Most Helpful Positive Review Bleached & Damaged Hair? Best Remedy! This product was a lifesaver during this pandemic! I recently got my hair done and was transitioning to a blonde from a dark brown base. Unfortunately, it did not come out the way I wanted and my wavy thin hair was damaged from the lightening process. I was introduced to this product by another hairstylist and bought this shampoo among the other products (the oil & leave-in cream). The shampoo was a bit heavy for my hair, so I would recommend using only a small amount. This did wonders for my hair and I noticed the results immediately! My hair did not feel like straw and was not tangled as usual. I also noticed my waves were more defined as well. It is crucial to use all three of the products together for the best results. If you are contemplating this purchase, please know its a great investment!!!
Most Helpful Critical Review Smells horrible I usually really like Redken products. The All Soft line is great, but I recently had my hair bleached & it was breaking off. So, I tried this Bleach Recovery line. The smell of the products I bought (shampoo, lamellar water & CICA cream) is nauseating to me. It's a HEAVY, coconut-y, musky smell that doesn't dissipate. Had I been able to smell these in a store before buying, I wouldn't have, but with COVID-19, I took a chance with them buying online. These products also weigh my hair down & make it oilier. I can normally go 4 days between shampoos, but I have to wash after 3 days with this (not the best thing for already damaged hair). It takes several shampoos to get rid of the smell of these products in my hair. Worst of all, I don't think they're all that beneficial to my hair - I can't tell much improvement. I bought sample sizes of shampoo & cream (the lamellar water didn't offer that size) so fortunately I'm not out a lot of money, but I hate that I spent any money at all on this line.

I had an over bleaching episode. I went from shiny healthy hair to hay over night. This shampoo along with the other products in this line brought my hair back to life in one wash! It's not perfect yet but I'm noticing a difference in just two washes!!!
This shampoo is wonderful 5
Lucky from South Carolina
I use this along with the matching conditioner. Creates shine & bounce.
I will keep using 4
Lara Lou from Chicago IL
I love the idea of this shampoo. I've been using it for about 4 months. I wash my fine hair 2-3 times a week. It feels gentle on my hair. It smells good. It gets my hair clean and my hair feels soft. I don't know if it actually works at preventing breakage. My hair still gets damaged from highlights. Is there less damage and breakage? Maybe. But not enough to notice a huge difference. I don't use the full system (the recommended conditioner) but maybe I'll try that too.
Don't even need conditioner 5
Krystal from New Jersey
This shampoo is amazing! I kept going between brands and gave this a try since it was on sale, so glad I did! My hair is soft and smooth, I don't even need to use conditioner. Definitely recommend giving it a try.
Winner! 5
Rebecca from Michigan
My hair was recently bleach fried and I have been doing trial and error for four months trying to "repair" it. I tried the Extreme Strength line but my hair hated it—maybe too much protein for my particular hair? This bleach recovery line however has been a lifesaver. The main thing it helped for me was breakage. I completely stopped seeing broken bits of hair in the sink, the shower, my brushes. I can't believe it. I used to pull out what felt like chunks of hair in the shower which was super depressing, but now hardly any comes out, just regular shedding. Makes my hair very soft, and more manageable. I wish I had used this from the beginning!
I was surprised with how soft it made my hair 5

I bleach my hair more times than I care to admit. I change my bright colors often. I bought this shampoo to help with damage from the bleach. This shampoo made my hair so soft. Highly recommend.
Didn't do anything for me 1
Not too happy from Maryland
I bought this along with the whole line of bleach recovery and I felt none of the products truly helped. All soft mega is 10x preferable but now with the acidic bonding line, that one is 1000x better. My hair is truly healthier than ever.

Lexie from Claremont CA
I recently bleached my hair I'm a natural Burnette and I bleached it twice with a 3 month period in-between, this last one really damaged my hair so since i was already using the Redken color extend magnetics conditioner. I thought I'd try and shampoo and found this one. I've used it twice so far I really like it. my hair is soft and and better manageable since using it.

I love this entire set! Shampoo smelled amazing and is very very nourishing. My hair is dry and brittle but after using this it has truly helped!
Bleached hair 3
Ashley from Virginia
I bleach my hair about every 2 months because I keep purple hair and this line of products works ok. I did notice some drying even though this line is recommended for bleached hair and reducing damage. Maybe it would be better for someone who didn't bleach their whole head of hair and just highlighted? I'm not sure.

I love the acid bonding conditioner so I thought I would try this shampoo for my blonde hair. After one use I noticed immediately that my hair was dry, frizzy, and split ends were noticeable.
GREAT SHAMPOO FOR BLONDE HAIR 5

GREAT FOR BLONDE HAIR
For a good soapy lather for blondes 5
Arie from Las Vegas, NV
I've always liked the Redken brand & after seeing this for blondes and since I color treat my hair I wanted to try it. I know living in Las Vegas & bleaching my hair it needs intense repair & hydration. I love this shampoo. A little bit goes a long way and has a great soapy lather to really cleanse your full scalp and helps me with cleaning the sweat from when I do hot yoga. The scent is pretty lovely too and I've noticed it does not dry out my hair at all. I love how soft & conditioner my hair is and this product is really affordable and the bottle size has lasted me over a few months now.
Wonderful 5
BzzEm from USA
Redken line of products for bleach damaged hair are amazing. Highly recommend in the dry summer heat even if you don't dye your hair. The shampoo is gentle enough for daily use when washing hair.

Great damage shampoo 5
Amy from Virginia
I frequently bleach my hair, about 3-4 times a year and I have done so for 5 years. I have tried countless shampoos for damage repair in this time. This one has helped my hair look healthier and more well controlled. A little bit goes a long way so you don't have to use a ton to get a decent lather which I like.
buy with redken all soft conditioner 5
Holly from Oregon
Good for highlights. I have tried so many things, this with redken all soft conditioner are my go to now. Buying at least one more of each while ulta having jumbo sale. Thank God I found something I was about to give up. I was using redken color magnetics for a while to extend color and it messed my scalp up. this is better with all soft for highlighted hair. Wonderful luxurious lather I love it. Nice fruity clean smell. I have long dirty blonde hair with half highlights. My hair doesn't look fried anymore. I also used its a 10 leave in conditioner wow works good with these. I recommend and never leave reviews.
