I wouldn't call it a fraud...but,

Miss Jessie's- pretty much the entire line- it didn't add anything to my hair...
Kinky Curly- Again, they didn't hurt my hair, they just didn't add anything to my hair...
 
This is not a product but I would like to out my cousin's girlfriend who tells me every year how long her hair is over email and on the phone (its longer than yours she would say). But when it comes time for me to see her she always has in a weave or just got her hair cut like 6 inches.

She's a fraud.

Thats just like this celebrity stylist I read aboutwho says her product line helps to keep your hair healthy, growing, and nourished; but thats hard to determine when she only styles and maintains weaves.....
 
These aren't just gross to look at. You have to be really careful with these cheap green, orange, and purple colored dollar store "greases" aimed specifically at black people. I was reading the ingredients on Softee's and was shocked to find BHT, a known carcinogen.

Also on a serious note - Henna 'n Placenta...run away from it for your health's sake. I read news reports on it causing cancer (proven cases with actual people, not just lab rats) and I'm shocked that it hasn't been discontinued. There might be a few threads on here about it.

What's BHT?
 
I too fell victim to the Pink Lotion curse (many years ago)

My hair was dry, so I would use pink lotion, the drier it got the more pink lotion I used. The more pink lotion I used the shorter my hair became. :nono:

Never made the correlation, just thought I had bad hair. :rolleyes: Besides the bottle said it was moisturizing, why would they lie!!?!?!?!?! :pullhair::slap:
 
Mane 'N Tail conditioner. I bought a big bottle because of all the great reviews. It left my hair stiff and dry. I bought over a year ago and only used it once. I might add some EVOO to it and see what happend.
 
Ditto. Didn't they change the formula or something? A lot of times these products are good, but when they go mad commercial they decide to change the formula. The same thing happened to creme of nature and nexxus humectress. To get the good Nexxus, you have to look for the gold package or gray top instead of the ones with the black top you can find everywhere.
Regarding Mane and Tail Conditioner:
I purchased the large bottle as well based on reviews. It didn't work for my hair. I had no slip. I used it all up during cowashing. I would but it on and then rinse it out. Then I would add a conditioner with slip to my hair in the shower.

yup...i found it to be pretty waxy. same with Nuetrogena Triple Moisture after a few uses. For those who like a waxy feel over individual strands it might work, but it think you could be better off just mixing olive and avocado oil as a preepoo. The others imply fraud by claiming it's the original formula when we all know that it isn't.

This is not a fraud but the Neutrogena Triple Moisture doesn't work for me either. I know people that swear by it but when I am done with this jar I am going to try something else. Pantene has a new moisturizer I want to try.

I'm gonna have to agree with everyone who said Pink Moisturizer...ugh...Back in HS my hair used to look like one big greasy strand of hair in a sad little ponytail...:nono:
Also, some sort of cholesterol deep conditioner- i think it was by Queen Helene's. Ew. It left my hair 1 big knotted birds nest even though I followed the directions to a 'T'
 
One of the bigger frauds of 2010 has to be Creme of Nature shampoo...it was a staple for a lot of people including myself because it left the hair soft, moisturized and sulfate-free...but low and behold they decided to change their formula to include sulfates...wheredeydodatat? needless to say I dropped that staple like a hot potato

co-signing anything ending in "GRO" :lachen::lachen::lachen:
 
Hydratherma Naturals Moisturizer
Nexxus Therappe Moisturizing shampoo
Silk Elements Cholesterol

All of these left my hair SUPER dry
 
thank you for this! I've been eyeing Dr. Miracle's products but I was so skeptical and thought that "official' looking packaging served as a distraction for a not so great product.

Dr. Miracle's whole line!!!! :nono: Its pure crap to me.

Pink Lotion...I dont know if this has worked for some people, but it REALLY makes my hair feel like sand paper. :wallbash:
 
I'm sorry to say this, but Aveda Dry Remedy Conditioner ... 'twas not the remedy for my dry hair. :nono:

I had a LONG conversation with a couple of black (African American?) girls who worked for Aveda. They confirmed that MOST black women will find that it Dry Remedy doesn't work for them. It got returned regularly by black clients because it just seemed to suck the moisture out regularly. They regularly recommended that if Dry Remedy doesn't work - try Damage Remedy which seemed to be the counterbalance for the product.

However, that doesn't seem to stop the other girls from regularly reaching for Dry Remedy if you walk in and say you want something to stop you hair from feeling so dry.
 
Dr. Miracles products are the devil! My sister and cousin used some hair cream of theirs and it had both of their heads burning!!! They had to wash it out shortly after they put it on. I stay faaaaaaaaaaaaar away from that stuff!
