Redirecting through htaccess is tricky sometimes, there are many ways of implementing this but there is one simple way which worked for me 

Options +FollowSymLinks 
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule (.*) [newdomain.com...] [R=301,L]

You can get more info from webmaster world forum

URIs that go through rules in an htaccess file has the leading slash stripped off, so you can't match against it. For the second rule, it's matching the / request because the first rule isn't being applied and your regex matches anything or nothing, you can fix that by changing the * to +:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domainA\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?$ http://www.domainB.com/ [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domainA\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ http://www.domainB.com/rebrand/ [L,R=301]
