Why: One reader had a bad experience with this: "I had knots, tangles, and frizzies. Normally I have some flyaways, but I looked like I had stuck my finger in an electrical socket." Other readers also had unfortunate results, saying, "If you use just a bit too much, your hair will feel heavy with product and you'll lose volume. It can really feel gross."

The best thing I have used to smooth my hair is Yume Blush, it's natural and has such amazing ingredients. I don't think it was made specifically for hair...it's flavored, tastes yummy and I use it everywhere! Just go natural when it comes to ingredients you can't usually go wrong.. Love theTIGI hair straightener too!!

These are exclusively drugstore products. I guess you get what you pay for!

The Cocoa Keratin System is the best I've used so far and it doesn't damage hair at all, it even comes with its own pre and post shampoo + conditioner. Very complete and it lasts for 5 months :)

The best i've used for straightening my hair has been the Karmin G3 Salon Pro Styling Iron, makes my hair nice and shiny!

The Conair Shiny Styles has such low rating! Definitely staying away from all these products.
