You know what really gets me? When a product claims that it "helps straighten" or "fights frizz" and it actually does, like, the total opposite. Why would I want to waste my money and time on something that makes my hair look worse than it did to begin with?
In one of my many attempts to prevent further mass-frustration, I give you the list of TotalBeauty.com readers' least-favorite hair straightening products. Read them, click them (to see why they're lame), and then don't buy them. Instead, buy one of these products that are actually worth it.
