Totally worthy

3 years ago
I've had the opportunity to try matrix products and they are absolutely worth every penny, I tried the controller gel and first of all smells good, does its job on holding on firmly without the the stiffness of other brands, easy to reshape with a little bit of water, there is no need to apply more to reshape, best of all, it's easy to clean off your hands and doesn't stick too bad to combs and brushes. Overachiever 3 in 1, looks like gel in a jar, little too soft for it to call it a pomade/paste but it works like a pomade/paste easy to shape and work on hair like a champ, easy to work with a brush and hair drier, comes off easily and the best of all its not oily like some other products I've tried before. Dry shampoo, smells great at first then as it dries out has a funny smell but leaves hair smelling good and works, I used this product to remove gel and overachiver and work fine. I would highly recommend the line of products, MATRIX has proved that makes great quality products and has the consumer in mind, it might not be the best budget options since it's not cheap compared to other hair products and doesn't break the brand as many others. If you are looking for the best give it a try and judge by yourself.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Solid

Pretty solid gel. I'm super picky because I have curly hair and use gel regularly so I want something that fully does why it says and keeps the form in my hair. I like their product, it's light weight and not residue leaving. Smells decent

No flakiness

Used this gel controller to make a slick back ponytail and it worked very well. It didn't leave my hair feelings super stiff or flaky like I've noticed with other products. It was easy to work with on dry hair and left my hair in perfect condition throughout the whole night.

Great hold

3 years ago
I really like this gel for my curly hair! It smells great, not sticky & holds my curls in place without weighing them down & that's not an easy task for a gel. My hair wasn't "crunchy" either like some gels can do. I am often looking for products exactly like this as I do not blow dry my hair, I air dry it so my curls set. I need something that is no fuss, this fits the bill wonderfully!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Light yet effective

3 years ago
I'm not usually someone who uses a lot of gel because I'm a very lazy person but I had to try this product out for myself. Now, I have hair long enough to come down to my butt but I do have the annoying fly aways that I need to tame every now and then after I curl or straighten my hair. This gel is not only light weight but doesn't have any scents nor does it leave any residue in my hair. It holds down my fly aways all day long and doesn't leave it greasy!! Super recommended - you won't regret it.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I'm not a huge fan of gel styling products, however this one worked pretty well, was able to maintain a shareable hair style throughout the day, adds a shine to the hair. Not very high hold. The dry shampoo works great as a second day primer for your styling needs, no oily residue or chemical smell as found on some other dry shampoos

Yes, I recommend this product.

Gel is perfect for baby hairs

3 years ago
I have a lot of baby hairs on my head and this hair gel is perfect for taming them and keeping them in place. I only had to use a little bit, about pea sized amount total for both sides of my head baby hairs. Not even hairspray would work on them so I'm really happy this gel did without making them crunchy or giving them the wet look. It's also pretty decent at keeping up the under ponytail hairs that come out throughout the day. It kept about 90% of them up so I didn't look like a frazzled mess. I'm glad I got to try this hair gel because I will definitely be using it more!

Yes, I recommend this product.

I'm so EXCITED to have been introduced to the Matrix Controller Gel! I've been on the hunt for awhile now to find a product that gives the right amount of hold that my teenager's hard to manage hair needs. He LOVES it! We love the scent as it's not too overpowering, the eye catching packaging and that it has salon like quality! I will be repurchasing as soon as we run out of this new staple haircare product! It's an absolute winner for the ENTIRE family!

Never been a fan of gel...

3 years ago
But now I am for sure a fan of gel! My go to usually is a water based matte cream, I enjoy the medium hold and it being washed out easily with no buildup but I find myself adding hairspray on the rainy days because the hold wouldn't be enough and then I'd have the crunch hair. With this gel it checks all the boxes of being water based, low shine and strong hold without the crunchy stiffness. I love it!
