Why: Readers wanted to "save money" with this product, but found that "it's not even worth the $1 you spend on it." One woman says, "This product feels like it is more water than conditioner. It does nothing, absolutely nothing, for your hair. If anything, it stripped my hair and made it stringy, dry, and just feeling gross." Another reader adds, "This conditioner is by far the worst. Not only was my hair not silky and had a sickening smell to it, but the conditioner tangled my hair, making it look greasy. I don't even want to give this product one star."
