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.

WEN by Chaz Dean Bella Spirit Indigo Toning Cleansing Conditioner draws complaints about tangling and weight; WEN by Chaz Dean Fig Cleansing Conditioner draws complaints about how it cleanses and irritation.

Bella Spirit Indigo Toning Cleansing Conditioner

Reviewers who have stopped colouring and gone grey, silver or white use it to take the yellow out, and prefer it to purple shampoo because it adds depth without leaving a violet cast and does not feel harsh

5-star chazdean.com reviewers with grey or silver hair

A subset reports the texture outcome going wrong - hair flat and lacklustre, frizzy, tangled or dry, or greasy again within hours - most often reviewers with thin or greying formerly-blonde hair

1- to 3-star chazdean.com reviewers

The blue pigment stains what it touches - shower surfaces and skin - with one reviewer reporting marks that would not come off after a single use and another describing the residue sitting on her face for most of the day

1- and 3-star chazdean.com reviewers

The most substantive complaint is that the toning is mild and short-lived: brassy blondes and silver-haired reviewers repeatedly say the change was negligible or did not last, and several tie that judgment to the price

1- to 4-star chazdean.com reviewers, including long-standing WEN customers

Fig Cleansing Conditioner

Very long-tenured buyers dominate the positive reviews - many describing ten to twenty years of continuous use - and several call Fig the richest and most moisturizing of the WEN cleansers

chazdean.com reviewers, mostly self-describing curly, relaxed or colour-treated hair

A separate group of critical reviewers reports the opposite outcome - straw-like, dry ends, frizz that did not improve, and in a few cases an itchy scalp or dandruff

1-star chazdean.com reviewers, several with dry or fine hair

The most repeated complaint is that hair feels coated rather than washed - oily or still dirty once it dries - and several critical reviewers object that getting it clean requires a second cleanse they were not told about

1-star chazdean.com reviewers surfaced by the Lowest Rating sort

The fig scent divides the corpus: regulars name it as a reason they buy this variant, while several critical reviewers call it strong, lingering on long hair, and not fresh or clean-smelling

chazdean.com reviewers across both the highest and lowest ratings

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.
