DO YOU HAVE TO USE THE FULL BUNDLE TOGETHER (SHAMPOO, CONDITIONER & LEAVE-IN TREATMENT)?
For the full benefits, it’s recommended to use Acidic Bonding Curls Shampoo, Conditioner, and Leave-In Treatment as a complete system.
WHY IS THERE A SUNBURN WARNING ON SOME OF THE PRODUCTS?
Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are found in several hair and skin cosmetic products, as they are known to help cleanse without stripping moisture.
The US FDA advises that all cosmetic products containing AHAs that are topically applied to the skin have the potential to increase the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight and recommends very specific usage instructions on these types of products.
Acidic Bonding Curls products are hair products that contain the AHA known as citric acid and are not intended for topical application to the skin.
However, unintentional exposure of the skin may occur during regular use and that’s why the FDA’s recommended statements are included on the packaging for your understanding and awareness.
WHY IS THERE A DIFFERENCE IN THE BONDING CARE COMPLEX STRENGTH BETWEEN ACIDIC BONDING CONCENTRATE AND ACIDIC BONDING CURLS?
Every product in the Redken ABC portfolio is specifically designed to address different hair needs.
We have carefully developed and tested multiple formulas in collaboration with our professionals.
During this process, we discovered a special connection between the formula and the bonding care concentrate. Building on this understanding, our scientists have created a product with the ideal combination of bonding care complex to achieve the desired results that both professionals and consumers appreciate.
