Best in the series
I have now been a test pilot for the Matrix color mania series for a few weeks 🤩 The red bottles are nice and stand firmly on their caps, they have a simple but good design. The first thing that struck me when using it was that they smelled really good, I have a hard time putting my finger on exactly what they smelled like, but a bit of grapefruit, fresh and not too sweet. 😍 Unfortunately, I didn't get any WOW feeling from this series, it didn't do much for my hair. Maybe it just didn't suit my hair type. I have thin, somewhat dry hair that needs more moisture and repair. I don't know if it was the leave-in spray or the other products that made my hair a bit greasy. It became very slippery on my bathroom floor 😅 A big plus is that the series, if all three products are used at the same time, provides heat protection up to 230 degrees! 🙌🏻 Fun to try! 👍🏼 #lykotestpilot #matrix #glowmania11 views - The post was made 8 hoursRating: 2 out of 5
Pretty okay series
I have now been a test pilot for the Matrix color mania series for a few weeks 🤩 The red bottles are nice and stand steadily on their caps, they have a simple but good design. The first thing that struck me when using it was that they smelled really good, I have a hard time putting my finger on exactly what they smelled like, but a bit of grapefruit, fresh and not too sweet. 😍 It's easy to wash the hair clean, at least if you don't have too many hair products in beforehand. Then I had to wash twice. The conditioner wasn't as slippery as regular conditioners often are, which I actually appreciated. It felt easy to rinse out. Unfortunately, I didn't get a WOW feeling from this series, it didn't do much for my hair. Maybe it just didn't suit my hair type. I have fine, slightly dry hair that needs more moisture and repair. I experienced that my hair became greasier than it usually does with my other shampoos and conditioners. Already the same day it could look a bit shabby. You don't want that. A big plus is that the series, if all three products are used at the same time, provides heat protection up to 230 degrees! 🙌🏻 Fun to try but maybe not for my hair. #lykotestpilot #matrix #glowmania8 views - The post was made 8 hoursRating: 2 out of 5

Fresh series
I had the honor of being a tester for Matrix's new series Glow Mania with shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in spray. The first impression was a very fresh but distinct citrus scent, I thought it was almost too much at first. Otherwise, I like sweet and "soft" scents in hair care. But after using the series for a while, I like it more and more. When you massage the shampoo in, it feels cooling on the scalp, which is very nice. However, it doesn't feel like the hair gets as clean as I would have liked, I experience that the hair gets greasy pretty quickly again - but I guess it's individual how the hair is. The conditioner is smooth and light and also has a very fresh scent. The hair feels lively, very light, and has gotten a nice shine! The leave-in spray makes the hair easy to comb out and makes the hair soft and silky, not to mention the shine - wow! 🤩 The pictures have slightly different lighting, the first is before I tested the products - I still think I see a difference in that the hair is more lively afterwards! All in all, very satisfied! Good job Matrix! #lykotestpilot #matrix #glowmania1 product in post Fresh series92 views - The post was made 2 daysRating: 3 out of 5
Did not live up to expectations!!
As #lykotestpilot, I have tested this leave-in for a few weeks. My hair is colored, thick but with fine strands, a scalp that quickly gets oily, and ends that are a bit damaged. The spray function of the packaging is convenient and the scent is fresh and just strong enough 🍋 Ohhh, I had higher expectations for this! I like that it makes my hair soft and easy to comb. It feels like the heat protection is doing its job since I didn’t notice extra wear after blow-drying or styling 🔥 BUT I don’t see any extra shine effect, which I really hoped for! + Makes hair soft and easy to comb + Protects well against heat and styling - Did not provide the promised shine or extra luster A good alternative for softness and protection, but really lacks that wow-glow. Solid 3/5 🌟 #lykotestpilot #matrix59 views - The post was made 2 daysRating: 3 out of 5
Totally okay!!
