What's the worst product you ever used:

There's a circle in hell reserved for all Motions products...

That's no lie! There's another layer in hell reserved for Infusium 23 IMO.

ETA: Can't forget Victoria's So Sexy shampoo and conditioner supposedly for dry hair, what a joke.

Motions Moisture Plus :nono: I tried it straight up, I mixed it with other stuff....bottom line FOR ME that stuff totally SUCKS!!!! :barf:
 
The nefarious Luster's Pink Oil... :down:

And VO5 Moisture Milks Strawberries and Creme or whatever that horrible stuff is. Since so many folks on here raved about it, I went out and bought 3 bottles... stupid, stupid, stupid. How can it be even called a conditioner? It turned my hair into straw with 10k knots. :cry: it took me forever to comb them all out. Never again.

Infusium 23 leave-in conditioner. I used this years ago. It turned my hair to straw.

:mad: Yep. Tried this and my hair was so hard. Not even a hot oil treatment and deep conditioner could break the dryness in my hair. I had to use castor oil over night and then a hot oil treatment with castor oil before my hair felt normal.

i agree...pink oil mositurizer sucks!!!!!!!
 
Africa's best Carrot Cream- makes hair hard and stiff. Pink oil-makes hari stinky,and heavy. And Perm repair- makes hair hard. All these I used when I was relaxed- years ago. They would suck on any hair texture.

SHEA BUTTER!!
Co-sign! There are other bad products I've used but this is the most recent. That stuff sucked a**. :mad: I kept reading about how it was so good on naturally textured hair...um not for mine. I'll stick to mango butter...it wasn't broke so why did I try to fix it? :ohwell:
 
I have a few.

That Carrot cream from Hollywood. That stuff had me looking like a snow globe. Lots of gummy flakes.

Infusium 23 leave in con = Brillo pad hair

Dark & Lovely hair colour :nono: Herbal Essences shampoo (for dry hair:rolleyes:) - dried my hair out soooo badly). Maybe not the worst but Giovanni Direct - felt like I just put water in my hair.
 
**Pink oil moisturizer --> too greasy, made my hair feel and look like a mangy dog

**Hair Wax (the orange stuff) --> made my hair stiff as a board back in the day

**J&J Detangling Spray --> did nothing for me at all; would have been better off detangling while DCing

**Silk Elements Heat Protectant Spray --> does nothing for me; it actually makes my hair more prone to humidity and it frizzes up quicker

**Neem oil --> yuckie yuck yuck!!! This stuff smells horrible. Will never put it on my hair alone. Will use to mix w/ other homemade concoctions though.
 
Sebastian Wet- Made my hair feel like cold glass and look horrible

Garnier Fructis soft curl cream (for my twists/outs)- Horrible! No curl definition and a weird melted carmel type of consistency (runny) Ew!

Sebastian Potion 9- This stuff is definitely not for natural 4b hair! Gave it to my relaxed haired sister and it works great for her.

cosigning on the hair wax!! i think i just threw that out the other day!! had a whole BIG jar of the stuff!! now that i know better (and don't use heat much anymore) i don't need it!!
 
-Silk elements shampoo/conditioner

-Scrunci bun clip--completely broke off my hair (even though it was damaged from coloring) the parts that came off were right where the bun was. :eek: Learned to do a bun without the clip and my hair thanks me!:grin:
 
I have a few but I think the worst was KeraCare Humecto in the bottle. My hair was in a knot!!!! I actually cried :cry3: ...it scared the he!! out of me :( .

I was checking the ingredients out on this stuff just yesterday and if I'm not mistaken, their products contain petrolatum and mineral oil. I passed on these and bought the Suave professional humectant and extreme strength lines. These ARE SO GREAT!!! BUT, the herbal essenses hello hydration was a joke. My hair no likey. Oh, the cantu perm-my daughter's hair woulda cussed:censored: it out, but it's too young for that. Guess I'll toss the extra one I bought-but their styling products and leave in are dreamy.

Other than that, my hair is a whore, she likes most anything:look:

OO YES...Hello Hydration was crap ina bottle for me too! I actually used this on my Shih tzu. It gave her major slippage!
 
Motions is th worst for my hair! It just strips alllllll the moisture out. Even the Moisturizer made by Motions sucks on my hair. Pink Oil Mositurizer too.

I started to buy this the other day from Family Dollar. I'm glad I didn't. I ended up buying SunSilk instead.

I'm scared of that thing! Everytime I go to CVS I pick one up, examine it suspiciously then put it right back down. :nono:

My worse product ever was TCB mild relaxer. Mild my eye! Not even 24 hours passed before my hair started breaking.

The only thing I liked about it was the smell. I know it recieved great reviews but my hair hated it.

ITA. How in heck can a SUPER no base relaxer simultaneously scorch your scalp like a blow torch :angry2: , while COMPLETELY under processing, and drying out your new-growth :confused: ?

Motions relaxer is a weapon of mass destruction :hammer: :eek: !
