Redken One United

One United: Your Secret Weapon

One United isn’t just a treatment; it’s a multi-tasking miracle worker for any of your clients. “It’s my first step to every look,” shares Redken Artist Lindsey Olson. Powered by Redken’s Cationic Complex (xylose, lactic acid, and coconut oil), One United delivers serious results. It’s an exceptional cutting and detangling lotion that smoothes the hair shaft and allows for effortless comb-through and precision cutting. 

Use it alone for a quick refresh and detangling boost between clients, layer it with other treatments to amplify their effectiveness, or cocktail it with styling products for enhanced manageability and a flawless finish—the possibilities are endless!

Pro Tip: Remember, your lightest product goes on first when layering. This means that One United should usually be applied first, creating the ideal foundation for any styling service. It’s especially valuable during cutting services, where ease of combing and sectioning is paramount for achieving a precise and polished look.
