Why Asian Stylists Recommend It
Color fades and dulls fast on dark Asian hair, and the acidic seal keeps the tone vibrant and glossy longer between appointments.

Best for
Color-treated hair of any shade that needs shine and fade protection rather than toning.
Avoid if
You need to correct brassy yellow or orange tones, since this shampoo protects color but does not deposit toning pigment.
Why we recommend it
Redken Acidic Color Gloss is a sulfate-free glossing shampoo whose acidic pH-balanced formula seals the cuticle to lock in shine and extend color between salon visits. Used with the Glass Gloss treatment it delivers markedly shinier, more vibrant color-treated hair while gently cleansing to preserve the tone. For overseas Asian clients whose fashion or dimensional color fades on naturally dark hair, sealing the cuticle slows that fade and keeps the color reading glossy and rich. It is a maintenance and shine shampoo rather than a toning one, so it protects color instead of neutralizing brass.
