The main difference from other manufacturing companies is the absence of ammonia, or its low concentration. The following components are a part of Color Sync, Ultra Blond and Sokolor Beauty paints:

Considering that there is no ammonia in the paint, use paint a few shades lighter than your base color. Hair may become darker than planned.

Apply the dye to the hair with a brush or comb, first to the roots, and then along the rest of the length. The paint should be applied, not rubbed.

After that, comb your hair, evenly distributing the paint over the entire length of the curls. Place a plastic cap over your head.

After the procedure, it will be better to use conditioner to nourish and soften curls, and the color palette will be exactly what you wanted.

When working with "Color sync", "Sokolor Beauty", "Ultra Blond" hairdressers-stylists recommend the following:

1. To understand which shade suits you best, check the “Color Sync” paint on a couple of strands, and not on the entire head of hair.

Victoria Prize

Generally disagree with the previous comment! Ammonia-free is applied ONLY to clean hair. Dilute in proportions 1: 1 with an activator 2.7% (it is he who is intended for ammonia-free!) To clean, just washed (without balm!), Dry !! ! hair. Time is counted from the last application (smear). The holding time is 20 minutes. I'm talking specifically about this company, since I work for Matrix.

Leovochka

So I have not seen ammonia in the composition of paints - there is ammonium hydroxide and a bunch of other salts. the so-called ammonia is simply replaced by another similar substance, so "sparing" is a rather dubious term. If some paint contains a substance that acts more gently, then it will wash off 100% much faster than ordinary paint and with it you will not be able to make dramatic changes as you would like. And now, in fact, hairdressers recommend applying the paint to dirty hair (supposedly less damaged), it is better dry - wet when distributing the paint with a comb will be more damaged, count down the time after painting the roots, and usually distribute the rest of the length a little later (after 15-20 minutes) and hold for another 10-15 minutes. about light roots - keep as much as you did the first time (for a new paint, you can only determine empirically).

Hair glazing at home, color correction, the effect of burnt-out strands. Toning from Matrix.

Hello girls!

I want to tell you about another hair product that did not leave you indifferent and, moreover, became a favorite.

This is a series of ammonia-free cream paints Color Sync from MATRIX.

I was inspired to try Matrix colorless paint La_Sirene your feedback and, of course, the result.

I would like to say a big thank you for that.

Before that, I used quite a good paint from Wella Color Touch.

With some experience in hair care, I know roughly what to expect.

In the process of active treatment, I tried to discard all chemicals and switch to natural ones, avoiding silicones, SLS and much more.

This is a deliberate choice and marketing gimmicks have nothing to do with it.

After a little medical treatment, or rather a lot, hair, I returned to my favorite care.

And my beloved have always remained salon procedures type of lamination, keratin restoration, reconstruction and much more ...

I decided to update this list with a new procedure for me - glazing.

What are Matrix Color Sync cream paints?

From the manufacturer:

Color Sync cream paint - ammonia-free professional remedy for hair coloring from the American company Matrix. Perfect for color restoration, coloring, toning, coloring, changing the current shade. The absence of ammonia will help keep your hair healthy. They do not dry out, do not undergo harmful chemical attack. The coloring element is deposited on the surface of the hair without damaging the structure. This property allows the paint to be used quite often. Regular use of the coloring agent allows pigments to accumulate in the hair, which contributes to an even and deep color... The vitamins included in the cream paint actively take care of the hair. After the staining procedure, they look great: flawless shade, chic shine, unsurpassed softness and elasticity.

Not all paints from this series can be used often, as the manufacturer writes.

This goes for the first shade I will talk about - CLEAR (transparent).

Actually, this is the shade that will give our hair a gorgeous shine and shine.

1. Price: 126 hryvnia.

Unfortunately, due to the general rise in prices, the paint has grown from 88 hryvnia to such a wild price ... However, like the Activator, which cost 90 hryvnia, and now 126.

2. Volume: 90ml

My hair is enough for 2 times 45 ml.

3. Manufacturer: Matrix (USA) ????

And here we will figure out who is deceiving whom.

