Joico Vs Matrix – The Products
The Joico K-PAK line is the most popular. They include both shampoo and conditioner for different hair treatments.The K Pak Shampoo and Conditioner is the first on the list. According to the manufacturer, it’s suitable for fine, coarse, and thick hair. Whichever hair type you have, you’ll find it blends with your hair.
The main function of this set is to repair the hair and prevent further damage if you’re experiencing hair loss. It also takes out all the grime in the hair, leaving it clean and healthy.
From my research, many of those who used this shampoo didn’t like it. It seems to not do what the manufacturer is advertising so I won’t recommend you go for this product.
The next on the list is the Joico K Pak Color Therapy Shampoo. This is a good shampoo for taking care of color-treated hair. It is enriched with Keratin Peptide, which helps in rejuvenating hair color.
The infusion of vitamins also means that it’ll assist in growing smooth, shiny hair. If you want to keep your hair color looking good for a longer time, you can try this. It’s even effective that your stylist might recommend it for your color-treated hair.
The great thing about this shampoo is that there are a lot of raving reviews and fans are going all over it. One customer even stated that their stylist recommends it, so it’s a good product to have if you maintain chemically-treated hair. Read also: Cerafill vs Nioxin.

Joico infuses much-needed moisture into the hair making it healthier, shiny and bouncy. Although there have been complaints of hair becoming oily over time so you might want to ration how often you use it.
The Biolage Shampoo is a great option for all hair types. It’s good, especially for treated hair. It also leaves hair soft and manageable.
Biolage is a fine shampoo and washes hair without stripping, effectively brightening dull hair. So for treated hair Biolage would be a better option while for dry hair Joico would do quite nicely.

The Joico shampoo has a banana taffy scent while the Biolage shampoo has a floral scent with hints of rosemary.
Price
Generally, when you’re buying shampoos, you aren’t paying a lot of money. At most, you’ll pay fifty dollars for an expensive shampoo.
When looking at different shampoos from Joico, they’re not quite expensive compared to other brands like Heads and Shoulders.
Ultimately, you can only decide how much you’re willing to pay so it’s important to look through the different items on offer until you have one that suits you.
In comparing both Matrix and Joico, I’ll say you pay a premium for Matrix. Most of their hair care shampoos and treatment line are quite expensive, compared to Joico. If you’re put off by this, your best choice is Joico.
But, you can still look at some of the different brands since you might get what you want from Matrix and not Joico.
