    I will buy this product again !

    2 years ago
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the Acidic Color Gloss Shampoo, and I'm blown away by the results! Not only does it effectively cleanse my hair, but it also leaves it feeling incredibly soft and shiny. The acidic formula is gentle on my colored hair, helping to maintain its vibrancy while preventing any unwanted brassiness. I love how the gloss adds a beautiful sheen to my locks, making them look and feel healthier with every wash. Plus, the refreshing scent is an added bonus! I highly recommend this shampoo to anyone looking to enhance and protect their colored hair

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Smells Great, Works Great!

    2 years ago
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was honestly a little hesitant to try this shampoo, because the word "acidic" sounds a little scary. I was worried it would fry my hair or something! However, my worries were quickly squashed when I tried it for the first time. It looks and feels exactly like you would expect a from a shampoo, and it smells great. Every time I use it, I feel like I've just come from the salon. My hair feels so soft and healthy after using it just once, but after using it every day for a while now, I don't think my hair has ever felt better. Highly recommended!

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Color Gloss

    a year ago
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Acidic Color Gloss Activated Glass Shampoo was really good. It smells very nice which is a plus for me. I used according to directions and afterwards, I really could see a difference in my hair. I really didn't have enough in the pack to get a good thorough treatment. My hair is longer now so I believe that if I'd had enough of the Color Gloss shampoo, it would had made it even better. But I worked with what I had, my hair was shining and it brought out the color of my hair. I really liked it and will be buying it soon.

    Might be better suited for dry hair

    2 years ago
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free from Redken in exchange for a product review. I was excited to receive this product because I have highlighted hair and thought this would give me a nice shine. The shampoo smells nice, lathers fine, I even like the packaging, and my hair comes out nice and soft and shiny the first day, which are all positives of the shampoo. However I found with this shampoo, my hair looks greasy the next day, I do have normal somewhat oily scalp, but usually can go a few days with dry shampoo. I found it really hard to manage my hair the second day and after, and my hair just looked greasier than normal. After a few washed with this shampoo, I just went back to my usual one and probably will not be using this one again. This might be better for damaged and highly processed hair, or dry scalp.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    I really wanted to hate this stuff..

    2 years ago
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With the price point I wanted to not like it but wanted to see how the other half lives. I’m a whatever’s on sale girl. And usually end up with dry itchy scalp most of the time. But one wash with this stuff makes me wish I'd have never tried it. I love how it makes my hair feel soft and luxurious. The scent is amazing. And it didn’t strip all of the vivid color from my hair. It was amazing! When I’ve got extra money to throw around I’ll definitely be purchasing this set.

    Shiny, soft, and super manageable

    2 years ago
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very impressed with the acidic color gloss shampoo and conditioner. I saw an immediate improvement in the appearance and feel of my hair. I have very fine hair and many conditioners are too heavy for it and weigh it down, but I also have very dry, damaged hair so I need a good conditioner. Using the acidic color gloss system, I did not have to sacrifice volume and bounce for moisture. I was able to have both volume and moisture in one amazing product line.

    This product is amazing.

    2 years ago
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am abundantly grateful to have received this product in exchange for my honest review from the fantastic team at Bzzagent and Redkin. Thank you so much. This product is fantastic. I've struggled with damage from years of prior coloring and bleaching and then after having my son my hair was just different in the worst ways. Dry, lack luster, easily breaking. Very unhappy locks. I've endlessly tried many things to help restore my hair and all without much success if any. But this shampoo really helped my hair looks so much shinier, as well as less tangled and and more easily managed. Such a major difference even my mini noticed as he hadn't ever before wanted to twirl my hair and now it's a daily event and I'm so happy. I have used many of Redken's products for many years and this is probably my favorite, I definetely recommend it.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received this free complimentary sample of Redken Acidic Color Gloss Duo Shampoo & Conditioner pH 3.5-4.5 .17 fl oz 5ml from Redkin /Sopost/Facebook, I was excited to try it cause is a acidic color gloss and sulfate free since I dye my hair all the time and it helps extend the color and provides shines. is really not enough to really tell if it will works or not. My hair is kind of long so the conditioner was not enough. The smell is very nice, and the final result a little softer., will definitely have to buy the full size ❤ #redkenacidiccolorglossshampooconditioner #redkensample #GiftedbyRedken #IAgreeRedken #sopost #conditioner #shampoo #beauty #selfcare #hair #color #free #freeproduct #redken #conditioner #productreview #productphotography #FreebieSamples #freebies #Sopost #facebook # #freebymail #thankyou #hair @redken @sopost2021

      It’s ok

      2 years ago
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who regularly relies on Redken products, I recently tried the Acidic Color Gloss Activated Glass Conditioner. While the shampoo left my hair feeling refreshed and clean, I found the conditioner lacking in moisturizing properties. Despite its promise of extra gloss, I didn't notice any significant enhancement in shine after use. Overall, it fell short of my expectations for a conditioner from Redken.

      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To be honest I didn't really expect much from a sample but I was surprised and now I can't stop talking about it. My hair needed a little extra happiness and this shampoo did it. My hair wasn't dull after using and actually looked like I had been to a salon. Thank you Redken. I've recommended this to my family and friends . I'll bring it up casually while grocery shopping too . Small sample, huge results.

      I am satisfied with the result

      a year ago
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this product out of simple curiosity, by requesting a free sample. I guess to know if it's really good it's not enough to use it just once. However, I can say that I found it pleasant and quite effective considering that I only used it once. My hair feels soft and shiny so it is very likely that I will try to get more information about this brand that I didn't know anything about until now.

Highly recommend you use with the matching conditioner for best turnout.

      Does the job

      2 years ago
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shampoo does a good job of cleaning the hair. Unfortunately my 3c/4a curls felt a little stiff after using. I did enjoy the smell of the shampoo and after following with the conditioner my curls regained their bounce. I would not use this very often, but maybe occasionally if I'm looking for a thorough clean for my color treated curls.

      Yes, I recommend this product.

      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It doesn't take a lot of this shampoo to get glossy and smooth results. The product itself is appealing and it smells fantastic! I got a lot of compliments on how my hair smelled. Several times I used the product with air drying and styling and achieved similar results with the shiny smooth hair and the scent.

      Yes, I recommend this product.

      Nice product for color treated hair but a bit drying

      2 years ago
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have naturally dark brown hair with highlights so was looking for a shampoo that would prolong the time between toning appointments. Overall, I liked that it left my hair feeling clean and didn't notice it striping any color. It did feel a bit drying and didn't notice a huge difference in shine.

      Yes, I recommend this product.

      Amazing

      2 years ago
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shampoo and conditioner is nothing short of amazing. After just one use my hair looks moisturized, shiny, and silky smooth. I live in a humid area and these products give me luscious hair and no frizz! I love this shampoo and conditioner.
