Redken Acidic Color Gloss Shampoo Refill — pH-Balanced, Sulfate-Free Color Protection & Shine

This gentle shampoo uses an acidic formula designed for color-treated hair to help seal the cuticle and enhance reflective shine without stripping pigments. Now available in a more sustainable refill format, it provides an efficient way to maintain salon-grade color and high-gloss results between salon visits.

How does this shampoo help maintain my hair color?

The acidic pH helps close and smooth the hair cuticle after cleansing, which reduces color bleed and keeps pigments looking fresh. Because the formula is sulfate-free, it cleanses without harsh detergents that can prematurely fade color.

• pH-balanced acidic formula seals cuticle for longer-lasting color
• Sulfate-free cleansing minimizes color stripping
• Part of Redken’s Gloss System for coordinated color care

Will it make my hair shiny without weighing it down?

The formula is designed to enhance inner shine by smoothing the hair surface, resulting in reflective, glossy hair without heavy buildup. It rinses cleanly and works well with leave-in and treatment steps in the Gloss System for a light, luminous finish.

• Seals and smooths the cuticle to increase surface reflectivity
• Lightweight shine effect that plays well with styling products
• Rinses clean to avoid residue that can flatten hair

Is this shampoo suitable for a sustainable routine?

Yes — the refill-ready option uses significantly less plastic per milliliter compared with the standard 300 mL bottle, making it a more eco-conscious choice for regular color-care routines. The refill format also means fewer full bottles to recycle over time.

• Refill-ready format reduces plastic use by 68% per mL versus the 300 mL bottle
• Same salon-grade formula, in a lower-waste package
• Designed to integrate with existing Redken refill systems and bottle tops

How do I include it in my color-care routine?

Use this shampoo as the cleansing step in Redken’s Gloss System, followed by the matching treatment and a leave-in gloss product for optimal results. For best effect, work the shampoo into a lather, rinse thoroughly, and follow with the recommended treatment to lock in the shine.

• Apply to wet hair, lather, and rinse; repeat if needed
• Follow with Redken Gloss Treatment and a leave-in gloss for full system benefits
• Use as part of regular maintenance to extend salon color between appointments

Who this is for: Redken Acidic Color Gloss Shampoo is aimed at anyone with color-treated hair who wants to preserve salon color, boost shine, and adopt a lower-waste refill option. It suits fine to medium densities seeking lightweight luster as well as thicker hair types that need cuticle smoothing to reveal brighter, more vibrant color. If you want a professional-level, sulfate-free cleanse that plays well with color-care treatments and styling products, this shampoo fits naturally into that routine.
