The Science of Redken: Protein, Moisture & Acidic pH

Founded in New York City by actress Paula Kent and chemist Jheri Redding in 1960, Redken revolutionized professional salon care by introducing a scientifically proven principle: Protein + Moisture + Acidic pH = Healthy Hair. Human hair fibers naturally function at an acidic pH between 4.5 and 5.5. Chemical lightening, coloring, environmental mineral buildup, and alkaline cleansing swell the hair cuticle and deplete keratin proteins, causing porosity, brittleness, and breakage.

Redken's targeted delivery systems penetrate deep into the cortex to reinforce internal bonds, seal down the outer cuticle, and lock in vital lipids. Every regimen is calibrated to rebalance hair pH, maximizing light reflection, color retention, and structural resilience.

Acidic Bonding Concentrate (ABC) & Acidic Bonding Curls

Designed for heavily lightened, chemically treated, or heat-fatigued strands. Powered by concentrated Citric Acid and Redken's Bonding Care Complex, ABC reinforces weakened hydrogen bonds inside the cortex, delivering up to 56% less breakage and long-lasting strength. For curly and coily textures, Acidic Bonding Curls provides the same molecular bond reinforcement in a lightweight, silicone-free formula.

All Soft & All Soft Mega Curls

The salon gold standard for dry, brittle, and unmanageable textures. Formulated with argan oil and Redken's exclusive Moisture Complex, the All Soft regimen delivers 15x more conditioning, restoring supple movement, softness, and radiant shine. For extremely dry or coarse curls, All Soft Mega Curls provides concentrated nourishment with aloe and inca inchi oil.

Extreme & Extreme Length

Formulated with fortifying amino acids, ceramides, and Biotin, the Extreme line repairs mechanical damage, split ends, and snapping. Extreme Anti-Snap provides leave-in heat and friction defense, while Extreme Length protects against breakage so your hair can reach its full growth potential.

Acidic Color Gloss & Color Extend

Acidic Color Gloss is Redken's latest color-preservation breakthrough. Formulated at an ultra-acidic pH 4.5-5.5 with apricot oil, it provides molecular-level glass shine and extends salon toner vibrancy for up to 32 washes. Color Extend Magnetics offers sulfate-free protection for all color tones, while Color Extend Blondage utilizes deep purple pigments to banish brassy warmth in blonde and silver hair.

Volume Injection & Frizz Dismiss

Volume Injection combines redken filloxane and bodifying polymers to inject instant root lift and lightweight volume into fine, limp hair without stiffness. For frizzy, unmanageable strands in humid weather, Frizz Dismiss delivers gentle, Babassu oil-powered smoothing that tames flyaways and seals out moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Redken shampoo is best for dry, brittle hair?

If your hair is dry, brittle, or lacks shine, the Redken All Soft Shampoo and Conditioner regimen is recommended. Powered by argan oil, it deeply replenishes hydration and restores touchable softness. For coarse, tight curls requiring deeper nourishment, All Soft Mega Curls delivers concentrated moisture.

What is the difference between Redken Extreme and Acidic Bonding Concentrate?

Redken Extreme is a protein-based repair line specifically formulated to rebuild physical tensile strength in hair suffering from mechanical snapping and split ends. Acidic Bonding Concentrate (ABC) is an advanced bond-repair and pH-balancing system that works at the molecular level using concentrated Citric Acid, making it the ideal choice for hair damaged by high-lift bleach, permanent color, chemical relaxers, or repeated heat styling.

How often should I use Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate?

The Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo and Conditioner are gentle enough for regular wash-day use. The Acidic Bonding Concentrate Intensive Treatment (pre-shampoo) and 5-Minute Liquid Mask are recommended 1 to 2 times weekly depending on porosity and degree of damage.

Is Redken shampoo sulfate-free?

Redken offers both classic deep-cleansing formulas and dedicated sulfate-free collections. Regimens such as Acidic Color Gloss, Color Extend Magnetics, and Acidic Bonding Curls are completely sulfate-free to protect delicate hair color and natural moisture barriers.
