Most Helpful Positive Review Does the job, smells fantastic, stylist recommended I was recommended this specific product by my longtime hair stylist. I had been using Not Your Mother's and Monat brand purple shampoo+conditioner sets for a while. I thought I was doing what I was supposed to as I was regularly getting blonde touch ups in my hair, but my hair was looking and feeling fried, especially at the ends. When I told my stylist I was using the violet shampoo/conditioners 90% of the time I washed my hair she said THAT was the problem.
So I began using a moisturizing shampoo+conditioner duo instead, adding in the use of this Redken Extreme Blondage mask in place of conditioner about once a week. I could probably bump it up to 2x/week but I am happy with how it keeps the brass at bay.
I basically gravitate to this bottle when I feel I need it. I put it on in the shower immediately after shampooing, then do all of my other stuff (body wash, shave, exfoliate, whatever) then rinse it out the last thing before I get out. I have never actually towel dried my hair and applied the mask, as the instructions state, because I just don't have time for that most days. I'm sure if I followed those instructions to a T, this would be twice as effective!
Most Helpful Critical Review Don't waste your money I just had my hair highlighted and the highlights are very yellow. I used the shampoo in this line hoping it would tone it down even a little bit.. I left it on for ten minutes, rinsed and.. it did nothing .. tried it again for twenty more minutes, rinsed it out and it still didn't change AT ALL. I tried using this color extend mask. I left that on for 35 minutes. Nothing. This is junk.. way too expensive and for NO results? I could have had a stylist slap on a toner for the cost of these two together. Please make a better product. It's going back!

Holy Grail - BUY IT 5
Miranda the blonde from Tampa, FL
I've tried purple shampoos and conditioners. The mask is where it's at. Using this for the full 10min and rinsing with cool water was a night to day transformation. Apparently my hair was worse than I thought. It definitely lightened me up though I couldn't really tell till I dried it. My hair turned out super soft too!
Brightened my grey hair! 5
RRoxi from New Jersey
I have tried other purple hair products for my thick, curly grey hair. They were very drying. This product gave me the brightness I was looking for. My hair needs a heavier conditioner. It also gave my a nice smooth look when I wore it straight.
Love this stuff!! 5

