Do you have 5 mins to spare for healthy hair?
The product
If your ‘everything shower’ is lacking a weekly hair mask, don’t worry, you’ve come to the right place. The Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate (ABC) 5-min Liquid Mask is the newest step to try for silky soft strands. You read that right, a quick five min wash-out mask. Think of the other steps you could get done in that time!
So if heavy hair masks leave your tresses weighed down and feeling greasy. This lightweight mask will easily slather through your strands, effortlessly coating hair with Redken’s (patinted) conditioning care technology, allowing the conditioning oils (and cationic agent) to nourish and smooth your locks.
If tangled tresses (and we’re not talking Disney here) are a true form of suffering for you, this ultimate softening mask also works to detangle those pesky knots. Added bonus; less ripping your brush through knots equals less hair fall, win win!

The lowdown
Here’s what the Review Crew® loved about Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate (ABC) 5-min Liquid Mask.
The visible strand-strengthening results: If you’re applying a weekly mask, you’re undoubtedly hoping to see some results. And boy did our Review Crew® members see strand-strengthening results. Our reviewers saw (and felt) stronger strands from the very first wash! The mask instantly penetrates the follicle for max reparative power.
The shimmering, softening shine: Shiny hair is literally always our goal. And what’s hindering our endeavours? The absolute birds nest our hair ends up looking like, that's what! So hearing that the Review Crew® found that the mask helped to beat away troublesome tangles (and the dreaded frizz) and leave behind a mane of soft shimmering strands is music to our ears.
The healthy hair hydration: Of course, what good would a deep restorative mask be if it didn’t deliver on hydrated, healthy hair? No matter the question, moisture is the answer. And for answer-seeking damaged hair holders (like our Review Crew®) this mask was the hydrating, repairing solution they’ve been looking for.
