= Tangle city! [i almost never have problems w/tangles during washing]

ETA: After looking at Sassygirl's post below, I have to concur. /images/graemlins/smile.gif Especially Redken Heavy/All Soft anything and Pink Oil Moisturizer. /images/graemlins/nono.gif
 
For my hair anyway...

Worst Shampoo:
Nexxus Therappe
Nexxus Botanoil

Worst Conditioner:
Nexxus Humectress
Redken Heavy Cream

Most Overrated Product:
Keracare Humecto /images/graemlins/look.gif

Worst Product Ever Invented:
Luster's Pink Oil

Worst Ad Campaign:
Dr. Miracle
Relaxer ads that target little girls /images/graemlins/frown.gif
 
Worst shampoo: Neutrogena (the kind they have at the hotels)- drying.

Worst conditioner: Suave Professionals Awapuhi - for some reason, when I tried it, my scalp itched like crazy.

Worst gel: Fantasia sparkling gel - didn't hold back the frizzies and I think it caused breakage.

Worst leave-in: Suave Professional Awapuhi - again - it makes my scalp itch.
 
Worst Shampoo: Cream of Nature (left my hair with tons of buildup)

Worst Condtioner: Redken Smooth Down Conditioner (This stuff is garbage. So drying! The Smooth Down Butter Treat is much better!)

Overrated Product: Elasta Qp Mango Butter/Suave Milk and Honey ( They just didnt agree with my hair /images/graemlins/frown.gif )

Worst Setting Lotion: Motions Conditioning Setting Lotion ( I left my hair feeling sticky)
 
After a trip to the Indian grocery Store:
Worst Product of the Year

Anoop Hair Oil(left my hair smelling like an ashtry, even after washing)- I flushed this stuff it was so bad...

Most Overated Product

Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Mask - Didn't do much to my hair, had to mix it with Motions CPR to get some decent results

Nature's Blessing Hair Pomade-after much careful consideration and hunting this stuff down like an animal, it was not worth the time and effort, that stuff ain't nothing but colored vaseline, all it did was sit on my scalp and moved me closer to a wash day I was itching so bad..

I have to agree with Sassy, Dr. Miracle and his stuff, anybody can dilly of some vaseline and call it hair grease, but a miracle, ah, I don't think so....sooo Dr. Miracle it's time to go back to the lab, don't give up your day job...
 
Worst Shampoo: Suave Clarifying Shampoo

Worst Moisturizer: ORS Shea Butter Lotion

Most Overhyped Products: John Frieda Dream Curls & Suave Tropical Conditioner
 
Suave conditioners (any flavor) did absolutely nothing for me. I am most dissapointed by Frederic Fekkai Moisturizing Conditioner w/ Shea Butter. That sucka sent me back 30 bucks, but at least my mother loves it. /images/graemlins/frown.gif
 
worst moisturizer--ORS shea butter lotion, elasta qp mango butter, pantene r & n daily moisturizing crap or whatever it is

Most Overhyped products- elasta qp mango butter

i dont have alot of worst products..they r either ok or perfect /images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
Most Overhyped definitely goes to : Triple Moisture everything and Salerm 21.../images/graemlins/barf.gif I demand my 20 bucks back! /images/graemlins/mad.gif

Ditto. I think my bottles were rancid from having sat on the shelf at Sally's BSS for too long. The thick oil glued my new growth in clumps. I gave up on extending the relaxer and went in for a touchup the next day. My stylist wanted to know what stinky glue was in my hair.

<font color="purple"> Audra Chanell ~ What did you dislike about Surge Hair Revitalizer? I just bought some yesterday, so I have no opinion either way. It's good to know the pros and cons of products, though. Please share. TIA. /images/graemlins/smile.gif</font>

<font color="purple"> Mkstar826 ~ Our hair seems to hate the same products. I haven't tried Carol's Daughter products yet but I had been thinking specifically about trying out the Kizzi one. What didn't you like about it? I'd appreciate whatever you could share since her products aren't inexpensive and with shipping, I'd like to save myself money if I can. TIA. /images/graemlins/smile.gif</font>
 
Worst Shampoo - Garnier Fructis for Dry/Damaged Hair
Worst Conditioner - Garnier Fructis Deep Conditioner

Worst shampoo/ Sebastian laminates Just gross Yuck! /images/graemlins/censored.gif


Most hyped product/ KeraCare humecto I despise this junk
 
This thread has made my mouth drop a couple of times! LOL.

It really is informative and shows how one product is wonderful on one person's head and totally differs on another...some of the worst products on this thread are things my hair loves...

Wow...
 
MonaLisa I think what your saying is something we all have thought at some point. You are really taking a gamble when trying something on this board that others rave about. I have wasted a little money on stuff that was sooooooooo hyped up on this board but in turn was nothing but junk. The key is finding what really works for you and sticking with it.
 
So far(I haven't used everything in the arsenal yet), it's just been the VO5 Strawberries and Cream Con. My hair hated it. It was just like adding water to already wet hair.

/images/graemlins/lachen70.gif This thread is about to be pure comedy.
On that note, is Salerm 21 really whale sperm. I was looking at it the other day and almost threw up looking at it. /images/graemlins/blush.gif