There is a lot of information on the network that the manufacturer is the United States, including on the site [link], but they send paint made in Spain.

I don't really care who the manufacturer is, but I should still be careful about the information for customers.

And I noticed this only thanks to writing a review.

4. Packing:

Well ... everything is "as I like" here. Just like in your favorite paint from Wella color touch only instructions and a tube.

Typical packaging of professional products. =)

I present my hair BEFORE glazing

What is glazing?

Glazing hair Matrix - is the coating of their surface with a special compound called glaze. It consists of a complex of ceramides, necessary to restore the hair structure, and plant-based nutrients.

Indications for the use of glazing

Glazing procedure is completely harmless for hair, on the contrary, for dry, weakened, thin hair or split ends, it will be very useful. When glazing, preparations are used that do not contain ammonia additives, they include moisturizing components and ceramides. Ceramides have the ability to penetrate damaged structure hair and straighten it. The thinnest film created along the entire length of the hair seems to seal the hair, slightly thickens it, lifts it in the root zone, and due to this, the hair looks healthy, thick and has a natural shine. If full coverage of the hair is not necessary, then only the damaged ends can be glazed.

Glazing at home

Shade CLEAR (transparent)

Glazing is colorless and colored.

I tried both, but since I started with Clear, I'll talk about it first.

I would like to note that this procedure is more protective and aesthetic than therapeutic.

But, be that as it may, it's worth it!

The process itself resembles the usual hair coloring, only halved.

You don't need to use a color stabilizer, balm, or any other product.

Shampoo, paints and activator - this is our set for this procedure.

1. Cream-paint Color Sync from Matrix shade Clear.

Volume: 90 ml

2. Shampoo for deep cleaning... I have Estel deep cleaning.

Not everyone is of the opinion that deep cleaning should be used.

But, I notice a significant difference if I wash my hair with a regular shampoo.

Firstly, with the constant use of oils and silicones (yes, sometimes I sin with this business), the hair becomes clogged and needs to be deeply cleaned.

Secondly, the color lays down more evenly, its depth is more intense and richer.

3. Oxidizing agent, also known as Matrix Color Sync Activator 2.7% V9.

Volume: 90 ml

I want to note that for this palette only this activator is used and not any other!

If you are not a super mega stylist who knows a lot about the proportions of paints, mixing them and are sure of the result, then do not risk it.

Shades of Color Sync are mixed only with activator 2.7% V9.

Extra Coverage Color Sync shades with activator 6% V9.

An activator above 6% is not used in these series.

I find 2.7% more than enough for the Clear shade.

Activator cost:

1000 ml: 115-130 hryvnia. You can buy to [link]

90 ml: 15 hryvnia (on tap in professional stores).

Mode of application:

1. Comb and wash your hair.

2. Dry with a towel

3. We mix paint and activator. Half a tube is enough for my hair, that is, 45 ml of dye and 45 ml of activator.

Mix paint and Matrix color sync activator cream in equal proportions. In the case of initial application, apply the mixture to the roots and spread over the entire length of the hair. With secondary staining, the dye should be only on the root part for the first half of the time, and then distributed over the remaining areas. For simple toning, let the product stand for 20 minutes without using additional heat. For deep toning of gray hair, the conditions are the same, only the hair should be covered with a cap. To achieve a transparent shade, Matrix color sync is mixed with an activator in a 1: 1 ratio and applied to the hair. To "dilute" too dark a tone, a transparent shade should be added to the paint you are using.

As for me, the 1: 1 ratio is quite comfortable. Especially for those girls who are confused in the calculations and do not know what 2: 3 is, for example.

Look at the type of paint and activator.

It has a really pearly hue, which does not appear immediately (after about a minute).

4. After 20-25 minutes, wash off with water.

Result:

After the paint has been washed off, due to the lack of a color stabilizer, as, for example, in Wella color touch I use one of my regular hair masks (Planet Organic "Deep Recovery", Recipes of grandmother Agafia "Yeast" to enhance growth, Protein mask for hair (highly recommend), Planeta Organica Nutritious "Aleppo").

