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.

Milk Cleansing Conditioner

Several reviewers say the co-wash leaves their curls looking bouncy, defined, and revived, with low frizz.

verified Amazon buyers with curly or wavy hair

Many reviewers say the co-wash detangles hair very easily, even hair that tangles badly, leaving it soft to the touch.

verified Amazon buyers of the 12 fl oz bottle

A couple of long-time reviewers are upset that the brand reformulated the scent, saying the new fragrance is heavier and more perfume-like than the milder scent that made them loyal buyers.

verified Amazon buyers who had repurchased the product for years

Pink Jasmine Peony Cleansing Conditioner

The floral scent is the whole reason people buy this variant - reviewers name peony specifically, and the ones who like it describe it as carrying through the day while still reading light rather than heavy or perfumey.

brand-site reviewers, several comparing it against the other WEN scents they rotate

The buyers are established WEN users rather than newcomers - they describe years on the brand, say they cannot imagine going back to shampoo, and treat this seasonal scent as their everyday cleanser rather than a novelty.

brand-site reviewers with multi-year WEN use

The scent is also the only real dividing line - the lowest-rated formula review is simply a reviewer saying she did not love the fragrance, with no complaint about how the product performed.

brand-site reviewer, 1-star

Some of the low ratings are about order fulfilment, not the formula - at least one one-star review is a customer reporting the item was missing from her shipment, so the aggregate rating understates how the product itself is received.

Price check

Cost per ounce, in context

Cost per ounce against every product of this type we have priced, each at the size it is most often sold in. Value labels are computed from that percentile and from how many products that do the same job cost less; they are comparisons, not judgements about a brand.

$1.08/oz vs $2.00/oz — WEN by Chaz Dean Pink Jasmine Peony Cleansing Conditioner costs about 1.9× more per ounce than Carol's Daughter Milk Cleansing Conditioner.

$0.37/oz median $2.00/oz $8.63/oz $1.08/oz Milk Cleansing Conditioner $2.00/oz Pink Jasmine Peony Cleansi

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.
  • This particular combination is not listed in our sitemap: we only submit pairs of comparable products that our similarity data says people would actually weigh against each other.
