Redken ABC (Damaged Hair)

Redken ABC (Acidic Bonding Concentrate) Range

Redken ABC stands for Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate, and it is the Redken range built for damaged and colour-treated hair. If your hair has been lightened, coloured and heat styled until it feels dry, rough and a bit fragile, this is the range to look at. It starts with a shampoo and conditioner and builds out into treatments you can add depending on how worn out your hair is. Adore Beauty is an official stockist, and you can order the shampoo, conditioner, treatments and serum together.

Redken ABC Shampoo and Conditioner

The Redken ABC shampoo and conditioner are the base of the routine, and they are made to be used as a pair. Both come in 300ml, 500ml and 1L, with 500ml refills for each if you would rather not buy a new bottle every time. If you are trying Redken ABC for the first time, the 300ml is the easy way in, because you can see how your hair responds before committing to a bigger bottle. If your hair is long, thick or you wash it often, the litre is the better buy. Follow the directions on the pack. If you want to compare other ranges, the brand's full Redken shampoo and Redken conditioner collections are there too.

Redken ABC Treatments and Serum

After the wash, the Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate range adds the 5-Min Liquid Mask (250ml), the Intensive Treatment (150ml), a Leave-In Lotion (150ml) and the Acidic Bonding 24/7 Night & Day Serum, which is the product people usually mean when they search for a Redken ABC serum. You do not need all of them. Pick one, use it as directed for a few weeks, and see how your hair feels before you add the next. Hair that is very dry or very porous may want the mask. Hair that just needs a bit more care between washes may do fine with the leave-in. There is also an ABC bundle, and Redken's sets and gifts are worth a look if you are shopping for someone else.
