But as important as choosing the right products is avoiding the wrong ones.

First of all, it is so messy!

Second, it makes my hair feel awful!"

Drybar products

It is also marketed for all hair types and textures.

Unfortunately, though, it only received 3.5 out of 5 stars on Sephora’s website.

It is pricey, but based on the reviews I decided to give it a try.

Oribe shampoo

I had high expectations, but unfortunately it doesn’t live up to the hype."

The smell is anything but gentle, however.

One review noted that it smells like “synthetic motor oil.”

Aveda hair care

Nevertheless, some enjoy the strong scent.

“I love it and it always wakes me up with the clove fragrance!”

The strong smell seems to be a dealbreaker for many buyers so ensure to consider this before purchasing.

Serge Normant mask

In addition to disliking the smell, some reviewers cited the thin consistency of the shampoo.

Unfortunately with its $60 price tag, theMeta Morphosis Hair Repair Treatmentis not a fan favorite.

One buyer left a review that reads, “I would give this a zero if I could.

Raincry Conditioner

Worst conditioner I have ever used.

It was chalky and runny like soup.

It did absolutely nothing for my hair except leave it dry and unmanageable.

Wick & Strom Hair Loss Vitamins for Men and Women

What a waste of $60.”

Past buyers recommend rinsing your hair thoroughly to prevent the waxy feeling.

Another negative is the price $39 for 8 fluid ounces.

Curl conditioner

For men and women, finding the right hair loss vitamin can make a world of difference.

While some claimed the product works, others said it does nothing for hair loss.

I don’t think I’m impressed enough to buy again.

Reviews are generally mixed, but the quality of this tool has been criticized.

One reviewer said it fell apart after only using it for four months.

“I don’t get very much lift from this brush at all.

… you could basically use a curling iron to do the same thing.”

The review continued, advising, “secure your money on this brush.”

This hot brush has amazing reviews and won’t break the bank.

At $85, this flat iron is on the pricier side.

And as of this writing, the product sits at 3.1 stars onSephora’s site.

Any well made straightener should last longer than that."

Another reviewer said she loved the flat iron so much but was extremely disappointed when it stopped working.

It’s wise to stick with universally loved products that work across many hair types and textures.

While there’s no guarantee you’ll love the products too, they’re much safer bets.
