Where I got it: I was really interested in these cleansing conditioners when they were launched and I was lucky enough to be sent some to try. To find your nearest Matrix salon, visit www.matrixnewzealand.com or contact 0800 657 666.
What I got: I was sent a 500ml bottle of Matrix Biolage Cleansing Conditioner and a 200ml bottle of Anti-Frizz Lotion. The NEW Matrix Biolage Cleansing Conditioner range brings a new era in hair care with no shampoo, but simply one 5-minute step. With no parabens, heavy silicones or harsh salts, it represents a magical balance to cleanse without stripping and yet condition without weight. There’s no better time to ‘break-up’ with shampoo. Available for curly, fine and medium hair, the cleansing conditioners are low-lathering, fast-rinsing and soap-free to gently lift impurities for optimal hair manageability. Furthermore, the leave-in treatment is a detangling and defining one containing no harsh chemicals. It’s the revolutionary way to control frizz and static leaving no residue. The NEW Matrix Biolage Cleansing Conditioner range provides superior manageability in just one step. The results? Incredible shine, body and movement for a total transformation any day of the week.
How I find it:
Matrix Biolage Cleansing Conditioner. Absolutely love this cleansing conditioner! It smells really nice and fruity but not a tacky smell at all. It is creamy and pretty much melts into my hair when applied. I have medium/long hair that is quite thick so I need about 10 pumps to cover my hair entirely. It does not lather up but it turns kind of milky. I use this on the third day after I shampoo my hair as a light cleansing because constant shampooing my hair was making it really dry and frizzy. This cleansing conditioner leaves my hair nice and soft and I don’t use a conditioner after this.

Matrix Biolage Anti-Frizz Lotion. After towel-drying my hair, I use 1 pump of this anti-frizz lotion and apply mainly to my lengths which is plenty. I then blow dry my hair as normal and I may use another pea sized amount to smooth out the flyaways after blow drying. My hair feels soft and not greasy after using this, but you need to make sure not to use too much. It always seems like the product has disappeared when you apply onto damp hair, but after blow drying, you can tell if you used too much product because it can bunch up hair and make it feel and look greasy and sticky.

Overall: I am not a fan of shampooing my hair every second day so I quite like using a cleansing conditioner. I use this on the 3rd day, then 3 days after using this, I will use a proper shampoo. 3 days after that I use this cleansing condition and so on. I don’t use a conditioner after using this and it works great for my hair and doesn’t make my hair feel greasy at all and does not cause dandruff. Both products smell amazing and I love it heaps! I can expect that the cleansing condition to run out first then the anti-frizz lotion.