First hair wash.

For me, the problem of "washing out" the paint does not exist after switching to lightweight shampoos. Especially beloved Siberian series Recipes of Grandmother Agafia (No. 1 on cedar propolis "Fortifying", No. 3 on burdock propolis "Against hair loss", No. 2 on birch propolis "Revitalizing" andNo. 4 on flower propolis "Volume and splendor").

The application is no different from the Clear shade.

Feels the same.

I used this shade to even out the color and smooth out the contrast of the overgrown roots.

I didn't want to become a redhead after active Clear.

For some reason, I have no doubt that if you get carried away, then 3-4 tones will lighten easily.

Result:

Subsequent coloring:

The Clear shade brightens the hair a little. Due to this, that same magical shine appears.

The second staining did not cause such enthusiasm and I think that it is not advisable to use this shade 2 times in a row. (I think the ideal application is alternation. colorless shade with colored.)

The color is very much "eaten" by the second staining. But, by the way, this is a feature of the paint itself, so it would be foolish to blame it.

One of the possibilities of a colorless shade is the effect of burnt-out strands.

For good master or just a curious layman shade CLEAR can be a great tool for a flight of fantasies.

At the first staining, I took advantage of a very useful opportunity color correction!

Not so long ago I wrote a review about budget paint Acme color Rowan , which could not satisfy with its color.

So Matrix did an excellent job with the problem. This paint added shine to hair and depth of color!

My impressions:

does not weigh hair down (compared to lamination)
Clear shade gives a more visible shine than colored paint
protects hair a little
durability for more than 1 month (I use shampoos with mild surfactants, so the paints last up to 2 months)

Product pros:

- quality

- ease of use

- possibilities of shade Clear

(Color correction, the effect of burnt strands, thinning the shade and of course glazing)

- palette of shades

Cons of the product:

- price

- availability

(Only in professional stores)

I have been using Matrix paints for more than 5 months.

Not a simple paint, without training and you can turn blue. Shade UL-A +

Hello everyone.

As an introduction, I want to warn you right away that the paint is professional, and I did not go through the training to work with it, I don’t know all the subtleties. I tried to use it by drawing an analogy with another professional paint for the hair that I am good at. The trick failed. But I will not give a bad grade. Because knowledgeable people work very well on it. Staining with it pretty frayed my nerves, and I write a review for the same amateurs, so as not to step on my rake.

So, I got the shade of the super brightening series. It is intended for dyeing natural hair blond. I chose an ashy shade. I didn't expect it to turn out to be ashy, because my hair is quite dark in color. In the language of hairdressers, they have a sixth level of tone depth. I always use colorants of cold shades, but the roots turn out to be warm, if not twisted with the help of correctors. This time I did not add any correctors (I usually use blue to neutralize the orange highlight background, which gives my 6 hue and ammonia to increase the highlight). I refused correctors, because the dye was not familiar to me, and I did not know how intense the pigments were in it, and how much it was able to lighten the hair.

Paints in a package as much as 90 grams. Quite economical. I thought it would be enough to tint the roots 2 times.

So, the base. Overgrown roots 1 cm. Further, a clarified yellowish washed-off blond of level 9. (not white, like a refrigerator) Diluted paint with oxide 9% exposure time, proportions are indicated in the instructions. It seems to be nothing complicated.

I began to feel the trick already during the exposure of the dye on my hair - they began to turn blue too much. But she drove bad thoughts away, the color of the dye on the hair usually has nothing to do with the result.

The second time the fear crept up when I went to wash it off. When I wet my hair and began to lift the dye from the scalp with my fingers, it became several times more! He smudged all over my hair, I could not wash it off for several minutes! This is the first time I come across this. What is the bottom line? All hair was dyed in a bluish-ash tone. Particularly loose hair on bangs and temples.

Nightmare. Blue was the color, it was blue! And what about the roots? Remained copper. This is the number. Dark hair made the roots visually yellower. But okay roots. And what to do with blue hair? I was shocked, tomorrow to work ...

