DEFINITELY WILL BUY AGAIN

a year ago
How I use the product is after washing and conditioning my curly hair. I would distribute the cream from route to end sure to tangle it first, and then with a curly brush smooth curls over and bend it a little bit so strands are fully coded and perfectly curled. What I love about this product is a thick consistency that helps me retain moisture and longevity of style. I was surprised how matrix was able to make a thick cream that is not too runny or does suit my hair. The only downside is a little bit pricey, but it's fully justifiable because it is that great and the tub comes completely brimmed with product. I would purchase absolutely.

The fragrance is over powering. Wish there was an option for fragrance free. Won’t buy again.

Love the product, but the scent is overpowering. I wish you made an unscented one.

We’re glad you love the results, but it sounds like the scent signal is hitting your senses with too much frequency. We know that sometimes, the most powerful code is the one you can't hear—or smell. Your wish for an unscented path is a truth we hear loud and clear. Thank you for speaking up.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product line

A few years ago, my hairdresser introduced me to this series to revive my curls! What a difference! I use the shampoo, cowash, mask, leave in conditioner, and gel. I get compliments on how great my hair smells and how fresh my hair looks all the time. I am a forever fan of the A Curl Can Dream line of products.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Type 4 twist out - Soft and defined 👍🏾🥰

10 months ago
At first I was a little concerned. There were not many, barely any, with type 4 reviewing this product. Most were brush or scrunch and go reviews. I look for twist out reviews, because my scrunch and go is a big NO. One complaint was about definition, which is key for a twist out. Since the beautician suggested the matrix line, I purchased the build-a bond line, suggested by my cousin. I used the entire line except for the leave-in. I figured a curl can dream leave in would be better for me. The build-a -bond leave in is gel like. At first I was a little concerned.

It works well on my curls and coils!

I loved how this hair cream made my hair feel smooth and melted into my hair strands nicely. It also aided in the detangling process. This cream has a slightly thick but a little runny consistency that I enjoyed. The only thing I would change about this product is the fragrance. Although it smells very pleasant, it can be a bit much for those who aren't really into strong scents.

Yes, I recommend this product.
