REDKEN Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo, Sulphate Free for a Gentle Cleanse, Strengthens Bonds, Repairs Damage & Protects Colour Treated Hair, 300ml

Product Information

Off the bat, I noticed that this shampoo lathers quite a bit less than others, but after getting used to it, I really enjoyed how it felt on my hair. I wash my hair around three times a week (which I wish was a lower number, but with a lot of sweaty workouts, it makes it hard to go further between washes). Bond-building treatments were previously only available in professional salons at an additional cost,” explains Petty. “However, with the ongoing cost of living crisis reducing disposable income, salon visits and professional treatments have become less popular in lieu of more affordable home treatment alternatives. As an Olaplex lover but also as someone who loves to try new, innovative products, the Redken Acidic Bonding shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in treatment sounded right up my alley, promising repair to broken bonds that are a result of damaged hair. After six weeks of consistent use, I have a lot of thoughts—and might even have a replacement for my long-time haircare favorites. Here’s how it went: Video of Intensive Pre Treatment moving into frame 14% BONDING CARE COMPLEX OUR HIGHEST LEVEL OF CITRIC ACID HAIR IS 2X STRONGER* 14X SMOOTHER INCREASED RESILIENCE*** After six weeks of using these, I’ve noticed a significant difference in my hair’s health. I feel as if they’re really repairing my hair and giving it what it needs, rather than just putting a bandaid on dryness and breakage with oils or waxes.

While Olaplex uses a patented active ingredient to repair disulphide bonds inside the hair, other brands are now harnessing equally powerful molecules that penetrate further within the hair shaft to repair stressed strands, making them more resilient to damage.I’m someone who has always thrown all of my efforts into my skincare, but when it comes to hair care, I could do more. I’ve been on a journey of trying to get it into great shape, and that has included a lot of Olaplex—which I think has helped my situation quite a bit, but not in a way that makes me never want to use anything else. Redken’s new formula is acid-based, using a mild dosage of citric acid and alpha hydroxy acid. Much as it is for faces, acid is beneficial for hair too, regulating pH so that the cuticle is optimized to become shinier and softer.

BEFORE AFTER ONE USE OF ACIDIC BONDING CONCENTRATE INTENSIVE TREATMENT, SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER I got my hair colored in the middle of trying these products, which also was a huge test since my hair is usually quite dry immediately after. After my first wash post-color, I didn’t feel nearly as dry as I normally did and noticed the difference right away, since it’s something I normally dread as an after-effect of my hair appointments. They target three specific chemical bonds: disulphide (responsible for stabilising protein chains and bolstering the strength of individual hair strands); hydrogen bonds (which maintain resistance to elements such as heat and water and give your hair its texture and shape); and salt bonds (which can be prone to breakage if the hair’s pH becomes too acidic or alkaline.) The products are formulated with citric acid, which leaves it with an absolutely lovely, light citrus scent. I’m pretty sensitive to smells in my products, and this is one of my favorites I’ve come across in that it smells great but isn’t too overpowering in any way.
