Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate!

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Intensive Treatment totally free from BzzAgent for trying out at home and providing my honest reviews in return. This amazing mirror gives me the most compact convenience ever as it easily fits on my laptop and on my smartphone as well as it's sturdy mount doesn't slip or scratch which is a great feature. This bonding concentrate intensive treatment repairs hair strength against damage, protects against color fade, conditions hair, reinforces weakened bonds in hair to improve strength and resiliency as well as its pH balancing formula defends against the negative effects of hair coloring and heat tools and it made my hair so much smoother, stronger as well as conditioned and reduced my hair breakage. I have already recommended the Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Intensive Treatment to many of my friends and family and several of them have already purchased and used this awesome Bonding Concentrate Intensive Treatment and each one of them is absolutely happy to see the results, and they love their hair after they have used this treatment.

Yes, I recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These products are everything! I spent 2 years severely depressed and as embarrassing as it is to admit I wasn't taking care of my hair..and it got severely matted..after getting better and tackling the beast my hair was broken fried and in DESPERATE need of love..these products visibly transformed my hair after just 2 uses.. The first pic, you can tell my hair is super dried pre-use..the second 2 pics are after 2 uses of these incredible products. I will absolutely continue using redken products. Thank you Influenster for the opportunity to try these and to redken for making products that make me feel a little more like me again

Magic in a bottle

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super impressed by this product .. It is better than any haircare product I have ever used . I sectioned but damp hair and applied the product by massaging it in each section so that all the strands are well coated ..I did not have the Redken acidic bonding shampoo and conditioner to follow up with as instructed on the back of the bottle but it gave me amazing results with my regularly shampoo as well . My hair was very dry and rough due to coloring and nothing was helping , this product is a savior. With the first use I could see the shine back in my hair . Not only me but my husband as well noticed that my hair looked and felt much smoother and manageable. I have used the product twice now and it just keeps improving the hair texture. I am extremely happy with this product. Surprisingly my hair color looks better after using this product .. Will surely purchase the full size bottle . I have already recommended it to my friends and family .

Yes, I recommend this product.

Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Intensive Treatm

3 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Influenster and Redken, in exchange for my honest opinion. For someone who has very damaged, dry hair I was really excited to receive this complentery. I have been using Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate 1 time a week for about 2-3 weeks now and I can honestly say I can really see a change for the better. My hair has more life than it has in a very long time. I apply this product on to damp hair and let it sit for 5-10 min and then rinse, wash, and condition my hair and then follow up with Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave In Treatment. It smells amazing and leaves my hair feeling brand new. I'm so happy with this product.

Redken intensive care

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my bzzagent product to review. It was the Redken Acidic bonding treatment. I am a big fan of Redken. I used this for a week. It was very difficult to read the bottle. The smell was mild and the cream was rich and smooth. The first day I noticed my blonde hair seemed fuller than normal. It was more manageable and my hair did feel much stronger. I have very highlighted hair and take great care of it. This gave me a little extra care after my salon visit. I probably will buy this and use once a week. I would recommend this for ALL hair types. I gave a 4 star due too I couldn't read the bottle print.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Very nourishing

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. This product is a conditioner that you apply to wet hair and leave in for 10-15 minutes. It promises results after one use. After one use I noticed my hair was much more glossy and shiny, had more bounce and I even got compliments of- did you get your hair done? When it's been 8 weeks since my last color or trim! I didn't notice a huge difference visually in my ends, but to touch my hair was much smoother. I will continue to use this product and will buy to use as a twice weekly conditioner to protect my color treated shoulder length hair.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Salon treatment at home

3 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My color treated hair needed a good treatment and this product did not disappoint. My hair is dull, dry, and lacks volume. From the first use, I noticed that this product gave my hair such radiance and shine! I also noticed my hair felt soft, and my split ends were repaired. This product is recommended to be used before you shampoo, and make sure you leave it on 5-10 minutes. I definitely recommend because this is a total hair changer!

