Redken is a pioneer in the realm of professional hair products and was founded almost 60 years ago. The brand still leads the way in creating innovative haircare which tackles every hair problem. The company was founded by hairdresser Jheri Redding and actress Paula Kent, hence the name 'Red-ken'. Redken pioneered the 'Scientific Approach to Beauty' and radically changed professional salons by introducing the concept of protein reconditioning and developing new (patented) products with protein.
