I agree with pretty much everything that's been mentioned so far. Particularly the Garnier Fructis (wtf kind of name is that, anyhow?), Pantene, and the rest of the horrendous drug store lines that coat your hair with plastics, waxes, silicones, and dry your scalp to hell with Sodium Laureth Sulfate.. which by the way is the same thing as basically washing your hair with dish or hand soap, and is also used in engine degreasers.
It's been found to cause skin and eye ir[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]ritation, tangled hair, swelling of the hands, face and arms and split and fuzzy hair among other things. It also damages the hair follicle and contributes to hair loss.
[/FONT] I just completely avoid any product with this in it if possible.
I switched to natural products about 3-4 years ago, and my hair has never been as soft, healthy, or shiny as this since I can remember.. not to mention I always had handfuls of hair falling out in the shower, it was always frizzy no matter how many anti-frizz things I used. Not anymore.
there are so many better products out there that work without the harsh chemicals, you don't need them! They're evil!

Oh dear... thank you for this post! I just got a "deluxe sample" of this from sephora for reaching 100 points in my beauty bank thing, and started using it within the last 3 weeks. Luckily I only flat iron my hair maybe once a week, if that. But I really didn't notice any benefit from it at all! I was actually wondering if it was doing
anything to protect my hair from the heat, because I expect a product like this to at least make it marginally softer and shinier, but nope -- nothing! It's craptastic, that's for sure. I'm going to chuck it in the damn trash when I clean out my bathroom today!
