Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Review
There are a lot of things that can damage your hair — whether it’s bleaching it too often or overdoing the heat treatments. But while some types of damage are irreversible (and best left to the pros at the salon), there are many ways you can make your strands look and feel healthier. In particular, the right haircare routine can noticeably improve your tresses if you use products that strengthen your strands from within. That’s where Redken’s Acidic Bonding Concentrate comes in: It’s a line-up of shampoo, conditioner, intensive repair treatment, and leave-in treatment that focuses on strengthening your strands so they feel stronger and more resilient.
The product is a sulfate-free bonding concentrate and is the brand’s most concentrated all-in-one care formula for strength repair on all types of damaged hair. The shampoo is formulated with Citric Acid, which strengthens weakened bonds in the hair to improve the strength of the strands. It’s also sulfate-free, so it can be used on color-treated hair and helps protect against color fade.
For those looking to take their haircare routine a step further, there’s also the Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Intensive Pre-Treatment, which you can apply as a pre-shampoo treatment before you lather up with your usual shampoo. It’s also a great product to use on fine hair, as it will help prevent frizz and leave your strands feeling soft, smooth, and healthier-looking.
As for the rest of the line, Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Conditioner is a rich formula that helps to intensely condition and repair your hair, leaving it softer, smoother, and more resilient than ever. It’s infused with Citric Acid and the same Concentrated Bonding Care Complex that’s found in the Intensive Pre-Treatment, so you can expect the same results.
The hydrating formula is also made with a blend of Shear Magique ingredients, including ceramides and avocado oil, to keep your strands healthy, moisturized, and strong. The conditioner is sulfate-free, so you can use it on color-treated hair and it doesn’t cause any build-up or dullness. The product is suitable for all hair types and textures, but it’s especially good for those with dry or fine strands that can often feel weak and fragile. The lightweight formula is easy to rinse out and won’t weigh your strands down, which is always a bonus! For even more nourishing, soft, and smooth strands, you can finish off your haircare routine with the Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-In Treatment, which is a leave-in treatment that can be applied as a finishing serum to give your strands extra protection and shine. It’s infused with Vitamin E, which protects against environmental aggressors and enhances the appearance of your strands. Plus, it’s sulfate-free and Paraben-free, which means you can use it on color-treated hair without worrying about any build-up or damage to your strands.
