Using acidic pH technology and conditioning ingredients like apricot oil and omega-9s, it reseals the hair cuticle for a reflective, **glass-like finish** with less frizz and improved softness. Perfect as a maintenance add-on or a standalone boost, it suits most hair types and is especially valued by clients whose colour looks dull or whose hair feels porous. ## What Happens During the Treatment The **Acidic Color Gloss** service is straightforward and fits easily into your existing appointment: - Your stylist shampoos and towel-dries your hair, then applies the acidic gloss evenly through the mid-lengths and ends - The treatment is left on for **5–10 minutes** to allow the formula to smooth and seal the cuticle - After rinsing thoroughly, your stylist may follow with a conditioner or heat-protection spray, then blow-dry to showcase the shine and smoothness - The result is immediate: hair feels softer, looks more reflective, and colour appears brighter and more even Because this is a **non-pigment gloss**, it enhances your existing colour and condition rather than changing your shade, making it a low-commitment way to maintain vibrancy and manage frizz. ## Who It Suits and When to Book The ACG treatment works beautifully for **colour-treated hair** that needs a shine refresh, but it also suits virgin hair when you want a high-gloss finish: - Ideal if your highlights, balayage, or full head colour looks faded or lacklustre between appointments - Particularly effective on porous or frizzy hair that struggles to hold shine - Great as a **weekly maintenance step** at home (with the retail range) or as an occasional in-salon boost - Often booked alongside **toning, root melts, or babylights** at Paris Russell to lock in colour and amplify reflectivity Because the glossing effect lasts several days rather than weeks, many clients book it before special occasions or as a mid-cycle refresh to stretch time between full colour services. ## Aftercare and Longevity To get the most from your gloss treatment, a few simple steps make a noticeable difference: - Use a **sulfate-free, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner** to preserve the smooth cuticle and prevent premature fading - Minimise high heat styling where possible, and always apply a heat protectant before blow-drying or using hot tools - The shine and smoothness from the in-salon treatment typically last **up to three days**, though ongoing use of the ACG homecare range helps maintain results between visits - If your hair is highly porous or damaged, pairing the gloss with bond-building or strengthening treatments supports longer-lasting health and vibrancy Your Paris Russell stylist will recommend the best frequency and homecare plan based on your hair's condition and your colour schedule. ## What to Expect at Paris Russell At our **Worth, Crawley** salon, the Redken ACG Treatment is offered as a £20 add-on that integrates seamlessly into your appointment.

Always sees the vision and executes to perfection!! ## Frequently Asked Questions What is the Redken ACG Treatment? It's a professional glossing service using Redken's Acidic Color Gloss formula to smooth the cuticle, boost shine, and help colour stay vibrant. The acidic pH reseals the hair surface for a reflective, glass-like finish with less frizz. How long does the treatment take? Application and processing take around 5–10 minutes. Because it's a quick add-on, it fits easily into an existing colour or styling appointment without adding significant time. How much does it cost? The Redken ACG Treatment is £20 as an add-on service at Paris Russell. Does it change my hair colour? No. The ACG gloss is non-pigment, so it enhances your existing colour and adds shine rather than altering your shade. If you want a different tone, you'll need a separate toner or colour service. How long do the results last? The glossy, smooth effect typically lasts up to three days after the in-salon treatment. Using the Redken ACG homecare range at home helps maintain shine and vibrancy between salon visits. Can I have it if my hair isn't coloured? Yes. While it's designed for colour-treated hair, the treatment also works beautifully on virgin hair to deliver high shine and smoothness. How often should I book the treatment? Redken recommend the Activated Glass Gloss for weekly use at most. Many clients book it in-salon every few weeks or before special occasions, then maintain results at home with the retail range. What should I do after the treatment? Use a sulfate-free, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, apply heat protectant before styling, and avoid harsh clarifying products. Your stylist will tailor aftercare advice to your hair's needs. Is it suitable for fine or damaged hair? Yes, the treatment suits most hair types. Fine hair benefits from the smoothness and shine without heaviness, while porous or damaged hair shows dramatic improvement in reflectivity. For very compromised hair, your stylist may recommend pairing it with bond-building treatments. Can I book it on its own or does it need to be an add-on? While it's most commonly added to a colour or styling appointment, you can book it as a standalone service if you want a quick shine refresh between full appointments.
