Matrix Instacure Build-A-Bond Shampoo for damaged hair

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to try this shampoo and conditioner from Matrix, but it was kinda disappointing. It made my hair really greasy looking. I tried using less conditioner the 2nd time I used it and still had the same outcome.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this combo and for once I think I will have a high end shampoo and conditioner set permanently!

[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 shampoo 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. One thing I did note was the warning about sunlight and a possible interaction with citric acid. 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. I continued use for roughly 3 weeks and my hair didn't noticeably change for better or worse.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product to review. I loved the luxurious feel of washing my shampoo. It felt really thick. It made my hair feel soft and hydrated. It has a pleasant smell too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I realized quickly that this shampoo would be tough for already dry hair, or probably even highly textured hair, because my 1c/2a hair felt immediately zapped upon use, but when used in conjunction with the heavy conditioner it evened out. My hair was left full and soft, not flat or greasy! :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Over the years, my hair has become more thin. I'm usually willing to try anything and everything to help prevent breakage and preserve the hair that I have left. I really like this formula for the shampoo. It has a really great lather and smell to it. I haven't really noticed a difference in the amount of breakage I am experiencing but I will keep using it hoping for good results.

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product in exchange for my honest review. I am impressed. The first time I used it with the conditioner and blow dried my highlighted hair, my husband complimented how nice my hair looked and how bright my blonde was. Very happy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved this product. It felt so good while applying it to my hair in the shower and also had a pleasant scent. I love the way it made my hair feel after using it and it made it so shiny. I didn't experience any issues while using this. I would definitely recommend!

[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 shampoo that doesn't make my hair fall. Shampoo is easy to distribute through my hair and it left it feeling clean and super soft, which is a big plus for me. The hydration it provides is fantastic; my hair feels incredibly soft and nourished without any greasiness. It is not scent-free, but the scent is pleasent and not overpowering. I've noticed some improvement in my hair's strength and shine, which is great! However, I wouldn't say it's a miracle product—it's solid but not life-changing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have dry damaged hair due to excessive bleaching (I have blue hair). It is hard to find a good shampoo/conditioner combo that won't make my hair greasy or look flat, or make it crazy frizzy. I started washing my hair with this right away and saw a huge difference right away. My hair feels and looks softer and fuller than ever. In fact my mom started using it and her hair has never looked better. The scent is light and clean.. it doesn't tangle your hair in knots.. very good product and will definitely be buying it again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this product. It has a good texture and smells wonderful. Leaves hair feeling clean but silky

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product made my hair feel really dry and start breaking off at the ends.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a great shampoo for my hair type. It lathers really well. For someone who has a dry scalp it helps clean it off really good. Really does wonders for my dry and damaged hair. I would definitely recommend this shampoo.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this shampoo two days after coloring my hair. It felt soft and strong rather than brittle and breaking - I will always use this shampoo

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like to dye and bleach my hair every so often so my hair is always damaged and very dull looking. I have tried masks and oils and with no luck, kept on looking for other products that would restore my hair. I was very excited to try this Instacure Build a bond shampoo from Matrix. I've heard of The Matrix brand for years, nothing but great reviews. After the second use, I could definitely feel and see the difference. My hair is more manageable, shiny, there is more movement to it. As I continue to use it, I definitely do see a change in my hair. Definitely recommend and definitely will be buying a long with the conditioner. 10/10

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Smells great , leaves your hair feeling clean , I'm not too sure of how much repair or bonding it's doing as I've only used it a short while but my hair does feel healthier after using this , I would buy this and keep using it to see the full effects

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was allergic to it but my mom absolutely loves it! She said it has helped so much with her dry brittle curly hair. She uses it once a week and she has noticed a huge difference in her hair texture.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shampoo smells amazing produces a good lather and leaves your hair feeling clean, and soft.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been dying my hair for sometime now and it's inevitable that it gets damaged. This is why I try my best to use products that will help restore my hair. This shampoo will help with exactly that. I love the way it lathers and makes my hair feel clean and smooth.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this in place of my regular shampoo and conditioner. I do have split ends, more from constant tight hair styles, dry hair and not trimming regularly. I don't really use heat. My hair has been dry and looking rough, after using these two products after a while I did notice a difference. My hair isn't as frizzy, fluffy. It feels better , you could touch and feel it was dry the ends would be horrible. Does it remove the split ends no because I didn't properly cut them all off. But there has been an improvement to my hair and it's a product I will buy in the future. It smells amazing and a little went a long way for me. My hair is up to my back and thin.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free to give my honest opinion. I recently dyed my hair and this along with the conditioner had been great in keeping my hair healthy and strong in btw color touch ups. I think that says a lot since i have tight coils type 4 hair

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Matrix has always been a fantastic brand, so I was extremely excited to get to try this product! It did not disappoint! The smell on this is a very floral, light smell. The texture on this shampoo is very thick, which for me is always important to show the good quality of the product. I have long hair and would often lose lots of hair, due to my thick long hair and texture. After a few days of using this, I noticed a significant reduction in the amount of hair falling out and just how soft it was to comb through, even when I just had used the shampoo on its own and no conditioner. You really don't need much to get a good lather and enough to cover my whole head. I love this shampoo, I'm almost out and will definitely be purchasing this again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Left my hair feeling super smooth and healthy! And smelling good. Will definitely be purchasing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to say that I love this shampoo. First time trying out this brand but I love how it makes my hair look, it keeps my hair frizz free & very smooth.

[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 shampoo would bring my dry/damaged hair back to life. It does a great job cleaning and produces a very luxurious lather which I love. I use a lot of product and swim often so it does a great job at cleaning my strands. I also found it prevents frizz, holds up well in humidity, smooths, gives me great volume which I very much need and somewhat moisturizes. However, I did think it fell flat on moisturizing factor, especially given it is supposed to soften hair and reinforce damaged ends. I still find, even after the Instacure 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, A++ on lather, cleaning without stripping, softening and giving my hair some much needed volume. I will continue to use it but I think I need something with more heavy duty moisturizers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great shampoo. Lathers well and cleans my scalp well too. Hair feels clean but not dry after I wash off the shampoo. I took 1 star off for the smell though. It's not a fruity or sweet scent that you often smell in other shampoo; it smells like some minty herbal scent trying to mask a faint hair product (like a hair dye kind of product) smell. It's not that bad, but scent is important to me for shampoo. But if you don't care about how a shampoo smells and only about how it performs, this is a great product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using this shampoo for a month, my hair and scalp have never looked better like this before. The shampoo does a great job of cleansing my oily scalp, getting rid of all the dust and excess oil. And the best part is that I no longer have to deal with dandruff! This product has truly revolutionized my hair care routine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been washing my hair 3 times with this and have noticed a difference in my hair. My hair feels smoother and stronger. It doesn't feel weighed down with wax.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Instacure Build a Bond Shampoo gently cleanses while strengthening hair from within. It reduces breakage, restores moisture, and leaves hair feeling soft, shiny, and healthier after each use.
