We’ll go into detail about Matrix A Curl Can Dream Shampoo’s features, advantages, and how it can be the best supplement to your curly hair care regimen in the sections that follow.

Introduction

I was wandering around looking for a good cleanser when I saw Matrix shampoos. Of course, the first thing that drew my attention was the well-known High Amplify volume shampoo, which contains protein. I was looking for a shampoo without proteins because I wanted to use them as little as possible in my hair. Not because I think proteins are bad; in fact, for oily scalps, they seem to work very well in shampoo formulations because they give thin hair volume and density, and they also help to moderate sebum production without making the scalp act erratically. They are not always friends with the length, but they are great support for the root zone.

As a result, after throwing away the copy for volume and taking a little further detour, I discovered the shampoos A Curl Can Dream and Keep Me Vivid. I purchased the pink one first. I adore the smell of it! Real aromatherapy. However, Keep Me Vivid shampoo’s bright conditioning ability necessitated switching out. I caved in. So the yellow jar found a spot on the rack.

Matrix A Curl Can Dream line of products

There are more than one shampoo in the Matrix line for curly hair. There is light oil, a mask, and a gel. The primary component is extract from manuka honey.

Description of the line for curly hair from the manufacturer

Curly hair matrix products are made to treat wavy hair and tight curls that frizz out after washing and don’t stay in place very well. Because curly hair is frequently porous, it can be brittle and dry. This line of products helps to give curls a glossy shine, form a clear curl, and provide deep hydration, nutrition, and strengthening.

The products are safe for daily use and enhanced with organic extracts, specifically Manuka honey. Even without the "curly method," you can achieve sleek, glossy, and submissive curls with the expert line "Matrix."

I won’t get into the variety of Matrix jars—especially the line specifically designed for curly hair. Just remember that there are other things besides shampoo. This is a review of the yellow Matrix mask for curly hair, which is very similar to L’Oreal Riche’s Curl Expression in terms of composition.

Shampoo for curly hair

Shampoo is deemed to be highly cleansing and professional. A manufacturer’s description is attached.

Description of shampoo from the manufacturer

Expert shampooing Matrix With the help of manuka honey extract, A Curl Can Dream for curly and curly hair thoroughly cleanses, gets rid of build-up styling from the hair, and nourishes and moisturizes porous curly hair to help it form a lovely, elastic curl. without mineral oils and silicones in the mixture. Rose, peony, sea salt, lily of the valley, and jasmine are among the scents that are detected.

The name is as simple, readable, and clear as possible, and the design immediately grabs attention with its striking black and yellow combination. Its color lifted my spirits a great deal at the time of purchase, which was in October, when the majority of the foliage was already fading away and the rains were becoming more frequent. Buzzing bees come to mind when you consider the jar’s overall round shape and the manufacturer’s references to honey in the composition.

Because it is dense, the plastic itself does not yield under extreme pressure. Maybe I didn’t press on it hard enough to cause it to distort. The packaging still has a brand-new appearance despite frequent use. A brand logo is surprisingly present on a dispenser with a black lid. dispenser with a hinged lid that flips open.

The dispenser’s plastic is of excellent quality, and even after three months of use, the lid’s soldering base is still remarkably durable. I tried to remove the cover and put the dispenser-pump in right now, but I was unable to do so for some reason.

That’s probably for the best. It took some time for me to realize how useful the flip-top design was. With it, I can easily remove the leftover shampoo by turning the bottle upside down because it is stable and does not fall. I should mention that my shampoo kept falling and flying across the bathroom tiles. As you can see, the eagle is safe and alive! Bee.

Composition

The back of the jar contains all the information regarding the shampoo, including its composition, application technique, and expiration date.

• Expiration date after opening – 12 months;
• Volume 300 ml.

SLS is the shampoo washing base. Fatty alcohol and extract from honey are also included in the composition. It appears that moisturizing curly and unruly hair is accomplished because of these ingredients. I like that the composition contains salicylic acid because I have an oily scalp. I still won’t know what role it plays in this shampoo, so I won’t try to judge.

Composition

SODIUM EDTA, COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE, DISODIUM EDTA, LINALOOL, CITRONELLOL, GERANIOL, BENZYL SALICYLATE GLYCERIN, MELEXTRACT / HONEY EXTRACT, SODIUM BENZOATE, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, CITRIC ACID, PPG-5-CETETH-20, SALICYLIC ACID, COCOBETAINE, LINALOOL, CITRONELLOL, GERANIOL, BENZYL SALICYLATE GLYCERIN, HONEY EXTRACT (F.I.L. C255710/1)

I looked over every Matrix shampoo formula before purchasing, with the exception of Biolage. The only jars without silicones and polyquaternium for curly hair are those intended for cleansing. Because of this, I was not put off by the manufacturer’s claims about thorough cleaning.

