Let's OUT the Frauds!!!

[d-rock]

ITA with everybody that said Luster's Pink oil and the Soft Sheen carson oil therapy. Palmer's coconut Oil hair milk. While it moisturized it beaded up in my hair and I spend days picking out these little white gel looking beds.

I picked that up yesterday in a BSS and put it back when I saw "petrolatum and mineral oil." I think it has potential, but that need to reformulate it. Didn't look like it would spread nicely in my crazy mixed texture hair. Oh that Palmer's Deep Conditioner, was a no go for me too. My hair felt hard after using it once and I had to get my HE HH to fix it.

Pink secretions from the loins of satan himself that stuff needs t/b relabeled as hair kryptonite.

OMG yes... My mom swore by this stuff when I was a child. My hair did better when I started throwing the bottles away a week after she bought them.

What about that African Pride line? Or African Royale? Those products are a bunch of ish!

African Pride braid spray was great for my hair...kept my hair moisturized and I retained a lot of length when i came out of my braids.

I do agree with the Optium Oil stuff...what a mess!

Hair mayonnaise.

This did not work for me at all.

It gave me soooo much dandruff.

Pink Lotion is also a mess and the Motions Hair lotion smelt amazing but left my hair brittle and dry.

Miss Jessie's did NOT work for my curls. I didn't like the smell, the feel, it left my hair crunchie and greasy and frizzy.

 

[PuffyBrown]

Perm Repair...I forget who makes it.
My sister used this all the time when she was in high school. I would sneak and use her products. I remember my hair kept breaking off and so was hers. I tried again as an adult (before finding LCHF), and it was doing the same thing.

Here it is....its a proline product

All those multicolored bottles of "grease." Yuck.

 

[Bigmommah]

I guess it's too late to say Rio, huh?

It is never too late to put that crap on front street. To this day I'm surprised I have any hair at all.

 

[Eisani]

I agree. Along with Pump it Up. I hate the Optimum Oil Therapy line.

Pure hell in a bottle. It doesn't even SMELL kosher. Barf.

None of mine are really frauds, since there are people who've had success with them, but not me...

1) Anything from Garnier Fructis. I swear my hair starts racing off of my head within moments of seeing those green bottles.
2) Anything from Motions. Shine and faux-healthy looking hair...followed by breakage, breakage, breakage.
3) Anything from Nexxus. It just leaves weight on my hair, doesn't do a thing for it.
4) Pink Lotion. I have no words regarding pink lotion.
5) Optimum Oil Therapy. More like Optimum Oil Hair Sabotage.

OMG, I so remember Perm Repair. I used it when I had a relaxer and it did nothing, well, actually my hair started breaking off. erplexed

ITA....The only exception in the motions line is the silk protein conditioner.

Sorry I've been away guys... I had to go to work and cook dinner for my family tonight so my mom wouldn't have to do it

I haven't read the whole thread yet, but I definitely aggree with some I have read such as Dr. Miracles and the "infamous" Pink Lotion lol. I'm so glad I found out about this site and have learned about quality products

 

[cieramichele]

That wash and curl shampoo

 

[thinkpinkprincess]

Oooh, I second that! I bought HH Hello Hydration and compared it to Garnier Fructis' Moisture Works line a few months ago. HH definitely won by a landslide, I had slip from it, and Garnier left my hair dry, knotted, no slip. If you want your hair effed up and nasty, Garnier's your best bet! Terrible

yup!! I do like their serum and their volume spray but other than that, GF is a BIG no-no my mom STILL uses their stuff thinking that it's got all of this great nutrients for her hair and she won't listen to me!

 

[thinkpinkprincess]

Haha I had the same experience with this stuff! I was completely annoyed..just made my hair stiff greasy, hard, and NOT moisturized at all.

Umm sorry folks but NEXXUS does nothing for my hair especially Humectress. Made my hair feel gummy or coated...I am in love though with emergencee!

Same here! I thought I was the only one!!

 

[fivetimestwo]

any Garnier styling products...their conditioners are great and even some of their poos, but it took me a long time to figure out that nothing in their styling line would work for me...

Pretty much any product that claims to fight reversion (with the exception of sabino and, in some cases, aveda anti-humectant). None of that ish works and I've wasted tons of $$ on this stuff

Lustrasilk cholesterol (don't remember which version). Hated it!! My worst detangling experience EVER!

 

[BrooklynSouth]

I cannot say fraud for any product I've tried because what works for some may not work for others..but the John Frida{whatever..Freida, friedup, feedup} does nothing for my frizz.

[janaq2003]

Garnier Leave in made my hair feel like straw!

 

[caramelma]

CHI SILK INFUSIONS. 100% CRAP.

 

[HairBarbie]

The Neutrogena Triple Moisture line. The products seems to leave the hair as soon as you rinse it out. The leave in never worked either, it left my hair dry.

 

[sweetgal]

IA, both left my hair itchy as hell and I got 2 full bottles I got to use up

Never left my hair moist, dried it to the bone!

 

[holland]

Kinky Curly Curling Custard-Left my hair as sticky as fly paper and shrivelederplexed

 

[aloof one]

Ellin LaVar textures

The masque was awful. It did nothing. Worse, it smelled like Dishwashing Liquid.

Awww, I've been hearing a lot of good rave about NTM leave-in. I was actually looking for it a two days ago, I guess I'll have to further my research

It works for some and not for others. It might work on your hair, I hope you don't change your mind because of my post.

 

[natstar]

Hawaiian Silky 14 in 1-left my hair sticky and it didn't feel moisturized

Organix conditioner- left my hair feeling coated and dry- I may try again but clarify or use this for detangling purposes only
