Lusters Pink Oil! It made my hair so dry that I would put on more to try and combat the dryness not realising I was making the problem worse! ------------- Natural 10 years 3b/4a armpit length hair |
Plus I could never distribute it throughout my hair and it caused lint and tangles.Posted By: Phoenix1017

Herbal Essences. I really dislike those products. They make my hair dry, brittle, and tangled. (I used them a loooong time ago) They smell nice though. ------------- http://fire.prohosting.com/p1017 - My Hair Site Copy site: http://phoenix1017.sitesled.com

L'oreal's Studio Line Springing Curls Mousse. I used it once and ended up having to wash my hair again before the day was over and using 2 leave in conditioners and 2 hair moisturizers because it made my hair SO FREAKING DRY in a short amount of time. I sent that back to the company for a refund. ------------- Hair type: who knows? Length: 23 inches as of 3/10/06 MY HAIR IS OFFICIALLY BRA STRAP LENGTH!! Goal: Waist Length, which is only 30 inches so ADVISE ME ON HOW TO GET JUST 7 MORE INCHES OF GROWTH! |

Not a personal experience, but a friend of mine used the ORS Olive Oil Home relaxer kit. So much of her hair fell out. It was so thin when she was done. ------------- Natural since March 2006 No "heat" challenge for Winter 08-09 public.fotki.com/Vanity3 keepitsimplesista.ning.com/profile/Vanity1920 |

deexox I agree with the hollywood products. I used the carrot cream thinking that I was on to something because of the ingredients and boy was I wrong. I had a gummy flake up build up in my hair. what a a waste ------------- "God makes no mistakes" he created you the way you are suppose to be. |

Not exactly sure which product it was, but it was a conditioner from Pantene. After all the detangling that I did...I put that mess on and my hair was tangled more than ever and crispy and it was still wet during all of this. ------------- Natural BC May 9, 2004 |
Threw that hot mess away, no wonder it was just sitting in the cabinet.Posted By: kellie7777

I used to use Pantene Pro-V Shampoo and Conditioner on my hair. then one day they changed the labels. my goodness. i didnt think a new appearance would affect me. But it was so drying. No matter how much i conditioned.
I used to get the Infusium leave in from Philly all the time, but the Infusium bought in Canada I find is just not good. I find it does nothing for your hair except wet it.
Paul Mitchell never again. . I tried that leave in conditioner and cried all the way back to the shower.
 My hair was just cracking and breaking off after i came out from under the dryer hood. I couldn't comb it. But again, this is stuff bought in Canada. I find the products here suck. They are just not the same as the ones in the U.S. ------------- http://public.fotki.com/Kell1e/ Transitioning since Aug 06 Last Relaxer Apr 06 |

Breakthru and Optimum. Breakthru broke through my hair and Optimum dries out my ends...almost like ends of a match. I guess i had an optimum disadvantage of seeing a breakthough for my hair(lol!) ------------- beauty is in the eye of the beholder;make sure that your vision of it doesn't blind anyone elses! |

My hair did not agree with Hollowood Carrot Cream or the cholesterol. They made my hair hard, I had to re-shampoo my hair after it was dry, and I used a hooded dryer. ------------- |

O h my god! I've been using the Herbal Essences kind that's supposed to help dry/color treated/ permed hair. I've been having problems with frizzy hair but i just thought it was because of the summer. The more I think about it, maybe it's that stuff that's doing it. I'm still learning about this stuff though. ------------- Rejan Robinson |

I bought six bottles of Herbal Essence for dry color treated hair. Because, they were on sale, and people have raved about them. I did not like this product, it made my hair hard, and tangled. I am getting good results now, by adding olive oil, and or a moisturizing conditioner. ------------- |

Herbal Essence not for my hair.. i used to use it too cause i love the smells, but that's all they got going for them in my opinion.
