Cool and Calming

2 years ago
I was worried this serum would make my hair look greasy, but was pleasantly surprised. I used it at my hair line which can get dry and itchy from skincare. It felt cool, but not excessively so. Would feel GREAT between braids or after a long day in a tight pony!

while over all my hair felt better and it wasn't heavy or oily I feel like I will need to use this longer to decide if it actually helps the breakage.

I’m enjoying this scalp serum, I have really dry scalp sometimes and it’s been helping me so much! I use the same line, shampoo and conditioner and they all 3 work so good together. I’m really enjoying this line. I recommend it the amount of product that comes with is worth the price.

I really enjoyed this! The minty and tingly feeling was DIVINE. I wasn’t expecting that at all! I didn’t use it on dry hair though, I used it in the shower before I shampooed in order to avoid getting greasy faster. It definitely soothed a sore scalp and felt amazing!

Clean Scalp

I wear my hair up every day for my job and use a lot of hairspray. This helps to clean and clarify my scalp of any product build up. I use this when needed and I feel like my hair needs a cleanse! Will continue to purchase this!

I really like this serum! It smells really good. And most importantly I noticed that it did help with the breakage and the build up on my scalp. I have dry scalp, so I was really happy that I received this product and that it worked fairly well. You do have to be careful though because if you use even a little bit too much it makes your hair very greasy.

Sets my scalp right!

I’m new to scalp serums and was a bit hesitant to use one. I didn’t see the purpose in it, really. However, after using this for one month now, I’m sold! It sets my scalp right with just a few drops. It’s helped decrease dandruff. I’d buy this in the future.

Scalp Serum - No real results

3 years ago
I have really looked forward to the days that I use Matrix Instacure Anti-breakage products in my shampoo and conditioner rotation. I can’t say that I’ve seen a big difference in my scalp health or breakage since using the serum. I don’t love the smell. It reminds me of the chemicals you may smell in a salon. I wouldn’t say it is overly strong, but it is definitely there while using the product and once your hair has dried.

If you have breakage I recommend this product it moisturizes your ends and leaves your ends not dry, I think this product would be great for curly hair!

Great Product- Faulty Packaging

3 years ago
I got this through Influenster and a campaign! Unfortunately when I got it the spray bottle didn’t function at all. Luckily I had a separate screw top spray hair conditioner bottle I was about to toss in order to replace it. Overall this helped make it easier to comb my hair after washing and conditioning it, and it smelled nice. Unfortunately I didn’t see a huge difference when compared to other products I already owned. I may potentially repurchase this, but I don’t see myself becoming dedicated to the line.

Easy to use

The spray works pretty well and the spray applicator really helps disperse the product over a wide area. The spray is infused with B5 and liquid protein which are meant to nourish stay here and help with overall repair and strength to reduce breakage. This is ideally used on damp hair and meant to be left in without needing to be rinsed out.

What a relief!

My scalp tends to get dry in the winter and this Anti-Breakage Scalp Relief serum helped keep my scalp hydrated and nourished. I tend to wear my hair up which would leave tension in my scalp and this helped to alleviate that. The serum did not feel oily nor leave any residue. Overall, it worked really well with my hair! I highly recommend!

Scalp relief serum

I enjoyed this scalp serum! It feels good on the scalp and doesn’t leave it super oily like I thought it would. I haven’t used it long enough to say if it’s done anything for my hair in the long run but the serum does feel really nice and moisturizing! No sticky residue and it seems like it’ll last a very long time as do all the other bottles that were sent! So I’m very grateful that INFLUENSTER sent this to me to try.

A great conditioning product for my hair!

3 years ago
I always use a leave-in spray before I brush my hair after shower, so I was really happy when I received this product for testing! Matrix InstaCure B5 + Liquid Protein Anti-breakage porosity spray did not disappoint! It makes hair brushing a breeze. I also like the design of the bottle, the spray trigger works great. Because of dry climate, my hair tends to get dry and brittle, especially during colder months, so this helped me a lot to get my hair nourished and hydrated. I love that the product is infused with liquid proteins! It really helps to control frizz, fill hair porosity and to boost elasticity!

Freshness

I used it to be able to do my revision, but I really didn't need it at all, I could notice a sensation of freshness that relieves any itching, super recommended when you wear braids for example, since the hair is usually tight and de root dries out. #matriz #Voxbox #influenster @matriz @influenster #haircare #serum

Full disclosure I’m not normally a hair “serum” girl, I like using oil for my ends and a scalp spray at my roots to keep things balanced out. It was definitely a shift for me to use one product all over - I liked the texture and how it didn’t make me feel greasy afterwards, but I do feel like I’m missing that intense moisture at my ends from an oil.

Good hair serum

3 years ago
I have only used this a few times in between washes. I works well. It’s never a product I’ve thought of purchasing but it works good. I don’t tend to have dry or itchy scalp but if it’s meant to protect hair from breakage then I will continue to use it since I have light blonde hair and get it colored professionally. Anything I can do to keep my hair feeling healthy I am down to do! Would recommend it and hope to see good results as I use it.

Nice

The scent is really nice but it’s confusing a bit how to use it. The scalp feels nice and hydrated on the first day I applied but I do have oily roots and scalp so that continued. My scalp did feel nice after using it.

I love the smell and packaging of this product. I have not used it a ton but so far I like it. I use it at night time to allow it to absorb over night so not sure how this would look during the day/wearing in out.
