Frequently asked

Is Redken worth the money?

▾

Yes — Redken is actually cheaper per fl oz than the middle of the market. Measured per fl oz, Redken sits below the $4.73 category median, so there is no premium to justify — buy it on preference, not as a splurge. The one caveat is pack size: a small bottle can still be a large total spend even at a fair price per fl oz, so check the sticker as well as the unit cost.
