Not worth the $$$...

I thought we could start a post to help others save some money....

We can list all the things we've spent money on that SUX..lol.. I'll start...


Kerastase Bain De Force - for damaged and weakened lengths and ends.

The conditioner sux too, I just can't find it online. $70 later and $8 Herbal Essences makes my hair look and feel better.

I'm a tad bit bitter about this purchase... can ya tell?

I wasn't too happy with that line of Kerastase either. Have you tried any of their other lines?

Re: Not worth the $$$...

You should have used the other line (I've only used the nutritive line)!! I've never used that line, but to be honest, the kerastase line that I've used has never done me wrong! It always brought my hair back from being fried from being dyed, straightened, bleached, permed, etc lol

Great idea!!! I've wasted my money on a TON of stuff, but what comes to mind first is Jonathan Product Shampoo, conditioner and the texture cream. It all SUCKED!!!!!!!!!Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon It made my hair feel sooooo nasty and the shampoo never really washed my hair. It was terrible.

This is all going to be very subjective. I love the Dirt texturizing cream. I haven't tried any of the other stuff. It takes a while to figure out how to use it though.

ETA- if anyone does want to try it don't waste your money on the full size-the to go size is only $14 at Sephora, while the large is $26, and lasts forever.

Same here. I've always had great results with the Nutritive line.

i thought this did absolutely nothing but make my hair look even worse

it is the redo freshen up mist, you spray on slightly dirty hair and it freshens it and makes it look cean - it doesn't

Aww, no love for Jonathan!Chat Icon Chat Icon

if you are still looking for something to freshen you hair, try:
Oscar Blandi Dry Shampoo

The small is $11 at Sephora. There is a spray too, that I haven't tried. It takes practice to know how much too use, and you have to brush it through so your hair doesn't look white, but it works for me.

I can't use it to skip a day of washing, but its good freshening up at night if i washed early & am going out, or if I used too much product.

My money waste was Proactive. I'm not going to post a picture b/c we've all seen the excessive infomercials, but it was only ok, to messy & time consuming and way too expensive. And it just kept coming. I didn't use it as fast as they shipped & it was hard to unsubscribe.

Not an expensive purchase, but definitely NOT worth the money I spent on it ....

The stuff is garbage. I barely removed any hair at all.

I had to shave afterwards anyway! Chat Icon
