Quick take
The first thing to decide is what kind of hair care step you actually need. Do you want a complete wash-and-condition pair, a treatment oil you can massage in when hair feels dry, or a color shampoo that adds tone while it cleanses? The BASED set combines shampoo and conditioner with peppermint oil, the Genoderma Nutrient treatment brings Jamaican black castor oil to dry-feeling hair, and the two Polar dye shampoos let you refresh color during a normal wash.
At their listed prices, the range runs from USD 9.70 for the Polar Light Brown version up to USD 22.99 for the BASED duo, so the choice mostly comes down to your hair texture and how much of a routine you want.

Product notes
BASED Shower Duo Shampoo & Conditioner Peppermint Hydrating Scalp Care Set
The BASED bundle is the only option here that includes both a shampoo and a conditioner in one set. Peppermint oil is the active ingredient, and the formula is free from sulfates, parabens, and phthalates, with a cool, refreshing peppermint scent. If you want a straightforward two-step cleanse while keeping the hair feeling moisturized, this set matches that goal. The trade-off is that you're getting a matched pair rather than a single bottle; if your current conditioner already works well, this may be more than you need.
Moisturizing Hair Repair Massage Treatment - Hydrating Hair Care & Scalp Oil
This treatment is built around Jamaican black castor oil as the active ingredient, with argan oil, coconut oil, and shea butter also in the ingredient mix. It is an oil formulation, so it adds a massage step to your routine rather than replacing your shampoo or conditioner. It is alcohol-free, made with all-natural ingredients, and suitable for all hair types. If your biggest concern is dry, rough, or dull-feeling hair that needs more conditioning, this is a targeted pick of the group. The limitation is the added time: it's a treatment to work into the hair, not a quick wash-and-go product.
Polar Hair Dye Shampoo (Black)
This Polar color shampoo combines cleansing with a tinting step, so you can add tone while washing. This version identifies black as the specified color, and the product type is a hair dye shampoo. It comes in a 200ML/6.7 OZ bottle. If you want gray coverage in a dark shade without a separate coloring process, this is a practical match. The trade-off is that it changes the tone of your hair, so it's not a neutral maintenance product. If you're not looking to add color, you'll need a different kind of shampoo.
Polar Hair Dye Shampoo (Light Brown)
The second Polar version uses the same 2-in-1 wash-and-tone format, but the specified shade is light brown. That makes it the direct alternative if you want a lighter brown result instead of black. This version is suitable for all hair types and unisex, with all-natural ingredients. If you're aiming for a lighter brown refresh during your wash, this is the one to compare against the Black variant. The limitation is color direction: if you're hoping for black, this light brown version won't deliver that look. Pick the shade that matches the end result you actually want.
Final recommendation
If you want the complete wash-and-condition package with a hydrating finish, the BASED Shower Duo is the clear pick. If extra conditioning is your main goal and you don't mind a treatment you work into the hair, the Genoderma Nutrient formula is the focused option. For gray coverage with a black tone, choose the Polar Black shampoo; for a light brown result, pick the Polar Light Brown version. Let your hair texture and preferred end color decide which side of that split you land on.
