What’s the science behind Redken ABC?
What are the benefits of using Redken ABC?
“The system helps repair internal bonds, smooth the cuticle and rebalance the hair’s pH, resulting in visibly softer, healthier and shiner hair that’s protected from future damage.”, says Jimmy.
Here’s what our LF Insiders have to say straight from the HQ:
Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo and Conditioner Bundle 300ml
Redken’s ABC Shampoo and Conditioner are my hair's best friends! As a bleached blonde, they keep my locks feeling healthy, nourished, and shiny. These products have completely transformed my hair, giving me the strength and softness I crave without compromising my colour!
Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-In Treatment 150ml
If I had to choose one product to use for the rest of my life it would be this! It’s literally heaven in a bottle. I’ve been using it only for a week and it’s already made my hair silky soft. The scent is incredible, and I can smell it lingering for a few days.
Jimmy's pro tip:“This super smoothing leave-in treatment reinforced weakened hair bonds and seals split ends, while providing heat protection up to 230°C. Start with a 20 pence piece, applying to damp, towel-dried hair from the ends and working your way up to the roots.”
Acidic Bonding Concentrate 24/7 Night & Day Serum 100ml
I’ve recently coloured my hair and want to make sure I am keeping it protected, so love using this after a hair wash. As I have naturally curly hair, it’s great to tame the morning frizz and I also love the serum texture, as it doesn’t make my hair look or feel greasy when applied to dry hair.
Jimmy’s pro tip: “Although this serum is designed for overnight repair on dry mid-lengths and ends before bed, it can also be reapplied throughout the day to strengthen hair against daily aggressors. As an oil, be cautious not to apply too much.”

From a young age I’ve been immersed in the beauty industry, getting my first job at a skin clinic and staying there for almost 5 years. My love for skincare was born from the constant exposure to new French pharma skincare products, award-winning supplements and revolutionary techniques to snatch your face. My go-to look is a dewy, natural base using a tinted moisturiser, enhanced by a colourful eyeliner. The Garnier SPF50+ Face Fluid and YSL Touche Éclat Blur Primer are my holy grails.
