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.
Full + Thick Passionflower Sulfate Free Shampoo
The Passion Flower & Grapefruit scent is repeatedly praised as pleasantly tropical and fruity without being overpowering.
Reviewers say it adds noticeable volume and fullness and several report less breakage or hair fallout during brushing since switching to it.
Several reviewers note the lather is thick and takes extra rinsing to remove, and a minority found it left hair feeling gooey and had to dilute it with water.
Reviewers with dry hair or dry scalp say the sulfate-free formula doesn't strip moisture, though a couple caution it may add too much oil for a naturally oily scalp.
Hydrate + Restore Honey Sulfate-Free Shampoo
Pleasant fragrance and rich lather make the wash experience enjoyable
Good value relative to performance at drugstore price point
Hair feels noticeably softer and more hydrated after use
reviewers with dry hairLightweight feel without weighing hair down
Some reviewers found the formula difficult to rinse out completely

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.
- 9 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.
