Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- How does Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate compare to Olaplex? Both systems are exceptional at repairing damaged hair, but they use different technologies. Olaplex uses a single patented molecule to target disulfide bonds. Redken uses a highly concentrated Bonding Care Complex alongside Citric Acid (AHA) to strengthen weakened bonds while simultaneously rebalancing the hair's pH to seal the cuticle. Redken ABC is often favored by those who need intense moisture and softness alongside structural repair.
- Is the Redken Acidic Bonding line safe for color-treated and bleached hair? Yes, it is specifically designed for it! The entire range is sulfate-free and formulated at an acidic pH, which helps to lock the hair cuticle down. This prevents your expensive salon color from washing out and actively repairs the severe damage caused by bleaching and highlighting.
- Can I use the Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate on fine hair? Absolutely. While the formulas are highly concentrated and intensely hydrating, they are scientifically balanced to provide weightless repair. If you have very fine hair, simply ensure you thoroughly rinse the conditioner and use a slightly smaller amount of the Leave-In Treatment.
