Best reconstruction product.
This is the best reconsructor made but most people don't understand what it is or what it is supposed to do. 1) Apply to CLEAN Hair (use a Clairifying or Non-Conditioning Shampoo) 2) Use enough product to produce a FOAM - If it dosen't Foam you didn't use enough. (OR your Shampoo had too many Condi...

WHAT DID THEY DO ????!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have used this on and off since my early teens (25 years) especially during the years my hair was processed - color, body wave or both. Always worked great. Don't need it very often since I'm wearing my long straight lt brown hair natural, but it's to my waist right now and needed some damage contro...

Great for bleached hair
I have highlighted hair and sometimes use heat which makes my hair get gummy, tangled, and lackluster. Using this a few times adds protein back in and drastically improves the texture of my hair and rebuilds strength. Its a heavy treatment: If you dont have damage and need protein, this will make your hair hard and brittle. Like others have said, its kind of hard to grip the bottle and spray with wet hands, but very easy to use otherwise.
This is a game changer product

I have been using this spray along w the shampoo and conditioner to this extreme line. My highlighted hair for years was dry and did have some breakage. Once I started this, my hair became strong and didn't break or be frizzed in areas. I highly tell anyone with bleach treated hair…this is a must. I little spray and let it sit about 10/15 minutes and rinse it off before blow drying my hair.
Did absolutely nothing
I was hoping this would help my loose curls tighten back up into ringlets again, but it did nothing. I gave it three tries, using a ton, clarifying first, adding a heat cap... nada. Returning.

This protein is great for damaged/bleached or permed hair. I use it when I wash my hair, put conditioner over it then rinse it out after a few minutes. It makes your hair stronger/bouncier.
Altered product
Changed packaging and ingredients. Smells horrible. No way am I putting this on my air. I've used this product for over 10 years. Seriously Redken just why? Will be looking for another repair product from another line.
