No. 11: John Frieda Sheer Blonde Crystal Clear Shape & Shimmer Hairspray, $5.09 TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 6.9*
Why: Readers say it "didn't hold well for me." One goes on to say, "I live in Eastern North Carolina and the humidity is horrible in the summer and much of the fall too. I tried this spray and did not get the hold that I need. Here we need close to a freeze spray as most hairsprays fizzle out in the heat." Another woman says, after using this product, "even my hairdresser commented on how greasy my hair felt. [It] barely worked and made my hair feel brittle and coated. Yuck! I'm going to buy some Paul Mitchell or something."

I am really shocked because the John Frieda Frizz Ease works wonders in my naturally wavy hair. I spray it all over my hair while it's still damp, clip it up, and when i take it out it's just curls and waves. But I'm sorry others don't like it!
