i have been using contour 8 for many years and it's the only product that allowed me to do what i wanted and have my hair looking amazing. i've gone from curly to straight and it still works. why, when something works, do you discontinue it? i won't be trying anymore redken products, just in case they too are discontinued.

  • Substitute for Contour????

No, I don't think so. Where the heck is Contour? It was easy to use, great results and it must have been great they are almost out of overstock close outs on Amazon at at least three times the original price. All stylists who have ever used it want it back!!!!!
Concrete and hardware are too,over the top.

I was a loyal Contour 08 user until Redken abandoned us. I finally used up my last bottle and had to search for a replacement. Paul Mitchell Hair Sculpting Lotion does the job for me. Since Redken abandoned me, I'm glad that I can now abandon Redken. Plus, there's a store version that may save me even more money in the future.

I think I have covered most of Los Angeles area looking for any retail store that has contour 08 left on their shelves. Fortunately I did find a beauty supply store with 3 bottles left. unfortunately I have recently used the last of the product. Awhile back Redken discontinued this item and brought it back. I was hoping they would do the same again but to my disappointment it hasn't been done.
