LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product line

2 months ago
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.

Dreaming no more

I have fine hair and a very dusty job. I was extremely pleased how well the shampoo cleansed my hair. I follow up with the co-wash since I use the shampoo more frequently. The moisturizing cream wasn’t too heavy but too oily for my fine hair. I still recommend it for the more coarse textures.

It smells like heaven…and it works!

3 years ago
I tend to be a little skeptical of new products that claim to do something others can't but in this case it's the absolute truth. Let me first say that even if this stuff did nothing I would buy this anyway just for the scent alone. The scent in this string of products is AMAZING and the best I have ever smelled. That being said, this shampoo is marketed for a certain type of hair of which I do not have. I used it anyway out of curiosity if it could help nourish and define my wavy hair. It does. It absolutely does and immediately. You will have instant results after first use. I then curl my hair with hot rollers. This shampoo improved the results of this daily routine. My hair was styled better, held the curls beautifully and I followed this with the A Curl Can dream oil for finish and my hair looked 20 years younger. Needless to say, I am adding this product to my rotation.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Co-was Heaven

This co-wash was perfect for my wash day. It was very essential and something I didn't know I needed. You use the co-wash before you shampoo and condition. You will see a big difference and feel the difference. I definitely recommend 10/10

Works well for some

3 years ago
This shampoo is meant to help remove any build up but unfortunately it didn't leave my hair feeling deep cleaned. I felt my hair actually more greasy and very heavy. I also noticed it didn't lather very well. I will say the smell is amazing and it worked better on my nieces hair (dry curls) but not for my curls thag have more moisture.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Curly cowash

I unfortunately can not review this product since I saw that Linalool is an ingredient in this. I am allergic to Linalool, if I were to put this directly on my scalp and it is touching my skin (Face, scalp, back etc), I would have had a bad reaction. It is in a ice bottle with easy instructions.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Amazing slip

I don't like cowashes, but this one is good, it lathers a little bit for cleaning the scalp and has amazing slip to detangle my curls! I really liked this product! Matrix sent me this free sample through the BzzAgent sampling program.

Great for dense curls

Soft and manageable

I have been using Matrix A Curl Can Matrix Dream Co-Wash for a few weeks now and I am absolutely in love with it! It has made such a huge difference in the health and appearance of my curly hair. It is so gentle and moisturizing, but it also cleans my hair really well. I have not had any problems with product buildup or my hair feeling weighed down. I highly recommend this co-wash to anyone with curly hair!

It's okay

3 years ago
The cowash is okay, smells a little citrusie. I like the consistency, it's thick and a little can go a long way. My hair typically does well with butters so the creaminess is nice. It doesn't condition too well, a deep conditioner or leave in condition after is definitely needed. I did not have this lines deep conditioner to use after. My photos show the product in my hair and when it's washed out.

The co-wash wasn't bad but there wasn't anything about it that particularly stood out. Maybe, the company should consider adding a detangling agent to the formula to help.

Better than other co-washes

3 years ago
This product is perfect for refreshing. My curls in between deep wash days. It's different from other curly hair co-washes I've tried. It still removes buildup, but it also conditions and preserves my curl pattern. My hair feels cleansed and clean after I use this product, but it doesn't feel stripped. My hair feels replenished after I use this. I have seen an improvement in the appearance of my curls since using this. There is a significant reduction in frizz, and my hair looks a lot shinier because it is more moisturized. My curls don't fall apart when they're drying anymore. I would recommend this to anyone else that struggles with frizzy curls. I will be purchasing this product again.

Yes, I recommend this product.

So far...very magical

I'm actually impressed by the texture of this shampoo because what I'm used to is a totally different consistency. With that being said the formula is incredible and I have seen quite the difference in how my hair reacts to the shampoo. That being I do see a lack in frizz but that could also be in combination with the other A Curl products.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Love this product line, the best thing I like about is that the whole line smells the same! It smells so good. What I like about the co wash its like a "conditioner" so I use it every time I wash her hair besides once a week I use shampoo. It has made her hair so soft and manageable. Considering it used to get tangled a lot because of her curls/waves

Nice Cowash

3 years ago
I received this product for free in exchange of a review. Overall, I like it. It gently cleans and detangles my 3b curly hair, so that I don't need to use shampoo as often. I like the ingredients (no silicones!) and the smell is salon-like. The smell is what distinguishes this product the most for me as I am used to cowashes with more "natural", sweet scents. Overall, this is was a decent cowash and I would buy again for the smell. I did not notice any big differences in my hair between this and other cowashes.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Clean but not stripped
