Redken Acidic Bonding Hydrating Curl Cream

1. What hair types and concerns is this cream best suited for?
This styling cream is ideal for wavy, curly and coily hair (curl patterns ~2B through 4C) that feels dry, frizzy, undefined or lacks hydration and definition.

2. What key benefits should the stylist highlight to clients?

• Up to 72 hours of curl definition and hydration.

• Approximately 81% frizz reduction vs non-conditioning shampoo.

• Heat protection up to ~450 °F (230 °C).

• Lightweight, non-greasy feel; no silicones, parabens or mineral oils.

3. How should stylists apply it in salon use?
Emulsify a small amount in palms, then apply section by section through damp hair, working from mid-lengths to ends. Style as usual (diffuser or air-dry) and for frizz or definition refresh, it can be reapplied to dry hair.

4. Can it be used on color-treated hair or with other treatments/retexts?
Yes — the formula is suitable for color-treated curls. It also pairs with other products in the curl regimen (for instance leave-ins or gels) and is part of a “define-and-hydrate” styling step.

5. Will it weigh hair down or leave residue?
No — the product is designed to give light-hold styling, enhance texture and hydration without heaviness or visible residue.

6. What makes this different from a generic curl cream?
It blends bonding-care science with curl styling: the cream is part of the bond-repair role in the curl line and leverages key ingredients like squalane & jojoba oil, plus a silicone-free formula tailored for curly/coily textures.
