Most Helpful Positive Review Instant results Super easy to use. I put it on after shampooing with Joico purple shampoo. I wringed my hair out an applied it from about 3-4 inches from my root through the length of my hair and lathered. This formula feels exactly like water. It doesn't really suds up but it almost heat activates which is kind of cool but also made me wonder what chemicals are in there to make that happen. I rinsed it out and immediately I could feel a difference. I followed with conditioner and after showering finished with my regular styling routine. I think this product did a great job of smoothing my blonde color treated hair. I'm looking forward to seeing how my hair responds with continued treatments.
Most Helpful Critical Review DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE CURLY HAIR Please do not buy this if you have curly hair. I recently got a balayage and i wanted to make it a bit healthier so i got this because of the great reviews. I saw one bad review saying it burned their hair and they lost their curls. I chose to ignore that bc most reviews were really good. I used this as instructed on the bottle and i only used 10mL (up to the first line) so not too much product. It felt really hot as soon as i applied it which I thought was odd. I proceeded to washing it off and in the shower while wet it felt soft and hydrated so i was happy. After i got out of the shower and began brushing it, tons of hair started to fall out and my hair normally doesnt shed. Then i started to notice how stringy it got, it was so fragile it kept breaking. It then started to get really frizzy and my curls were gone. I applied leave in conditioner from shea moisture to try to help and although it did help a little with moisture, my curls are basically gone it looks like i have huge heat damage and they all look crumply. I have no defined curls anymore. Extremely sad but i will work to get them back just dont make my same mistake.

min from charlotte
it works great for me but this product or any other products from the extreme bleach recovery line will not works on its own!!!! you have to buy the whole line for it to work so that would be super expensive
Thank you!!!! 5

I love this product!!!!!!
Shiny and smooth 5
Rebecca from Michigan
I had a bad bleach job 3 months ago that fried my hair. I've had some good luck with products, but this is #1. It really does feel like it fills in all the gaps in my damaged hair. When I run my fingers down a strand, it doesn't feel bumpy anymore. Hair is also glossy and thick looking, like my old hair! I'll use this until the bleach grows out and I have my healthy hair back. So happy with this product I ordered the shampoo and conditioner. I use other Redken products and I swear, they've saved me from having to completely chop almost all my length.
My Go-To Quick Fix 5
ChicagoMan from Chicago, Illinois
I have VERY straight, short, platinum bleached hair. I use mostly Olaplex products to upkeep the health of my hair. I use this when I'm running late (as I usually am) and need my hair to look amazing day of. Personally, I don't think this does well for long term repair which it is advertised for. Big HOWEVER, it is one of my holy grails and I always make sure to have it on hand because it works super fast. I ALWAYS get compliments on my hair on days I've used it. So, if you are looking for something to help your hair long term - I would look into other products. But, if you want something to add to your routine - I cannot recommend this more.
Buy it 5
MB from Pennsylvania
I have all over color treated hair for grey cover and bleached balayage mid-shaft through ends.
I used this after shampooing and with a bit of conditioner (much less than I'd normally use) and worked it from just below my ears through the ends of my hair. It combed through in the shower easily and my blow dry was the quickest and smoothest it's been in awhile. Minimal to no tangling and felt much softer and easier to work with. My all over color looks fresh and my bleached balayage looks bright and healthy.
I don't see any difference 1

