Biolage VOLUMEBLOOM Full-Lift Volumizer Spray ($16, Visit Matrix.com for salon locations)
Take hair to higher heights with the new and revamped Biolage volumizing spray from, which carries the bio-technology of a cotton flower. This spray adds bounce, movement, and plumps overall volume of hair by expanding fine hair textures. By multiplying inter-fiber space, the volumizing spray is able to build long-lasting volume with flexible polymers, for fullness that doesn't fall flat.
Biolage SMOOTHPROOF Serum ($16, Visit Matrix.com for salon locations)
Biolage faces the challenge of coarse frizzy hair with the new serum from their SMOOTHPROOF line. This lightweight, multifunctional serum includes three benefits (tames frizz and flyaways while adding shine) and is inspired by the water-repellent Camellia flower.
