Matrix Sleek.look Smoothing Shampoo

Average member rating of 7.8
Average member rating
Rated a 5.5
The first in Matrix's four steps to straight hair, this sweet-smelling shampoo tries its best to address the frizz-frustration of the coarse-haired. But you really need to use all four products to notice the shampoo's claimed benefits. We'll grant that it decreases volume and bushiness, so it's easier to tame hair with a blow-dryer or flatiron. Plus, the smoothers are lightweight enough to last a few days, which eases the pain of the moderate price tag.

    You've got to try this!

    by Maryrigby (3 reviews)
    I love this shampoo and the entire sleek look line(orange bottle). I have very wavy hair and really like it straighter and this is a product that works for me. My stylist recommended it and I've used it for almost two years. It's great - try it! December 6, 2007, 7:35 pm

November 12, 2007, 3:22 pm I've used this smoothing shampoo for quite awhile. I'm fairly satisfied with my hair, but I do need to use a conditioner and detangler after using this product. My hair is naturally dark brown, but I have heavy bleach highlights. I like the more natural scent as opposed to strong perfume smell. I will stick with this shampoo unless someone recommends another that I decide to try or a stylist uses another on my hair that I prefer. If you need smoothing, you'll be CONTENT using this shampoo.

    Love it

    by tahoesuz (7 reviews)
    I use this shampoo although I have fine,straight hair to begin with. I not only love the way it makes your hair smell, it also tames any frizzies I get while blow drying. It also leaves my hair with more volumne than I normally have. May 19, 2008, 1:59 am

    I even use on bleached hair

    by pogosthecat (5 reviews)
    You defiately have to use conditioner to go along with the shampoo, but has worked great for me. I have Bleach blond hair and my hair is still really soft. I also straighten my hair and it helps to make the many many curls I have relax some so that even if I decide not to straighten my hair for a day the curls look better. May 16, 2008, 10:02 am

    Yuck

    by gapeachblush (15 reviews)
    I used this product for a while and my hair got so stiff and dry. I hate it because it was pricy for that size bottle. The only thing good about it was that I could go two days without my hair getting oily. B/c it was dry as crap. May 2, 2008, 9:31 pm

    Not Worth It

    by blester (12 reviews)
    I've used this product with all the others in this line and found that it doesn't moisturize enough. Hair is still frizzy. Neutrogena Triple Moisture shampoo works better with the other Matrix products in this line. December 11, 2007, 6:00 am

    trust the orange bottle!

    by rknrepubgirl (9 reviews)
    i LOVE this shampoo! my hair is very thick and can get frizzy, and this stuff straightens it and weighs it down enough so that it doesn't get too poofy. it also feels amazingly soft, and smells delicious! works even better when you use the conditioner with it. September 17, 2008, 11:57 am

    A Very Good Shampoo

Combined with the conditioner, you'll see more results. September 8, 2008, 6:07 pm
