This hairspray didn't live up to its claim of providing an extra strong hold. One reader writes, "It's good if you are going to use it for a ponytail, but not if you want to do a major hairdo. It's not really worth it if you actually need hold or use hairspray often." Another reader found this product was actually detrimental to her look. She writes, "This hairspray is way too wet for my liking. It made my curls and waves unattractively crunchy and it didn't hold up in humidity either. Disappointed."

Now that you know which hairsprays to avoid, pick up one of these top-rated hairsprays during your next trip down the beauty aisle.

Hairspray is pretty much ingrained in our culture. I mean, there's even a whole film-turned-Broadway show-turned-back into a film situation revolving around hairspray � and it's not hard to see why. Where would we be without hairspray?

Those hours spent curling, teasing, and backcombing would be for nothing if it weren't for hairspray. It's the finishing touch that keeps everything perfectly in place. Not to mention the best hairsprays make your hair (and bathroom) smell divine. When a hairspray is good, it's the crown jewel of a hairstyling routine.

But when a hairspray is bad, it's bad. Total Beauty readers will be the first to tell you that with one spritz, a bad hairspray can leave you with flat hair, crunchy strands, flaky residue, or a killer headache from gag-inducing fumes. Reaching for the wrong hairspray means all your hard hairstyling work goes down the drain.

To help you avoid disappointment and the (literal) downfall of your hair, we've rounded up the worst hairsprays as rated by our Total Beauty readers. They've judged these hairsprays on their hold and scent, and unfortunately, these hairsprays just didn't cut it.

Click ahead to see the 5 worst hairsprays that'll ruin your day (and your 'do).
