Today, I’m diving into a new hair care line that’s been making waves: the Matrix Food for Soft Hair range. As someone who’s always on the lookout for the perfect products for my wavy hair, I couldn’t resist giving this range a try. I was however kindly gifted this and here’s my honest take on it.
First Impressions on Matrix’s Food For Soft
The Matrix Food for Soft Hair range promises to nourish and soften hair, which sounded perfect for my often-frizzy waves. The packaging is sleek and modern, with a clean, professional look that immediately gives a sense of quality. The range is also super affordable which I love too. You can buy the shampoo, conditioner and hair oil for less than £40.

Ingredients Matter
One of the first things I look for in hair care products are the ingredients. I prefer products that are free from silicones and sulphates because they tend to be gentler on my wavy hair, allowing it to retain its natural texture and bounce. Unfortunately, the Matrix Food for Soft Hair range does contain both silicones and sulfates. While this isn’t necessarily a deal-breaker for everyone, it’s something I take into consideration when choosing products.
However what makes this shampoo and conditioner combo a big seller is the addition of hyaluronic acid and avocado oil known for smoothing and taming frizz and adding moisture to dry hair.
Personal Opinions on the Matrix Food For Soft Range
Let’s talk about the actual experience of using the products.
Shampoo: The shampoo left my hair feeling very clean—almost squeaky clean. While some people might love this super clean feeling, I found it a bit too much for my liking. My hair felt stripped of its natural oils, which is something I usually try to avoid to keep my waves looking their best. However, if you prefer that ultra-clean feeling, this shampoo might be right up your alley.
Conditioner: The conditioner was a nice follow-up to the shampoo, providing a good level of moisture and making my hair feel softer. It helped to detangle my waves, which is always a plus.

Personal Opinions
While I wasn’t the biggest fan of the shampoo due to its intense cleansing effect, my husband absolutely loved it. He has straighter hair and found that it left his hair feeling fresh. This just goes to show that hair care is incredibly personal—what works for one person might not work for another.
Final Thoughts
The Matrix Food for Soft Hair range has its pros and cons. If you’re someone who enjoys that intensely clean feeling or have very oily hair and doesn’t mind silicones and sulphates in your hair care products, this range might be a great fit for you. However, if you’re like me and prefer gentler, sulphate-free, and silicone-free options, you might want to explore other alternatives. One of my favourites is the Umberto Giannini curl Jelly range.
In the end, it’s all about finding what works best for your hair type and personal preferences. Have you tried the Matrix Food for Soft Hair range? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
