Review: Excellent product. Worth a try. - So I've tried this once and I've already felt a difference in my hair. According to reviews this product stands up against k18 and olaplex 3 but it is better value. I read that you need to use it once a week for 2 months to get the maximum benefit but I can already feel some improvement. My hair is softer and less frizzy with more shine. I didn't bother with the redken shampoo or conditioner but I used a L'Oreal absolute repair shampoo then a L'Oreal elvive moisturising hair mask. Apparently using a hair mask afterwards is better than using a conditioner. I've used this shampoo and hair mask before but this time, after using the redken acidic bonder, I can certainly notice a difference. I'm hopeful that in 8 weeks my hair will be in much better condition than when I started. It's cheaper than k18 and olaplex 3 so it's definitely worth a try if you have hair damaged from bleach and colouring.
Review: Beautiful hair - I am really impressed with this product. I used it with doubts it would do anything with my stubborn fine easily tangled hair but after leaving this on for 10 minutes I rinsed it out. As soon as I started to rinse I could tell straight away my hair was really soft. I shampooed and conditioned then towel dried it. Brushing it after towel drying is usually a challenge as it’s badly knotted and tangled but not after using this. OMG my brush went through my hair very easily, no knots at all. I dried it without using any other products and by the evening, usually I have to battle with brushing my hair before I go to bed. My brush went through with no knots from throughout the day which is unheard of. After sleeping, I woke up the next day to find no knots or tangles at all. It’s normally a battle to brush my hair after sleeping but there were absolutely no tangles what so ever. I absolutely love the smell of this product. There is no greasiness, just beautiful, shiny, healthy looking hair. It’s definitely worth the money . I would highly recommend this to anyone.
