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.

Olaplex Nº.4P Blonde Enhancer Toning Shampoo draws complaints about dryness.

Nº.4FINE Bond Maintenance Shampoo

Reviewers frequently describe the scent as pleasant and the hair as feeling clean after rinsing

Fine-hair users report genuine added volume and fullness without the weigh-down common to richer shampoos

fine/thin hair users

Users recovering from damaged or over-processed hair report visible softness and shine improvement after weeks of consistent use

chemically damaged/over-processed hair

A minority of reviewers describe a thin, low-lather texture that requires more product or a second wash to feel fully clean

Nº.4P Blonde Enhancer Toning Shampoo

Effectively neutralizes brassiness and yellow tones on blonde, gray/silver, and highlighted hair

blonde/gray/highlighted hair

Praised as fast-acting, needing a shorter processing time than other purple shampoos to visibly reduce brassiness

Some users report an over-toning color shift (hair or hands taking on a blue, green, or purple tint), especially when left on longer than directed or on already cool-toned hair

grey/silver and cool-toned blonde hair

A recurring subset of reviewers describe the shampoo leaving hair dry, brittle, or damaged with regular use, even when paired with the matching Nº.5P conditioner

Reviewers note a thin, low-lather texture that does not feel like it fully cleanses and temporarily stains hands purple

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.
  • 12 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.
