Heavy Cream Super Treatment
All Soft
Heavy Cream Super Treatment is a rich, moisturizing cream that intensely softens dry, brittle or coarse hair. Redken’s exclusive Interbond Conditioning System delivers proteins, amino acids, and avocado oil to provide extra softness, conditioning and frizz control.

I love the black and gold combo for …read more
