I go to the salon and have my hair colored and trimmed about every 6 weeks, and this is a great shampoo for keeping my hair healthy and looking great. It smells wonderful (like fruit and coconut)and keeps my hair silky and shiny. It is very easy to rinse out, and doesnt leave a buildup on my hair.
I also use the Biolage hydrating cream for my conditioner. My salon uses Matrix color, and I think it is very important to use corresponding products all from the same product line. My hair is very long, and this shampoo helps hydrate it which makes it easier to comb out and blow dry.
I often get compliments on how healthy my hair is, and I truly believe it is due to proper maintenance and using the high quality professional products from Matrix/Biolage. It is not a cheap costing product, but the results are well worth the price.
