Details

What It Is

• Our 1st Pre-Bonded Color System

• Pre-Bonded: Our exclusive Bond-Protecting Concentrate protects the inner hair structure—so you can maintain the integrity of the hair, color after color.

• Pre-Blended: Our formulas are Pre-Blended with background + reflect—so you can neutralize every underlying pigment.

• Pre-Paired: Our permanent and demi-permanent oxidative dyes are perfectly matched—so you can achieve seamless, root-to-tip color, that lasts and fades on tone.

• Cera-Oil is still in the SoColor Sync + SoColor formulas.

• Our exclusive Bond-Protecting Concentrate protects the inner hair structure—so you can maintain the integrity of the hair, color after color.

What It Does

• Bond-protecting concentrate is composed of a unique blend of taurine and cationic polymers

• The linear network of positive charges binds to negatively charged areas of damage in the hair in order to reinforce and repair the weakened bonds within the sensitized cortex

• Pre-blended backgrounds are optimally calibrated with warm & cool dyes for a true-to-tone neutral background

• Saturated reflect in addition to Pre-Blended neutral background allow our color to be true-to-tone on every level, every base and every undertone

• Our permanent and demi-permanent oxidative dyes are perfectly matched so you can achieve seamless, root-to-tip color that lasts and fades on tone

• There is no need for a step 2 since the Pre-Bonded technology is already integrated into SoColor and SoColor Sync

• Best for color refreshes and neutralizing services.

Used to be good

a year ago

I agree that the formula changed for the worst. I used Matrix Socolor for 15 years and when the formula was changed the color no longer lifts the way it did. 9G was perfect with 40 Dev but now it is just no good.

this product has changed for the worst this year

a year ago

I used to love Socolor, until the past year. You have changed the formula, and ruined it, just like you ruined your Matrix Sleek Look shampoo and conditioner over the past 15 years. Why do you ruin your products, and make them substandard? I have used the 5G Socolor since 2019, and it had a great golden dark brown color, and covered all of my gray. Now, it has a red tint to it, and it leaves my roots looking like Pippi Longstocking red!! It is also making my scalp itch, which it did not from 2019 to 2023....during that time, I had no complaints. And, it also fades really fast, like a semi-permanent dye now. Matrix does not care about their customers at all. Please change the formula back to the way it was.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Amazing!

a year ago

I’ve used Matrix Socolor for over 16 years. Over the years I’ve tried other reputable brands and they don’t come close to Matrix. If you’re just starting to use Matrix, DONT DOUBT YOURSELF,DONT BE AFRAID AND LET EVERY NEW COLOR CLIENT BE YOUR CANVAS. Honestly it’s truly an amazing product and you along with your clients will LOVE THE EXPERIENCE OF MATRIX COLOR.

Yes, I recommend this product.
