Re: Has anyone received their MIF, and what do you think?

Wow, I have to say I'm stunned by all of the love for MIF. I love Wen in general, including most of the seasonals. However, I could not wait to get the MIF OUT of my house. Once packaged back up in the box, I could still smell a bit of it from IN the box!! It's quite pungent IMO, with some kind of bad men's cologne characteristic to it that lingered on my hands after I tried to wash it off. I spritzed the mist on my hair, and it bothered me so much that i had to take a shower with the lavender Wen just to remove it before I got an even worse headache from it!

Re: Has anyone received their MIF, and what do you think?

Just used MIF and I must say while my hair feels soft and is very shiny, the scent is way too strong for me. It almost reminds me of something earthy and heavy with cedar. Too heavy for this time of year imo. The sc smelled much lighter and nicer! While the texture is very creamy and works in nicely, this is going back!

Re: Has anyone received their MIF, and what do you think?

Acim, maybe it's the cedar you are reacting to. Conifers (is cedar a conifer?) can put people off. I've tried some lotions at bath & body that made me feel ill. They had something mixed with bergamot that I had to rub my hands in the snow to get rid of. Lol. I'm sorry you didn't like the MIF. I'm fine with it, but I probably will cancel the AD unless it does something spectacular for my hair.

Still LOVE the scent and how the MIF cc performs on my shoulder length, curly hair.

Sadly, I've realized that the MIF rtm & sc are what is drying the h e c k out of my hair & I finally gave those to my daughter.

Re: Has anyone received their MIF, and what do you think?

Ok, I love the MIF....the scent I don't really get too much, but it goes away right after I rinse so that is fine...but it is nothing like BGT, BGT was drying and this is moisture plus for my hair....It feels thicker than the SHL, (which I love) but I needed less of the MIF due to the richness...I think MIF preforms like SHP/FTP, a winner for sure.

Still prefer my 613 SC, but the scent of the MIF SC is really nice. Also the RTM has a great scent, I just sparyed a bit in my wet hair, but have never really used RTM so I don't know other than I like the smell..

Have not tried my 613, as I didn't want to mix them yet..I am new to 613 CC so will see how I like it..

I would for sure repurchase the MIF CC, but now I am getting too many I love, SHL, SHP, FTP, FAS, WWC....!!

I agree. To me as far as performance, it performed exactly the same as the SHP, maybe even better, but I like the scent of the MIF better than the SHP.

This is huge for my hair...Even with WEN I have to use some hairspray, just the style, plus we currently live in super high humidity...Today, we are having 100% humidity/high winds,major rain, my hair has been blown high and low, and my curls come back each time!...My hair in all my years has NEVER bounced back after the wind and rain we had today, (even with a can of hairspray on it)! MIF you have taken over all other's in my line up!...That is my performance rating!...{#emotions_dlg.thumbup}

Re: Has anyone received their MIF, and what do you think?

I have really enjoyed this new scent. It works great for my hair and I hope it becomes a permanent formula in the line!! It took me a few days to think of what the cleansing conditioner scent reminded me of and then it totally hit me.....Ojon. Do you guys remember that line? I liked Ojon....but WEN is much better lol.

I like the MIF so much I may double up on my auto delivery for the next shipment!!

Have a great day everyone!!!!
