Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Conditioner For Damaged Hair Repair - Strengthens and Repairs Weak and Brittle Hair

(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!!!

Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate LineYears of coloring and highlighting had absolutely wrecked my hair—dry, brittle, and straw-like with ends that looked like wisps and broke off so easily. I was desperate for something that would bring my hair back to life.Enter Redken's Acidic Bonding Treatment. Yes, it’s pricey—but it’s worth every penny. This entire line has been a total game changer for me. I start with the Pre-Treatment, then follow up with the Acidic Bonding Shampoo and Conditioner, and finish with the Leave-In Treatment. The results? Salon-quality hair at home.My hair now feels so hydrated and resilient—it can handle heat tools without snapping. The ends no longer look thin and stringy; instead, my hair looks visibly fuller, stronger, and healthier. I’ve officially made the switch to the full Redken Acidic Bonding system, and I’m never looking back.Thank you, Redken, for saving my hair!

Background: I box dye my hair occasionally (3-4x a yr) and even more rarely will I apply heat. No bleach or rough brushing, I wear a bonnet to bed 9x/10. - Nevertheless I needed to cut 12+" off of my hair to get back to the *healthy* stuff due to stress and diet.I have thick, curly hair that is always thirsty. This helped my hair within the first use and I'm obsessed!I haven't tried anything new besides this conditioner, so I know for sure this is what's made my hair change. Plus you can *feel* this conditioner work as soon as you apply it. It has great slip and melts into your hair like butter. That's not normal in my experience, even with a deep conditioner as my hair is STUBBORN. hahaI'm amazed and even like the smell. My husband says it smells like fruit loops cereal. (: I agree! The scent is nice imo and does (softly) linger for a day or two.My only complaint would be the bottle being large with a small cap. You can't turn it over to let gravity help keep the conditioner at the cap so it's easy to squeeze out. I'll have to get a pump or one of those bottle inverter thingies as it's not easy to get out when the bottle is dry,et alone wet.This conditioner is too thick for it not to come with a bottom squeeze bottle or a pump but that's all I can complain about. The product itself is miraculous and I'm so glad I gave it a chance. Seriously the first conditioner that I feel is worth every penny.Anyways, my hair was a better texture and smoother with the first use. By the second try, I had a shine to my hair again and it felt soft (which is hard to do when you have coarse hair!!) for the first time in what felt like forever.My third condition with this and my hair has a brilliant shine and my curls are more defined without the curly brush or any product. Using a bit of product and I have the hair I did as a child. Glossy spirals and ringlets mixed throughout deep S curls. I'm in my early thirties and haven't seen this hair since my teens. I'm obsessed. Literally 10/10 don't walk, run. 🩷

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"
