For anyone whose hair looks dull and wants more shine without weight, on any texture from fine and straight to thick and curly. Redken positions it for clients with uncoloured hair or with demi-permanent or permanent colour who want to keep colour looking vibrant and reflective. It is a retail finishing product for daily home use; no professional training is needed.

Many shine oils trade gloss for heaviness. Naked Gloss was built to avoid that: low-viscosity silicones melt into the hair without a heavy coating, while apricot kernel oil, fatty acids and triglycerides nourish and smooth the cuticle so it reflects more light. The result is a glassy, colour-friendly shine with heat protection, in a pump you can reach for every day.

1. Pump a small amount into your palms.
2. Distribute evenly through the lengths and ends of damp or dry hair.
3. Add more only if needed, then style as desired.
4. Use daily, as needed.

Pros

• High shine with a dry, non-oily touch; 90% of testers saw no visible residue
• Works on damp hair before styling and on dry hair to finish
• Heat protection up to 230°C / 450°F
• Pump dispenser makes it easy not to overuse

Cons

• Silicone-based, so it is not a fit for anyone following a silicone-free routine
• Fragranced, including common allergens such as linalool and coumarin
• Very fine hair can still look flat if too much is applied
• A shine and smoothing finisher, not a repair treatment for badly damaged hair
