What reviewers say
Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?
Reviewers praise
- Argan oil complex delivers noticeable softness and shine without leaving hair feeling oily or weighed down on appropriate hair types
- Conditioner provides exceptional slip, making detangling easier and reducing breakage risk
- Pleasant, distinctive caramel-nutty scent that reviewers consistently describe as memorable
Reviewers push back
- Shampoo is less hydrating than the conditioner; several reviewers found it underwhelming on its own
- Conditioner can be difficult to rinse out fully and may be too heavy for fine or non-dry hair
- Dimethicone content can cause buildup with frequent use, particularly on fine, straight, or oily hair
Redken All Soft shampoo and conditioner earn consistent praise for softness, slip, and hydration on dry or brittle hair, with the shampoo drawing more mixed reactions than the richer conditioner.
