FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Answers to Your Frequently Asked Questions
The Acidic Bonding Curls range is for people with damaged, chemically-processed wavy, curly, and coily hair. It is best recommended for those with curl patterns 4-8 (3A-4C) but is suitable for curl patterns 3+ (2B and beyond). It is safe for color-treated hair.
Yes, Acidic Bonding Curls can be used on hair that’s been relaxed. However, these formulas have been designed to provide positive attributes such as frizz control and definition to all curl patterns. Hair that has been relaxed to the point that there is no longer a curl pattern might benefit from using Acidic Bonding Concentrate as an alternative.
The Acidic Bonding Curls Leave-In Treatment was not validated for use as an overnight treatment. However, because people with curly hair very often do not shampoo daily the leave-in will inevitably be left in the hair overnight. While it is safe to do so, there is no evidence that there is any increased benefit to leaving the product in overnight – meaning, the benefits of the product are seen and felt immediately and do not progressively increase over time.
The Acidic Bonding Curls Leave-In Treatment provides caring and strengthening benefits for processed, damaged curly, and coily hair. All Soft Mega Curls Hydramelt provides caring moisture benefits for extremely dry curly and coily hair. The Hydrating Curl Cream provides light hold styling benefits for all curls and coils along with heat protection up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit / 230 degrees Celsius.
No. To replace styling products, we recommend using the Redken Curl Stylers. For recommendations, please refer to the Curl Sylers FAQ.
Because curls naturally tend to be susceptible to fragility and dryness, we increased the concentration in the Acidic Bonding Curls formula to provide additional benefits specific to curls that are damaged. The additional Bonding Care Complex helps to lock in hydration and preserve the curl’s pattern, definition, and manageability.
Formulated with a Bonding Care Complex, Citric Acid, and Glycine, Acidic Bonding Curls are for processed, damaged curly, and coily hair. All Soft Mega Curls is formulated with a Nourishing Complex and Aloe for extremely dry curly and coily hair.
Over time, silicones can build up within the hair resulting in unwanted weight. Acidic Bonding Curls focuses on restoring curls with lightweight moisture while strengthening the hair from the inside to achieve bouncy, nourished hair.
The shampoo and conditioner formulas are free of sulfate cleansing ingredients (SLES and SLS). All are vegan formulas with no animal-derived ingredients.
Yes, the products can be used on 100% human hair extensions in which the cuticle has not been altered from its original state before purchase. Apply product to the human hair portion of the weft only avoiding any points of adhesion.
Benefits will last up to 96 hours or until the next wash.
The range can be used as often as desired. No matter how many days go between shampooing, Acidic Bonding Curls Shampoo removes build-up on the hair and scalp leaving the hair feeling gently cleansed.
Yes, the Acidic Bonding Curls is suitable for color-treated hair.
Yes. Acidic Bonding Curls provides specific caring benefits to curly and coily hair that is moderate to severely damaged either through repeated permanent coloring, bleaching, and/or excessive heat styling. Curl Stylers provide styling benefits for all curls and coils for even up to 7th day curls that need to be revitalized, defined, and hydrated. If you want to use the Acidic Bonding Curls Leave-In Treatment followed by Hydrating Curl Cream, the recommendation is to use about ½ of the amount of each as you would normally. In this case, less is more.
For the full benefits, it’s recommended to use Acidic Bonding Curls Shampoo, Conditioner, and Leave-In Treatment as a complete system.
The fragrance of the Acidic Bonding Curls range is the same as the rest of the Acidic Bonding Concentrate range.
Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are found in several hair and skin cosmetic products, as they are known to help cleanse without stripping moisture. The US FDA advises that all cosmetic products containing AHAs that are topically applied to the skin have the potential to increase the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight and recommends very specific usage instructions on these types of products. Acidic Bonding Curls products are hair products that contain the AHA known as citric acid and are not intended for topical application to the skin. However, unintentional exposure of the skin may occur during regular use and that’s why the FDA’s recommended statements are included on the packaging for your understanding and awareness.
What are the Redken Curl Stylers?
The new Redken Curl Stylers consist of a Hydrating Curl Cream, Sculpting Curl Gel, and Refreshing Curl Mist. Our styling trio formulated without silicones, sulfates, parabens, or mineral oils allows you to empower every pattern whether used alone or together for customized results. Now you can have 7th-day curls and coils that are revitalized, defined, and hydrated.
Who are Curl Stylers best for?
Curl Stylers are best for curl patterns 3-8 (2B – 4C) who are looking for curl definition and frizz control. These products are ideal for those who feel their curls are undefined, dry, frizzy, dull, dehydrated, and unmanageable.
Can the Curl Styling products be re-applied?
Yes. Many curly hair textures can go for multiple days without washing, and they will often re-apply products to maintain frizz-controlling and curl-defining benefits. Curl Stylers can be reapplied as desired.
Can all three Curl Stylers be used together?
Yes, the products can be used alone or together when layered.
Can REDKEN CURL STYLERS be used following ACIDIC BONDING CONCENTRATE CURLS?
Yes. If you want to use Acidic Bonding Curls Silicone-Free Leave-In Treatment followed by the Hydrating Curl Cream, the recommendation is to use about ½ of the amount of each as you would normally. In this case, less is more.
Why are there no silicones in the formula?
While silicones in haircare can bring multiple benefits, there is a perception in the curly-haired community that silicones can build up over time resulting in unwanted weight. Curl Stylers are for those who are looking for curl definition and frizz control with a lightweight feel to the hair.
Will the Curl Stylers leave my hair greasy or heavy?
The curl stylers are not greasy, oily, crunchy, or stiff and will not weigh down curls or coils.
Are the curl stylers a replacement for the Curvaceous range?
Yes. Although the Curl Stylers and Curvaceous products are not like-for-like replacements, Curvaceous will be discontinued and these products can be recommended in their place.