Very nourishing and hydrating

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is amazing and made my hair very healthy and shiny. The intensive treatment was definitely my favorite and saw the most immediate results with. The leave in conditioner was good too, but I prefer my other leave-in conditioners over this one. I found the leave in conditioner was a little heavy and weighed my hair down.

Wasn't totally blown away...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok ida gave this 3 n a half stars if coulda . I say that bc I don't believe u can get the real results without the shampoo and conditioner. With that being said u apply it before shampooing then r to follow with the bonding shampoo n conditioner. I used something else this was how my hair air dried. no products other then ones given free complimentary from influenster for my honest review. I'm I'm stylist so I would say this is probably great for over processed hair.. I treat my hair with other stuff and had better results so I can say it made it shineyer but not much softer but that was one use I'll update if it changes. P.s. my kitten loved the box to sleep in I couldn't help but add that in thr.

Works Great

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I definitely noticed a difference in my hair. It looks hydrated and healthy. There is considerably more shine and the ends look much healthier. I color and chemically straighten my hair so I need a good deep conditioner. I highly recommend this product for all hair types but especially those with dry damaged hair.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Helps fine, dry hair

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have fine hair that is dried out, tangles easy, and has a lot of split ends due to coloring. My ends look better and my hair feels smoother and stronger after using this treatment. I would recommend to anyone with similar hair issues. I like how quick it was to use. It has a pleasant smell and it did not cause any issues for my sensitive skin. I left on for the full ten minutes (instructions say 5-10 minutes) and then shampooed and conditioned. My hair looks great and seems less prone to tangles. I look forward to seeing if it protects against color fade longer term as an additional benefit too. I have used a more expensive product of this type and feel like the Redken gave a very similar result.

Yes, I recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate seemed to work well for smoothing and softening my hair. I did not notice that much difference over all visually but it was enough to feel. I think as I use it more, the more I will see and feel a difference.

Your Gonna Love It!

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate 14% for free from Bzz Agent and was asked to give an honest review. I was only given the bonding concentrate not the shampoo or conditioner that's part of this line. I used my own (Wella Brilliance) shampoo and conditioner. The directions say to dampen hair, then apply Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate and leave on hair for 5-10m, rinse then shampoo and condition. I applied the product and covered my hair with a shower cap and waited 10m since I color my hair very frequently, I wanted the maximum amount of time. The product is thick, smells great and is easy to apply. I saturated my hair with it and made sure to put more emphasis on the ends. After the 10m was up I rinsed my hair and shampooed and conditioned and towel dried my hair. After 15m of my hair air drying I blow dried it using no additional hair products. My hair seems very soft, manageable and dried very quickly. I can run my fingers throw it without hitting any tangles. I would recommend this product to anywho who does a lot of chemical processes an/or uses a lot of heat styling tools on their hair daily. I am attaching pictures of before/during/ after.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Good product

3 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. After using it several times, I have some thoughts: It’s good. I feel like this is a product that you’d really benefit from using the entire line. Having only the concentrate and the leave in treatment, i didn’t get the full effect. That being said, my hair is heavily damaged and I did not expect miracles, but this did a nice job of softening my crunchy ends. The fragrance is nice…it’s familiar and nostalgic but I can’t pinpoint where I know it from. While this isn’t going to replace my holy grail hair repair products, I definitely think it’s worth the price point and a good alternative to pricier products.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The acidic bonding concentrate intensive shampoo has given great results. I have been using it with the acidic bonding leave in treatment for a couple of weeks. My hair tends to be on the dry side with stray frizz. My hair is less frizzy and softer and in better condition. I love the scent, it’s hard to describe but it smells like a high end shampoo should. I definitely prefer it to my usual haircare items and would love to buy the whole line to get the full experience. I highly recommend this! Try it you won’t regret it! Thank you influenster and Redkin. I received this complimentary for an honest review.

