Overview

Curly and coily hair owners with damage get a silicone-free bonding conditioner from Redken. Citric acid, glycine and urea work to build bonds, while coconut oil, avocado oil and shea butter add moisture and elasticity.

Bond repair for processed curls, without silicones, is the main draw for curly routines. The headline results come from using the whole product line together.

Who it's for

Color-treated or heat-worn curls in the tighter pattern range benefit most. Straight-haired users will find the oils and butters too heavy.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Silicone free and vegan
  • Safe on color-treated hair
  • Coconut, avocado and shea for moisture
Cons
  • Results tied to the full system
  • Size not listed
  • Heavy for fine, straight hair

Performance notes

Damaged curls lose internal bonds, which loosens the pattern and adds frizz. The acidic actives work inside the strand, while oils and shea seal the surface to slow moisture loss between washes.