I have as #lykotestpilot tested Glow Mania Color Protecting Conditioner! My hair is colored, thick with fine strands, a scalp that quickly gets oily, and ends that are a bit worn. The conditioner has a fresh, light scent. The consistency is creamy without feeling heavy, which I like🧴💛 After rinsing, my hair felt smooth and easy to comb through. It doesn't weigh the hair down, but for my slightly worn ends, I would have wished for more care and nourishment. The shine that the product promises was absent; the hair looked nice but not really glowing. Still, I think the conditioner made the hair easy to manage and the color has stayed even and nice. 💗 Easy to comb out, doesn't weigh down, color stays nice💫 Could provide more care, missing extra shine, hair feels a bit lifeless quickly A good everyday conditioner that makes hair soft and light, but not really with that “wow” feeling. A solid middle rating of 3/5 #lykotestpilot #matrix83 views - The post was made 2 daysRating: 2 out of 5
Did not suit my hair
I have tested the shampoo from the Matrix Glow Mania series for a few weeks as #lykotestpilot ✨ My hair is colored, quite thick but with fine strands, a scalp that quickly gets oily, and ends that are a bit worn. The packaging is nice and the scent is super fresh!🍋 Unfortunately, I found that the shampoo did not clean enough for my hair type, my hair didn't feel quite as clean as I wish after a shower (which is very important for me) and already after a few days it felt greasy again. However, my hair color has held up really well. I did miss the promised “diamond shine”✨, maybe a bit more shine, but nothing wow! ✨ Smells fresh and keeps the color well⚡️ Does not clean enough, no wow effect on the shine The rating lands at 2/5, mainly because the cleaning was not sufficient for my hair type and I expected more glow and life in my hair. #lykotestpilot #matrix1 product in post Did not suit my hair90 views - The post was made 2 daysRating: 5 out of 5
Shampoo
I got to test the Matrix Glow series with shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in for a few weeks – and wow! ✨ The shampoo lathers easily, and my hair feels smooth right after washing, which I rarely experience otherwise. The scent is super fresh with a hint of lemon 🍋 The shampoo isn’t too strong in scent or for the hair, which feels pretty good if you have a sensitive scalp. After a few uses, my hair feels softer, shinier, and much easier to detangle. A thousand thanks to Lyko for the opportunity to test this fantastic series ❤️ #lykotestpilot #matrix1 product in post Shampoo98 views - The post was made 2 daysRating: 5 out of 5
Leave in conditioner
I got to test the Matrix Glow series with shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in for a few weeks – and wow! ✨ Leave in conditioner is not so thick in consistency but feels quite fresh. The scent is super fresh with a hint of lemon 🍋 After a few uses, my hair feels softer, shinier, and much easier to detangle. A thousand thanks to Lyko for the opportunity to test this amazing series ❤️ #lykotestpilot #matrix79 views - The post was made 2 daysRating: 3 out of 5
Glow mania, Shampoo
I had the chance to be a test pilot for Matrix glow mania. For me, the product was quite good, but there are better ones. Pros 🩷 The hair feels both shinier and softer after use. 🩷 The scent held very well. 🩷 My hair felt healthier. Cons 👎🏼 I experienced that my hair felt “greasy” faster than usual. 👎🏼 However, the hair is lifeless. #lykotestpilot #matrix1 product in post Glow mania, Shampoo92 views - The post was made 2 daysRating: 4 out of 5
Matrix, glow matrix. Conditioner
I had the chance to be a test pilot for Matrix glow mania conditioner. The product lived up to my expectations. Pros 🩷 My hair felt fresh and soft after use. 🩷 Good scent that lasted long, the scent is very fresh and summery. Cons 👎🏼 My hair felt greasy again quickly. #lykotestpilot #matrix76 views - The post was made 1 weekRating: 2 out of 5
Buy MC instead
I had the opportunity to be #lykotestpilot for a few weeks for #matrix Glow Mania. I have porous, colored, and bleached hair that needs extra love before blow-drying. I didn’t think this was a wow product since Matrix has better leave-ins that I describe further down! Leave in: ✅Heat protection 230°C ✅Smells good, like Earl Grey tea approximately 🆗Hair can feel a bit greasy 🆗Pretty expensive but a totally okay economical product ❌Not much shine ❌I have tested both this “Glow mania leave in” and “Matrix miracle creator total results” (Lyko article 1008-264-0190) Glow mania focuses solely on shine, color retention, and heat protection up to 230°C. Miracle Creator has the same properties plus for example faster blow-drying, frizz control, moisture protection, etc. for a cheaper price (and smells better). Glow mania is also developed for use in wet hair while MC can be used in both wet and dry hair. It feels like this product is mostly developed to complement the line even though they have a better and cheaper product that does exactly the same and a bit more, therefore I would skip this leave-in and buy Matrix miracle creator (article 1008-264-0190) instead, it’s awesome🏆 I have attached a picture with MC properties💪🏼515 views - The post was made 1 weekRating: 3 out of 5