Aroma

Who else fell for the happy yellow hue and honey-related phrases? Put up your hands! Until the very end, I hoped for a subtle, slightly sweet scent. At most, floral, though! I was taken aback when I tried the shampoo for the first time because my nose was hit by something new and slightly powdery. The way the fragrance was packaged and the notes the manufacturer selected made me feel very dissonant.

The manufacturer lists peony, rose, and sea salt as fragrance notes.

I don’t smell roses and peonies—maybe my sense of smell is malfunctioning! (I always make bouquets of peonies in the summer because I adore them.) It smells fresh and clean, with a hint of masculinity. A breeze from the sea, a cluster of coarse sea salt, and a pink bush somewhere in the distance. For me, this is the scent of the Matrix A Curl Can Dream shampoo.

Rarely do I like rose scents in perfumes. I’m one of those people who gets sick of the perfume pyramid’s overabundance of roses and frequently smells old makeup or a powder compact. The good news is that the smell does not stick to the hair, but it may stick to the hands. For me, the scent is quite strong yet subtle at the same time. I became accustomed to it quickly and no longer give it much thought. Unfortunately, the aromatherapy SPA ritual was not carried out.

Consistency, color and foam

The shampoo has an unexpectedly pearlescent hue. Upon selecting a product for thorough cleaning, this is obviously not its shade. (Remember that the shampoo is designed especially for deep cleaning curls from years of styling.) Good cleansing sulfate shampoos are frequently clear or slightly tinted. I was a little leery after this. There haven’t been any shampoos with SLS and a pearlescent color that I can recall that didn’t cause the scalp to react negatively.

It has a thick consistency. Really. Some shampoo will run back home if you don’t press the tube and don’t shake it. Economic use is made of it. Considering that I frequently overuse shampoo and prefer a lot of foam, I have slightly less than half (volume 300 ml) for three months of use (with two latherings). The flow is a little mediocre.

The shampoo produces good foam. However, a lot of water is required to get a good, voluminous foam. It whips just as well on the root zone as it does in the palms. There are three levels of foaming in the picture gallery, and the water content increases gradually. Naturally, the bubbles settle a little as you run from the sink to the towel and camera. But I did my best to accurately portray the entire witchcraft process.

The snow-white bubbles are really lovely. And it is a sunny, frosty January day outside the window. Another little demonstration was too much for me to resist.

It goes without saying that taking a picture requires time. The foam just evaporates; it doesn’t even wait to flow down and drip. All you have to do is use your cheek to catch the flowing bubbles when you are holding equipment in one hand and something is flowing in the other. Thus, there is still a tiny tightness on the face (my skin is oily and sensitive) after the foam has been rinsed off. Such a subtlety on the scalp escaped my attention. Perhaps this will encourage thoughtfulness before making a purchase.

Application

This was my first time washing my hair in the morning instead of the evening as is usually the case. Once more, I was persuaded that it causes me discomfort.

My scalp is oily and sensitive. Her hair is thin and dyed with henna. You can keep the root zone fresh for as long as two days if you close your eyes.

The method of application recommended by the manufacturer

After using the necessary amount of shampoo to create a lather on the scalp, thoroughly rinse the hair from root to tip. Use water to rinse. Next, use A Curl Can Dream light hold gel and a mask.

Every time, I wash the root zone twice. As previously mentioned, the shampoo foams nicely, and a tiny bit goes a long way. Up until a distinctive squeak, cleaning takes place. The root zone and thin hair in the temporal zone do not become unduly tangled when applying the shampoo, in contrast to what frequently occurs with sulfate shampoos without film formers, even though SLS is present in the composition.

Rinsing the shampoo from the hair completely takes a little longer because the foam feels enveloping and soapy. Furthermore, this isn’t, in my opinion, a shock-cleansing SLS foam that evaporates quickly from the hair, leaving only a squeak. The skin is cleansed and the root zone is regulated. The length feels somewhat moisturized, smooth to the touch, and not overly tangled. To be honest, I find it difficult to refer to the shampoo as an intense cleanser. The matrix A Curl Can Dream helps prep the surface a little bit for rinse-off care, which has a negligible impact on mask consumption.

Allow me to be clear: I always complete the rinse-off treatment completely. I add water, use my hands to smooth and untangle the strands, and occasionally I use an old Tangle Teezer.

