Redken: The Science of Superior Haircare — Now at Zilion New Zealand

In the world of professional hair care, Redken isn’t just a brand; it’s the architect of modern hair science. Founded in 1960 by Hollywood actress Paula Kent and her chemist Jheri Redding, Redken was the first to realize that hair is primarily composed of protein and has an acidic pH. This "Protein + Moisture + Acidic pH" philosophy remains the gold standard for stylists globally.

At Zilion, we believe that every Kiwi deserves hair that doesn't just look healthy but is structurally sound. Whether you’re battling the drying effects of the Canterbury winds or the high UV exposure of an Auckland summer, Redken’s prescriptive formulas provide the molecular repair your hair needs.

The Redken Difference: Why pH Matters

Most people don’t realize that the secret to glossy, frizz-free hair lies in the pH level. When hair is exposed to harsh water, sun, or chemical treatments, its pH balance is disrupted, leading to damage and dullness. Redken’s Acidic Bonding Concentrate and iconic care ranges work to rebalance that pH, sealing the cuticle and locking in moisture and color vibrancy.

A Curated Range for Every Hair Goal

The Redken portfolio at Zilion is extensive, targeting every specific hair concern with surgical precision:

• The Repair Powerhouse: Acidic Bonding Concentrate — Redken’s most advanced formula for total hair transformation.

• The Moisture Master: All Soft & All Soft Mega — Infused with Argan oil to turn brittle, straw-like hair into silk.

• The Strength Specialist: Extreme & Extreme Length — Formulated with protein to stop breakage and split ends in their tracks.

• The Color Guardian: Color Extend Magnetics — Sulfate-free protection to keep your salon color vivid for weeks.

• The Volume Architect: Volume Injection — A weightless lift for fine, limp hair that needs a boost.
