Redken Extreme CAT Anti-Damage Protein Reconstructing Rinse-Off Treatment

I found that committing heavily to this product did show results. I say committing heavily because I found that I needed to use it as a two step program - first this product to strengthen, then a heavy moisturing mask straight after to negate the straw-like feeling that this CAT product gave me. The combination did strengthen and soften my hair over the medium term, however, it was a time …Read more

I have been using redken extreme CAT protein treatment for many years! A hairdresser recommended it and it's really helped my highlighted hair. I find I go through spurts of using it and not using it and really see an improvement in my hair when I do. I think I end up stopping using it due to the slight inconvenience of needing to let it sit on the hair for a little while (kind of a pain but …Read more

Looooove! This has helped my hair A LOT! Only about two months ago I couldn't even do a cold blow dry on my hair without it curling and frizz itself up and be super dry. But then I went to a good hair salon which recommended me this and my hair is so good now. Now I can even do a normal blow dry even though my hairdresser recommended me to do a cold one just to be on the safe safe (there´s …Read more

love this product! my hair is extremely damaged and fried from years of chemical abuse plus a recent bleach and dye job where the colorist left them on for too long. im in the process of regaining my hair health with Olaplex plus redken cat and anti snap products. i use the cat (with 5 mind steaming) after washing off the olaplex treatments, followed by a deep conditioning treatment and I do this …Read more

I had to stop by and give a shout out to this stuff. I used to use it back in the day when I was bleaching my hair regularly. Stopped using it somewhere along the line and had resigned myself to the fact that my hair was just going to be a lifeless fuzzball if I wanted to get highlights. When I think about all the money I've spent on products I get a little bitter that not a single one of …Read more

also I should also mention that you must use a great moister rich conditioner with this and rinse well. Too much protein without moister = horrible crunchy hair with this stuff. Good luck.

I use the whole Redken Extreme line but this is the only product I'm not sure about. My hair feels sort of stiff afterwards and the spray bottle is awkward to use

I noticed that this product appears to have a dup or a previously released version of the product on this site. This review is for the product currrently listed on the Redken site as the "Extreme CAT - Strengthening Hairspray" with IPN in the ingredient list (Interlock Protein Network). It's not a "hairspray" meant for styling hold; it's a protein treatment you put …Read more

I have baby fine hair. I use this as a thickener or a root lifter on dry hair. It only take a little but it really adds body. Too much makes my hair flyaway. I wrote an in depth article about it and other products I like at http://www.anniesnuggets.com/2011/01/farrah-hair.html

I use this as some reviewers has described it should be used if you want salon-results;
3 x 4 minutes (apply at let be in four minutes then rinse and apply again and let be in four minutes - 3 times)
But I believe that my thin hair would be better of if I only use it 2x4 times, cause when I tried it 3x4 minutes my hair was a mess even after 2 hair treatments and conditiner. …Read more
