Hair Products Wall of Shame.....

[JuiceMobsta]

Cantu shea butter leave in. Made my hair dry and break off and I was mad about it to. That stuff gave me the best looking curls before I realized this was making my hair break off.

It has protein in it, so maybe that was the culprit, collagen and soy protein,

I used moisture max everyday back in high school.

So did I girl! And I actually thought it was some sort of secret blessing that the Pink Moisturizer girls didn't know about. I haven't used it in like a decade, but I remember the smell just looking at your pic.

Henna - that ****turned my hard and ORANGE!erplexed

In fact, any Indian products that do not have directions in English. I almost blinded myself trying to oil rinse with a indian oil that turned out to burn my eyes like crazy. I think it was for massages, only!erplexed

All of those expensive, special order, supposedly natural ingredient stuff or products that some chick mixed up and now trying to sell as an hair "expert"!erplexed

Any products found in the "pet" section - never saw any real proof that anyone hair grew longer using the "horse" stuff.erplexed

chasturner84, i know right?! if i ever wanna start some locs and have them mature in less than a day, i know what to use! that junk is horrible. ♥

Cantu Shea Butter Leave In. I liked it at first but it gave me terrible build up. After a while my hair looked dull, was dry and wouldn't hold a curl. I had to clarify my hair to get rid of the build up washing with regular poo didn't do a thing to remove it. After finishing up the first jar I never bought it again.

Shea Butter. This stuff sucks for hair and it made my house stink. It coats my strands and makes my hair hard. IMO, the best use for shea butter is on the skin. It makes my skin feel smooth and soft and it works wonders on severly dry skin like mine. Even still, I like cocoa butter on my skin better than shea. I won't be buying shea butter for any purposes anytime soon.

I think what makes cantu leave in drying is propylene glycol since is the 3rd ingredient listen ,I doubt that 0,01 collagen or protein in it would have any real impact on hair .

I initially thought that I had just used it wrong...but you can't really screw up a LEAVE IN! After I had sections of my hair ripped and cut out, I was done with this poison in a bottle

 

[Relentless]

Cantu Shea Butter Leave in - It made my hair hard. erplexed

Pink Oil Moisturizer - It made my hair look like straw.

 

[shasha8685]

--any kind of grease....doesn't matter what brand

--CD Kizzy Stay Put Pomade (not a daggone thing stayed put and it sat on my hair)

--CD Hair Milk

--Black N' Sassy Wrap Cream (made my hair a hard mess)

Cantu Leave In

Hollywood Olive Oil

Pantene Pro-V Beautiful Lengths Conditioner

 

[Kimiche]

Taliah Waajid Protective Mist Bodifier-Very drying and not detangling

^^^ ITA!!!

So I'm not the only one. This made my hair a hard dry mess. Everyone raves about it, but my hair hates it.

I'm wondering if it has a lot of protein in it or a humectant somewhere.

 

[SignatureBeauty]

I forgot to add Castor Oil, made my head a sticky mess and I saw no benefit in using it. I also agree with those about the Taliah Waajid Bodifier, that mess is a mess for my hair. Sealing with oils, does nothing but make my hair hard.

 

[NIN4eva]

Any Pantene Products. Sauve conditioners. Yuck.

 

[knt1229]

I think what makes cantu leave in drying is propylene glycol since is the 3rd ingredient listen ,I doubt that 0,01 collagen or protein in it would have any real impact on hair .

For me, I think the dryness came from the build up so much of it accumulated on the hair strands it eventually blocked out moisture.

 

[Vashti]

That pink oil moisturizer stuff. Pure crap!
And any shampoo or conditioner more than $20.00. They really don't work any better for my hair that the ones under $10.00. erplexed

I agree with ya about the expensive poo's,Aveda Damage Remedy (24-bucks)cant hold a candle to Elucence MB (8-bucks).

 

[princessdi]

These products didn’t do JACK for me!​

​

Qhemetbiologis Burdock Root Butter Cream – moisture, what moisture?​

ORS Carrot Oil Crème – this was okay on freshly relaxed hair but didn’t do jack on long stretches.​

Kinky Curly detangling Leave-in – my relaxed hair just laughed at it; I’m assuming it’s made exclusively for natural heads​

Aussie 3-Minute Miracle​

Paul Mitchell Super-Charged Conditioner – only used once, but don’t like the results; may work better on freshly relaxed hair; my 16 weeks post hair laughed at it.​

Luster's Pink Oil Moisturizer Hair Lotion - I used this stuff religiously back in high school; maybe that’s why I never had hair past my shoulders.​

Hawaiin Silky – my hair was a tangled mess with this product​

CareFree Curls – and this one too (tangled mess).​

It is very intereting how products work differently for different people. It just goes to show you, what works for someone else may not necessarily work for you.

BUMP....We need to keep warning people

 

[prettyplump04]

When I used to be relaxed Dark and Lovely left my arse Bald and Ugly

 

[JerriBlank]

This stuff right here is marketed as a leave in.
My hair would feel sopping wet upon application,but as soon as it dried,the hair would completely dry out and become hard and stiff.
I repeat,this stuff is marketed as a leave in.erplexed

 

[Kimiche]

Let's keep this thread rolling.

I must add:

Hawaiian Silky and all other juices because of the glycerin. My hair thinks that glycerin is the devil.

 

[Nova]

Luster's Pink Oil - Made my hair extremely dry!
ORS Carrot Oil - Did nothing for my hair.
Qhemet Biologics Burdock Root Butter Cream - Purch. to help smooth down new growth to extend relaxer. Did absolutely nothing for my roots or detangling!!! Made my hair very oily!!!

 

[OsnapCnapp!]

Some Parnevu crap. The stuff is just...crap.

Cantu Shea Butter Leave In-It started out ok but then I started getting little white balls on my hair. Maybe I was using too much? IDK, but after a while I didn't like it.

KCCC-Now the Come Clean shampoo is a great clarifier but all the other stuff, ESPECIALLY the Curling Custard, I think that stuff was formulated for like...3b, 3c heads. Im straight CNAPP that stuff went on my hair and slid right back off. No curl no nothing. And its sticky too.

Let's Jam-Yeah that stuff is just wet hair grease or should I say sticky hair grease.

I used to use this stuff you guys:




Im not even sure why because it is just like....its worthless. First, it doesn't repair anything. Second, it has like glitter or something in it that makes your hair look sparkly. It was just some weird stuff my ex husband bought me from WalMart I used for a while and I was just using it and had no idea why. erplexed

Profectiv-Now, they do have some good stuff but the stuff for EDGES and GROWTH its no good.

Sulu Max Hair Gro-Used it for a year and edges were still a fright.
