No. 5: Dove Smooth & Soft Anti-Frizz Cream, $7.99 TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 5.1*
Why: One unhappy reader says, "you get what you pay for," while another adds, "this didn't tame my frizz at all. If anything, I had more frizz after I used it. It also weighed my hair down and made it tangle easier." One reviewer says the product, "left hair feeling a little gritty, like the product would weigh your hair down when it was fully dry." A reviewer partial to Dove says, "since I love Dove skincare, I thought this would be good too. Wrong. This left my hair greasy, and did not smooth or de-frizz my hair at all! This weighed down my hair so much I had to wash my hair the very next day." Another reviewer simply says, "fly away dear Dove."

Happy to know that I don't have ONE of these products! Now I know what not to get next time I'm looking to add some new products to my hair regimen. Thanks!
