10 Horrible Conditioners

Every celebrity hairstylist I talk to says that great hair starts in the shower -- a.k.a., if you use cheap shampoo and conditioner, you'll wind up with cheap-looking hair.

Now, don't get me wrong, cheap doesn't necessarily mean inexpensive. There are plenty of bargain products (like these top drugstore shampoos) that work amazingly -- and more than a few high-end products that don't deliver despite the price. That's why we put together the 10 worst conditioners, with both high and low end products, based on TotalBeauty.com reader reviews. Check them out below and steer clear, unless you like that whole greasy, frizzy look (this celeb seems to, I wonder if she's using a product on this list?).

No. 10: Garnier Fructis Fortifying Curl & Shine Cream Conditioner, $2.99, TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 5.7 (out of 10)

No. 9: Dove Advanced Care Conditioner, $4.75, rating: 5.6

No. 8: Aveda Blue Malva Color Conditioner, $17, rating: 5.5

No. 7: TIGI Bed Head Control Freak Conditioner, $10.95, rating: 5.4

No. 6: Lush Veganese, $8.75, rating: 5.4

No. 5: Alberto VO5 Silky Experiences Moisturizing Conditioner, $1.23, rating: 5.4

No. 4: Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla Leave-in Conditioner, $11.50, rating: 5.3

No. 3: Burt's Bees More Moisture Raspberry & Brazil Nut Conditioner, $5.98, rating: 5.2

No. 2: Jonathan Product Condition Leave-In, $22, rating: 5

No. 1: John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Light Reflecting Moisturizing Conditioner, $5.49, rating: 4.1

    I am glad this totalbeauty Top 10 list had reviews with at least several reviews. I am tired of clicking on these Top 10 lists from totalbeauty only to find that 1 or 2 people reviewed the product. I click on these articles for a wide variety of reviews from a wide variety of people because not everything works for everyone the same way. Also, is it only my system but totalbeauty.com's website takes FOREVER to load, I rarely follow their links anymore.

    I agree with Rowdygirl. I love John Freida; maybe those girls had bad hair to begin with.
