Oh who can forget Rio!!!!!!! :lachen::lachen::lachen: Turned my aunt's hair green! I am so glad my mom waited to let my aunt buy it first before trying that mess!

Girl!...thing happened to me. I wanted to get out from using a relaxer so bad..I had the nerve to try it again when they changed it or renamed it Copa. Oh the memories......:lachen:
 
My natural hair hated Garnier too! Haven't even thought about it since.

Lets see what else... Pink lotion sucked, Motions anything sucks, ORS Olive Oil lotion did nothing for me...I guess thats it for what I've tried.

ETA: I DID try the soft curl cream on my texlaxed hair and it was an awful, sticky, gummy mess!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
BoooooooooOOOO!
Get off the stage and quit lyin on that liquid gold!:lachen::lachen::lachen::lachen:
JUST KIDDING!:lachen:
But seriously... how did you use it? What kind of hair do you have? Were you using it with heat or airdrying, and how did you do it?
 
Add Texture and Tones to the Soft Sheen pile of crap. I used a dark brown rinse, it was RED. TO make matters worse, went to bed without a scarf...woke up, thought I was bleeding because RED rinse was EVERYWHERE. If the police came in they would have thought it was a murder scene.

Softsheen Carson Optimum Oil Conditioner--STAY AWAY!!!! 5 months and NUMEROUS deep conditions, steam treatments, co washes, hardcore proteins, light proteins, clarifyings and chelatings later, my hair is STILL effed up. My texture changed (for the worse) my hair is dull and BREAKING! The breakage won't freakin stop! It all happened after I used this devil in a yellow tube.

Stay away from that crap! When you see it in the store, knock it off the shelves, cover your hair and RUN for dear life!!!!

Seriously, from the consistency of that crap, you'd think somebody sneezed in the container. :barf:

ok, I'm shocked that the fraudiest of frauds hasn't been listed.

WILD GROWTH OIL

I been using it twice a week for 3+ years now and ain't nothing near wild growth happening. It is however, the only oil that doesn't just sit on my hair so it's a staple, but they know good and well they lied coming up with the name.
 
:nono: I'm calling out all natural shampoos. I haven't found one that has not dried & tangled my hair. Natural conditoners/moisturizers are easy to find; but, shampoos on the other hand (for me) are a big headache. I'm to the point where I will not try another again.

The following products may work for you but they totally, completely, and utterly sucked the life outta my hair:

Aubrey Organics White Camellia Ultra Smoothing Shampoo
Treasured Locks HumiNature Mosturizing Shampoo
Treasured Locks Silky Salon Smoothing Shampoo
Qhemet Biologics Egyptian Wheatgrass
MyHoney Child HoneyNutt Scalp Cleanser
MyHoney Child Organic Shea Butter Scalp Cleanser
Nacidit Coconut Shampoo
Eluecnce Moisture Benefits Shampoo

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

I am hesitant to call any products fraud just b/c it didn't work for me, but in the case of Perm Repair I must agree this crap sucks!!!!
 
I agree about the quality with every product posted in this thread, with the exception of Elucence. My list:

1.NTM
2.That Pink Oil Sheen or Lotion -STAY FAAAAR AWAY!
3.Aubrey Organics shampoos- The GPB was the only one product in their line that was any good.
4. Any type of hair grease.
5. The old Wanakee products eventually rob your hair of moisture due to the excessive coating.
6. Affirm Relaxer- eventually this stuff will make your hair fall out by the roots. You won't notice it at first, but you will notice your hair getting thinner....then you'll switch.

7. Practically any haircare product geared specifically towards African Americans.
8. Practically any all natural hair product, even the ones that are raved about on this board.

Oooh, girl, you took me BACK!!!!!!!! :lachen: :lachen: :lachen:

I remember using that stuff like it was the holy grail back in the day - could never figure out why I was using up all of this stuff to 'repair' my hair, and it still felt like dead hay and broke any time the wind blew!!!!!!!

I'm almost scared to look at the ingredients! :lol:

Yeah - the more I learn, the sadder the state of the black hair 'care' market is ..... :nono: *sigh*
 
Anything geared specifically towards "black" hair or is commonly found in your local BSS. The only exception (for me -- I know some people hate it) is CON shampoo, green bottle. It really leaves my hair feeling nice and moisturized though I'm sure it's loaded with crap.

I think Tresemme should be added to the OUT list too lol. I used the Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray, a heat protectent, I didn't like it much. Cathy Howse's Dew does way better as a protectent than Tresemme, and it gives way more shine and bounce too.

Then, there's the Touchable Curls Shaping Milk from their curl care. Didn't like it either. I guess I expected too much from this one. It didn't even define my waves not to talk of actually curling them! I still have an untouched bottle in my closet, maybe I should put it on eBay....

No-no to the Heat Tamer Spray and Shaping Milk :nono:

I agree with this. I didn't like Mane N Tail either......made my hair feel like sand paper.
 
My mother uses Motions her hair is beautiful!! She came to visit me and bought some for me I used it and my hair was dry as @#$! Definantly not for me!!!

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.

:lachen::lachen::lachen::lachen::lachen:

that almost made me choke on my own saliva!
 
Hair grease never worked for me. It does nothing to my hair but just sit on it. :ohwell:

Same thing with my mother's hair too.
 
Pink oil was my Ishhh!!!! I used that stuff everyday back in high school and had no problems with my hair! But Today I just don't like greasy hair and my natural hair is very picky in what I can and cannot use LOL!!!!

Um.... yes yes yes yes yes yes yes....Just looking at the ingredient lists on those products you can tell they're all the same they just put them in different bottles with different labels. Same ish by a different name, I always say.
