Why: Although readers "love LUSH" and "wanted to like this," LUSH's Jungle Conditioner "was a BIG disappointment." Readers agree that the bar conditioner left their hair a "tangled mess," while some experienced other problems: "Even after I spent twice the normal time washing it out than I do with regular conditioner, it still left chunks in my hair that only made it look greasy and dirty," says one reader. Another agrees, saying, "I even tried letting it soften in a bowl of hot water before using it and it still didn't absorb into my hair at all."

Why: This promises a "soft, tousled look that begs to be touched," but instead, readers say, "it made my hair look messy -- and not a 'sexy' messy like the bottle says." One reader says, "The bottom section of my hair became one big matted rat's nest -- not awesome. And after a few days, my hair felt like straw." Another reader adds, "I was really hoping that this line of products would help define my waves and help them last at least for a few hours. After using these products, my hair looks like it was only rinsed with water and is very dull. I wouldn't recommend it."
