Excellent for curly combination hair!

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am extremely satisfied with this shampoo. Often times, as somebody with curly combination hair I noticed that my hair feels extra dry or brittle after shampooing… I was over the moon with the fact that my hair felt soft and easy to comb through after shampooing… I didn't even need conditioner in my hair to be able to get a comb through it… And that is saying a lot considering I have very thick curly hair. This felt very nice on my scalp, again it did not dry or cause irritation… My scalp felt nice and clean afterwards the ingredients work very well for my typically hard to manage hair.

Yes, I recommend this product.

This was a wonderful replacement for my old shampoo

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It does the job and more. "I received this product for free, but this is my honest and sincere review." You use when you get in the shower make sure your hair is nice and thoroughly wet apply as much shampoo as you deem necessary and lather it in. My hair came out softer less frizzy more controlled. The consistency of the shampoo was very nice and thick. I can't stand the runnier shampoos. It had a simple clean smell to it. I liked it, and would definitely purchase.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Big Difference

6 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As you can see by the photos, the before and after. There is a big difference in the look and feel of my hair. I have damaged hair from years of coloring so I am very amazed at how Redken has improved the quality completely. This is a great shampoo.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Redken For The Win!

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to receive this Redken extreme shampoo! I have medium to thick hair and I color it from time to time and use heat tools on it almost daily so my hair has definitely suffered some damage. I love this smell of this shampoo, it’s mild but still smells great. A little bit of product goes a long way which I like because this shampoo is priced moderately high. I’d say it’s totally worth the price. I have used it three times and I already see a difference in my hair! The left is before and then right is after (my hair was colored between photos)

Noticeable difference in my fragile hair!

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this shampoo for 3 weeks solid. I teach hot yoga and I run so I shampoo and condition my hair daily or sometimes more than once a day. My hair is very fine and breaks easily. Since I've been using Redken Extreme strengthening shampoo and conditioner I've noticed my hair feels stronger, thicker, and doesn't break as easy. However, it is usually frizzy when it dries. (I always let my hair air dry.) It's strong but I think it lacks some moisture, or maybe I just overwash it. The shampoo and conditioner smell great!

Damaged my hair

2 years ago
It fried my hair gave me a color chemical burn. My hair has never gotten damaged from using shades eq this was my 1st time using shades eq plus bonder . My hair strand elasticity strength is weak and breaks off and coils back crunchy , it feels like gum I used it as directed and I don’t have any medications and it felt horrible while I rinsed it with just water before I used my vegan shampoo It’s been a horrible experience, I’ve been using non permanent hair color for a couple years now to regrow natural healthy hair. And now my entire hair strand is damaged. I contacted redken directly and the rep was rude and kept talking about herself and how she’s a chemist and she burns her hair off and blah blah blah. Very rude I’m literally in shock .

No, I do not recommend this product.

If you use it correctly, it is magical

a year ago
My stylist uses this on my hair when I get my balayage lightening. Rather than paying 80.00 for a toner application only between full services, I decided to try it at home. Mixed it exactly as was described using 2 bonder colors (9V and 10GRo), 000 crystal clear, and the processing solution. Applied to clean, dry hair and left it on for 20 minutes. May hair looks like I just left the salon. It is shiny, soft and the color is exactly what I was looking for. I realize doing a home hair color job is not always recommended and can be done incorrectly, but I followed all the directions and it came out perfect.

Yes, I recommend this product.

DREADFUL PRODUCT!!

2 years ago
I used the product a week ago. It made my hair extremely, dry, fizzy and stiff -- more like straw than hair. I to correct the situation by using deep conditioner, mask, your 25 Benefits One United in an attempt to reverse the damage/condition -- no improvement. I couldn't be more upset, worried, unhappy and at loss as to how to restore my hair to its previous state..

No, I do not recommend this product.
