New formula a failure,

I contacted Bumble and Bumble reqarding their new formula. I also had used this product for 8+ years. The following is their reply---obviously they aren't going to bring back the old formula so I guess we search for something else. They are owned by Estee Lauder. I don't know if they changed their product world-wide because of a a division of a CA Envir. Protection Agency or if they just gave me this answer because I live in CA. You cannot buy the old product anyplace though. I find it hard to believe that the offending ingredient in a dime size amount of this product used by a small fraction of the world's women was truely going to change the world's air quality -- but maybe. I'm all for the environment buy this seems like a stretch. The label information listed on this site is from the "old" label and the ingredients have changed on the one currently being sold.
"Thank you for taking the time to contact Bumble and bumble.

They changed the formulation. It SUCKS.,

I've used bumble and bumble's Styling Creme for eight years, and it was the best product ever. In early 2007 they changed the formulation, and now it does absolutely nothing. No hold, no added texture. It feels like the original product when your hair is wet, but once it's dried, it feels like you have nothing on your hair...and I don't mean that in a good way.
I've compared the new bottle with the old, and the ingredients are dramatically changed. The list of ingredients is also much shorter.
Anyway, I requested a refund, and bumble and bumble sent me a prepaid envelope to send the product back. In fact, I just received my refund today, so at least they're honest. But I hope enough people tell them how their product sucks so they go back to the old formulation.

I don't know what I"m going to do. Why did they change it? I've been using it for years and years, there's nothing else like it, and now it doesn't do what it used to. I emailed the company and asked why they changed it. It doesn't do anything at all for me now. I end up mixing it with some gel from the drugstore - just isn't the same. Bleh.
