Redken Acidic Color Gloss Shampoo — 1.7 fl oz Travel Size, Sulfate-Free Color Protection & High Shine

Redken Acidic Color Gloss Sulate-Free Shampoo is a pH-balanced, gentle cleanser formulated to extend salon haircolor vibrancy and deliver high-shine results for color-treated hair.

This compact 1.7 fl oz bottle contains a sulfate-free formulation designed specifically for dyed hair. Its mildly acidic pH helps smooth the cuticle while amino acids and vitamin E work together to condition strands and enhance surface shine. When used in the Acidic Color Gloss system, Redken reports extended color life across washes and visibly increased gloss when paired with the Glass Gloss Treatment.

How does this shampoo help preserve salon color between appointments?

The formula is engineered to be gentle on color by avoiding sulfates and using an acidic pH that helps close the hair cuticle. A closed cuticle reduces dye loss and surface dulling, so color looks fresher between salon visits. Ingredients like amino acids and vitamin E add lightweight conditioning to keep strands smooth.

• Acidic pH helps seal cuticle to reduce color fading
• Sulfate-free cleanse minimizes stripping of dyes
• Amino acids + vitamin E provide conditioning without buildup
• Designed for system use with Conditioner/Glass Gloss for best results

How much shine improvement can I expect and when will I see it?

Redken’s lab comparisons show a substantial increase in surface shine when the shampoo is used with the Glass Gloss Treatment versus unwashed color-treated hair. Visible improvement can be immediate after rinsing, with molecular-level shine benefits building through repeated use in the complete Acidic Color Gloss routine.

• Instant smoothing effect after first wash
• Progressive shine increase with regular system use
• Formulated to lock in reflective surface shine on strands

Is this a gentle daily shampoo for sensitive or treated hair?

Yes — the sulfate-free, acid-balanced formula cleanses without aggressive surfactants, making it suitable for regular use on color-treated hair. Its conditioning actives aim to prevent dryness and maintain manageability while protecting color vibrancy from common stresses like water and heat exposure.

• Gentle cleansing base that avoids sulfate stripping
• Conditions while washing to reduce brittleness and frizz
• Suitable for frequent washing when maintaining color is a priority

How should I use the 1.7 fl oz travel size for best results?

The compact 1.7 fl oz format is ideal for travel or trial. Apply to wet hair, lather gently, rinse, and follow with the matching Acidic Color Gloss Conditioner or Glass Gloss Treatment to maximize color retention and shine benefits. For optimal color protection, use the full Acidic Color Gloss system as directed.

• Wet hair, apply a small amount, massage, then rinse
• Follow with Conditioner or Glass Gloss Treatment for full effect
• Carry-on/travel-friendly size for maintaining color on the go
