Reviews from real buyers
Many users rate this product positively, adding that the only drawback of Matrix hair dye is that it can be purchased only in professional cosmetic stores. “I'll tell you about my favorite paint Matrix: the attitude towards it, both with and without ammonia, is equally good. For almost 20 years, this paint not only shows the quality mark, but also inspires confidence with the fact that it belongs to the Loreal brand. Color Symk is not able to completely change the color of the hair, but it adds depth of shade, silky shine to it. This is exactly what the manufacturer promises.
This line is perfect for toning curls. Has a varied palette of colors. "
Alas, not every person is able to please the Matrix paint. Fewer buyers of the Matrix Color Sync line without ammonia rate the products at 3 out of 5. The pluses indicate such items as natural color, care for smoothness and shine of hair. The disadvantages, in their opinion, are that the paint washed off quickly enough, as well as the cost of professional salon painting.
“In order to remove the yellowness of the curls and not spoil the hair structure, the master suggested carrying out a toning procedure instead of lightening. He argued that the hair will suffer less, but the effect will be about the same as after lightening. In the process of dyeing, doubts began to arise as the hair gradually began to darken. In response, the master said that everything would be all right. As a result, we got a dark blond shade that has only echoes of ash. I was glad that the paint did not spoil the hair, but, on the contrary, made it smoother and more shiny. "
There are those who did not like the paint at all. Such cases are rare, but they do occur. The buyer argued that the paint can only be suitable for those who want to tint their hair, and not lighten or dye it. The paint, according to the author, does not deserve the worst mark only due to the presence of a 90 ml tube in the production.
“The paint caused an allergic reaction, but did not give the desired result. For this price segment, the quality is very low. In comparison with other ammonia-free paint, it loses, since other paint is much cheaper, while it completely covers the gray hair, and lasts much longer. The only advantage of the paint is the convenient volume of the tube, which is quite enough for dyeing medium-length hair and further tinting the roots. "
