With everyone’s goal of shiny, healthy hair at the top of their lists — 2024 has already been deemed the year of the “gloss.” But if you’re already tuned into this trend and have your glosses perfectly scheduled out, you may be looking for an additional way to increase shine between appointments.

What Is Redken Acidic Color Gloss?

Masters of creating the perfect shine, Redken Acidic Color Gloss is an at-home hair care system designed to improve hydration, and condition for a molecular-level shine for +76% shinier hair.** **Acidic Color Gloss shampoo + Glass Gloss treatment vs. unwashed color treated hair.
