Experience with Redken liquid mask

Anyone use the Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate liquid mask on their hair system?

I recently used it for the first time and I swear it made my system noticeably dryer.

If anyone had a similar to experience, I’d love some advice!

Navigating products on this sub has been a rough time

Finding the best products is so hard on here. There is sooo many product recommendations that finding trends on the best ones is so hard. Then when you think you find one to try, you find that multiple people had a bad use with that product.

It would be awesome if this sub could just do a long term poll and help narrow down products that seem to have favorable reviews.

The best used leave-ins, argan oils, masks, shampoo/conditioners, and any other products that contribute to the health of a system.

Is the color match the same between companies?

I am a 1B with Super and I’m looking to try Lordhair. I’m curious if I am the same with Lordhair or you guys have had mismatching experiences between the two

Help with my next system

I had a Super M104 for a full year and it was my first system. So through this last year I’ve experienced what I like and dislike.

Likes:
-The durability was awesome
-breathability thru the mono felt good in the summer/exercising. Could be better I think
- poly perimeter made it easy to remove and apply tape

Dislikes:
-Every single application the mono would bubble/wrinkle. So I had a section that always rose up instead of laying flat and it annoyed ts out of me.
-To combat the above I had to really stretch the hs when I put it back on, which made it awkward to really get consistent with seamless applications.
-Hairline was not realistic, I just could not get the lace to look natural.
-I got it with stock density (110% front, 120% the rest). After 6 months, density got its sweet spot in realistic density. So I’m guessing 90% is perfect.

I’d really like to know what your guys recommended base/models are. I’d like to do a hybrid again for the combo of easy application with breathability but I don’t want to deal with an air bubble system again.
