12 Worst Hair ConditionersDull, tangled, greasy, or dry hair -- all telltale signs of a bad conditioner. From Herbal Essences to Aveda, see which ones will make your hair look awful |
The bright lights of a drugstore hair care aisle or salon waiting room can make any bottle of conditioner look promising.
Plus, those labels can lure the most skeptical among us with their claims. Guarantees to give you touchable body and Beyonce-like volume with just one wash. Promises to transform your dead ends into healthy hair instantly. It's enough to make you pop open the bottle. And then you're a goner -- the sweet scent of ripe apples or fresh rosemary inspires you to take it with you to the checkout counter.
While the pretty packaging and bold claims work a lot of magic, how do you really know which conditioner will actually deliver? Typically, you don't. You just have to buy the bottle and hope for the best -- until now. Now you have these TotalBeauty.com reader reviews to tell you which bottles live up to their flashy promises -- and which are nothing more than a delicious scent.
Unfortunately, readers say these 12 conditioners not only don't deliver on the hype, but actually leave hair greasy, tangled, and damaged. Read on and make a note not to buy these the next time you're shopping. See the 12 conditioners our readers regretted purchasing now.

It's a shame to see some of these products in this list, but they belong there. There was a time--years ago--when I would walk a mile during my lunch hour to an exclusive salon to purchase Nexxus' "Keraphix." It was Heavenly then and kept my hair vibrant and shiny. Unfortunately, all of the formulas have been revamped for the worse.

I actually think V05 is worth the $1 and i don't think it's nearly as bad as the reviewer said it was, Although it doesn't do much for moisturizing your hair and the smell is nice though. I do like the suave though.

I heard so many good things about the organix coconut milk conditioner, I'm surprised.

Luckily, I haven't tried any of these brands. I'm curious if there's a best conditioners article. I will have to search for that.
