Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Conditioner For Damaged Hair Repair - Strengthens and Repairs Weak and Brittle Hair, Sulfate-Free, With Citric Acid

My stylist recommended this. I have fine, wavy hair/ curly hair that tends to look stringy.After the first use of the shampoo & conditioner I noticed a positive difference in my curl clumps, volume and shine.Yup, it’s expensive and it’s a small bottle but it’s very concentrated, a little goes a long way. Considering that I only wash every 5 days or so I plan to use this combo every time! It’s made a huge improvement in my hair. Well worth the money. Hopefully they sell a larger more cost effective size. I would buy this stuff by the gallon! My new go to wash / condich combo. Buy it!

This Redken conditioner has worked wonders for my hair. I use it alongside the shampoo from the same line, and the results have been impressive.✅ Deep repair: I noticed from the first applications that my hair feels stronger and less brittle.✅ Ideal for color-treated hair: I have highlighted hair, and this product helps keep the color vibrant longer.✅ Rich and nourishing texture: It's creamy, easy to apply, and rinses clean without leaving a heavy residue.✅ Soft and pleasant scent: It has a clean, elegant, non-invasive scent.✅ Visible results: After a couple of weeks, my hair looks shinier, silkier, and more manageable.💡 I recommend using it alongside the Acidic Bonding Concentrate shampoo for maximum benefits. It's an excellent investment if you have hair damaged by color, heat treatment, or bleaching.

I am giving the Redken Bonding Conditioner a five-star rating, not only for its impressive claims but for the results it delivers. While its formula may not feel extraordinarily hydrating during the shower routine, it's what happens after the rinse that truly amazed me.This conditioner is clearly designed with strength repair in mind, a feature that instantly appealed to me as someone with damaged hair. The product description does justice to this aspect. It's an all-in-one formula that caters to all types of damaged hair, providing ultimate strength repair and intense conditioning. It's also sulfate-free and vegan, which is a big plus for anyone who is conscious about the ingredients in their hair care products.What I particularly love about this Redken conditioner is that it reinforces weakened bonds in your hair, and the results are immediately visible. My hair is not just soft but super soft after using it, and I've noticed a significant improvement in its texture. I also found that the product offers hair color fade protection, a bonus for those who color their hair regularly.The smell of the conditioner is pleasant, and the softness it imparts to the hair lasts long, making it worth the investment. I understand that some customers may find the value questionable, but in my experience, the noticeable change in the health of my hair makes it worth every penny.If you're considering buying this product, I'd say go for it. It might not feel like the most hydrating conditioner in the shower, but the results post-rinse are nothing short of miraculous. Your hair will thank you!

UPDATE AFTER TWO YEARS OF USE: I ultimately found this line at a reasonable price, and had been happily using it for over two years. While I hadn't noticed any kind of significant benefits from using this line, it did make my hair feel nice and appear healthier. Fast forward to now, and suddenly in January 2024, this entire line is leaving my hair greasy. Not just greasy, but GREEEAAASYYY - it will NOT rinse out in the shower regardless of how long or vigorously I rinse my hair. It's so bad that it's gross. It makes zero sense as I've been using this daily for years without any issue, but now, out of nowhere: it's turned on me. I have to use a strong clarifying shampoo to remove the greasy, oily residue this is leaving behind. (I had been attempting to rotate products to see if I could identify a single product in the line that was the culprit, but it seems they're all doing it.) And I'm not alone - other women on the social medial platform that starts with Red*** are having the exact same issue. So, what gives, Redken? I have a small but pricey stockpile of this product line that I absolutely cannot use unless I want to go put in public looking like I haven't washed my hair in six + months. HARD PASS!###My stylist turned me on to this shampoo and conditioner line by accident. I was able to purchase my first bottle of each (and the leave-in cream) at half the cost through another channel. My fine (highlighted) hair that's prone to breakage absolutely seems to love this product line. The full retail cost is incredibly prohibitive, even though the shampoo lasts me 2-3 times as long as a bottle of the conditioner (and one bottle of the conditioner lasts me about a month). Unfortunately, my hair soaks the conditioner in, so it's not like it's lasting me long enough to justify the full retail cost. Having said that, I do feel like the cost is fair if you're able to purchase it at a discounted rate. I'd definitely do some research to investigate other channels to purchase at a more economical price.I'm very picky about scents, and really had to work hard to not hate the smell of the Redken Extreme line (which is what I'd used prior to this). The Acidic Bonding line has a very gender neutral scent: it's on the lighter side, though it definitely is scented, but it fades quickly, so you don't walk around smelling like your shampoo and conditioner all day. That's a plus for me, but I don't LOVE the scent. I'd call it tolerable.Does this line do what it promises? It does, though it can get heavy on fine hair. I've tested it to see if I can skip a few days and use other product lines in between, just to save on cost. I'm pretty certain that once you've washed with something else, that's it - and the "glue" that's bonding your split ends and frayed strands is gone until you've used this for another week straight to replace it all again. A little does go a long way, but be warned if you have porous hair that loves conditioner: you'll still use less than you're used to using with other product lines, but you'll definitely go through this quicker than the shampoo. On the flip side, while I'm on my first bottle of shampoo, and third or fourth bottle of conditioner, I'm not even halfway through my first tube of the leave-in product. That makes it the most economical purchase in the line, IMO, and the one thing that I can totally justify purchasing at full retail since it's likely to last me 3-4 months.Overall, I really do like this product line, and I would be a faithful, dedicated, every-day-no-matter-what user if only the price were more reasonable. At $30 a bottle for a shampoo and conditioner, this is a luxury purchase purchase for me regardless of how much I like it, so I'm sort of forced to try to extend my time between purchases and intersperse it with other product lines - unless I can purchase in bulk at a more reasonable price.

I bought shampoo and conditioner, I am disappointed only the conditioner arrived. I used another shampoo twice then I applied the conditioner and left it for 5-7 minutes on my medium long hair and after rinsing my hair was super soft all throughout the day and night even. I didn't use heat tools to straighten it. I braided my hair and the next day I loosen it up it was still smooth. I have bleached my hair so after a month I have millions of split ends I am trying to take care of the texture before trimming it. the conditioner is a big help. I have a lot of hair, which is semi-curly and thick. right now is fluffy and soft without being curly. didn't leave any residue. and I wash my hair every 2 days. for the first day seems like a good product. but I will buy the shampoo from someone else. since the shipping is not adequate for bottles.