Used this on my golden blonde hair as it was becoming a bit brassy.. worked perfectly and smells amazing!
Not sure if it works 2
Em from Arkansas
I've used this on my hair about 5 or 6 times now and I haven't noticed much or any of a difference in the color besides that my hair is softer and smells good when I get out of the shower.
Wow 5
Katie from Sonoma County
I just used this mask for the first time last night. I'm 32 and have been a few steps down from platinum my entire life, so I'm very familiar with almost every purple shampoo, conditioner, leave in, toner, mask.. etc. I was using Purology purple shampoo which is a nice product, but ultimately drying. I just cut 5 inches off of my length, so I really don't want any extra damage or dryness. This mask made it look like I had gotten a toner or glaze all in about 7 minutes. I was amazed. I dampened my hair, ,used a conditioning mask, rinsed, shampooed, towel dried, applied the mask EVENLY- and then combed through w/ a wide tooth comb avoiding my scalp. Since I wore gloves it was easy to apply a little extra to the front money pieces for some targeted highlights. It says to leave on for 5-10 minutes, and this is definitely not one to leave on for the whole shower, shave, etc. I did a total of about 7-8 minutes and that was absolutely the perfect amount of time for this to be effective. After I rinsed my hair I added some moisture back to it, and prepped as usual and was amazed at the tone and the shine. This is an amazing product if you use it the correct way; and I used about a quarter sized amount for my entire head, so this should last a pretty long time! If you're blonde, you should try this!
Obsessed 5
Stephpesos from Boston
It's the best purple mask I've ever used, and I feel like I've used all of them.
Works great! 5
Claudia from Austin
I use this in the shower after I shampoo. Works so well and turns my hair a perfect ashy tone. Love this product. < 3
Great mask for bright blondes! 5
ARM from Wisconsin
I love this mask! I use it twice a week and it's amazing! I get complimented on my hair a lot since using this and the shampoo. Now a staple in my haircare.
Wonderful product..it really works! 5
Debbie from Ponte Vedra Bch. FLA
This is easy to use, does not stain anything & leaves the damaged hair feeling & looking much better.
The best mask EVER 5
Hannah from SC
This mask has absolutely blown me away. I have dark brown hair with neutral blonde balayage, and I like to stay more on the ashier side. This mask is the best stuff I have tried- and I've pretty much tried all blue and purple hair masks that Ulta has to offer. I just canceled my next glaze appointment because it's unnecessary now after using this mask. I am so happy that I can now go longer than 4 weeks without having to go to the salon to get the warmth toned down on my hair. Please never stop making this!!!!!
This is the best toning product I have ever used. 5
Justbuyit from Capitola
I have used so many purple shampoos, conditioners, drops, and masks.
I have used Wella Color Charm, I have tried mixing a drop of purple hair dye in conditioner, I have tried so many things to get the yellow out of my naturally ashy hair with heavy highlights.
I've over toned and had gray hair, I've used products that did not do enough and left me with yellow, brassy hilights.
This is the best product for toning. It never makes my hair gray or purple, but it's pigmented enough to really make a difference.
I will buy this as long as they make it.
Another bonus is that it's super moisturizing and I don't need to use another conditioner as with most toning products like this.
This Purple Hair Mask is Awesome!!! 5
lori_gee from Orange Park, FL
Redken color extend blondage Vb hair mask. All I can say is wow!!! It only takes ten minutes to get wonderful results from this. I have tried other purple shampoos and conditioners in the past and they don't do what this does. It got rid of all my gold brassiness and left my hair with the frosty white blonde highlights that i love!!! I highly reccomend this toning mask because it does even what my hairdresser cannot do. It makes me happy with my hair now!!!
I love this product so much. 5
Fee from Michigan.
100% recommend this product if you have dry hair, and don't want to use purple shampoo/conditioner. This Hair mask is the way to go.

Best at-home brass-reducing treatment I've found! 5
Bridget from Warren, PA
Cannot stress enough how great this product is! The best brass-reducing purple treatment I've ever used. It's a bit pricier than I'd like, but I'm surprised at how long it lasted me for being such an average-sized bottle. I ran out about a month ago and I can't stop thinking how yellow my hair looks lol. I tried to switch it up and try something different and let's just say, I just added it to my cart. If you're a blonde and are dealing with yellow, orange, brassy hair, you'll love this. My one and ONLY gripe with it is that after you wash your hair, you have to get out of the shower, towel dry your hair, apply the mask, let is sit for 10mins, then get back in the shower and rinse. I have to wash my hair in the morning so doing that process before work is time-consuming, but worth it in the end. Overall, thank you, Redken! A+ (I actually just added this to my most recent Youtube video as one of my favs!)

Great product 5
KJ from Minnesota
I bought this mask to get the yellow out of my blonde highlights. The shampoos just weren't doing it. After one use I could really tell the difference. Love it!
So far, so good 5
Blond-chic from NJ
I am a natural gray-blonde. I colored my hair for the first time and noticed that my hair was a bit brassy. I used this as directed, but I did leave it on for 10 minutes. I'm very happy with my results.
Keeps the brass at bay 5
Debbie D from New Jersey
My stylist recommended I mix the mask with my regular conditoner (I use Color Extend formula), and use it every other wash when color becomes brassy
Worked Exactly As Promised!! 5
Kate from Albuquerque
After a trip to the hot springs, my blonde highlights were yellowish and super dry. I already knew from using other Blondage products that this stuff would smell amazing, so I decided to give it a try. I applied it generously to dry hair, blonde/ends only, and left it on for 10 minutes w/o shampooing afterward. The brassiness is gone, and my hair is smooth and silky again :) This will NOT turn your hair purple, but it will revive blonde highlights. And yes, it smells incredible!
I would buy this product again and again 5