Test Pilot
I had the opportunity to be #lykotestpilot for a few weeks for #matrix Glow Mania. Conditioner ✅Reasonable price ✅Good packaging ✅Easy to detangle 🆗The hair is soft and shiny but not more than usual 🆗The conditioner smells like tea, almost like Earl Grey? It smells good in the shower, but unfortunately the shampoo smells fresh citrus and the conditioner smells like sweet tea, so after the shower, the hair has no distinct scent of anything. Separately, they smell very good but not together ❌The hair definitely becomes soft when dry, but it almost feels like the conditioner isn’t completely rinsed out and remains like a film on the hair strands Unfortunately, I haven’t had time to test the series long enough to see any difference in whether the color lasts longer or better. I will use up the products, but I unfortunately don’t think I will buy this series again.214 views - The post was made 1 weekRating: 3 out of 5
Lyko Test Pilot
I have had the opportunity to be #lykotestpilot for a few weeks for shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in conditioner in this series from #matrix. I have been thinking about buying this series myself as it sounds interesting for my bleached, colored, and frizzy hair with a normal scalp. ✅The shampoo smells fresh of citrus ✅Lathers just right ✅Reasonable price ✅Good packaging ❌Shampoo and conditioner do not smell the same ❌I have a hard time washing out, for example, hairspray, wash 2 times but don’t quite get the "squeaky clean" feeling I want, instead it feels like a lot of focus is on moisture (probably better suited for drier scalps) ❌The product promises "diamond-like shine" as well as "improved and more vibrant color shine", but I don’t see any major difference with the naked eye 🆗Since I haven’t had time to test the shampoo for a longer period, I unfortunately can’t determine if the color stays nice longer than normal. ❌Overall, I am quite disappointed with the series as Matrix has been my favorite brand in hair care for many years. The packaging, etc. maintains the same high standard as always, but the product and scent unfortunately did not deliver as I had hoped this time.1 product in post Lyko Test Pilot189 views - The post was made 1 weekRating: 4 out of 5

Perfect shine and soft curls without frizz ✨
I have curly hair that easily gets dry and frizzy, so I was super curious to try Matrix Glow Gatekeeper. Already after the first use, I noticed how my hair got a fantastic shine and felt much softer. The scent is fresh and salon-like, and the consistency is easy to work into the hair. I really like how my hair feels hydrated but still airy, and that the shine stays nice all day. The downside was that the bathroom floor got a bit slippery after using the spray. After a few uses, my hair feels healthier, shinier, and much easier to detangle. #lykotestpilot #matrix #glowmania359 views - The post was made 1 weekRating: 5 out of 5
Shiny Hair
I have curly hair that easily gets dry and frizzy, so I was super curious to try the Matrix Glow Mania Conditioner. Already after the first use, I noticed how my hair became much softer and got a really nice shine. The curls felt more moisturized and defined, without being weighed down – which is a big plus! The scent is fresh and a bit luxurious, and the consistency is just creamy enough so it's easy to distribute in the hair. I also like that it rinses out easily without leaving a heavy feeling. After a few uses, my hair feels healthier, more manageable, and looks like after a salon visit. A really lovely product that I would love to keep using! 💫 Hashtags: #lykotestpilot #matrix #matrixglowmania150 views - The post was made 1 weekRating: 5 out of 5
Shine, softness, and defined curls – wow! ✨
I have curly hair that easily gets dry and frizzy, so I was super excited to try Matrix Glow Mania! Already after the first use, I noticed that my hair had a really nice shine and felt much softer. The curls had more definition and looked healthier, without feeling heavy or greasy. I wash my hair once a week, and my hair didn’t look greasy at all in the last few days, as it sometimes can with certain shampoos 😊 I think the shampoo smells great! The scent is wonderful – fresh grapefruit scent 🍊 The packaging also feels very nice and luxurious on the bathroom shelf. After a few uses, my hair feels more moisturized and shiny, and I’ve received several compliments on how healthy it looks. A new favorite in my hair care routine! 🌸 #lykotestpilot #matrix #GLOWMANIA1 product in post Shine, softness, and defined curls – wow! ✨398 views - The post was made 1 weekRating: 4 out of 5
Fresh shampoo!
