Most Helpful Positive Review Helped keep hair clean I use this shampoo every other wash. I can definitely feel my hair softer and lighter. It seems to take any residue from hair products and oils a way. My hair doesn't all of a sudden have volume. But it does feel lighter in the sense of not having all the products, oil and dirt weighing my hair down. So yes i would recommend this product. As it does leave your hair feeling nice and clean. One thing I do not like is the smell. It's not over powering and doesn't linger but it's not something you sit there smelling before you put in your hair. You also put conditioner in after so that definitely will cover up any leftover smell from the shampoo so it's not a deal breaker for me.
I would and have recommended this shampoo to several people. Especially with curly or oily hair.
Most Helpful Critical Review Removes build up I used this in combination with a scalp massager and I noticed my hair didn't seem as weighed down at the roots but I did feel like my hair felt greasy quicker than with my normal shampoo for some reason. I was my hair every 2-3 days and with this I felt I had to wash it or use dry shampoo the next day. Could be different for other people and that's just how it reacted with my hair. I didn't hate this product but I also wouldn't replace my every day shampoo with this. I would tell people to try it if they're looking for some lift and life in their hair because it does work and smell nice.

Power Wash!!! 5
Elizabethanne111 from San Leon, TX
Matrix Root Up Power Wash can only be described as a power wash for my strands. Not stripped like some clarifying washes, but thoroughly cleaned and left with softness, bounce, and shine.
Amazing for removing product build up! 5
Liz from Michigan
I am so impressed with this shampoo. I use it once a week to remove all of the product build up on my scalp and let the excess run off to clean anything on the rest of my hair as well. It's super drying in my opinion so I always follow up with a deep conditioner (I use the hydrasource conditioning balm) and after that combo my hair dries so beautifully. It's so silky it feels like I just got a fresh hair cut and it is SO shiny, my scalp feels unbelievably clean but not dry or itchy at all. Absolutely worth the price considering I only have to use it once a week.
Fell Flat 2
Rsndzlty from Orange Cove, CA
I was excited to try this product as my roots need a major lift. I was severely disappointed as I didn't notice any increase in volume in my roots. The only thing pleasant was the scent.
Great scalp cleanser! 4
Aquaboogiebeauty from Georgia
I really love the smell of the Matrix High Amplify! It seems some shampoos only focus on the hair, but this shampoo made my scalp feel very refreshed. I have braids,
which I shampoo every 2 weeks, which I did notice i had to apply a little extra moisturizer afterwards. I would buy this product and pair it with a deep conditioner,
because it did help with product buildup. I would recommend this shampoo if you use a lot of styling products.
Not what I expected 3
Jannet from North Carolina
I used this thinking that it would clean my roots but it just didn't help any. It was just like regular shampoo and didn't notice a difference. I was hoping it would remove build up that we get in our scalp but that wasn't the case.
Great for oil-prone hair! 5
Carrieo from Austin
I have very fine and thin hair. It tends to get oily at the roots even after 1 day. I use this as a once a week treatment and have noticed that my hair is visibly less oily, it feels better and I have more volume!! I don't know how it works, but it does! It has a mild, pleasant scent. Not overbearing at all. Highly recommend!!
Clean your roots! 4
peacemanor from NC
I noticed some people complained that it made their hair dry. Note that the product's instructions say to use it on the roots only. I used it on the roots only, then used regular shampoo for the rest and I used conditioner on my ends. This shampoo works perfectly. My roots tend to look oily since I live in a hot and humid climate most of the year and my hair is fine. Regular shampoo doesn't remove the build-up, so this is a great solution. I'm more likely to be able to skip washing my hair a day using this process.
Works well! 4
cbalzer0426 from Cheyenne, WY
I felt like this product really worked well. I was worried it would add weight to my hair, which tends to fall flat often, but it actually did the opposite! It helped to strip away other product that had been settling at my roots, and actually made my hair look a bit fuller. I was really skeptical that it would work but I was pleasantly surprised! I will definitely continue to keep using this.
Matrix High Amplify Wash is fantastic 4
Jenfield from Alabama
Matrix High Amplify Wash definitely washes away any unwanted build up. I can go three-four days without washing my long hair while using this. Only downside is at first it made my scalp a little itchy, but I don't notice that anymore.

Meh product 2
geenbean from jacksonville, florida
I did not see a major difference in my scalp while using this product. I feel that it produced no greater results than my average shampoo.
I like it. 4
kim from Arlington, Texas
I really, really like the smell of the High Amplify Root Up Wash. I can't stand strong smell but the smell of the High Amplify Root Up Wash is soft and nice. Also it goes well with my hair and leave my hair soft too.

Great product 4
TG from Sunnyvale, CA
Leaves your hair and scalp feeling very clean without stripping your hair. I have been using it a couple times a week and it really does work well. The only con for me is the smell. It is very perfumey which I don't like. Its bad bad enough to stop me from using it but it is less enjoyable.

Removes build up - Keeps hair light and voluminous 5
ellesbelles from Minnesota
This is not a daily shampoo! This product does a great job of removing build up from products and the environment. I use this wash once a week, focusing on the roots only and the next few days, my hair is lighter and more voluminous. This does contain sulfates, but if you use any hair product that contains silicones, you NEED to remove the build up and this once a week root wash does that without being harsh on my fine hair. It lasts a very long time since you don't need to use it that often and for its price, it's a great deal!
Scalp detox 4
Roseyak from NY
This is a great way to remove all that build up in your hair, after using I felt my hair feel so much lighter and cleaner. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the consistency of the shampoo it was too runny.
Squeeky Clean 3
Terra C from California
I got this product to test out in exchange for a review. I am not someone who uses a ton of hair products so I really don't need a cleansing product to remove excess build-up. I did spend 2 weeks using a curl/frizz control product so that I could test this out. It did the job and my hair and scalp felt cleaner after using it.
The only reason why I didn't give this product full stars is because I can't really comment on how it would work for someone who uses a ton of products and only washes their hair every few days.
Amped Up 5
Amped Up from Tennessee
I love this new shampoo. I have very thin, fine, straight hair that is always flat. Using this shampoo brought volume to my roots. It also made my hair feel soft.
Awesome Shampoo 5
THANYC from New York
This is an excellent clarifying shampoo to use when I've used too many gels and products. I feel like it melts them all out
Love this! Great product! 5
giventofly from Charlotte, NC
I wasn't sure what if I was going to like this at first, but after a few weeks, I am more than pleased. My hair is wavy, fine, thinning due to autoimmune medication, and gets greasy exceptionally easy. I wash it every other day and started incorporating this product replacing standard shampoo once a week. My hair feels cleaner, doesn't get greasy as quickly, and has more shine on the days I use it. The smell is pleasant and not overwhelming. I would recommend it.
Really works 4
AshCash from Washington, DC
So I was skeptical of a the purpose of a root cleanser, but I was so shocked it actually worked. I get a lot of build up from using a bunch of products which causes me to have to shampoo my hair multiple times. The root cleanser is an awesome first step to my wash day, it removed that layer of build up and made the rest of wash go smoother.
