This toner is alright love the look of the bottle the product itself is awesome but it's a bit of a bummer how you'll run out of violet toner before the conditioner but it's okay, it left my hair super soft afterwards done it's job with toning it but just like most toners you have to be careful my hair stained purple a couple times, but I think I'll stick to my usual this will be a when I feel like a change of toner purchase.

Although this product smells amazing and the packaging is great - it has one side of white condiitner and one of purple it means you don't have to buy a normal and a toning shampoo/conditioner the fact is i wouldn't use it on its on i still find myself reaching for my fudge violet shampoo you just cant beat it! while it is very moisturizing i felt it wasn't quiet enough for my thirsty blonde hair ! For $40 i wouldn't purchase again, ill stick to my $22.50 fudge shampoo and redken extreme conditioner :)
Tips: Make sure before use you dial it to 6 and pump until the product comes out and then back to 1 until both sides are coming out.
I purchased this as part of a pack which included the matching shampoo when it was on special at Christmas. While I've still got some of the shampoo the condition ran out so quickly. Didn't like the way the toner and conditioner were separate and you had to dial what level of toner you required. Also, the fact that a pump had to be pushed meant there is a lot of wasted product. I ended up cutting the bottle open to get the remaining conditioner and toner out - there was a lot at the bottom that the pump wouldn't suck up. In terms of how it made my hair feel, it was ok - the conditioner was pretty good for my normal hair. I've now started using a different Redken conditioner for blonde hair as this one is quite expensive unless you get it on special.
Having always used purple toning shampoos I thought it would be nice to try a conditioner. I liked the idea of one you could custom dial to suit your needs but it wasn't as good as I expected. My hair is extremely dry and this product wasn't moisturising enough to counter that. I had expected most blondes would have dry hair so I expected Redken would have addressed that issue. I did ask about it and was told it is for normal hair not dry. This product has one side of purple toning conditioner and one side of normal conditioner and the idea is to change the amount of each to suit how much toning your hair needs with the idea of needing less purple after a salon visit and adding more over the weeks until your next colour service. I found I ran out of toner way before the conditioner and didn't want to use the conditioner up as it wasn't going to work on my dry hair. Disappointed in this product so I won't be purchasing it again.
When i first saw this product i was excited, All in one less room taken up in the shower ect all that good stuff. What i soon realised was that i would be using the purple shampoo a lot more then the conditioner and i'd soon run out of the purple shampoo before i did the conditioner. For purple shampoo im still of the strong opinion that nothing comes close to F***E . The upside redken has always made beautiful hair products and the conditioner was beautiful after having very processed hair the conditioner felt as it revitalized it and gave it some softness.
Tips: If you dont have alot of hair or thick hair then this products for you otherwise if you have long or a lot of hair stick to separate bottles of purple shampoo & conditioner
