Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super Gentle, leaves hair feeling healthy This is a great lightener for gentle, minimal lift. I also love having the option of using heat to speed up processing to 15 min! Creamy consistency for great coverage. Not just for curly hair!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from a curly girls best friend I used this lightener on a client with extremely fragile, previously lightened hair. This is the best lightener that I have used on curls hands down. I will never use another lightener on my curly clients.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Must Have! I brought this in strictly for my curly haired clients, but have found that I also love it on my clients with very fine fragile hair or my clients with just texture and not necessarily curl. Leave the hair in great condition but still getting it very light! I will definitely be keeping it on hand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for curls I have curls and have always struggled with lightening them! This has helped maintain the integrity of my hair and achieved the lightness I was looking for!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from very nice lightning system [Employee of saloncentric] I love the curls lights not only for curly hair. It leaves the hair feeling amazing. The best part is the quick processing time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quick and even results I love that I can use heat with this lightener and hair is left feeling soft and curl pattern is not disturbed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Saving time means making more money Can I use this on all bleach clients?! Sped up my process time without damaging the hair or having to use higher developer!! Definitely a game changer. The worst part of doing a color is sitting and waiting for it to process!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great for curls This line is amazing for curls!! Loved the lift! The hair was left smooth and shiny and didn't have that post-bleach dried out look! This works better than other products I've tried for curly clients. It leaves a defined curl pattern. I would buy these products again and have already recommended to my family and friends.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So Smooth!!! This added the boost we needed, gentle enough to power through! Highly recommend the accelerator packet for stronger better lift results. I tried both ways. With and without and liked the combo better. Def easier to apply and way better lift results! Curls were still in great condition

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not sure if it's needed Would be better if it helped lighten the hair more levels. I tried the Lightner with and without and didn't notice a significant of a difference.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Curly hair goals! Matrix and the hair gods delivered us an incredible lightening system catered to CURLS and I can't be happier with the results! The lift was great (I got my dark client to a gorgeous level 8) and her curl pattern was perfectly preserved. This system is interesting as it's not your typical lightener and developer mixture, but I feel like it was gentle yet effective enough to leave me and my client happy! I would recommend to any curly girl looking for a sunkissed, natural result.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very happy with this The lightening cream was nice and creamy with accelerator. I def like how quickly and evenly it lifted. The curls felt great. Highly recommend the accelerator packet for stronger better lift results. I tried both ways. With and without and liked the combo better. Def easier to apply and way better lift results! Curls were still in great condition.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not that impressed I wasn't that impressed with whole kit to be honest unfortunately because I love matrix products
Date published: 2021-09-18
Rated 5 out of 5 by from A must with the curl lights lightener The product is to be used with the curl lights lightener and works perfectly to keep the curls hydrated and bouncy for month to come while being lightened. Most lighteners do not work well with curls because they are too drying but not curl lights. This is a great product for any ethnicity with curly hair.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great! Definitely add on to your lightener, it works well together & lifts gently! I recommend reapplying if you are looking to achieve a lighter shade.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Super thick creamy product that you add to the lightener! This line produces a nice even lift that gives a shiny smooth hilite to curls without that dry look!

Rated 2 out of 5 by from And unnecessary step Did this damage the hair? No. Was it neccessary? Also no, in my opinion. It seems like it's an extra cost and an extra step, but with no extra benefit. I might try the system without it sometime and see what the difference is. I could use a regular lightener and olaplex if I wanted to lighten curls, with less damage. So having this extra step doesnt exactly motivate me to use this line.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Step 2 Accelerator Pack I received this product free for review, I used this product on 4c curly hair. Her hair was long and thick and I had to use a lot of product just for highlights. The product had a light smell to it not strong at all. Usually my clients make comments on the smell but this was light. The product lifted very fast. I put her under the dryer for the top section for about 20 min and she lifted fast. I use a toner after to get even color and she loved her hair. I would highly recommend this product for the curly girls out there. It did not affect her curl pattern at all like some lighteners do. Curls were is great condition after using this product! I will use it again for future curly girls.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really Great! For starters, I read this product has beeswax and ceramides infused in it. This is huge because it really helps to protect your clients' hair during the lightening process. This product is mixed equal parts with the Lightening Cream and then you add your desired developer until you've reached a nice, creamy consistency. Though I don't necessarily see a need for this product as far as lightening goes, I do feel that it does its part in protecting the hair during the lightening process. So, it's a 'yes' for me!
