The processing time for ColorInsider is reduced from 45 minutes to 35, and the color’s packaging and swatches include an alpha-numeric system for more precise color selection and results.

“ColorInsider is intuitive for stylists,” says Matrix Artistic Director and NAHA winning colorist Benson. “It is deep and rich where needed and light and multi-reflective where expected. Reds are vibrant and wearable; the gray coverage is 100 percent and there is a perfect balance of base and tone.” Visit matrix.com.
