Real customer reviews
Many users rate this product positively, adding that the only drawback of Matrix hair dye is that it can only be purchased at professional cosmetic stores. “I’ll tell you about my favorite Matrix paint: the attitude towards it, with or without ammonia, is equally good. For almost 20 years, this paint not only shows a quality mark, but also inspires confidence in the fact that it belongs to the Loreal brand. Color Symk is not able to completely change the color of the hair, but adds to it the depth of the shade, silky shine. This is exactly what the manufacturer promises.
This line is perfect for tinting curls. It has a diverse palette of colors. "
Alas, not every person is able to please Matrix paint. Fewer buyers of the Matrix Color Sync line without ammonia rate products at 3 out of 5. Pluses denote items such as natural color, care for smoothness and shine of hair. Cons, in their opinion, is that the paint was quickly washed off, as well as in the cost of professional salon staining.
“In order to remove the yellowness of curls and not to spoil the hair structure, the master suggested instead of lightening to carry out a tinting procedure. He argued that the hair will suffer less, but the effect will be about the same as after lightening. In the process of painting doubts began to arise, when the hair began to darken gradually. In response to this, the master said that everything will be in order. As a result, we got a dark brown shade, which has only echoes of ashen. I was glad that the paint did not spoil the hair, but, on the contrary, made it more smooth and shiny. "
There are those who did not like the paint at all. Such cases are rare, but they do occur. The buyer argued that paint can be suitable only 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 volume of 90 ml in the production of the tube.
“The paint caused an allergic reaction, but it did not give the proper result. For such a price segment, the quality is very low. In comparison with another ammonia-free paint, it loses, since other paint costs 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 enough for dyeing medium-long hair and further coloring of the roots. ”
