Choose from Tweed Fauve (warm golds and browns), Tweed Cuivré (rich metals), Tweed Pourpre (pinks and mauves) and Tweed Brun et Rose (cool browns and beiges).

Redken has had a makeover. As of September 2022, all existing product lines have been converted to new packaging made from 94 per cent recycled plastic (minus the pump and cap). Plus, all production now takes place in a carbon-neutral factory. The first brand-new product to get the sustainable treatment is the Beach Spray, a lightweight spritz sans salt that creates volume, body and movement for that perfect just-walked-off-a-beach vibe.
