Rated 2 out of 5 by from Add in accelerator This product is a 1oz packet that is an add in powder to the Creme lighterer. It allows up to 5 levels of lift in 15 minutes, if put under dryer heat. I would prefer having just a basic creme and developer mixing. This system is ideal for curly or coily hair and is infused with beeswax and ceramides. This system is only for off scalp application. I would love to it to be available in on/off application.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great for Textured Guests I am always looking for a lightener that feels safe enough to use on my texture-haired guests, and I think I've found it with this product. The consistency of the actual products when mixed was thick enough to coat the hair, but thin enough to paint and penetrate through the each hair strand. Need to use on guests below a level 5 to see the lifting power, but all in all a great product for curls!

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Accelerator pack I'm not sure this is needed & probably not something I would use for every application, however, I can see the benefits if you need quick lift or if your client has stubborn hair.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Kept my curls in tack So I've been using matrix for years now, and this line is some of the best I've ever used. And I have a metric ton of curly hair. So it's hard to find something that actually works for my hair!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Impressive I've never used an accelerator before so getting to use this one made to be used on curly hair is impressive! Thank You Matrix for finally making something that caters to curls and coils! This accelerator helps to boost lightening with the cream lightener made for curls. It gave a nice boost to the lightening process without overdoing it. I'm happy I discovered this and will be adding to my arsenal whenever I have my curly gals. Great stuff I will definitely be buying.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Innovating I'm still getting familiar with this system the only thing that is a disadvantage is that you need different products. This. The cream and still developer. Although I do like the way it leaves the hair

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Way to go Matrix I love this line! The shampoo, the cowash, the mask, the cream, the gel, the oil, all of it!!! I'm in love with the scent, it's delicious and not overpowering. The results are great, moisturized and defined curls. Having curly hair myself, I have tried tons and tons of different curl products, and I am impressed. High five Matrix!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Accelerator Pack I feel this was a great addition to this product and I like the fact that it's a creamy consistency. It would be nice to see something like this added to matrix color and not just this product. It's makes processing much quicker and still yields even results.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Recommend The step 2 provides an even lift that isn't damaging to the curl. I've never used an accelerator before, but now thus is definitely going to be an addition to my color services.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Really neat! Comes in packets so it's really fresh. It's also a purple color to counteract yellow/gold. Didn't seem to work super fast but it was a steady and very even lift.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from YAS ROYALTY!!! You deserve this my curly q's! First off, I cannot speak on using just one of three products (developer, lightener and accelerator) as I only used them in conjunction with each other. That being said, THIS IS A GAME CHANGER! Pictures do not do it justice. My client went from a 2N to 6N and if she wanted to see probably could have went to 7! And the best part is there WAS NO CHANGE to her curl pattern. Will be sticking to this for my curly Clients!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this! This accelerator pack is awesome! Matrix did a great job on this product line. We've been needing a product to help keep curly hair integrity and this is it! Using this is great for time management and for clients in a rush as well. Highly recommend!!
