAM for my first quick cleanse (scalp and hair) and then a seasonal for my 2nd cleanse, but I don't use it on my scalp, just my hair and leave it in longer to condition my hair.

My hair is in pretty good condition, but is straight, slightly dry, thin and flat, it mostly needs body and some moisture.

I know a lot of people here use 613 or 319 as a mixer and I'm very excited to try these, just waiting for a good kit or ODO Smiley Happy 

 

Do most of you apply your 2nd cleanse to your scalp as well? Do you find that works well for you and is it recommended to do this?
