What Does Your S/O Think of Your Wen Hair?

RyBelle · ‎03-16-2014

Hi guys!

I just used FTP for the first time (I'll review it a little later in a new thread) and my boyfriend seriously will NOT stop smelling and running his hands through my hair!

We've been together since our early teens (we're in our early twenties now), so he's seen my hair go from being the worst its ever been to the best its ever been thanks to Wen!

It's funny because he was so turned-off by the idea of using Wen when I first tried to convert him, but now he's a TT addict and his hair is ridiculously thick to boot. If you've ever watched Supernatural, he looks like a doppleganger of the older brother, including the hair ${#emotions_dlg.lol}$

His friends always want to know what he does to make his hair look awesome, and he's always bragging to our mutual friends about how awesome he thinks my hair is. Granted, my hair is a very striking shade of natural-born copper, but it's still cute that he likes to talk about it to our friends and even total strangers ${#emotions_dlg.wub}$

So, just curious, what does YOUR significant other think about your hair, and does he/she use Wen too? I'm curious! ${#emotions_dlg.thumbup}$

Unfortunately, my boyfriend dislikes the smell of my WEN hair (although he loves the results). For maximum benefits, I am stuck using TT and FIG and I am unable to regularly use the seasonals.

I have to agree with him on the smell. TT and FIG are the strongest scents (imo) and I completely understand how it could be off-putting for someone who is sensitive to fragrance, such as my BF.

Luckily, the scent fades a lot once my hair is dry, and he loves running his hands through my WEN hair at that point!

That's funny because I personally can't stand the smell of TT (I'm not even fragrance sensitive, I just don't like it haha) and won't ever use it myself but hey, if it works for my boyfriend and it keeps his hair looking awesome, I don't complain ${#emotions_dlg.biggrin}$

Have you tried cutting the scent of either of those two with another flavor? Maybe your hair can't regularly handle a full-serving of the seasonals but it could handle a half-and-half kinda thing? Just a thought.

My husband loves 613. He was using Fig and Pomegranate but his hair is very dry kind of ethnic and course and the 613 plus Sweet Almond styling creme seem to do his hair nicely. Now, if he would only use the oils and re moist and the other wonderful products! He has really nice hair. My hair is that kind of caucasian hair with oily scalp. Grass is always greener, right? His hair is naturally black with some white coming in. It's naturally straight but it's so full and the 613 really makes it shine. Mine is turning platinum, yuk. I don't want the commitment of coloring so I just leave it, B U T.........drum roll...Wen has made my natural color so rich. It has a deep luster I haven't seen since I was a teenager so that more than makes up for losing my hair color. It's a shame, it was such a deep, rich brown. The only thing I didn't like was it had a lot of red pigment in it. Here I go again, grass is always greener. Thanks for indulging me. xo

ryleigh - yes, I do mix other scents in occasionally, but I can't make it part of my regular rotation or my hair pays a price. Particularly with the seasonals because my hair doesn't do well with the protein overload.

I'll tell you a secret that I've recently been keeping, though (lol). I've been mixing the Herbal Essences Naked CC into my rotation with very good results. Even if I cleanse with WEN only, I will use the HE as my leave-in, which cuts the WEN smell down considerably. So far, it's been working...

Oh I love that stuff!

Have you tried the Color Me Happy CC from HE? It's phenomenal and actually has a bit more of a floral scent that may cancel out the Wen more so than the Naked CC (I personally think it performs just a tiny bit better too).

My husband loves my hair now but also says my hair was pretty before. He says it seems like my hair is thicker than ever, just alot of hair. The thing he loves the most now is how shiny it is, especially with SHP.

The only negative he says is that he misses how pretty my hair use to smell. He says my hair doesn't stink or anything (unless I'm using TT oil for a scalp treatment or when I used FAS, lol) but it just doesn't smell like anything really and he misses the pretty scents it use to be. That is one reason he likes when I used Tweak-d a few times- he said my hair smelled sooo pretty and he kept sniffing it and saying he missed my pretty scented hair. He actually asked me not to use the FAS anymore because it was too much and lingered in the bathroom and on the towels and my hair and I agreed with him on the scent so I gladly stopped using it.

I LOVE when he uses SMC on his hair- it smells soooooo good on him. That is his favorite WEN too. He will not use fig, TT or FAS as he really doesn't like the scent of those at all. Surprisingly, he really likes the scent of the Spring green tea gardenia one too and wow it smells great on him- very fresh and clean where on me it smelled a little too floral for my liking. He can use anything on his hair- he has alot of hair and it doesn't need anything special to look great but even with that said, he will only use WEN now.

I've been hesitant to try the Color Me Happy (pink bottle, right?) because there was a recent thread in which many posters reviewed it as very drying. That's why I chose to try the Naked, instead.

I will probably eventually try the CMH, though - if only because it seems to be more readily available (at least in my local stores). The Naked is often sold out. Anyway, thanks for your positive review of the CMH!

HD, don't even get me started on SHP and SMC - when I was using both of those consistently, my boyfriend wouldn't even give me any personal space because he loved them so much ${#emotions_dlg.lol}$

He literally bought me all the SHP accouterments just to keep the smell around - I normally buy my own Wen stuff, but he insisted! ${#emotions_dlg.biggrin}$
