I use it because I have very fine hair. This strengthens hair without adding weight. It makes fine hair and especially thinning hair stronger and it lets the hair have the appearance of more volume and structure. This product has been around since forever. Has been improved over time but it even started out amazing. I would use this before and or after any chemical treatment. Another thing it does. Soak your nails in it. Our hair and nails are structurally different but made of about the same. It will strengthen your nails without causing brittle nails. Men really should use this product more. As we loose hair. Each hair has fewer and fewer hairs to help support a desired shape. This really helps with the strength, volume and shine. Without adding weight. When hair thins eventually it collapses. Not enough strength and hair to hold a style. If you're not quite ready for a buzz cut. Give this a try. It really does make the hair look and feel better. It's not specifically formulated for thin hair but if you use this product. It's amazing and often only limited by the user. I can't think of a single time that stronger shiny hair is bad. It does cause thin hair to feel silky soft and some men may be concerned there hair is too soft. Your fine. Just use hair gel. I see a lot of people that need this. Review: Amazing product, one of my top secret weapons for sustained hair health, penetrates to the cortex as Redken claims. - Amazing product, one of my top weapons for sustained hair health and body, does what it says and penetrates to the cortex. I have been using this product for several years and have yet to find anything better. However, it is important to understand that this is not a conditioner, it is a reconstruction product. I sometimes see negative reviews of this product on various sites, but if one reads the "bad" review comments it is usually b/c the people don't quite understand the purpose of the product or use it incorrectly. Use per the instructions for the best results, more is not better and it is definitely not a leave-in. Shampoo then wring out excess water from hair and spray on (5-10 pumps depending on length and thickness of hair) and gently massage through with fingers, concentrating on the ends and middle. Do not use a comb. Leave in about 5 minutes as the instructions specify, no longer than 10 and rinse very well, then follow up with your usual cream type conditioner or moisturizing type leave-in. Over time if you stick with this it will replenish the cortex of your hair strands with protein and keep it strong and healthy. Note that overuse of even the best quality protein reconstruction products such as this one can have the opposite intended effect and can make the hair brittle so follow instructions, rinse well, and follow with a cream type or good moisturizing leave in conditioner. I use about only once every 7-14 days or so and it keeps my fine textured color-treated and permed hair smooth and healthy. It's a 10 or the CHI silk infusion leave-in brands are both great afterwards for moisture and gives that slip that makes hair easy to comb through without breakage but doesn't weigh it down. Great for post-perm or post-color repair. If perm, give it about 5-7 days or so. Post-color can be used after the first shampoo. Only con is the bottle is poorly designed and hard to grip and spray if your hand is wet. Dry off your hand first before applying or decant in a more ergonomically designed spray bottle, then no problem. Don't expect magical results after the first use, but after a few uses it will gradually restore hair texture and health. Regular long-term use is the best. ## Features - Rinse-out treatment for damaged hair - Instantly adds strength to brittle hair - Reconstructs without adding weight - Repars hair with protein - Reconditions and adds shine ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08SSDX7FT | | ASIN | B08SSDX7FT | | Active Ingredients | salicylic_acid | | Additional Features | Rinse out treatment for damaged hair with protein reconstruction | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #47,954 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #287 in Hair Treatment Masks | | Brand Name | Redken | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (3,386) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00884486453419, 03474637134686 | | Hair Type | Damaged | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions | 1.79 x 1.79 x 7.79 inches | | Item Form | Cream | | Item Weight | 0.25 Kilograms | | Item model number | P2001800 | | Liquid Volume | 200 Milliliters | | Manufacturer | Redken | | Manufacturer | Redken | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Type Name | Bottle | | Product Benefits | Restores resilience and reinforces weak hair without adding weight, leaving hair feeling healthy and revitalized. | | Product Dimensions | 1.79 x 1.79 x 7.79 inches; 8.66 ounces | | Recommended Uses For Product | salon;spa | | UPC | 884486453419 884486456021 | | UPC | 884486453419 884486456021 | | Unit Count | 6.8 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Redken - **Hair Type:** Damaged - **Item Form:** Cream ## Images ![Extreme CAT Anti-Damage Protein Reconstructing Treatment For Distressed Hair - Strengthens & Adds Shine With Ceramides - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51uCMOwGQgL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the main ingredient in Extreme CAT?** A: Extreme CAT contains fortifying proteins as part of a Strength Complex to restore strength and shine. **Q: Who is Extreme CAT for?** A: Extreme CAT is for anyone who wants to add strength and shine to their hair, while preventing future breakage. **Q: Did the formula change in the new Extreme CAT?** A: No, this is the same formula now available in new packaging. **Q: What is the difference between the Extreme ranges?** A: Extreme is the professional solution for damaged hair.

It sure keeps my chemically treated hair strong! *by T***E on November 30, 2023* As someone with fine, chemically treated hair, I've always struggled with breakage and tangles. After trying countless shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks, I finally found a product that truly makes a difference: Redken Extreme CAT Anti-Damage Protein Reconstructing Rinse Out Treatment. This transformative treatment has been a game-changer for my hair's health and manageability. The protein-rich formula deeply penetrates the hair shaft, restoring strength and elasticity to damaged strands. After using it just a few times, I noticed a significant reduction in breakage and split ends. My hair feels noticeably stronger and smoother, making it easier to comb and style without fear of breakage. Redken Extreme CAT is not just about preventing damage; it also actively repairs existing damage. It contains a blend of strengthening ingredients, including ceramide and interlock protein, that work together to rebuild the hair's internal structure. As a result, my hair feels more resilient and less prone to breakage. Another aspect I love about this treatment is its lightweight consistency. Unlike some hair masks that can weigh down fine hair, Redken Extreme CAT leaves my hair feeling soft and bouncy without any heaviness or greasiness. Overall, Redken Extreme CAT Anti-Damage Protein Reconstructing Rinse Out Treatment has been a lifesaver for my fine, damaged hair. It has helped to strengthen my hair, reduce breakage, and make it easier to manage. If you're looking for a treatment that can truly restore your hair's health and vitality, I highly recommend giving Redken Extreme CAT a try.
