Coiled hair can be especially fragile, which makes Redken Flash Lift Pods Bonder Inside a welcome safeguard for fragile strands. “When lifting curls, take your time,” advises Leysa Carillo @leysahairandmakeup. “I mix a new batch of lightener every 30 minutes and take care to saturate the hair thoroughly. It’s best to use 10- or 20-volume developer and let the hair process slowly and safely. And remember, highly coiled textured hair will absorb more lightener than straighter textures, so you will probably find yourself using more product.”
No mess, no dust, no overmixing—just healthy, strong, shiny lightened hair, regardless of texture. No wonder Ramirez calls Redken Flash Lift Pods Bonder Inside a game changer!
