No. 6: John Frieda Radiant Red Color Captivating Shampoo, $5.49
TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 5.5*
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."

Amen to the horribleness of the Burt's Bees More Moisture Raspberry and Brazil Nut shampoo. I usually love Burt's Bees products, but this shampoo was the worst I have ever used. My hair was a rat's nest disaster and it felt awful.

I dont think I will ever give up using my salon Aveda hair products. They area little pricey but in the long run buying large size and knowing it WORKS it really isnt that expensive. I love al their products but restrict myself to hair only, for over 20 years. Anytime I stopped using it I regret it and always come back to it, no more of that for me

Good to have a heads up on what not to buy. I'm loving Aussie cleanse and mend shampoo.

My fave shampoo right now is Organix Tea Tree shampoo! Makes my hair feel so clean!

I'm not a fan of any drugstore haircare. I stick to quality if I want quality results.

My girlfriend loves the nature fusion too. I will stay away from the others for sure.

I'm guilty of having tried a couple of those, and Herbal Essences shampoos usually just smell good but they are not very good for your hair. :( Same with Pantene. My hair dresser told me to stay away from that brand.
