Redken Is Official Hair Care Partner of the 2026 Grammys

The hair brand’s new Acidic Bonding Concentrate Hair Bandage Balm takes center stage at music’s biggest night.

Like most hair care brands, Redken aims to make strands sing and dance. Now, it will be on music’s biggest night.

Redken is the official hair care partner of the 68th Annual Grammy Awards.

‘Easy As ABC’

Throughout Grammy Week, Redken will celebrate music, creativity and high-performance hair with immersive experiences that spotlight the latest innovation from its best-selling Acidic Bonding Concentrate (ABC) franchise: the new Acidic Bonding Concentrate Hair Bandage Balm.

“The Grammys represent the pinnacle of creative excellence, a value that sits at the heart of Redken,” said Mounia Tahiri, general manager of Redken. “Partnering with the Recording Academy to introduce Hair Bandage Balm felt like a natural fit, allowing us to champion emerging voices and bring our professional expertise and innovative products to the cultural moments that matter most.”

Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Hair Bandage Balm, which launched on Jan. 25, is a quick-absorbing, non-greasy leave-in treatment that acts like a bandage for damaged ends. Designed for use on clean, damp hair to treat ends or on dry hair to refresh styles, tame slick-backs, ponytails, and braids, the Balm is powered by an 8% Bonding Care Complex with Citric Acid and Madecassoside to deliver 5 times less breakage in just one use while relinking broken bonds deep within the hair fiber and visibly sealing split ends by up to 96%. The formula smooths even the most stressed, damaged ends and protects against heat up to 450°F, leaving hair softer, stronger and revived.

Happy Endings

The brand will activate across key Grammy moments, bringing Redken’s professional expertise directly to artists, creators, and industry insiders. Highlights include:

Grammy House (Jan. 28 – 31). A multi-day, immersive destination celebrating music, culture and creativity, Grammy House is designed for fans, members, music creators, industry insiders, and rising leaders to bring the energy of Grammy Week to life through unforgettable moments and experiences. Within, Redken will host its own “Happy Endings Haircare Lounge,” at Grammy House this year – an exclusive ABC-inspired destination where guests are immersed in the world of Acidic Bonding Concentrate. Inside, Redken “balm-tenders” will offer expert tips and touch-ups designed to visibly seal split-ends and deliver hair’s ultimate happy ending.

Grammy U (Jan. 30): A first-of-its-kind experience at this year’s Grammy House , Grammy U is a three-stage music festival showcasing live performances from Grammy U members and emerging artists, including special appearances by Grammy nominees Durand Bernarr and Los Wizzards. Throughout the evening, immersive activations will be dedicated to uplifting and celebrating the next generation of music creators and industry professionals.

Taking the spotlight alongside the brand is Redken Global Brand Ambassador and Grammy winner Sabrina Carpenter, who stars in the campaign for Hair Bandage Balm. This year, Carpenter is nominated for six awards, including Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for “Man’s Best Friend,” along with Record of the Year, Song of the Year, best Pop Solo Performance and Best Music Video for “Manchild.” She is also scheduled to perform.