Unbelievable! Made my hair look so much better.

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have really damaged my hair. I went bright purple for a while and my stylist and I both have bleached my hair multiple times. I have an area that is so damaged it doesn't want to hold color anymore. I've went back to a more normal color but my hair hasn't been the same until I tried the bonding concentrate! To be honest I did not expect it to do much. The first time I used it, I only put it on the most damaged part and I was shocked that it looked so much healthier. The second time I put it all over and my hair has been way less frizzy! I will definitely be purchasing this when the bottle I have runs out.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Great for Color

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Intensive Treatment is great at keeping colored hair the correct tone. My hair color even looked BETTER after using the concentrate! That is the most important of a conditioner for those with colored and/or bleached hair. It is thick and stays put while you wait for it to work. My hair felt so much softer after using the concentrate. It is a small bottle but a little goes a long way since it is very thick. I recommend storing the bottle upside down to be able to get the product out easily. The smaller bottle also makes it easy to take while traveling.

Yes, I recommend this product.

The changes are subtle but I do think my hair looks less frizzy and looks more shiny than before I tried the Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Intensive Treatment. I plan to keep using the product and think this might work better if I also got the shampoo and conditioner

Saw Improvement with First Use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a pre shampoo treatment that lowers the pH of your hair to prevent damage. My hair was very shiny and full even with one use. The results get even better with time. It is an extra 5-10 minute step in my hair care routine but very worth it. I received this for free from Influenster and Redken in exchange for an honest review. #AcidicBondingConcentrate #Redken @redken

Perfect addition to hair routine if you have damag

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this line. I have purchased the shampoo and conditioner that goes with this as well now after trying these products. A little goes a long way, you use this on damp hair pre shampoo which is different. it’s easy to apply. I noticed how soft it makes my hair and it keeps it feeling soft even post shampoo almost like I wouldn’t need conditioner almost. The smell is great and my hair looks so much more hydrated. I went from black to platinum back to dark brown. this is just what my hair needed. Highly recommend. I got this as a sample from influenster and I will be buying more. 10/10

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Redkin Acidic Bonding Concentrate Intensive Treatment is great for repairing your hair. My hair felt so smooth and healthy after using it just one time. Using it more times only improves the effectiveness. I would imagine combining it with the shampoo and conditioner would only be a trifecta of awesomeness.

This treatment works wonders on my hair!

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Intensive Treatment for a week and LOVE the results! My hair is thick, coarse and dry and after using this treatment, my hair feels so soft, more manageable and stronger. I color my hair regularly and use heat styling products on my hair daily which adds to the dryness, brittleness and breakage in my hair. This intensive treatment does a wonderful job of protecting my hair against breakage and fortifying strands from within to keep my hair healthy. The treatment starts working in just 5 minutes and is so easy to incorporate into my routine. I would highly recommend this product!

Yes, I recommend this product.

It helps some

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found this product to be super easy to use. Application was a breeze, just one step. I let it sit for 10 minutes and then washed out. The directions say to follow up with the Acidic Bonding Shampoo and Conditioner. I wish this sample would have come as the complete kit, but since those weren't included, I used the Redken ColorExtend Shampoo and Conditioner that I already had on hand. Combing through my damp hair did seem a little easier, as did blow drying. Overall, I think it did make my hair a little healthier and more manageable, however not a great deal. Perhaps wtih the rest of the products that are recommended, I'd get better results.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Nice Product!

3 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve enjoyed using this treatment for my highlighted hair and hope it’s doing what it claims to do! I wasn’t sure how much product to use on my hair, but the consistency is similar to a lightweight conditioner. I LOVE the scent and the ease with which to use it (for extra strength and repair). However, I would’ve loved to see a recommendation or direction on the bottle for how often to use a treatment like this one. Additionally, I think that leaving the treatment on damp hair for 5-10 minutes may be pushing my realistic timeframe. Other than that, I loved getting to try this product out! I really think my hair will be better for it!

