Beauty Find - the Perfect Conditioner

biolagematrix.jpgEver since I cut my hair into a mod-Sassoon-esque bob, it's been a constant battle trying to get it smooth and sleek. I have a weird wave - sometimes it shows up, sometimes it hides. I also have dry, frizzy hair due to years of styling, color treatments, and low thyroid issues. In other words, my hair is a mess!

After perusing Drugstore.com looking for the answer to my prayers, I found Biolage by Matrix Ultra-Hydrating Conditioning Balm. I was already familiar with this line because I have used several of the shampoos and most recently was using the regular Hydrating Conditioning balm.

I am so glad I paid the $17.99 because I have never had such soft, shiny hair. This is a must buy. In fact, I didn't even have to use a straightener on my hair. All I used, after washing and conditioning, was Sexy Hair Power Straight before blow drying, used a flat paddle brush, and I am good to go.

But be careful. As you know, more expensive products seem to go a long way with very little product. I had to cut down to half the amount I would normally use of a cheaper conditioner because I noticed I got a bit greasy after day 2. I don't like to wash my hair every day because it is so dry.

I promise you'll love it.

I'll have to give it a try, since I do like Biolage prodcuts, right now I'm loving my leave-in conditioner from Alterna though and their blonde caviar shampoos.

PS I haven't been here in a while, I like the new look.

Hey Tara! ::waves::
Do try it, but use very little. If your hair is thin, it could weigh it down.

DebutanteClothing,

While I thank you for writing a great review about Biolage, I urge you not to encourage your esteemed readers to buy professional products from unauthorized retailers like the one your post links to. Matrix cannot guarantee the quality of products purchased outside of salons. Additionally, Good Morning America & ABC15 (KNXV-TV) news found that products purchased from unauthorized retailers can be counterfeit, contaminated and even cost more. We also don’t want your readers to miss out on a professional recommendation from their stylist. I encourage you to visit my blog, www.davidcraggs.com, to find out more about this industry wide problem called Diversion.

Thanks!

David Craggs

David,
Thank you so much for your informed comment. I didn't actually purchase my products from Drugstore.com, but I did buy them from my local drugstore. I'm curious how a company as large as Loreal cannot simply take legal action against companies who sell counterfeit products?

Such actions have been taken by designers against retailers who knowingly sell counterfeit items. Ebay.com has been sued for such practices. Couldn't you do the same?