I got the chance to be a test pilot for this product line. I have medium-thick hair with fine strands. I also have a bit of a sensitive scalp that can get dry/itchy sometimes, but I didn't react badly to the shampoo. The shampoo didn't dry out my hair, but it felt like my hair got greasy pretty quickly. Gave a very nice shine to my hair just as promised. My hair feels soft & smooth in combination with the conditioner & leave-in conditioner. ✨ Smart packaging ✨ Smells good of citrus ✨ Lathers well in the hair ✨ Hair feels fresh and clean ❌ Hair gets a bit flat and no volume The shampoo worked well and delivered what it promised, but it's not a new super favorite. I could consider buying it again if I use it in combination with a good volumizing product. #lykotestpilot #matrix1 product in post Fresh shampoo!168 views - The post was made 1 weekRating: 3 out of 5
Gave beautiful shiny lengths but strange scent
I had the chance to be a test pilot for this product line. The first impression was the smart packaging. The scent has notes of grapefruit & a little Earl Grey tea, so it smells fresh but is not a favorite of mine. The conditioner makes the hair soft, smooth & shiny just as promised. I have medium-thick hair with fine strands that easily get tangled/frizzy. This conditioner made it easy to brush through & gave beautiful shiny lengths. However, the hair became a bit flat, so I needed to combine it with some volumizing product. #lykotestpilot #matrix120 views - The post was made 1 weekRating: 4 out of 5
Valuable & gives shiny lengths
Great value pack that lasts a long time. Not as thick in consistency as many similar products. The spray distributes nicely in the hair. Smells fresh of citrus, but has a hint of Earl Grey tea which unfortunately isn't a favorite of mine. The product absolutely lives up to what is promised, the hair becomes silky and shiny ✨ Works well to apply on both damp & dry hair. Leaves no sticky residue on the hair. A big plus that it also works as heat protection. Normally, I would use a bit of hair oil on the ends/lengths after washing. But that's not needed now, the hair becomes soft and rehydrated by this spray instead. If it weren't for the scent, I would definitely have bought this several times. #lykotestpilot #matrix127 views - The post was made 1 weekRating: 5 out of 5
A new favorite 😻
As a test pilot, I have now used Matrix Glow Mania Glow Gatekeeper Glow Sealing Leave In Conditioner after every wash on towel-dried hair for a couple of weeks, and this is my impression after repeated uses. 🫧 A bit about my hair: straight and quite fine, bleached, and the lengths easily become dry. 🧡 Scent and usage Just like the shampoo and conditioner, this leave-in has a fresh and uplifting citrus scent that makes it lovely to use in the shower. The spray bottle is large and very handy, it's easy to distribute the product evenly through towel-dried hair. I use it both as a conditioning spray, nourishment, and heat protection before I blow-dry my hair, and it really does the job without weighing my hair down. 🧡 Feel after washing The hair becomes very easy to detangle immediately after application. The spray makes the lengths soft and easy to style, while it feels like the hair gets a nice extra care. I immediately notice that the hair becomes shiny and looks healthier. 🧡 Color preserving and shine After use, the hair looks healthier and becomes very shiny and nice. As a bonus, it also works as heat protection up to 230°C, so I can just blow-dry my hair right after washing without needing to apply an extra heat protectant besides this, so nice! 🧡 Summary This is a product I really like and that feels like a real star in the Glow Mania series. Easy to use thanks to the spray bottle, fresh scent, heat protection, and a really nice result on the hair as it becomes shiny, easy to detangle, and more vibrant. For me, it's a definite repurchase, and I think the price feels reasonable for what you get. No downsides to complain about here. ✅ Pros: fresh citrus scent, easy spray packaging, gives shine and manageability, heat protection up to 230°C, makes hair easy to detangle. ❌ Cons: none that I can think of! #lykotestpilot #matrix138 views - The post was made 1 weekRating: 3 out of 5
