People with damaged, brittle or over-processed hair that tangles easily and breaks when brushed, whether the damage comes from colour, bleach, heat styling or everyday wear. It is a retail conditioner for home use and works across hair types.

A lot of breakage happens after the shower, when wet, weak hair is combed out. Extreme Conditioner is designed to prevent that moment from doing more damage: it detangles while depositing its 4% Strength Complex of protein, amino acids and a ceramide on the fibre. Used with Extreme Shampoo and Anti-Snap it is part of the routine Redken credits with up to 75% less breakage, so it is the natural partner for anyone already using the shampoo.

• After shampooing with Extreme Shampoo, apply the conditioner to wet hair.
• Distribute through the lengths and ends, then rinse thoroughly.
• Follow with Extreme Anti-Snap on damp hair for the complete routine.

Pros:

• Good slip for detangling fragile hair, which cuts down breakage from combing
• Adds protein and amino acids rather than only softening agents
• Works with the shampoo and Anti-Snap as a tested routine
• Litre size available for heavy users or long hair

Cons:

• Very fine hair may find it slightly heavy if applied at the roots; keep it to lengths and ends
• It is a rinse-out conditioner, so severely damaged hair will usually also need a mask or leave-in
• Contains fragrance and preservative ingredients that sensitive users may want to check