An epic began with the washing out of what she had done. Several deep cleansing shampoo rinses had little effect on the scale of the disaster. But I remembered the red tonic. I mixed it with shampoo and lather the blue areas. It helped. The color has become neutral. Very tired. Already my head ached.

but the roots remained underexposed. I had to paint them again on the second day. You will be surprised, but I did it again with the matrix paint, which I had left from the last time, but I kept the tonic ready. Now the border of the lightened ones was already equal, and the ash did not bother me. And I again cleaned the blue with tonic.

In the photo, the hair after the second dyeing the next day. I didn’t take a picture of the blue catastrophe, I’ll have to take my word for it, or check it on my own experience Just at that moment I had no time for reviews, honestly. In life, the color was a little grayer (but the tonic did its job, the blue and ash were almost gone), but somehow it didn't work out in the photo, you can evaluate the uniformity of the color.

I have no complaints about the effect on the quality of hair, on the contrary. As soon as the paint worked on the length of the hair for a couple of minutes while rinsing, it immediately felt tactile that the structure had improved slightly.

But it remains a mystery to me how, according to the manufacturer's idea, to dye natural roots with this shade (after all, it is intended only for undyed hair), and not to stain the dyed hair, which will turn blue in an instant? Or you can paint with it, or do highlighting, glare, only completely natural hair? Then such an amount of blue pigment will justify itself and hide yellowness and copper, which will remain on insufficiently lightened hair. Because the hair is bleached with dye, not as cold and light as when bleaching and subsequent toning.

By the way, the packaging promises 5 levels of clarification. I lightened for one level by 2. I used oxide 9%, I do not think that oxide 12 would lighten much more, at least with other firms it does not work. A maximum of one tone is added to the lightening level.

But I repeat, I did not handle this paint professionally, so I myself am to blame for all my adventures, so think for yourself, decide for yourself. I will not use it anymore for now, there are more proven options.

Matrix, you are great! I messed it up: (+ PHOTO

Hello girls!

Today I dedicate my review to permanent hair dye. Matrix Socolor beauty.

Background: I wanted to get out of the nightmarish red-pink color that arose from improper staining with henna using Estel wash. By the way, I dreamed of a more golden hue. And it seems, I got it after the washes, but after consulting with the knowledgeable, I found out that the henna pigment from the hair was partially washed out and now I need to fill it in by dyeing my hair with paint. In my out-of-town town, there were no ammonia-free, sparing paints, I had to take what I had, because I was eager to dye my hair ...

Photos before painting:

So I bought a paint ... I don't know where my head was, but instead of a 0.0 shade, or, as it is also called "clear", I decided to give my hair a reddish tint, and without understanding the colors at all I took 7CG, in general, " bought a color from the palette.

About paint: The paint didn't have any super nasty smell. By the way, I am very susceptible to smells, but the paint does smell mild. Well, or so it seems to me after the vigorous smell of the wash. I bought the activator Estelevsky, 1.5%, since there was no "native" one in our professional stores.

The precautions are very clearly and clearly marked on the paint.

Also, instructions were attached to the paint:

I kept the dye on my hair for 1 hour. Mostly due to the fact that the oxide is minimal - 1.5%.

There were no difficulties with rinsing, rinsed off with warm water very carefully.

And now, my hair is wet, and I gradually enter into a state of despair - my hair again gives off redness, and has seriously darkened ... No one but me is to blame for this. The color, I can tell you, took on excellently, despite the small percentage of oxide.

Photo the next day after staining: The redness and darkened general tone of the hair is visible to the naked eye.

I decided to try to wash off the paint at home. Kefir, soda, lemon juice, alcohol, vinegar, oils were used. In general, everything that could somehow lighten them, because I didn’t raise my hand to make an acid wash (although, all of the listed products are also incredibly harmful to already killed hair). I did masks for about 3 days, because I read that this is the best time to get rid of, at least partially, the results of hair coloring.

Here's what came of it: At this stage, I decided to leave my hair alone, because I was pretty tired of being sad, I thought that someday I would wash myself out on the sly ...
