Redken Acidic Color Gloss Conditioner — Vegan pH-Balanced Gloss for Color-Treated Hair

Redken Acidic Color Gloss Conditioner is a pH-balanced, sulfate-free glossing conditioner that seals the cuticle to boost shine and help prolong salon color vibrancy.

This conditioner is formulated specifically for color-treated and dull hair to deliver instant conditioning, intensified shine, and smoother-looking strands without sulfates. Built to work as part of the Acidic Color Gloss system, it targets the hair surface to lock in color pigments and give hair a glass-like finish. The vegan-friendly formula uses acidic pH technology to compress the cuticle, which helps reflect more light and improve manageability between salon visits.

How does this conditioner help preserve salon color?

The acidic pH in the formula helps bring the hair cuticle into a tighter position, which reduces pigment escape and preserves color saturation. When used with Acidic Color Gloss Shampoo and complementary treatments, it contributes to longer-lasting vibrancy for color, glosses, and toners.

• pH-balanced formula designed to compress the cuticle
• Sulfate-free surfactants that minimize stripping of color molecules
• Works within the Acidic Color Gloss system for cumulative color protection
• Helps maintain salon-fresh tone between appointments

What visible improvements can I expect in hair shine and texture?

The conditioner delivers immediate slip and a smoother surface, which increases light reflection and noticeable gloss. Regular use within the system is associated with marked improvements in shine and a smoother feel, making hair easier to style and less prone to frizz.

• Instant conditioning for detangling and softness
• Seals the cuticle to enhance gloss and reduce roughness
• Leaves hair looking hydrated and salon-polished
• Compatible with heat styling and other Redken finishes

How should I use this with other products for best results?

For optimal outcome, pair the conditioner with Acidic Color Gloss Shampoo and the Glass Gloss Treatment or Heat Protection Spray. Apply after shampooing, leave in briefly to allow the formula to smooth the cuticle, then rinse; use weekly treatments as needed for added sheen.

• Use after Acidic Color Gloss Shampoo for full system benefits
• Leave on for the recommended time to maximize cuticle sealing
• Follow with Glass Gloss Treatment for extra luminous finish
• Use Heat Protection Spray before styling to preserve gloss

Is this safe for all types of color-treated hair?

The conditioner is designed to be gentle on a range of color services—including permanent color, glosses, and toners—while helping to maintain vibrancy and shine. Its sulfate-free, pH-focused formulation is intended to be compatible with most color-treated hair; always patch-test or consult your colorist for custom routines.

• Formulated for permanent color, glosses, and toners
• Sulfate-free to reduce unnecessary color stripping
• Vegan formulation without animal-derived ingredients
• Safe to include in regular color maintenance regimens
