Just like with electronics, hair care technology has really off. If you’ve given up on glossy hair, thinking because of your genes or “how things are,” it was just not in the cards for you? I think too many gals have just given up, judging from the multitudes of fake hair I see on tv. Thanks to Redken‘s cutting edge products, you can change your hair fortune. I was happy to be hosted to experience it!
Let’s start off with a great shampoo. Acidic Color Gloss Sulfate-Free Shampoo is scientifically proven to make your color last longer, look shinier. Seriously! It’s pearlized — great for color-treated hair — and has a bright, citrus-y scent. This is what they say about it: “This sulfate-free shampoo provides long-lasting color vibrancy for up to 32 washes* and locks in intense molecular-level shine for up to 76% shinier hair**. The acidic pH formula with amino acids and vitamin E help seal the cuticle and lock in shine to protect color from fading and dulling that may be caused by water and heat.”
Acidic Color Gloss Conditioner has a more floral scent and a rich body lotion consistency. It’s meant to work within the system to keep your hair glossy. It also is ph-balanced for long-lasting color vibrancy for up to 32 washes* and 76% shinier hair**. It intensely conditions hair and seals the cuticle to lock in molecular-level shine.
Acidic Color Gloss Activated Glass Gloss Treatment is specially formulated to give you the ability to give yourself a salon-quality gloss treatment at home. Yay! This is what they say about it: “A pH-balanced formula with Citric Acid and Apricot Oil, this pre-activated ultra-acidic formula helps seal the cuticle and locks in glass-like shine for up to 3 days and +76% shinier hair. This rinse out glossing treatment leaves hair looking and feeling revitalized.”
Acidic Color Gloss Heat Protection Leave-In Treatment is a light spray-on that you use before styling. This is what they say about it: “With an acidic pH-balanced formulas, this leave-in treatment extends salon-grade color, conditions, and provides intense, molecular-level shine.