3 out of 5 ⭐️
As a test pilot, I have now used Matrix Glow Mania Color Protecting Conditioner with every wash for a couple of weeks, and this is my impression after repeated uses. 🫧 Briefly about my hair: straight and quite fine, bleached, and the lengths easily become dry. 🧡 Scent and usage The conditioner has the same fresh citrus scent as the shampoo in the same series, it is nice and doesn't overpower. The consistency is just creamy enough and easy to distribute in the hair, and it feels smooth and simple to use without weighing the hair down. 🧡 Feel after washing After rinsing, I immediately notice that the hair becomes very easy to detangle. The brush glides through without any problems, and the hair feels clean and airy. However, I do not experience any particular softness, nourishment, or shine that one sometimes expects from a conditioner. 🧡 Color preserving and shine Just like with the shampoo, the hair looks fresh, but I notice no clear effect on color preservation or shine. For me, with bleached lengths that easily become dry, this conditioner does not suffice as the sole care to give the hair extra nourishment or luster unfortunately. 🧡 Summary Matrix Glow Mania Color Protecting Conditioner does its job as an everyday conditioner, the hair becomes easy to detangle and feels clean and airy. But it does not provide any noticeable shine or caring effect, so for drier or more demanding hair types, it is not sufficient in my opinion. I will use it up, but it probably won't become a favorite that I buy again. ✅ Pros: fresh citrus scent, makes hair easy to brush out, does not weigh down. ❌ Cons: no extra shine or care, too light for dry lengths. #lykotestpilot #matrix122 views - The post was made 1 weekRating: 3 out of 5
A pretty okay shampoo!
As a test pilot, I have now used Matrix Glow Mania Color Protecting Shampoo at every wash for a couple of weeks, and this is my impression after repeated uses. 🫧 Briefly about my hair: straight and quite fine, bleached, and the lengths easily become dry. 🧡 Scent and usage The shampoo smells fresh and distinctly of citrus, it’s not too strong of a scent so it’s fine to use whatever body cream or perfume you want afterwards without it becoming a weird mix. The consistency is creamy, it lathers up well and is easy to distribute through the hair. It doesn’t weigh down my fine hair structure, which is a big plus. 🧡 Feel after washing After rinsing, the hair feels clean, airy, and definitely fresh. I find that the lengths don’t become particularly soft or rehydrated by the shampoo alone since my ends tend to get dry, it requires a good conditioner or a mask afterwards to get the moisture back. In that way, the shampoo does what you expect from an everyday shampoo: cleanses without making the hair frizzy. 🧡 Color preserving and shine Matrix markets the product as color preserving with ingredients like glycolic acid and rosehip oil to provide shine. After a few weeks of use, I haven’t noticed any significant difference in color preserving effect or any dramatic increase in shine. The hair looks clean and well cared for, but the wow shine that is promised is not noticeable on me. 🧡 Summary This is a good, fresh, and easy-to-use shampoo. For me with bleached hair and slightly dry lengths, it’s not enough as a standalone solution for rehydrating or providing significantly more shine. I’m happy to use up the bottle and think it’s a reasonably priced everyday shampoo, but it probably won’t become a permanent favorite in the bathroom cabinet. ✅ Pros: fresh citrus scent, nice lather, feels cleansing without weighing down. ❌ Cons: no noticeable shine effect on its own, requires supplementation for dry lengths. #lykotestpilot #matrix1 product in post A pretty okay shampoo!161 views
