Cream Beauty Spot: Matrix Total Results Collection

WHAT: Matrix Total Results. DESCRIPTION: An ideal haircare range tending to every hair ‘issue’ there may be. The packaging is simple and colour-coded so that you won’t do your, er, head in when shopping for particular products at the salon. The name of the product alludes to the desired result, too, making things even more attractive: ‘Hello Blondie’, ‘High Amplify’, ‘Moisture Me Rich’, ‘Curl Please’, ‘Mega Sleek’ and ‘So Long Damage’ speak volumes, indeed, in a world where haircare options can otherwise be overwhelming. VERDICT: This reviewer tried the ‘Color Obsesses So Silver’ Shampoo, Conditioner and Miracle Treat and can say the system has helped keep my auburn hues intact longer than expected, meaning less trips to the hairdresser for colour top-ups! Five out of five. COST: Prices per product vary of course, but to give you and idea, they range from $17.50 for the Color Obsessed Miracle Treatment, for example, if purchased from a savings-store like Price Attack, up to RRP$25.00 for an Amplify Hairspray. Dig a little deeper online and you could score something like the ‘So Long Damage Intense Repairing Treatment’ from a site like Catch Of The Day for just $9.95. A bargain for brilliant results.
