Wow!!

8 months ago
Incredible for my hair that is thick, coarse, and always frizzy. I have tried just about everything to keep it moisturized but my hair sucks up everything so fast I have to use at least 3 leave in products after showering to maintain it. So when I say this product has been an actual holy grail, I am not exaggerating. Idk why, it just works, i can use this on its own and it contains my frizz and locks in the moisture my hair need to stay soft and shiny. That being said, the container is pretty small and I have a lot of hair … so this is my plea to Matrix - please make this product available in a larger container. I know it’s probably meant to be used sparingly but I would bathe in this if I could.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Works for my curly/wavy hair

Most after shower products don't do much for my medium wavy/curly hair. This has helped tame it and keep my frizz to a minimum. I will rebuy!

I received this product for free for an honest review. Unfortunately it didn't leave my hair feeling the greatest. I hear nothing but great reviews from others but I don't think it's the greatest for ones with a thicker texture of hair.

Wow! Great for curly hair

I use this product on my daughter's 3c curly hair and it leaves it so nice and soft. No sticky residue. Just silky soft hair. I use this after we have wash days. I do not follow up with any product afterwards.

Yes, I recommend this product.

LOVE THIS!

I waited about a month or so to write my review. I have long wavy hair and only wash it about 2 times a week, so in order to get a good grasp on a product it usually takes awhile. That being said, I used this tangent with the Build-A-Bond in shower serum. The consistency is much thicker and gel like than my usual leave in conditioners. However, I feel like it works IMMEDIATELY! After one use, I was able to brush through my usually tangled, gnarly hair with such ease! My hair feels softer and more hydrated than ever!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Dreamy Hair

I use this after I get out of the shower and let it sit for a few minutes before brushing through and I blow dry my hair with a blow dry brush! I've noticed that it helps get the knots out of my hair and reduces frizz once it's dry.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I would def buy this product

I like this leave-in balm that'll seal my colored hair. I have very fine hair and eventually it dry and broken at the ends and this sealant by Matrix is very helpful to get my hair in working order again.

Yes, I recommend this product.
