Redken Acidic Color Gloss Conditioner for Color-Treated Hair — 1 fl oz, Sulfate-Free Shine & Color Protection

This lightweight, pH-balanced formula was created to reinforce color vibrancy and boost salon-like shine for color-treated hair. Designed to be used as part of Redken's Acidic Color Gloss system, the conditioner helps smooth the hair surface, lock in pigments, and add instant radiance without weighing strands down. It works best layered with the Glass Gloss Treatment and complements the Acidic Gloss Shampoo for prolonged results.

How does this conditioner keep color from fading?

The acidic, pH-tuned formula helps to close and smooth the cuticle after cleansing, which reduces pigment loss and surface dulling. By creating a sealed outer layer, reflected light increases and color appears fresher between salon visits. It’s formulated without sulfates to avoid stripping dyes during daily care.

• pH-balanced acidic chemistry minimizes cuticle lift and pigment escape
• Sulfate-free base reduces harsh detergent-driven fading
• Use with Acidic Color Gloss Shampoo for up to 32 washes of enhanced vibrancy

What immediate effects will I notice after using it?

Right after rinsing, hair feels softer and looks glossier thanks to conditioners and light-reflecting agents in the blend. Users typically observe a smoother surface and more apparent shine compared with untreated color hair. The formula also supports easier detangling and a silkier feel when towel-dried.

• Instant conditioning for softer, more manageable strands
• Visible increase in shine and smoothness—boosts light reflection
• Helps seal cuticles to reduce frizz and tangles post-wash

How should I incorporate this into my color-care routine?

For best performance, start with Redken Acidic Color Gloss Shampoo, apply the conditioner after rinsing, and layer the Glass Gloss Treatment as directed for an extra sheen boost. Rinse the conditioner thoroughly; for styling, use Heat Protection Spray on towel-dried hair before heat tools. Follow the full system schedule recommended by your stylist for lasting results.

• Shampoo first, then apply conditioner focusing on mid-lengths to ends
• Layer Glass Gloss Treatment over the conditioner when instructed for molecular-level shine
• Finish with Heat Protection Spray before blow-drying or styling tools

Will this work on different types of color treatments?

The formula is compatible with permanent color, demi-permanent glosses, and professional toners, helping them retain a polished look between salon services. It’s especially effective for chemically colored hair that benefits from gentler, low-pH care. As with any color-care product, pairing it with the matching Acidic Color Gloss system yields the best longevity.

• Suitable for permanent dyes, glosses, and toners
• Safe for regular use when following recommended system steps
• Works on fine to coarse color-treated hair textures

Who is this for: This conditioner is made for anyone who wants to prolong salon-grade color and amplify shine without harsh sulfates—ideal for clients who color regularly, those using glosses or toners, and people seeking a lightweight conditioner that smooths and seals the cuticle. If you want conditioned, high-shine hair that reflects color more vividly between salon visits, Redken Acidic Color Gloss Conditioner fits into a professional-level maintenance routine.
