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 come from that percentile and from how many products that do the same job cost less. They compare prices; they do not judge a brand.
$0.32/oz vs $0.36/oz: about the same cost per ounce.
Every mark shares one scale because these products are compared against the same set: 267 gels with a computable unit price.
Based on cost per ounce against every product of this type we have priced, and on how many products that do the same job cost less. It is a comparison, not a judgement about the brand.

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 match percentage shows how closely the two products do the same job, based on what their ingredients do (cleansing, conditioning, hold and so on). Two different ingredient lists can still match fully. It says nothing about how well either one 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.
- 5 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.
