Matrix Intense Moisture Masque/ Matrix Hair Masque
What Matrix product claims: –
It infuses nourishing moisture into dry, rebellious, over stressed hair with a special complex of silk amino acids, wheatgerm oil and botanical extracts of lemongrass, algae and sage. It improves elasticity, minimized porosity.
Suitable for normal to dry hair
- Size: 392 gm
- Price: Rs 300-400/- approx (my apologies, but I got this around a year ago so I don’t remember the exact price)
How to use creme intense Moisture Masque
Apply to clean, damp hair. Distribute evenly, section by section and massage. Leave for 15 min with or without heat. Rinse thoroughly.
Ingredients of Matrix Biolage moisture masque
: It has a very long list of long chemical names.
- As per the internet, Silk amino acids give the skin a very soft and velvety feel when used in a cosmetic product, and have some excellent water-binding properties i.e. they retain moisture. Hydrolyzed from pure silk fibers, silk amino acids have a lower molecular weight than silk protein powders and are penetrating and moisturizing to skin and hair. So basically they become a part of the hair(as far as I can understand).
- Wheat germ oil is extremely rich, unrefined oil. It is packed with vitamins D, A and E, and is rich in protein.
-
Lemongrass is extremely beneficial in healthy scalp care, stimulating healthy circulation and hair growth , preventing the development of bacteria, and alleviating skin/scalp rash and providing intense moisture to the hair.
- Sage: dandruff control
- Algae extract help in retaining moisture
My experience with Matrix Hydra Therapie Hydra-creme Intense Moisture Masque
I consider it a very very lucky day for my hair, when the salesman convinced me to buy this. Really ladies, this is the best thing I have ever got for my hair. It is a dream come true for dry hair. This masque is the easiest deep conditioning, you can do at home. Please bear with my going all excited about this. I have dry and curly hair which I got rebounded few months back. I have been using this masque since last year twice a month normally . It delivers everything it promises. I massage it for five minutes , all over the scalp and hair till root , then put on a plastic cap and wrap hot towel. Then rinse thoroughly after one hour or so. Or I massage it at night, cover with a plastic cap then go to sleep. In the morning, I take a little bit more and massage the scalp and then hot towel. The lady at the salon told me this method. Both of them work nicely.
What I liked about Matrix Hair Masque
- Light, creamy texture so easily spread and literally disappears in hair .
- Awesome fragrance. Mild floral. Lingers till I wash the hair next time (when I don’t shampoo)
- Easy to use.
- Reasonable price. It’s been almost an year and I have still some left.
- So many good natural ingredients like wheatgerm oil and botanical extracts of lemongrass, algae and sage.
- It totally moisturizes the hair, which was the main thing I wanted from it.
- Works like magic on hair. The hair becomes so soft, shiny (as you can see in the photograph), manageable and healthy.
What I did not like about Matrix Hair Masque
- Contains parabens
- Contains lots of chemicals which could seem a problem to some.
- Availability can be an issue since it’s either available at the matrix salons or very few stores.
- Comes in a tub so not hygienic. Though I don’t think putting so much product in a tube would have been feasible so basically they didn’t have any other option. But still….
Verdict: it’s a very good product. I have a certificate ahem…. Ahem….. Whenever I get a haircut or when I got rebounding done, every time the hair stylist says that I have very healthy hair. Though I should also tell you that I oil my hair regularly and use egg sometimes but still this is a product which gives results every time. So I am going to keep on giving my hair this treat.
Rating – 4/5( deducted one point for lot of chemicals )

I havent seen matrix in H& G too buddy..
Hi Maneesha..I am currently in Pune but when i was in Blore i used to visit the Comm Street HnG and the one at marathalli
oh you moved to pune. I knew you were in Bangalore for sometime. Ok I will check the one at marthahalli or L’oreal salon. I am new to Banagalore and its tough to know where to shop etc etc… Thanks a lot honey.
I am completely sold for the product. I cant wait to get myhands on it. I guess it will relieve my unruly and frizzy hair.
oh yes…it helps alot..in summers my hair gets super frizzy and this really helps calm them down..
actually we are sold after looking at silky and shiny Ashu hair
yeps..it Jaagofyed the urge to have straight hair..
hi Maneesha, biolage is available in most of the hair salons, if you are in kormangala, theres this salon called ‘silhouette’ opp the SONY showroom (5th block) psstt- they give really good haircuts and the hairstylists sometimes are supercute

i love exploring more options 
i’ve to wait sooo long to get a haircut, its not even funny, my hair growth is so slow 
DITTO Sneha for exploring and my hair stops going after a particular length too
yeah!..plus its curly, so even if it has actually grown, it looks like the same old length
, and sometimes people ask me if i got a haircut,..becoz my hair looks shorter after curling up by itself! like an inch an a half! LOL 
thats the only problem with matrix products. they are only available in os selected places…
Helllo Maneesha….i love Matrix hair care range and i see them in professional Loreal saloon ..
yeps..ive seen them in alot of salons too..

