FAQ: Traveling with Your Redken Regimen


1. Can I bring full-size shampoo in carry-on?

No. TSA's 3-1-1 rule: liquids, gels, aerosols must be 3.4 ounces (100 ml) or less, fitting into one quart-sized bag. Your full-size Redken shampoo belongs in checked luggage; pack your crucial travel-sized Redken protectors in your carry-on.

2. How can I protect my hair while on vacation?

Use products with heat protection, like Redken's Acidic Color Gloss Heat Protection Leave-In Treatment:. Wear a wide-brimmed hat to avoid UV exposure. After swimming, rinse immediately with fresh water. Consistently use color-safe shampoos and conditioners, like Acidic Color Gloss Shampoo & Conditioner, which add shine and help protect from color fade . Boost occasionally with Acidic Color Gloss Gloss-in-Mask: to refresh shine and vibrancy.

3. How often should I tone my hair while traveling?

Toning frequency during travel aligns with your hair's usual needs, influenced by hair type, color, and tone fade rate. For most short trips, consistent use of Redken color-protecting shampoos, conditioners, and leave-ins suffices. If travel involves significant sun, hard water, or stressors, you might see tone shifts or brassiness faster. A travel-size toning mask or purple shampoo/conditioner (if applicable) like Redken Blondage Shampoo and Conditioner, can help prevent brassiness and orange tones.
