Details

Seeing red? Enrich dark bases with Dark Envy - Our first range that neutralizes red undertones in virgin and all-over black to dark brown hair color.

Matrix Dark Envy Shampoo is a green color-depositing toning shampoo that enriches dark bases and neutralizes red undertones.

  • Leaves depth and cool, glossy finish
  • Combination of blue-yellow direct dyes
  • Signature fragrance of citrus, jasmine and cedarwood

What Causes Red Undertones In Dark Bases?

Red undertones in dark bases can be caused by sun, water/chlorine, bleaching/highlighting, and chemical processes or excessive use of hot tools.

How Does Dark Envy Green Shampoo Differ From Brass Off Blue Shampoo & So Silver Purple Shampoo?

Dark Envy contains direct dyes that help neutralize red undertones in hair levels 1-4. Brass Off contains direct dyes that help neutralize orange undertones in hair levels 5-7. So Silver contains direct dyes that help neutralize yellow undertones in hair levels 8-10+."

How To Use

Wearing suitable gloves, apply to wet hair, lather and rinse well. Leave on 3-5 minutes for maximum cooling effect. Follow with either Dark Envy Conditioner or Red Neutralization Hair Mask.

Designed for levels 1-4, Dark Envy should not be used on white or grey hair as it can leave a greenish hue. This also includes any hair that has been lightened to level 5 or lighter with color, lightener or the sun.

Using the Dark Envy Shampoo and Mask- Results may vary depending on the porosity of hair. Always wear gloves & avoid the scalp as it can potentially cause staining.

Bring it back!!

Just adding to the votes to bring this product back!! It’s the only thing that keeps my dark hair looking rich and beautiful instead of dull and rusty! Products that get rid of “brass” are not the same and everything else is for the blondes. Why can’t the dark girlies have something for once????

Perfect for neutralizing red / brassy tones

BRING THIS BACK. This shampoo was the absolute best in neutralizing my colored hair. I'm a natural brunette and the blue shampoo just isn't cutting it. It was the only color correcting shampoo that didn't damage my hair or leave or greasy. It worked so well!

Don’t let the green scare you!

9 months ago
As a licensed hair stylist I have used this on clients and honestly, it is very effective! It is dark green so it can be a-little scary but it naturalizes the gold and red tones enough that it brings the brown back to life. The price is good for such a product ! And it looks good on a shelf!

SO SAD! My favorite line and it’s gone. Hope you change it or bring it back because I have been coloring my hair black for over 20 years and this line was a game changer. The amount of compliments I get just using the deep conditioner was insane. So so sad

I have been really happy with the green envy line, I use it every several washes and seems to keep my color in tact. I get the Brazilian blowout treatment and not sure it’s safe to use? I don’t think it’s sulfate free but wanted to be sure. Thanks! Figure I can still use the conditioner and hopefully the mask

Yes, I recommend this product.

doesnt work for ANY hair non dark brown/black

2 years ago
i am a redhead with dyed brown hair. while my hai ris mostly brown, there are some strands that are more of a dirty blonde due to previous highlights. all of the highlights turned green!!! we are talking a very noticeable shade of green. the rest of my hair is coated in a green film as well, and all shine green when it hits white light. I suppose this would work for super dark/black hair but not for anything else. I bought the whole shampoo, conditioner, and hair mask system, and now I can't use it. Really hoping they can refund me.

No, I do not recommend this product.
