Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Intensive Treatment is a pre-shampoo repair treatment that strengthens damaged hair fast.
This rich, milky formula works inside the hair fibre, using an acidic pH and bonding care complex to target weak, over-processed areas before you even shampoo. As you smooth it through, hair feels coated in a light, creamy veil that rinses clean without heaviness.
It’s ideal for hair that’s been bleached, coloured, heat-styled or feels rough and brittle from daily stress. Use it when your hair feels especially fragile, dull or prone to breakage.
After each use, hair feels softer, easier to detangle and more resilient, with a smoother surface that looks less frazzled and more polished.
How To Use Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Intensive Treatment
- Apply to wet hair before shampooing
- Squeeze out excess water so hair is damp, not dripping
- Distribute evenly from mid-lengths to ends, add to roots if needed
- Leave on for 5–10 minutes, depending on hair damage
- Rinse thoroughly, then follow with shampoo and conditioner
- Use 1–2 times per week, or before every wash for very damaged hair