To be fair, after using the Vichy peeling shampoo, I completely understood the gentle caring qualities of the Matrix shampoo for curly hair. My ends have a little tangle and stiffness to them despite the peeling shampoo with salicylic acid cleaning everything in its path. Rinse-off and pre-pu treatments don’t solve this issue. Because of this, I became even more attached to Matrix, and I was glad I had a backup on hand.

The manufacturer attested to the shampoo’s moisturizing properties.

I did not use the rinse-off treatment because, after cleaning, the hair feels smooth and tangles are not a big deal. This kept the experiment’s integrity intact. After giving my hair a quick towel wrap, I applied the leave-in treatment. I finally gave in to the Lebel Moist leave-in essence for hair at this point. Since this is a post about the shampoo, I won’t go into too much detail.

Composition

Water, cyclomethicone, hydrogenated polyisobutene, dimethicone, hydrogenated rapeseed alcohol, butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter oil, phenoxyethanol, methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, ethylparaben, alcohol, etoxydiglycol, phytosteryl/octyldodecyl lauroyl glutamate, phytosteryl isosteryl dimer, clinoleate, isostearic acid, glycerin, butyrospermum parkii (avocado) butter oil, tremella fuciformis polysaccharide, behentrimonium chloride, butylene glycol, polyglyceryl-10 laurate, phenoxyethanol, methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, ethylparaben, alcohol, and fragrance.

I take off the towel and use my fingers to gently comb the hairs coming out of the roots. Not only does the fingers not feel strongly resisted, but there is also no shock conditioning, which is common with caring shampoos.

Next, I take some cream and rub some of the care product between my palms and water to better distribute it throughout my hair. I use my fingers to smooth and comb the resulting emulsion into my hair. The cream absorbs really fast! In order to make the strands feel silky, moist, and full, I frequently add a little extra water. And finally, to seal in the moisture, a tiny bit more cream blended with water. Everything occurs in tiny bursts.

This is an application technique that is a little odd. I experimented in many ways, but only this particular order worked best for me.

Result and impressions

On damp hair, the root volume is already there. Though not that enormous, it is unquestionably present and natural. A picture of the root zone taken with a hair dryer can be found in the gallery. If the scalp seems pink, don’t panic. After using the shampoo consistently for three months, I experienced no irritation, dandruff, tightness in my scalp, dryness with a lot of tangled ends, or other issues. The pink work is done by the winter sun, skin tone, and color correction.

I have attached a gif so that it is crystal clear. Using a hairdryer, hair is fully (as much as possible) dried; strands feel cool and slightly damp for a few more hours. I am really pleased with the shampoo’s outcome! Yes to volume and yes to friability! Shine, tactful self-control, and soft gentleness – too! You have direct access to all of the fulfilled promises.

There is little to no chance of accumulation with this shampoo. does not prolong the freshness of anything. After a few weeks of only using it once, I wanted to peel my hair or use a sulfate shampoo without film formers.

The hair feels light and friable, with a slight whippy after using the shampoo and leave-in essence. There is no trace of dryness and the ends are soft. Lebel Moist essence envelops, nourishes, and shields. works incredibly well on its own to soften hair! However, I still yearn for the dampness from the rinse-out phase. Hair that has been dyed with henna still acts erratically and needs care. 129418;

The shampoo + leave-in cream experiment that didn’t require rinsing off was, I think, successful despite being unusual.

Who can I recommend it to

It is extremely challenging to make recommendations that are 100% certain. Each of us is unique! Our cities are different, and so is the water that comes out of the faucet. There are cockroaches and whims unique to every scalp, and most things are best learned by firsthand experience.

I can honestly say that I feel like shampoo for curly hair is universal because I see it in many of my posts. It leaves the root zone soft and crumbly and thoroughly cleans and preps hair for rinse-off care. Ideal for switching between an oily and normal scalp. does not cause tightness, dandruff, or itching. Sadly, freshness is not prolonged by it. Considering my modifications to the washing schedule, freshness endures for one and a half days. With all the benefits, I could use it for regular washing and occasionally dilute it with a gentle shampoo for peeling. Naturally, we must also remember the pre-.

Can I use this shampoo in conjunction with leave-in care after cleansing? Rather than being yes, the answer is no. Occasionally, for thorough cleaning without drying out too much—a great choice. It is preferable to select a more compassionate option for minimalist hair care in the shampoo + cream / spray format, which sparked a wave of appreciation on the website.

This is the exact post that many people found admirable. Following the review, I developed a personal interest in the Matrix Miracle Creator spray.
