Why: While this may work for short hair, readers with long hair say, "you'll do what I did and give up in the shower the first time." One reader says, "it was pretty difficult to get enough lather to completely get my hair clean, and I ended up [staying] in the shower way longer than I wanted to be." The ultimate un-endorsement: "It made my hair look and feel like pubic hair," one reader says. "'Nuff said."

Why: This was a double-whammy disappointment, readers say. One complaint: "[It] made my soft, silky hair rough and tangled ... unmanageable." But the biggest problem: "it did not seem to preserve my color at all," readers say. One reader was so sad that "all it did was stain my fingernails and towels red."

Why: This left one reader perplexed: "You'd think that a product that's supposed to inhibit breakage would help moisturize hair, but this really didn't at all." She adds, the product "actually seemed to dry my hair out even more." Other readers didn't like that "it left my hair feeling waxy (from the gelatin in it) and dry."
Hair washing and drying is quite a chore, no? And your life is more or less ruled by when you're going to wash it, right? (Unless, of course, you have a pixie cut.) Regardless, we are all busy ladies and when we wash our hair, we expect our shampoo to clean and protect our hair color ... and for the smell to intoxicate all who are lucky enough to walk by us. We're not saying that you must spend a ton of money on hair care products to get the quality you're looking for, but what we are saying is that there is a huge difference in quality -- even among the shampoos in the drugstore aisles. And the shampoos on this list are not of high quality.
Here's a taste of our readers' testimonials -- some of their comments will make you LOL but all will encourage you to avoid these hair care products when shopping at the drugstore:
"Left my hair a tangled, almost matted mess"
"Makes my scalp more dry"
"Left my hair feeling very sticky"
"My hair doesn't feel as clean after I rinse"
"It made my hair look and feel like pubic hair"
"Left my hair feeling gross"
"Made my hair look frizzy"
"It looked as though I hadn't even showered!"
"Seemed to dry my hair out even more"
"It left my hair feeling waxy"
"Made my soft, silky hair rough"
"It was pretty difficult to get enough lather to completely get my hair clean"
Did we pique your interest? Are you wondering which shampoos they're talking about? Well, the wait is over.
