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.
Reviewers praise
- Above-average detangling power for a conditioner
- Pleasant fragrance that reviewers consistently notice
- Safe for color-treated hair with no adverse effects reported
Reviewers push back
- Contains dimethicone as the second ingredient, requiring occasional clarifying shampoo use
- Does not leave hair feeling greasy or heavy despite silicone content
Reviewers agree the conditioner detangles well, smells pleasant, and works safely on color-treated hair, though one notes it contains silicones that may require periodic clarifying.
Suitability for fine hair divides reviewers: one finds the shampoo well-balanced for fine hair, while the hairdresser reviewer warns the formula can be heavy and oily for fine or straight hair types
