## Who should consider it?

Choose a leave-in when your routine needs conditioning after washing. Use the amount suited to your hair density; a fine strand and a dense curl do not necessarily want the same quantity.

## What should you check before buying?

The name Acidic Bonding Concentrate covers several products. Read the full label so the leave-in is not confused with a rinse-out treatment. Manufacturer repair claims do not make styling technique or heat settings irrelevant.

## How to use it

1. Apply to clean, damp hair as directed by Redken.
2. Leave in without rinsing.
3. Style as usual and avoid contact with the eyes.

## Questions and answers

### Should this Redken treatment be rinsed out?
