Today it is all about the new Matrix Total Results Brass Off is a collection of haircare products, which has been designed for brunettes with highlights, whether it be balayage or highlights - as who hasn't quickly seen their beautiful highlights turn warm and brassy - and well, to maintain the lightened locks looking fresh, this range helps banish the brass.
The Brass Off Color Obsessed Shampoo is a purple-blue shade, and at first a little scary, and note that it is recommended that you use gloves prior to use so you don't stain your hands or nails. These coloured pigments help neutralise the orange and yellow brassy tones that occur, when the warm underlying pigments from darker brunette shades are exposed, and thereby returning the highlights to their favourable creamy tones.
I have brunette hair with highlights, so this new range is perfect for my hair - I spend not only a long time at the hair dresser getting my hair done, it also costs a substantial amount of money each time, so if there are products which can help extend the life of my hair colours, I'm all for it.
And the Brass Off Shampoo is not only super gentle on my coloured hair, but it really has helped bring my highlights back to life, making them look almost 'freshly made', and consequently making my hair look so much better too, all while leaving it soft, smooth and shiny.
This Brass Off Shampoo joins the best-seller So Silver Color Obsessed Shampoo, which is created for blonde highlighted hair. I haven't tried So Silver as it doesn't suit my brunette hair, but my hubby has been enjoying it (though also initially a little apprehensive of the colour!). He doesn't have highlighted hair, but greying, and while he (typical male!) wont admit it, I feel it has made his hair look healthier and shinier.
Both the Brass Off and the So Silver can be used a few times a week, and you first wash your hair as you usually would, and rinse out, and for best results, reapply and leave the shampoo in the hair for 3-5 minutes, before rinsing and following with conditioner or treatment. Both have gorgeous, yet subtle floral scent.
So if you have hair with highlights which don't quite look right any more, then you really should try these products, you'd be surprised at the difference they can make!

With long hair, that is coloured, and frequently heat styled, it can often be left looking stressed and dull. But lately I've been loving the new Matrix Biolage Sugar Shine Illuminating Mist.
The Matrix Biolage Sugar Shine Illuminating Mist is a part of a new hair care range, which has been inspired by skincare, to create exceptional shine with the use of sugar. Sugar is a natural humectant that prevents moisture loss and buffs away dullness, and is thus often used in for instance body scrubs.
Matrix Biolage Sugar Shine Illuminating Mist is ultra-light weight leave-in spray, providing brilliant shine while smoothing hair, controlling static and fly-aways. This multi-tasking mist is free from parabens, and also provides heat damage protection from styling tools, protecting the hair up to 230C.
The spray is super easy to use, simply shake well and then spray onto the hair and then style as usual. Ad immediately it leaves my hair looking so shiny and healthy, and it lasts all day. I love the fact that it can be used on both damp as well as dry hair, to give me hair 'new life' on the days I don't wash it, and that it gives my hair a moisture boost. I also love that it is gentle on my hair, and also can be used on my colour treated hair, without fear that it will ruin the colour. And of course I also love that that pretty girly pink bottle and the fact that it smells absolutely incredible from the infused Grapefruit, Orange, Jasmine, Sugarcane and White Musk, which gives it a beautiful sweet fruity scent that continues to linger in the hair.
I really love using this Sugar Shine Illuminating Mist as it simply leaves my hair looking so much better, and it is so quick and simply to use, so if your hair is looking a little dull, I highly recommend you try this Illuminating Mist, you won't be disappointed. Personally, I can see myself repurchasing this, as well as I am keen to try out more products from the range, which also includes shampoo, conditioner and hair scrub!

Washing my long thick hair takes a lot of time. Not just washing it, but drying it afterwards is actually what takes the longest - time I sometimes haven't got with two little toddlers running around between my legs. So I rely on a good dry shampoo, and lately I've been loving the new Waterless Clean & Full Dry Shampoo from Matrix Biolage.
This dry shampoo however, promises to go beyond simply just cleaning the hair, it also gives the hair benefits allowing it to retail its natural oils and colour. And it also helps give my thick limp hair some much needed volume.
Unlike many other dry shampoos, which often leaves my hair looking matte, and actually sometimes more dirty than I started out, or in some cases make my hair look grey, neither is the case with this Waterless Clean & Full Dry Shampoo from Matrix Biolage. It makes my hair look shiny and healthy, while absorbing that extra grease around especially the hairline and the roots. And it has the most refreshing scent thanks to containing mint leaf, which is such a natural and gorgeous scent, - and a refreshing change from often artificial and overly floral scented dry shampoo.
Also worth mentioning is that just a few squirts are needed, so the can will last you quite a while. Not the cheapest dry shampoo that I've used, but by far one of the most superior ones I've come across. Highly recommended.
