FAQ — Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo 7%

Q: What is this shampoo used for?
A: This shampoo is designed to cleanse while repairing — it gently removes dirt and product buildup without stripping, while simultaneously working to reconstruct and strengthen weakened hair bonds. It’s especially formulated for hair that’s been damaged by coloring, bleaching, heat styling, or other chemical services.

Q: What hair types or conditions benefit most from using it?
A: It is suitable for all hair types and textures, but delivers the most benefit on chemically-treated, color-treated, bleached, heat-damaged, or otherwise compromised hair — basically any hair that needs bond repair, strength restoration, and gentle cleansing. 

Q: What results can stylists or clients expect after using it (especially with the full ABC line)?
A: With regular use (ideally in combination with the matching conditioner and leave-in/treatment), clients can expect:

• Up to ~56 % less breakage. 

• Up to ~82 % fewer visible split ends.

• Hair that is noticeably softer, smoother, more manageable. 

• Better resilience and strength after repeated color, bleach, or thermal services. 

• Protection of hair color and reduced color-fade risk, thanks to its pH-balanced, sulfate-free, bond-repair formula. 

Q: What are the key ingredients / technology — and why do they matter?
A:

• Citric acid (an alpha-hydroxy acid) — helps to reinforce weakened internal bonds in the hair shaft, contributing to stronger, more resilient hair structure. 

• Bonding Care Complex — a concentrated system formulated to rebuild and maintain hair integrity after chemical or mechanical damage. 

• pH-balanced & sulfate-free base — ensures cleansing without stripping natural oils or damaging already fragile hair, helping maintain color longevity, manageability, and overall hair health.

Q: How should it be used for best results?
A: On wet hair, apply a suitable amount to scalp and lengths, massage gently to create a light lather, then rinse thoroughly. For optimal results and full bond repair benefits — follow with the matching Acidic Bonding Concentrate conditioner and (if available) the leave-in treatment or mask from the same line.

Q: Is it safe for color-treated, bleached, or chemically processed hair?
A: Yes — its sulfate-free, pH-balanced and bond-repairing formulation is specifically designed for hair that has undergone chemical, coloring, or thermal treatments. It helps restore integrity, prevent further damage, and maintain softness and shine. 

Q: How often can/should it be used?
A: It can be used as part of a regular washing routine — while many bond-repair treatments might over-condition, this shampoo is gentle enough for frequent use when paired properly with the full Acidic Bonding line (conditioner, etc.), especially on damaged hair needing regular maintenance.