My fine bleached hair does not look any different or feel any different. Waste of time and money.
One use transformed my hair with just one use 5
Amarie from Georgia
I recently bleached part of my hair and dyed after. My hair was a little damaged but mainly on the ends it was kinda bad. I washed my hair and then applied this treatment. It did get warm but the warmth didn't last long. Only a few seconds. I rinsed after working into a lather. I used the cica cream after.My hair is so smooth and silky. I am so happy with this product. I will continue to keep using this.
Be careful 3
Krys92 from Texas
Bought this and the leave in cream in the hopes of recovering my bleach damaged curls. It worked slightly and brought back some life to my hair but once I stopped using it (wanted it to be just a weekly thing) it made my hair worse than what it was before. I cut half my hair off because it was stringy and dull and it felt better but now it's back to that after this treatment.
Needed this 5
Jo from Greenwood IN
If you have split ends, dry brittle hair after bleaching your hair, this is a must have. After one use, my hair was much softer and fuller
Hair so soft 5
Jo from Greenwood IN
After having my brown hair bleached, I've been needing a product to leave my hair soft, less brittle, and manageable. After using it once, I could tell a major difference. Absolutely love this product
Holy grail finally discovered! 5
Cj858 from California
Never in a million years did I think a water-based solution would fix my dried and fried bleached hair. I have tried almost every product on the market and nothing worked until I discovered this redken water treatment. I have tried all the luxury expensive brands spending over $100 a bottle on hair masks which failed miserably. This water treatment transformed my hair in one use. The last four inches of my ends have always looked like straw and this product made it so silky soft and smooth with lots of bounce and movement. I stocked up on several bottles of this it's that amazing. It does get slightly warm on your hair but it's not hot by any means. It's a gentle warm which means it's working its magic. Trust me ladies if you have dry colored hair this is a game changer if you want soft locks.
Amazing! 4
Lilly from Pennsylvania
i have been dying my hair for years and recently i decided to bleach it and do a neon color. i had already had this product in my collection of hair products and let me just say, i wish i had used this sooner. my hair has never felt this soft even when it was my virgin hair. some reviewers have said not to use this product on curly hair so keep that in mind but it worked very well on my hair which has a slight wave to it (2b normally but a 2c on my best days). another thing to note is that it does give off a heat when applied. this did concern me when i was applying it but seeing other reviewers say they also experienced this made me not as nervous about it especially after my results! would highly recommend it for those that bleach their hair!
Love! 5
Panda from San Diego
I am in love with this product. It makes my hair so soft. I have my hair highlighted/low lighted and roots done every 5-6 weeks. This line has saved my hair. I feel like the lamellar water is a necessary step in the process. It's supposed to "feel warm" a little. It's in the description if you research this products so I'm not sure why people think it was burning their hair lol. You're also not supposed to leave it in your hair. Just lather, and rinse. It will continue to get softer and shinier. :)
Game changer!!! 5
Nikki from Las Vegas
100% recommend! The thing to remember is that what works on others may not work for you but this definitely worked for meeee, & I would say it's a must try!
I honestly got it because my hair was DAMAGED. I've dyed it a couple times but it became dead when I let someone try a relaxer on me. I have normal, fine, hair, but she said a relaxer was for anyone as long as its not on for more than 10 minutes….& when she washed my hair, no amount of hair oil, or leave in treatment, made it better. When I tell you it was dead, it was dead. My hair was breaking everytime I brushed it. I went into ulta salon to do a deep treatment and I just saw everything was Redken…redken shampoo, conditioner, heat protectant, leave in, frizz oil….. so I did some research and came across this….& GAME CHANGER. My hair is as soft as it's been!!!! The first use was okay, but the second use…. Omg I love my hair again!!! I use this with the extreme bleach leave in, and the anti-snap leave in…& When I dont use the bleach recovery, I alternate it with the acidic leave in, & ughhh I will forever keep buying redken now!! I'm shook!! My hair is the best it's ever been!
LOVE 5
Vanessa from La Crosse, WI
I have bleached my hair several times and the only times I have not seen excessive breakage are when I use this product consistently after bleaching. This product in addition to moisture masks make my bleached hair soft, smooth and looking so healthy!
Absolutely blown away 5
DJ277 from Christiansburg, VA
My hair was looking very frizzy and damaged at the ends after I got balayage done recently. This product was a lifesaver. The damage is instantly less noticeable after just one use. Pretty simple to use, but a little difficult to open (the tab on the inside of the cap was really hard to remove) but other than that 10/10 product if your hair is damaged by bleach like mine was.
SOME Results 4
bee bee bee from IA
This will soften your hair but I used much more than recommended to coat my hair so the bottle was gone in about 3 uses. I haven't noticed the softness staying after using the product so you'd have to repurchase and reuse this very regularly to have the results you want if you're looking for damage repair. 4 stars because it works to some degree, not 5 because the amount of product it takes and not repairing quite as much as I'd hoped.
Works for sun damaged hair 5
Maria from Fl
I have shoulder-length fine virgin hair that didn't do well during Florida summer so it suffered some sun damage. I'm using it 1-2 times a week and my hair never looked better, it looks like I got a treatment in the salon. My goal is to prevent split ends and grow as much length as I can, my hair is unprocessed so maybe I don't need product like this, however it works and the bottle costs less than 1 olaplex treatment and the result is pretty much the same.
Great Treatment 5
CMG from Chicago
Love this stuff - my hair is very healthy! Tip: replace the cap with a sprayer - it's easier to apply no waste!
AMAZING!!! 5
Amber :3 from Fresno, CA
So the stuff heats up when you apply it, which probably means it's working and from the first use my hair was so touchably soft!! Like I had bleached it dead and it was dry and tangly and when I tell you my hair was so soft I couldn't stop touching it all day! Even two washes not using it my hair is still almost as soft (tho I'm gonna apply more so it's softer again) but you'll definitely tell the difference the first use. Hopefully it's a long term fix!!
Only downside is be careful when applying, don't waste too much when applying in the shower cuz it's like water.
Amazing 5

Burning sensation 1
Gabby from PA
Not sure if anyone else felt like this but every time I used it, it felt like my head was burning. Strongly feel like that's not healthy for my hair so I stopped using it. Please comment if you've ever felt this??
