Use the Anti-Breakage Conditioner immediately after? You’ll notice the difference even faster. The conditioner fills damaged areas in your hair and helps reduce breakage after drying while making hair easier to style.

Hair breaks more easily when the outer layer is damaged and tiny "holes" appear in the hair fibre. Matrix Anti-Breakage Shampoo fills those gaps with plant-based proteins derived from wheat, corn, and soy. These proteins bond to the hair fibre, temporarily strengthening and smoothing it. Glycerine attracts and locks in moisture, making dry, brittle hair feel softer and less prone to snapping. The result: hair that looks healthier and breaks less when combed. A reliable product from Matrix that gives back with every wash.

Yes, the shampoo noticeably reduces hair breakage, especially when paired with the matching conditioner and Spray. Many users see less hair left on their brush after just a few washes. The plant proteins in the formula strengthen the hair fibre with every wash, making hair that’s prone to breakage from dryness and brittleness gradually stronger. Using the shampoo alone gives results, but the full system works best.

Does Matrix Instacure really prevent breakage in coloured hair? Yes. The Matrix Anti-Breakage Shampoo - 300ml is suitable for hair damaged by colouring, bleaching, or heat. The formula cleans thoroughly without further fading the colour. Note: the shampoo contains sulfates (Sodium Laureth Sulfate), which can cause colour to fade slightly faster than a sulphate-free shampoo with intense colouring. If you have heavily bleached hair and want to protect your hair bonds as well, the Matrix Unbreak My Blonde Strengthening Shampoo is a great addition, as it’s specifically developed for bleached hair.

Yes, Matrix Anti-Breakage Shampoo contains sulfates and fragrance. The cleansers are Sodium Laureth Sulfate and Coco-Betaine, which create rich foam and a deeply clean feel. If you have a sensitive scalp or are allergic to fragrance, this product might be less suitable as the formula also contains fragrance allergens like Linalool and Limonene. If you have a normal scalp and damaged hair, you’ll hardly notice this in practice.

Matrix Anti-Breakage Shampoo - 300ml is the best choice if your hair breaks due to dryness, heat, or chemical treatments but is not specifically bleached. This shampoo for damaged hair strengthens the hair fibre with plant proteins and suits almost any hair type needing extra strength.

If you have heavily bleached hair and want to protect the internal structure of your hair as well, the Matrix Unbreak My Blonde Strengthening Shampoo is a better match. It uses citric acid to restore hair bonds, specifically aiding blonde hair damaged by bleaching. To get the most from the Instacure line, pair the shampoo with the Anti-Breakage Porosity Spray for even less breakage and a smoother result.
