Launching January 25th, Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Hair Bandage Balm is a quick-absorbing, non-greasy leave-in treatment that acts like a bandage for damaged ends. Designed for use on clean, damp hair to treat ends or on dry hair to refresh styles, tame slick-backs, ponytails, and braids, the Balm is powered by an 8% Bonding Care Complex with Citric Acid and Madecassoside to deliver 5x less breakage in just one use* while relinking broken bonds deep within the hair fiber and visibly sealing split ends by up to 96%.** The formula smooths even the most stressed, damaged ends*** and protects against heat up to 450°F, leaving hair softer, stronger, and revived.
Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Hair Bandage Balm retails for $45 and will be available at Redken.com, Redken salons nationwide, Amazon, Ulta, and Ulta.com, with professional availability at SalonCentric and SalonCentric.com beginning late January.
By partnering with the 2026 Grammy Awards, Redken continues to champion the artists and professionals shaping culture - delivering high-performance hair care that works as hard as they do.
