What owners say

What people report

Recurring themes our researchers wrote in their own words from sourced reviews. We do not store or scrape star ratings, and we never balance one product’s themes against another’s by inventing them.

Both praised for moisture. Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! Super Moisture Conditioner draws complaints about dryness and breakage.

Don't Despair, Repair! Super Moisture Conditioner

Reviewers describe it as hydrating without weighing hair down, especially when paired weekly with the brands matching deep-conditioning mask.

general reviewers using it alongside the mask

Reviewers report decreased breakage and stronger-feeling strands with regular use, including one reviewer who noted receiving the product complimentary for review.

damaged-hair reviewers, one gifted-product reviewer

Multiple reviewers with fine hair report the conditioner (and line generally) feels drying rather than moisturizing, with increased shedding/breakage — a notable contradiction of the products 'Super Moisture' claim for this hair type.

fine, semi-wavy/color-treated hair reviewers

Farewell Frizz Smoothing Conditioner

Hydration is the single most-cited review topic, appearing more often than fragrance or general hair feel across the review set.

general reviewers

Fragrance is a prominent, frequently-mentioned theme (roughly a third of review content), with reviewers describing the scent favorably.

general reviewers

general reviewers

At least one reviewer reported an unsatisfactory experience with the product combined with an unresponsive customer-support process when trying to arrange a return.

How this page was made

  • This page is assembled from the same researched records the individual product pages render: identity, each ingredient list as printed, each brand's own claims, dated price observations, and review themes written in our researchers' own words. Nothing on it is written per comparison.
  • We do not rank these against each other. Which of them suits you depends on your hair, and that is what the consultation works out.
  • The formula similarity percentage is a stored, precomputed number: position-weighted overlap of the two ingredient lists blended with agreement on the attributes we derive. It measures how alike two formulas are, not how well either works.
  • The value band is a fixed label over two stored numbers: this product’s cost per ounce as a percentile of every product of this type we have priced, each at the size it is most often sold in, and how many products we score as doing the same job cost at least a quarter less per ounce.
  • The "Is this right for you?" panel reads only your own consultation answers, and it applies exactly the filters our recommendation engine applies. It is computed when you load the page and is never stored on it.
  • 8 sources were consulted across the products on this page.
  • Ingredient order tells you relative amount only above roughly 1%. Prices are observations on the dates shown and change without notice. We do not sell these products and take no placement fees.
  • This is cosmetic information, not medical advice, and nothing here diagnoses or treats a health condition.
