Made hair soft but sadly caused shedding
24 days ago
I used the shampoo and conditioner for about two weeks and it made my hair feel and look incredibly shiny and healthy which is why it makes me very sad to say that it also caused hair loss, so I had to stop using it:( At first it was only a bit of shedding but then I noticed my hair falling out after washing like never before. I dont think that would happen to everyone, I personally believe it may have been an allergic reaction or just overusing the product so I am posting this to let people know that if you're experiencing hair loss it might me from allergies or overusing.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Answers to Your Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT DOES ACIDIC BONDING SHAMPOO DO FOR YOUR HAIR?
The Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo is a bond strengthening shampoo designed to support damaged or colour‑treated hair. This sulfate‑free, ph balanced shampoo helps reinforce weakened bonds, resulting in smoother‑looking, more conditioned hair. The formula contains Citric Acid to help maintain an optimal pH level while delivering conditioning benefits for colour longevity. This acidic bonding shampoo also helps defend hair from the effects of colouring, hair styling and water exposure.
CAN YOU USE ACIDIC BONDING SHAMPOO EVERY DAY?
If you can use Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo everyday is up to your particular hair type and how frequently your scalp produces oil. For most colour-treated hair, using this formula two times a week is ideal for most hair types. This lets the natural oils re-coat each strand between use. Those with curly, coily or thick hair may prefer once‑weekly washing due to slower oil movement or our Acidic Bonding Curls Shampoo, designed to strengthen natural curls. Fine or straight hair may suit more frequent daily use or other hair care products for fine hair.
WHAT ARE PH‑BALANCED SHAMPOOS?
pH‑balanced shampoos are formulated to align with the natural pH range of the hair and scalp. Healthy hair typically sits between pH 4.5 and 5.5, but everyday factors such as water, colouring services and heat tools can push hair to a more alkaline state, affecting smoothness and manageability.
A pH-balanced shampoo and other Redken ABC hair care products help maintain this balance and supports the cuticle, contributing to shinier, smoother‑looking hair with reduced dryness or frizz. For colour‑treated hair, a low pH shampoo can also help maintain colour vibrancy and the appearance of stronger, well‑conditioned hair.

CAN YOU USE REDKEN ACIDIC BONDING CONCENTRATE PH-BALANCING SHAMPOO AS A LEAVE-IN TREATMENT?
No, this shampoo is designed to be rinsed out. It cleanses the scalp and hair while delivering strengthening benefits, which can then be followed with the Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-In Treatment for additional conditioning.
DO I NEED A PH-BALANCING SHAMPOO?
A pH‑balancing shampoo can be beneficial for all hair types, especially if your hair is coloured, dry or frequently exposed to heat tools. Redken offers a wide range of ph balanced shampoos tailored for different concerns, including our:
• All Soft Argan Oil Shampoo for dry or damaged hair
• Blondage High Bright Shampoo to revitalise blonde hair
• All Soft Mega Curls Shampoo to nourish curly or coily hair
• Extreme Length Shampoo for those looking to grow and fortify long, healthy hair
• And the Colour Extend Magnetics Shampoo, another quality shampoo for damaged coloured hair
HOW IS ACIDIC BONDING CONCENTRATE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER BONDING PRODUCTS?
Our Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo stands out for its use of Citric Acid, an alpha hydroxy acid that helps reinforce weakened hair bonds and support smoother‑looking, more conditioned hair. The low pH formula helps maintain optimal balance on the hair’s surface.
Unlike many bonding systems that are designed as additional steps or in-salon services, this low pH shampoo brings bonding care into a simple, everyday cleansing step suitable for all hair types and textures. It's the same bond repair shampoo Redken Global Ambassador Sabrina Carpenter swears by to maintain her signature blonde hair and bouncy bangs.
