Every sleek blow-dry has a backstory, and it almost always begins in the shower. This is the litre-sized first chapter.

TL;DR: A shea butter smoothing shampoo from Matrix that cleanses deeply without roughing up the cuticle, so frizz-prone, unruly hair starts the day smooth and holds its nerve when the humidity climbs. Salon-size 1L, and the sensible way to buy a product you use twice a week.

Product Details and Benefits

• Anti-frizz, smoothing formula. Built specifically for rebellious, unruly hair rather than repurposed from a general cleansing range.
• Deeply cleanses and smooths. It lifts away oil, sweat and styling product while still laying the cuticle down on the way out.
• Shea butter softens as it washes. The Mega Sleek hero ingredient conditions coarse, dry lengths so hair doesn't come out of the shower squeaky and roughed up.
• Protects hair against humidity. The whole range is engineered around the one variable that ruins smooth hair fastest.
• Up to 5x smoother hair* when used as part of the full Mega Sleek system.
• Made for frizz-prone hair. Suits unruly, coarse and dry textures, and is safe for colour-treated hair.
• Designed to pair. Matrix built it to be followed by the Mega Sleek Conditioner, and the two together are where the results actually come from.
• 1L salon size. Also listed as Matrix Total Results Mega Sleek Shampoo — same range, updated branding.

How to Use

1. Apply to damp hair.
2. Lather.
3. Rinse.
4. Follow with the Mega Sleek Conditioner.
5. If it gets in your eyes, rinse them immediately.

Pro tip: Lather at the scalp and let it rinse down. Roots are where oil and product build up; ends are where dryness lives. Scrubbing the lengths directly is what roughs the cuticle up in the first place, so let the runoff handle them and save your ends for the conditioner.

Why You'll Love It

Sleek hair is a two-part job and this is part one, done properly. Add the Matrix Mega Sleek Shampoo 1L to your cart and give frizz a much shorter runway.
