Hair Care

Eleven Shampoos and Conditioners, Two Hairsprays and One Multivitamin

The Hair Care collection lists 14 products from 12 brands, among them L'Oréal Paris, Nexxus and Ekkovision. Eleven of the fourteen are shampoos or conditioners, two are hairsprays sold by the ounce, and one is a capsule multivitamin, which the tags explain: all 14 carry a hair care tag, 2 carry Beauty, and one listing each carries Hair Skin Nails and Health & Vitamins. They also fall into three price bands: one under $15, twelve between $15 and $30, one above $50.

Hold Level and Can Size: Elnett vs. Nexxus XXL

L'Oreal Elnett Satin Unscented Hairspray, Strong Hold, 11 oz is $14.61, the lowest price among the fourteen listings here, and its title states what matters: strong hold, no fragrance, an 11 oz can. Nexxus XXL Volume Hairspray – Medium Hold & Frizz Control – 10 oz is $15.97 for a 10 oz can, pitched at medium hold with frizz control rather than a firm set. Neither can lists a count; 13 of the 14 titles give a size in ounces instead of a unit count, five of them with a pack size.

The $84.99 Outlier: Ekkovision Multivitamin

Ekkovision Multivitamin 540 Capsules 180 Servings is the only capsule format among the fourteen listings here and the only one of the fourteen with a stated unit count: 540 capsules across 180 servings. At $84.99 it is the sole listing of the fourteen in the 50+ band.
