Redken acidic bonding or olaplex

[bronderRose3]

Need recommendations!! I know everyone’s hair is different.  But, if you guys had the choice between Redken Acidic Bonding shampoo and Olaplex shampoo, what would you pick? I know they do different things. I have thick bleached hair and want it to be hydrated, healthy, shiny.  Please pick!!

I have thin, fine, middle aged, color treated, and now damaged and breaking hair from an incident this past spring. Since May, I have used many different bond builders to try to improve the health of my hair. Here is a ranking of what has worked from most effective to least effective for my particular hair:

1. Epres

2. Redkin Acid Bonding treatment, shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner

3. K18 Detox shampoo, treatment, and oil

4. Olaplex Number 0, 3, 4, 5, 9

5. Living Proof Triple Bond Repair

Did you like Epres? I felt like it was a waste of money. I bought the pro version (I’m not sure what the retail version is) and I didn’t notice any difference in my hair at all.

There is no right or wrong answer. It’s whatever choice you would like to make. Also, yes I got your DM. I like the Olaplex Shampoo, I really don’t like the conditioner - I find it does next to nothing for the hair. If you are going the Olaplex route, I would go with Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance™ Strengthening Hair Repair Shampoo 8.5 oz/ 250 mL  and Olaplex No. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Damage Repair Hair Mask Treatment 3.3 oz/ 100 mL
