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 shine. Matrix Color Obsessed Shampoo draws complaints about the scent and irritation; Suave Moroccan Infusion Shine Shampoo draws complaints about weight.

Color Obsessed Shampoo

Reviewers with color-treated hair report noticeably less color fade and better shine retention between salon visits

color-treated-hair customers, several self-identified blonde

General satisfaction with cleansing performance and value at the price point for a salon-brand shampoo

general reviewers

Several reviewers push back on the "Color Obsessed" name given the formula contains sulfates, calling the color-safe positioning misleading

ingredient-conscious reviewers

A reviewer reports fragrance sensitivity/allergic reaction despite liking the scent otherwise

fragrance-sensitive reviewer

Moroccan Infusion Shine Shampoo

Multiple reviewers single out the fragrance (described as nutty-coconut or cashmere-like) as a standout positive

general

Reviewers with dry, brittle, or dyed hair report improved softness and manageability after use

dry/brittle/color-treated hair

Reviewers with thick or color-treated hair report noticeable shine and a lightweight feel without buildup

thick/color-treated hair

Reviewers with fine or thin hair report the shampoo can feel heavy or slightly greasy if overused, with a dime-sized amount recommended

fine/thin hair

Reviewers note the companion conditioner offers only mild detangling and conditioning power, and the shampoo can leave a slight coating -- suited to normal-to-fine hair rather than very dry or coarse hair seeking heavy hydration

wavy, fine-but-abundant hair

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.
  • 13 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.