The name is odd but this works

3 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to say the "acidic bonding" language put me off initially- I was afraid it would mess up my color or the keratin treatment ... it said it was safe for colored hair so I took the plunge. I got my hair damp, put about 2 tablespoons in my slightly longer than shoulder length hair and waited about 7 minutes, rinsed it out. Washed & conditioned. I used the leave in product before I dried my hair. My hair is wavy and gets frizzy in the humidity (I live in SC where it's VErY humid). My hair became really soft, and pretty resistant to the humidity. Also - it didn't look greasy after 2 or 3 days. I keep touching its- it's really soft.

Intensive Treatment

3 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this complimentary product from Influenster and Redken in exchange for my honest review. I used this Acidic Perfecting Concentrate Intensive Treatment along with the matching shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in. This treatment is formulated with Citric Acid, which is an alpha hydroxy acid that helps reinforce weakened bonds in hair and improve its strength and resiliency. The pH balancing formula defends against the negative effects of hair coloring and heat tools and claims to leave your hair 14 times smoother and 90% more conditioned… Now as for my personal experience with this product,… I can honestly say that it TOTALLY lives up to the claims!! My hair is color treated and while I love the balayage look, it’s also left my locks drier and frizzier than ever. I used this intensive treatment on my damp hair, and left it for roughly 7 minutes before rinsing and then shampooing/conditioning as normal. I finished my shower routine, applied the Acidic Bonding Concentrate leave-in treatment and let my hair air dry. I can honestly say that this pre-shampoo Intensive Treatment has tamed my frizz and added a beautiful healthy shine to my hair, but it didn’t weigh it down at all! I noticed that with consistently using the entire range of Redken’s Acidic Bonding products, my hair looks SUPER healthy and smooth and full of body, which is a pleasant change from its usual damaged flat look! I am happy to recommend this Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Intensive Treatment and the rest of the products in this line!

Damaged my hair

2 years ago
It fried my hair gave me a color chemical burn. My hair has never gotten damaged from using shades eq this was my 1st time using shades eq plus bonder . My hair strand elasticity strength is weak and breaks off and coils back crunchy , it feels like gum I used it as directed and I don’t have any medications and it felt horrible while I rinsed it with just water before I used my vegan shampoo It’s been a horrible experience, I’ve been using non permanent hair color for a couple years now to regrow natural healthy hair. And now my entire hair strand is damaged. I contacted redken directly and the rep was rude and kept talking about herself and how she’s a chemist and she burns her hair off and blah blah blah. Very rude I’m literally in shock .

No, I do not recommend this product.

If you use it correctly, it is magical

My stylist uses this on my hair when I get my balayage lightening. Rather than paying 80.00 for a toner application only between full services, I decided to try it at home. Mixed it exactly as was described using 2 bonder colors (9V and 10GRo), 000 crystal clear, and the processing solution. Applied to clean, dry hair and left it on for 20 minutes. May hair looks like I just left the salon. It is shiny, soft and the color is exactly what I was looking for. I realize doing a home hair color job is not always recommended and can be done incorrectly, but I followed all the directions and it came out perfect.

Yes, I recommend this product.

DREADFUL PRODUCT!!

2 years ago
I used the product a week ago. It made my hair extremely, dry, fizzy and stiff -- more like straw than hair. I to correct the situation by using deep conditioner, mask, your 25 Benefits One United in an attempt to reverse the damage/condition -- no improvement. I couldn't be more upset, worried, unhappy and at loss as to how to restore my hair to its previous state..

No, I do not recommend this product.

Crap product

I used the shades eq gloss and the gel product with it and my hair is HORRIBLE now. The color is cute but my gorgeous soft long hair is freaking straw now. I can’t even wear it down it’s so staticky. Redken ruined my hair
