- Q
Is this shampoo good for a sort of dry scalp?
- Asked by Katherine
- Official Answer By Redken - BEHi there! Thank you for reaching out about our Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo. For a dry scalp, the Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo can be beneficial, though its primary focus is on repairing and strengthening damaged hair. Here's why it's a good choice for overall hair health, which can indirectly support a healthier scalp: pH-Balancing Formula: This shampoo has an acidic pH, which helps to seal the hair cuticle. A balanced pH can also create a healthier environment for your scalp. Bond Repair: It's formulated with Citric Acid and our Bonding Care Complex to reinforce weakened bonds in damaged hair. While this directly targets hair integrity, healthier hair can reduce stress on the scalp. Gentle Cleansing: It offers a gentle cleanse, which can be important for a sensitive or dry scalp, preventing further irritation from harsh ingredients. While it's not specifically a dry scalp treatment, improving the overall health and condition of your hair can certainly contribute to a more comfortable scalp. For persistent or severe dry scalp concerns, you might also consider incorporating a dedicated scalp treatment.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
my hair isnt damaged. just hair loss and thinning . will this work?
- Asked by oda
- Official Answer By Redken - BEHi, While Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo excels at repairing damage, it may not be the best solution for hair loss and thinning. It primarily strengthens weakened bonds and prevents breakage, which can sometimes make hair appear thinner. Redken Extreme Length line, formulated with biotin, can also help fortify hair and reduce breakage. For personalized recommendations based on your specific concerns, we also recommend consulting a Redken stylist to achieve your desired result.Was this answer helpful to you

Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo
Hair Type Straight Hair
I have used this product for some time now. I have partial highlights, it does not change my highlight color and it keeps my hair soft and shiny. This product also cleans your hair very well and it does not take much.
I will continue to buy this product.
Hair Type Wavy Hair
Best product I have ever used to correct hair damage caused from hair dye and processing.
Great Shampoo
I've been using this shampoo for about 6 months, and while I'm not a fan of the conditioner, I love the shampoo. I make sure to double cleanse my hair: wet entire head and go in with the first rinse with shampoo, rinse out, and go back in with another lather of shampoo (the second time gets better lather) — make sure to thouroughly go through the scalp. I then use a mask to make sure my hair is nice and soft (I don't like the conditioner, does nothing for my hair). The scent of the shampoo is pleasant and I feel like I have a happy and healthy scalp!! No buildup. I have pretty long hair, about 3 inches from my hips (I'm 5'7). It's quite dense but my hairdresser says I have thin strands. Shampoo is great, the matching conditioner, pass on it.
BLONDES BEWARE
Hair Type Wavy Hair
This shampoo will remove your toner if you have blonde-toned hair. It is a very good shampoo and definitely makes your hair feel much healthier and softer, but it will 100% remove your toner. I only used it 2 times, and my toner was washed out.
Love this Shampoo
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I love Redken ABC. My hair takes a lot of damage due to the lighting and dyeing I do to it and this helps so much to keep it looking, feeling and actually healthy.
