15 Worst ShampoosCheck out the shampoos our readers say are the absolute worst hair care products -- some might just surprise you |
No. 1: Biosilk Hydrating Shampoo, $28.99 TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 3.3*
Why: One reader describes her experience with this product as "one bottle, three people and a trash can." Translation: "My roommate gave this to me with no explanation and I was stoked. I kept using it even though it barely lathered and left my poor hair stripped of all moisture and impossible to style. Finally I gave it to my sister, thinking it would work better [for her]. She used it once and threw it out." Another reader also "really wanted to like this" and thought "maybe a fifth or sixth attempt may 'improve' the hair," but alas she continued to be left with "a greasy scalp by the end of the night, lifeless tired roots, and dirty hair that needed to be rewashed."

Shampoo's pearl shine contains chemical that doesn't suits oily skin and thus increase acne problem.

Never expected to see Biosilk on the list.

You would think with the price points of MAC products they would actually deliver, sad.

I tried this as my hair is very dark brown (natural color). Not only did it not deposit color, but as described by the TB reviewer, it left it feeling like straw. BTW, the conditioner that goes with this is no better. It stains your hands, doesn't deposit color, and has no conditioning effect at all. Your hair feels like you didn't even use a conditioner. They have some great products, but not this.

Thanks for this article. I hate all Tresemme products even though they keep coming up with new products that sound great. My hair always feels dry and frizzy. I was going to try TRESemme Vitamin B12 & Gelatin Anti-Breakage Shampoo, but not now!

i find it interesting when i read comments about the same shampoo for people with different hair goals. if people have different hair goals, why are they using the same shampoo? :P also, i don't know what the big deal about lack of lather is. any decent shampoo i've used doesn't lather very much because it's not meant to. it's more concentrated without lather. same with smell. i don't care if it smells good, i put in product later anyways. regardless, i don't use any of these shampoos :P

Glad I read this. Sure, I probably wouldn't be trying many of the high-end brands but if I saw the Tresemme Anti-Breakage in the drugstore I would probably buy it, glad to know now that it's not recommended by TB. Thanks. :)
