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.
Matrix Brass Off Blue Pigmented Conditioner draws complaints about dryness and breakage.
Gloss+ Toning Purple
Reviewers with blonde or highlighted hair report it effectively cancels yellow/gold brassy tones and refreshes color between salon visits.
blonde/highlighted-hair reviewersSeveral reviewers value that it doubles as a deep conditioner/gloss rather than a thin toning-only rinse, leaving hair soft and shiny in addition to the color correction.
generalReviewers who were wary of purple-product staining (based on past bad experiences with other brands) report this one did not stain their hair or skin despite the pigment.
reviewers with prior staining concernsReviewers who have used other purple shampoos/toners specifically call this one out as less drying than typical purple-toning products, some pairing it with a mask afterward for extra softness.

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.
