Product Of The Week; Redken CAT Treatment

Product of the week has to be The Redken Extreme CAT treatment!

"Instantly replenish your hair's moisture levels with Redken Extreme CAT Protein Treatment. Redken's patented taurine technology and cationic proteins help reconstruct and fortify your damaged hair leaving you with soft, silky locks.

Redken's 3D Repair Complex builds long lasting strength and conditioning into your hair leaving it healthier and more manageable. The Extreme CAT Protein Treatment is specially formulated to provide a triple line of defence; proteins penetrate deep into the core of your hair helping build internal strength; ceramide enters the cuticle layers to reinforce the structure and help repair any damaged areas; and natural lipids, like those found naturally in your hair help to resurface your hair leaving the cuticles shiny, smooth and protected."  (www.lookfantastic.com)

I used this treatment on my Ombre client and then let them carry on using the product. I advised them to use the product twice a week and found that when looking at the same hair 3 weeks, the results speak for themselves.

Using this product is very simple! After shampooing your hair, simply apply the product to the hair and leave on for 3-5 minutes then rinse off.When i used this product it was on dry hair which was sticking together at the ends. It was generally over processed hair. Now looking at the hair 3 weeks later it has become stronger, it can be brushed through easily, drys in half the time as it did and doesn't have the 'chewing gum' like texture. The hair looks soft, shiny and overall, healthy hair.

This product can be bought from most salons who stock the Redken range; for example one salon which stocks this is called Supercuts. You can find this salon in most towns in the UK. Supercuts is where i bought the product from and i paid £16.95 and the product lasted roughly a month for my client. The product was used generously too! When u compare the Before and After of the hair,  CAT treatment is an absolute bargain for the price when you see how well it restored the hair back to healthy and shiny looking. This is why i called it 'Miracle in a bottle'!

 Now with all the positives of this product,  i do have one small criticism if you can call it that. Its the shape of the bottle. I believe people who have this product will also agree with me that this makes it very difficult to apply to yourself in the shower due to the pump spray and shape of bottle, it simply just slips out of your hand. Although this is a slight criticism, don't let the shape put you off as its the product within the bottle which works wonders.

Overall, I am very pleased with the results so far (3 weeks in). I would say however you would benefit from purchasing a good conditioner to go with this product as it just makes your hair feel that bit nicer when u come to dry and style it.

 I would recommend this product to anyone who's hair is looking for some "TLC" due to heat/colour damage or split ends.
