REDKENBonding Conditioner for Damaged Hair RepairCradle to Cradle CertifiedCradle to Cradle CertifiedCradle to Cradle Certified

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.

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.

(This is a copy and paste from previous review because it’s a regimen of three of these products {this being one} to see you hair shinier than you have probably seen since childhood or have only seen on people/models on TV, regardless this is one of the 3 things I use to get awesome shiny, soft and stronger hair) SO… Living in the country, not the city, means well water and some places no water softener. Unfortunately, this leaves hair brassy, dull, frizzy & what I call why bother hair!!. I used the complete line starting with the 1st one, when working this regimen, start with ACIDIC BONDING CONCENTRATE INTENSIVE TREATMENT (leave in hair for 5 mins in the shower) then wash hair with the ACIDIC BONDING CONCENTRATE SHAMPOO, next use the ACIDIC BONDING CONCENTRATE CONDITIONER. THATS IT, THATS ALL, NOTHING ELSE NEEDED IN HAIR AFTER THAT! No need for leave in conditioner on most hair. I personally straighten my hair after this washing hair regimen. The first time I used this, I couldn’t believe I was looking in the mirror at my hair. For real, I was checking myself out all day, next day too! My hair looked shinier than whenever I got out of the salon. It’s CRAZY INCREDIBLE, the shininess was outstanding & I never thought I would ever see my hair shine like it does with this, like when I was growing up in the city! If they gave all girls with dull hair a sample of this regimen, DARN their sales would sky rocket. It’s for real pricy tho, but you don’t need to use this daily, use once a week or for some use once every 2 weeks, you will be astounded at the very noticeable results on your very first try. I know I sound like I’m trying to sell this stuff, which I’m not, it’s just that I have tried toooo toooo many products & asked so many different hair stylist about what I could do to get that shine back and they always had only 1 or 2 products that they carried which I suppose they were obligated to try and sell. Anyway, I really felt like my shine was a thing of the past. Now, I just feel obligated to spread the word to all but especially to those of us that live in the country & who are always on the hunt, always trying tons of different products, (which become a waste) being able to just look in the mirror once again & see shiny hair, & feel damn good @ both the look & the feel of healthy shiny and envious hair, giving us a lil pep in our step. LMBO @ myself, I do sound like a sales person but I’m not. This is strictly a late, but massively honest review, I don’t work for anyone, I don’t get anything for free & I don’t even get free samples, tho honestly, I totally wish I did!!!

Worked very well to make my hair manageable and smooth. I only needed a small amount. I do think the product is overpriced, so I will only use on days that really "matter"

I’ve only used this 3 times but holy cow!!! My fried hair was instantly softer after using the shampoo, conditioner and the leave in conditioner. Expensive yes, but it’s been worth it so far. My poor hair is fried from being blonde but I can instantly feel a difference with this product. Some people say the smell is overwhelming, but I don’t think so. I’ll keep buying this!

Love yourself enough to try it. I read the reviews and opted for the smaller sizes to b sure I liked it. It’s fabulous. I love the citrusy smell and the conditioner is so wonderful at detangling your hair. I will continue to buy this!!
