Anyone who has ever lightened, highlighted or bleached their hair knows that it can be extremely damaging. To combat that, Redken has created a three-step Extreme Bleach Recovery process to help revive brittle and stressed hair.
The Redken Extreme Recovery Shampoo is the first of the three. It’s made with cica to help fortify your hair by nourishing the hair follicles and scalp. Not only does this prep your hair for healthy new growth with its clarifying properties, but leaves your hair soft and shiny as well.
Both the Shampoo and Leave-in Cica Cream have a faint, warm vanilla scent, probably due to having very similar ingredients. I find that it lathers nicely without leaving my hair feeling stripped of nutrients.
After shampooing, the next stage is the Redken Extreme Bleach Recovery Lamellar Treatment. It’s a rinse-out conditioning treatment that absorbs into your hair's porosity to restore moisture, leaving your hair softer and smoother.
Use this directly after shampooing by applying 1-4 doses on mid-lengths to ends, with 10ml to a dose. On the side of the bottle you will even notice dosage markers to help you dispense the correct amount! I recommend pouring little portions of the product into your palm and then working it in as suggested. The only issue I found is that the instructions on the bottle were very tiny and hard to read due to the white font on light blue background, making it a bit more difficult to figure out.
Once massaged into your hair, you feel a warming sensation right away that means it’s working to penetrate the follicles. I like to lightly lather it into my hair; it will not feel like a shampoo or a cream, so just working it in with your fingers gently will do the trick. I felt that it made my hair softer and more manageable, but not quite as much as a traditional conditioner would, which is why I think it’s a must to follow this up with the leave-in cream.
The last part, and in my opinion the most important, is the Redken Extreme Bleach Recovery Cica Cream.
This leave-in deeply nourishes your hair from the inside out by increasing the strength of your hair between touch ups. It smells just as amazing as the shampoo and leaves my hair incredibly soft to the touch and easier to detangle, too! In my opinion, if you’re going to use the Lamellar Treatment you absolutely cannot skip out on using the highly nourishing Cica Cream.
I’ve been using this product line for about two weeks now, and have definitely seen the condition of my bleach blonde hair improve quite a lot. Not only does my hair feel stronger and easier to brush through, but it’s not as dry and brittle and therefore less hair snaps. I truly believe it is a great three-step system that helps blondes keep their healthy soft and strong, and I’ll be using it for a long time to come.
