Redken Acidic Color Gloss Conditioner – Sulfate-Free Shine & Cuticle Seal for Color-Treated Hair (8.5 oz)

Redken Acidic Color Gloss Conditioner is a pH-balanced, sulfate-free conditioner that seals the cuticle to prolong salon color, boost gloss, and deeply condition color-treated hair.

Designed as part of Redken’s Acidic Gloss system, this conditioner targets color vibrancy and surface shine without sulfates. Its acidic formulation helps smooth the hair cuticle, lock in pigments, and create a reflective finish that complements color, glosses, and toners. Use it after the matching shampoo or with the Glass Gloss Treatment and Heat Protection Spray for best results.

How does this conditioner protect and extend hair color?

The formula’s balanced acidity helps flatten and seal the hair cuticle, reducing pigment loss from routine washing and environmental exposure. By minimizing cuticle lift, color molecules remain more stable between salon visits, helping maintain tone and brilliance.

• pH-balanced acidic formula to seal cuticle scales
• Sulfate-free base that removes less pigment during cleansing
• Works within a system (shampoo, treatment, leave-in) for cumulative color retention

What immediate effects will I see after one use?

Right after rinsing, hair looks smoother and has noticeably more shine thanks to the conditioner’s glossing agents. It also helps hair feel softer and easier to detangle, giving a salon-finished appearance without heavy buildup.

• Instant smoothing and reduced frizz
• Visible increase in surface gloss and light reflection
• Improved manageability and slip for easier styling

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

This conditioner is formulated for color-treated, glossed, and toned hair and is gentle thanks to its sulfate-free composition. It’s suitable for most color processes, including permanent color, demi-permanent glosses, and salon toners, but always patch-test if you have highly porous or chemically fragile hair.

• Formulated for permanent color, toners, and gloss services
• Sulfate-free to reduce stripping of dye molecules
• Recommended to pair with other Acidic Gloss products for best outcome

How should I incorporate it into my routine for best results?

Use after the Acidic Color Gloss Shampoo on wet hair: distribute from mid-length to ends, leave for 1–3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. For enhanced longevity, integrate the Glass Gloss Treatment weekly and apply the Heat Protection Spray before styling tools.

• Apply post-shampoo on towel-dried hair for 1–3 minutes
• Rinse well and style as usual; use treatment weekly
• Combine with heat protectant before blow-drying or ironing

Who is this for: Redken Acidic Color Gloss Conditioner is ideal for anyone with color-treated, glossed, or toned hair who wants salon-grade shine and improved color longevity without sulfates. It’s well suited to clients who regularly color their hair and prefer a lightweight, non-build-up conditioner that enhances reflectivity and smoothness while supporting a professional color-care routine.