Hi divya! I love that shop!! Thanks for reminding me about it..i had forgotten the name and was thinking bout it as well..They hav oodles of brands and sell wholesale too.. i used t luv going there and spending hours ther and in HnG..
haha they must be missing their special customer zara…
moment i enter my H& G store sales woman carries this big grin 
Ha! Seriously yaar..i luved that place..used to spend so much time there asking about all products and getting samples and chit chatting bout wots new.. sigh…
hahhaha !! whats new is my tag line tooo
they have really gud stuff..i like their toners too..have u tried them? I hav the jasmine one…
Welcome
I too love that shop, they are wholesale providers to salons, have brands that are not easily available and at discount
Divya recently posted..Faces Cosmetics Haul
yes..they seem to have all brands even which r unheard of..theirs was the first place where i saw such big jars of cosmetics..my tongue practically rolled out…hehe..
hahah
pssstt @ reply na! about that wholesale shop ! *impatience*
hey which side is this place on comm street ???
why dint i ever see it ?or is it that lil complex kind of a place at the end of the street with imported stuffs and perfumes??? 
Hi sneha..
When u enter Comm street from the main side (the lane opp Mysore silk sarees), this shop will be on ur left. Its near the lane where u get bangles. THis shop is on the first floor of the bldg so u wud have t luk up to catch it. If m not mistaken it very close the the shop where u get kurtis…kinda like fab india..forgot the name though..something like just earth or somethin…hope i gave u a rough idea bout it..
ok, so from what i can guess right now, is this shop the first one on the right of the 1st floor, just a small flight of stairs to this shop of the complex
Yeps..i think u got it!
woohoo! this proves dat our lil brains have an amazing capacity to store the locations of these shops that we find with time *
*woot woot* and thanx 
yess..especially when it comes to shopping, we have minds as sharp as a whip..
Out of the two methods( one the 15min method and the other overnight method) that you use , which one do you mostly follow and effective?
Overnight method will always be more effective …rest Ashu will advise
hi, the night one gives little better result. the salon lady said that in night when you are relaxed then the product works better. but the only thing you should make sure is that in the morning, apply lil more and then do hot towel because as the masque dries and makes the strand lil hard . first time when i used this overnight method, i forgot to appply some more and hot towel in the morning so it took a lot of time to be washed out.
seems to be good. but having too many checmicals
hehe actually Ashu has already got re bonded hair so i am sure she doesn’t mind more chemical on her hair when it is working for her..
by the way Ashu u got re-bonding done three times
ya right anamika. actually this chemically loaded thing is working veryyyyyyyyyy nicely for me so i am not gonna leave it…
i got rebonding done only once . why did you think i had it done thrice ??
i know its got loads of chemical but it has worked very nicely so i dont mind
Ashu, really nice review..i also wana try this..i’ve used the serum but never the masque…
btw, how do u manage to maintain ur hair so well even after repeated rebonding? any other nuska??
My hair is very weak but curly and i wana straighten them or rebond but i always change my mind for fear of going bald!
hi zara, the thing is i only got rebonding done once. as anamika said after rebonding lots of money goes on those salon shampoos conditoners etc. i truly believe in natural nuskas . so the first thing i have been doing since forever ids oiling with olive oil, badam oil and herb induced oil etc atleast twice a week. then i use egg, hibiscus leaves, methi, aloevera whenever i can . so you ca ntry these.
Oh! Man! thats alot of maintenance ya…and m so lazy..
i wish there was some easy solution to make my hair straight and not require itna efforts to maintain also..
hehehe i should know this Ashu ..because i got rebonding done from best of the saloon ..used all the best of the products ..my monthly hair care costed me some 3000 bucks and still i landed up losing so much of hair
wowieee! just post care costed that much? and m so lazy to do all this…i shud keep away and forget about straight hair i gues..
may be i was wrong ..i use to get this deep conditioning method done from l’oreal of Rs 1100..and then their shampoo and masks were of rs800 that time and serum too.
but matrix is a affordable range of L’oreal so it wont be that expensive
phir bhi..i guess one has to be regular with the post-care which m too lazy t do..i guess i have to make peace with my crazy maggie noodle hair..
i lie curly hair ..actually i like straight hair too
i hav curly hair but its so irritating..whenever i try to do anythign with it there will be those usual tiny wisps of hair which escape and make me luk lik ea bhootni..and alternately when i do straightning my hair becomes so flat that i cant do anything anyways without hair spray…so ive left trying to do anything with my hair…but once in a while after reading posts like this the ‘umaang’ for straight hair rises to the surface once more
u know zara, if ur hair is really curly or half curly like mine, try not combing after a shower,just towel dry ur hair and apply serum,scrunch it up and let it air dry, or if in a hurry use a diffuser in ur hair drier..works really well for me and my curls show up really good
Thanks for the tip Sneha! btw…it may sound kinda dumb..but how do u use a diffuser with a HD?
A diffuser is attached to the mouth of HD, it basically prevents the hair from stretching out when blow drying by uniformly spreading the air, hence u get smoothed out non frizzy hair and smooth curls unlike HDs which blow ho t air so fast that the head looks like a big ball of mess..
try it out
Thanks Sneha!
awesome stud tip
you come come
i so wnt this, nice review
Rentu recently posted..Himani Boroplus Triple Action Light Moisturizing Lotion
thanks… do you use it
What is the difference between rebonding and smoothening?
rebonding ..old method of straightening..damage to hair is more even with after care.hair becomes straw textured.hairloss is more.
smoothening/straight therapy r latest..neutralizer is applied over hair..kept for 25 min,washed and ironed and again neutralizer is applied for 20 min..washed and blow dried..voila ur hair is baby soft,smooth.
damage is minimum and with proper hair care we can reduce hair fall.
Good review
… i think i should purchase it 
… coz my hair are too rough and fizzy…if i go out with open hair it surly ruin my all fun.

