Redken Extreme Shampoo for Damaged Hair, 250ml — Protein-Enriched Strengthening & Repair

Designed for distressed, brittle or chemically and heat-compromised hair, Redken Extreme Shampoo uses the brand's Strength Complex—amino acids and arginine—plus citric acid to cleanse while rebuilding hair structure. The balanced, protein-rich formula targets weakened areas from root to tip, improving manageability and restoring a soft, shiny finish without weighing hair down. When used as part of the Extreme system, it helps reduce the visible effects of breakage and prepares hair for styling and ongoing maintenance.

How does this shampoo rebuild weakened hair?

Redken Extreme Shampoo delivers protein and targeted ingredients that temporarily reinforce hair fibers where they are most fragile. Amino acids and arginine work to fortify the hair’s internal structure while citric acid helps smooth the cuticle for improved shine and slip. Regular use replenishes strength lost through chemical services and thermal styling, reducing the appearance of split ends and snapped strands.

• Strength Complex with amino acids and arginine to reinforce fiber integrity
• Protein-enriched formula that targets damaged zones
• Citric acid conditions and smooths the cuticle for shine
• pH-balanced cleansing to avoid additional stress

Will it clean my hair without stripping moisture?

This shampoo is formulated to remove dirt, oil and product buildup while being mindful of hair’s moisture balance. Its gentle surfactant system cleans without aggressively stripping natural oils, and conditioning agents help maintain softness. As a result, hair feels clean but not overly dry, making it suitable for regular use on damaged hair.

• Gentle cleansing base that removes buildup efficiently
• Conditioning ingredients preserve softness and manageability
• Balanced formulation limits over-drying of fragile strands
• Works well as the first step in a repair-focused routine

How should I use Redken Extreme Shampoo for best results?

Apply to wet hair, lather gently and rinse thoroughly—repeat if hair is very dirty or product-laden. For optimal repair, follow with Redken Extreme Conditioner or a targeted leave-in treatment from the Extreme range; consistent use maximizes strengthening benefits. Avoid harsh towel rubbing; instead, blot hair dry and use low-heat styling to preserve improvements.

• Wet hair fully, work a small amount into lather, then rinse
• Repeat shampooing only if needed for heavy buildup
• Pair with Extreme Conditioner or treatments for complete care
• Use gentle drying and low-heat styling to protect gains

What types of damage can this shampoo help address?

Redken Extreme Shampoo is formulated to help with a broad range of everyday hair damage, including breakage from brushing, heat styling, chemical services, and environmental stressors. It focuses on strengthening compromised hair fibers and smoothing the surface for a healthier look and feel. While it improves resilience and appearance, combine it with professional advice and complementary products for severe or chronic damage.

• Repairs and strengthens hair weakened by heat styling and chemical treatments

It works for all hair textures and is especially useful for clients who regularly color, bleach, heat-style or otherwise stress their hair. Use it as part of a consistent repair routine along with conditioners and treatments from the Redken Extreme family to maintain strength, reduce breakage and improve hair texture over time.
