Softened coarse type 4 hair, Yaa

a year ago
My type 4 hair was instantly tamed, detangled from the shock of the shampoo, yikes, and softened. Followed up with the mask, using a curl can Dream leave in for a twist out and my hair feels great. This line’s leave is is gel like, which from experience is not the best for my hair, so I glad to have the curl product line. I’m looking forward to building strong 💪🏾 with this product line. Thanks

Yes, I recommend this product.

Smooth, Strong, and Silky – The Perfect Conditioner for Dama

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Instacure Build a Bond Conditioner alongside the shampoo, and it's made a noticeable difference in the health of my hair. This conditioner is perfect for anyone dealing with breakage or damage, it leaves my hair feeling incredibly smooth and hydrated without any heaviness. After just a few uses, I could tell my hair was stronger and more resilient, especially when brushing or styling. The formula is creamy and easy to distribute, plus it rinses out nicely without leaving any residue. I love how soft and silky my hair feels afterward, and it definitely helps with detangling as well. Paired with the shampoo, it's a game-changer for restoring and maintaining hair strength.

Yes, I recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] oh wow the Instacure build a bond shampoo and conditioner is really helping my dry damaged hair. It's brought new life to my tired locks with an incredible shine. It's too soon to see if it's going to help with my breakage issues but it's cured my lifeless sad lack of shine problems so that's a HUGE WIN! woohoo!

It was disappointing

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to try this shampoo and conditioner, but it wasn't what I was expecting. It made my hair greasy looking. I even tried using less conditioner the 2nd time I used it, but still got the same results.

No, I do not recommend this product.

So So Conditioner

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had high hopes for this product as Matrix is a well known salon brand and I have used their products in the past however this was my first time using the Instacure Build A Bond line. I have medium length color treated hair that I would say at the time was pretty damaged. The conditioner comes in a colorful and bright bottle that is clearly marked with the major ingredients Citric Acid and Squalane. I do not recall ever seeing citric acid as a notable ingredient in hair care before so was curious to see how it worked out. The smell and appearance is pleasant and it lathered well and rinsed out well. I didn't notice anything different about my hair while in the shower, it felt as it always has and not smooth or revived like other bonding conditioner. I continued use for roughly 3 weeks and my hair didn't noticeably change for better or worse. I was expecting a big difference in shine and softness as I have had with other bonding lines but this just didn't hit the mark.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Average Conditioner

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The conditioner does a great job of moisturizing my hair. I didn't really care for the formula as it feels heavy when applying it to my hair and doesn't spread as easily as I would like. I do like the smell of the conditioner too.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I would purchase for myself

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed this treatment system by Matrix, Instacure Build-A-Bond shampoo & conditioner. I had been using a more expensive system when I was given the opportunity to try this system. I could tell a big difference in my hair, after just one wash. It smells wonderfully clean!! I would recommend this line & I will purchase myself in the future.

After blow drying, my husband complimented how nice my hair looked. This didn't weigh down my thin hair and really brought out my highlights.

Not bad but there are better conditioners

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you, BzzAgent for sending me Instacure Build a Bond Shampoo & Conditioner to try for free in exchange for an honest review. I used it for a few weeks and while I cannot share any long-term results yet, overall I am quite impressed. I have very fine, wavy hair and I usually struggle with finding a good hair products that don't make my hair fall. The conditioner is a bit thick for my test, but nonetheless, I was happy with it - it does combat the frizz (again, it is not magic pixie dust :) ) - but note that I live in a very dry climate, so I am not sure how it would fare when there is humidity, and detangled my hair enough to be able to easily style it afterwards. It has a nice scent to it and I've used it in combination with the shampoo, there were some noticible results in the few weeks I used it for.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Must try

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have very dry damaged hair, which gets extremely greasy. I tend not to use a lot of conditioner because of it. I was a little nervous using the conditioner, since grease is a huge problem for me, but this wasn't the case. It just enhanced the shampoo..I am impressed and love it. Will definitely be buying and i have recommended it to several friends.

Yes, I recommend this product.

My hair has never felt softer!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am the type of person that is often doing something with my hair, I like to refresh my look every so often. With all that, comes hair damage so I was very excited to try this Instacure Binding conditioner along with the shampoo from Matrix. This is the 5th time using them both and I have to say that I definitely felt a difference on the texture of my hair after the second use. Not only does my hair feel amazing but also looks it, very manageable. I definitely recommend this product and definitely will be purchasing and integrating into my hair care routine.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Loved it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't have a before but my hair used to look so dry at the ends and they would be visible split ends. While I still have some split ends my hair doesn't look so dry anymore and the ends look more together. I've used this set a month, a little bit over and I've loved it. A little goes a long way especially the shampoo. I have long about hip length hair I have two small front sections colored and also barely saw any color come off during shower. I have naturally curly hair. It has a lovely smell, it's something I'm glad I got to sample and will be looking forward to making a staple.

Yes, I recommend this product.

It leaves my hair smooth and after it looks way better. Once it's dry my hair is shiny and more tamed. I will be changing this to my new regular conditioner.

Great at Smoothing, Could Have Used More Moisture

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free sample and thought the description sounded perfect for me color-treated, dry, damaged, very straight hair. I live in South Florida so it is very humid and I'm constantly in the sun and/or water (salt and chlorinated) so I was hoping this conditioner would bring my dry/damaged hair back to life. It does a great job smoothing, softening and detangling and it smells amazing. I also found it prevents frizz, holds up well in humidity, and gives me great volume and somewhat moisturizes. However, I think it fell flat on the moisturizing factor, especially given it is supposed to soften hair and reinforce damaged ends. I still find, even after the Instacure shampoo and conditioner, that I am lacking the 'bond' and moisture it promises. I am still left with dry, damaged ends that after a few days of no wash, they start to look like straw. I did have to follow my Instacure haircare routine with heavy oil or leave-in conditioner on my ends. However, my hair still did improve in texture (soft and smooth), it did not weigh my already flat hair down and it did provide some moisture, it may just not be enough for my specific strands. I will continue to use it but I think I need something with more heavy duty moisturizers.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Great conditioner

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I left a review for the shampoo in the same line too, and like I said in that review, this is a great product except for the smell. This conditioner makes my hair feel like it's given a good treatment. My hair feels smooth and slick after I use it. Make sure you follow the direction to leave the product in the hair for a least a few minutes. The smell is same as the shampoo which is not great. It's like a minty herbal scent trying to make a faint chemically hair product smell. I took a star off for that, but otherwise a great product.

Yes, I recommend this product.
