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 usersUsers recovering from damaged or over-processed hair report visible softness and shine improvement after weeks of consistent use
chemically damaged/over-processed hairA 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 hairPraised 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 hairA 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
Price check
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 are computed from that percentile and from how many products that do the same job cost less; they are comparisons, not judgements about a brand.

Every mark sits on one distribution because these are compared against the same set: 817 shampoos with a computable unit price.

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.
