Matrix NZ | Total Results Shampoo, Conditioner & Colour Care

American Salon Colour and Care Expertise

Matrix has spent decades building trust specifically around colour services, developing formulas that work alongside a colourist's chemical process rather than as an afterthought applied once colour is already faded. The brand's Total Results range covers everyday concerns broadly, while more targeted lines address specific hair types and structural needs with the same colour-conscious formulation approach throughout.

What is in this range

Total Results covers moisture, volume, colour care and repair in accessible everyday formulas, while Biolage, Matrix's sister range within the same company, extends into naturally-inspired ingredients for a wider range of hair concerns. Styling products span everyday finishing through to strong-hold formulas suited to more structured looks.

Why Matrix remains colourist-trusted

Matrix built its reputation specifically through colour education and colourist relationships, which shows in how consistently the retail range is formulated to protect and extend the specific colour services performed in salon.

Why customers keep coming back

Customers who invest in salon colour tend to want a shampoo and conditioner genuinely built to protect that investment, and Matrix's colour-focused heritage makes it a natural fit for that ongoing need.