grt review
i got my hair smoothened by matrix opti smooth method 4 days back.
this method i choose over normal rebonding/straightening becos it doesnt make ur hair poker straight but gives a blowe dried staight look with volume.today went for the final wash at salon and got it trimmed.looks fab and stays like this for a yr atleast..
3 yrs back i got swarzkop straight therapy ans stayed that way over a yr.
the salon girl used biolage shampoo and condtioner .
here its costing 1200rs 500ml shampoo and 1200rs 500 ml condi..
good i dint buy it.. wud come to india and get this.
thanks ashu for the review
hahah yes ..u can have best of both Vidhya now
Hey Vidhya..just wanted t kno a bit more bout this procedure..how harmful is it for the hair? I have alot of hairfall whenever i straighten my hair and it grows back really slowly..
i hav curly and sorta frizza hair too..
And also, how much did this procedure cost u?
hi zara
the process i answered in maneesha’s.
yes it chemical process which neutralises ur hair structure.take care well of ur hair nothing wud happen
actually straighteners and blow drying is more damaging than this
after this u need not use any one of above mentioned tools.
hair stays soft smooth and straight
newly growing hair depending on ur original hair wus be curly/wavy..mine is kinda straight in the roots and as it goes down becomes curly and frizzy
donot use too much oil massage on hair imm after this process.can use deep condi or spa..after 2-3 months start oil massage..
it costed me 6000 inr..shampoo and contioner is separate
thanks.. it gives the so needed dose of moisture
yes anamika
this is grt..my hair is so smooth and soft .i was fed up of my malinga curls and frizz !!!!
hmmi don have curls but my hair do tend toget frizzy..i will think about it ..how much did the treatment costed you there?
me too have curls down ..upper hair is kind of straight.
it costed 6000 rs for my short hair just 3 inches below shoulder length..
leaving to india on friday. ….
yeyeyey!!1 excited??
so whats in your buying list??
I got this a couple of months ago but was too lazy to use it regularly..after this review, I am so gonna use it twice a month religiously!! will post before and after pictures if it works this well!!
yup do let us know Keerthi
Ashu thanks for the review, your hair is truly gorgeous.

bhumika recently posted..Duchess Marden Products Review-1
hi, it provides moisture to the scalp so massaging is nice. i didnt have any problems. actually i just followed the way deep conditioning is done at salon.they massage the product all over. so….
Hi, How often is it advisable to use this pdt. I was sooooo impressed with this review that I bought myself one but now I am wondering if I should just try the 1 hour method or the night method! Should the hair be damp when you apply the masque??
HI Malini …
its all up to you and yur hair requirement to use the product..some time when i feel my hair is serverely dry i put it some for 4-5 hours or overnight and when i have used it 3-4 days back then i use it just one hour..
hope u enjoy it ..also if u have oily hair then u don need to put it for overnight i believe. i hope u got what i am trying to say 
and yes i do damp my hair bit before applying it
God bless
Thanks for the super prompt reply Ana… you are a life… errrr… hair saver!!! You are awesome
i used this again yesterday and i luv it!! my hair is so soft again…
i agree.it is just fab
