MATRIX Food For Soft Leave-In Avocado Hair Oil Serum — Lightweight Heat Protection, Softening Shine

MATRIX Food For Soft Hydrating Hair Oil Serum is a leave-in avocado oil serum that softens, smooths and adds shine while protecting hair from heat when used alone or as part of the Food For Soft system. This lightweight multi-use oil is formulated to restore moisture and polish dry, brittle strands without weighing hair down. Designed to work best when paired with the Food For Soft shampoo, conditioner or mask, the serum seals in hydration and helps hair feel noticeably softer and more manageable for days.

How will this oil improve my dry or brittle hair?

Can I use it with heat styling and color-treated hair?
