Short answer: yes. RedOne is the best-value strong-hold styling range we sell, and it is what half the barbershops in Adelaide have on the counter. It is a Turkish professional barber brand built around the Full Force aqua wax in coloured 150ml tubs, backed by a wall of aftershave colognes, powders, gels and beard oils at prices that make salon brands look silly. We stock more than 200 RedOne products at MV Hair & Beauty in Kilburn, and this is what actually sells.
What RedOne is good at
- Hold. The aqua waxes are strong-hold, high-shine and water-based, so they comb through, restyle and rinse out with water. Nothing at the price holds harder.
- Barbershop finish. The 400ml colognes and 1L shaving gels are sized for a station, which is why barbers buy them, and why home users who want the barbershop smell buy them too.
- Choice. Ten aqua and gel-wax colours, five matte options, a powder, a spray, a dozen colognes and three beard oils. There is a RedOne for every finish.
Where it is weaker: if you want a natural, product-free look, the aqua waxes are too glossy. Go to the matte side of the range, covered in our RedOne gel wax vs aqua wax vs matte guide.
The best RedOne products, in the order they sell
1. Powder Wax Cloud 20g
Our best-selling RedOne product outright. Powder Wax Cloud is a matte styling powder: a pinch at the roots of dry hair gives instant volume, dry texture and strong hold that reworks all day. How to use it properly is in the Powder Wax Cloud guide.
2. Aqua Hair Wax Full Force Red 150ml
The original. Red is strong hold and high shine with maximum control, the default RedOne for slick, structured styles. Blue and Orange follow it in sales; the differences between the colours are in our RedOne wax colour guide.
3. Aftershave colognes, 150ml
Six of our top fifteen RedOne sellers are colognes. The 150ml pump sprays are the ones home users buy: Amber (warm) is the best seller, then Gold, Undulation, Silver Thunderbolt, Thunderbolt Natural, Volcanic and Old Marine. All are cooling post-shave sprays with a lasting fragrance.
4. Aqua Hair Gel Wax Full Force Black
A gel-wax hybrid: the control of the aqua wax in a gel consistency that spreads easily and sets glossy. Black comes in 50ml and 150ml; Violetta is the 50ml alternative.
5. Creative Hair Clay Wax 100ml
The matte pick. Clay Wax gives firm control and flexible texture with a natural, shine-free finish, for textured crops and messy styles.
6. Barbershop colognes, 400ml
The station bottles: Lemon, Tobacco, Caribbean and Citrus. Same cooling finish, nearly three times the volume.
7. Creative Fiber Matte Wax
Strong control with a fibrous, pliable texture and matte finish, for volume and definition. In 150ml and 100ml.
8. Beard oils
Argan, Sweet Almond and Keratin beard oils, 50ml each, all lightweight leave-ins that soften and condition. Argan is the one barbers reach for.
9. Matte Green and Quiksilver
Full Force Matte Green is the strong-hold wax without the shine; Quiksilver is the lightweight aqua wax for sleek, defined styles.
10. Shaving gels, 1L
Fruits turns from clear gel to creamy lather; Silver stays clear so you can see the line you are shaving. Both in tall 1L bottles for the station.
11. Ultra Hold Styling Spray
The finishing spray: fast-drying firm hold with volume and shine that sets the aqua wax so it survives the day. Ultra Hold.
