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.

Blonde Enhance + Purple Toning Shampoo

Reviewers with blonde, highlighted or bleached hair repeatedly report it neutralizes brassy or yellow tones and brightens color within one to a few washes.

Several reviewers report noticeable hair shedding or hair loss during use and say they stopped buying it after hearing news reports linking OGX products to hair loss claims.

A recurring complaint is that regular use dries hair out, with several reviewers recommending limiting it to once or twice a week and always following with a conditioner or mask.

A large group of reviewers praise the scent as pleasant and not overpowering, distinguishing it favorably from other purple shampoos they have tried.

Reviewers who normally buy salon-brand purple shampoos (Pureology, Fanola, Kristin Ess) describe this as a comparable but slightly less pigmented, budget alternative.

Rosemary Mint Extra Strength Hair Shampoo

Reviewers report the shampoo effectively removes scalp buildup and residue, consistent with its clarifying positioning.

oily-scalp/buildup-focused users

Hair is described as feeling clean and soft after use without excessive dryness, despite the clarifying/oil-stripping formula.

users concerned about over-drying from clarifying shampoos

Reviewers praise the cooling, minty scalp sensation as a standout, refreshing feature.

general users, some noting couples both liking the scent

Some users pair it with a color-safe shampoo in rotation to manage color-treated hair while still getting the clarifying benefit.

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.
  • 7 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.
