Question:
Just wondering if the Redken extreme fortifier conditioner can be used every time you wash your hair. I'm not sure because of the proteins... I don't want to over do it!

Answer:
what my hairdresser suggested was to use the all soft shampoo and conditioner and then the extreme resue force and antisnap...cos too much protein will make your hair worse. i've been doing this combo for a while now (and my hair is extremely processed and damanged!) and so far its looking good
i'm not sure if i actually answered your question but that's my two cents anyway!

Answer:
Thanks darasun
At the moment I am using Redken all soft shampoo every second day and the clarifying Redken shampoo in the white bottle once a week. I have been using the all soft conditioner but I am running out so I thought I would try the extreme conditioner. I would be using it every second day though and I am not sure if this is a good idea because it is "fortifying" and contains protein...
I am clueless when it comes to hair products and how much protein is too much...

Answer:
I have found that using the Extreme too frequently makes my hair quite brittle, so I maybe use it once a week which works for me. But I'm not a hairdresser or an expert that's for sure.

Answer:
Extreme has never done the brittle thing to my hair but of course it may not agree with every ones hair.
Here is reply as I asked about brittleness possibly occurring.
Dear Ms ********,
Thank you for your inquiry in regard to Redken's Extreme Products and the amount of Protein you are applying to your hair.
Many years ago when Protein was first introduced into the market it was considered that with continual use it would over strengthen the hair and have an adverse effect on the hair. Due to our Research and technology it has allowed us to overcome this by adding other ingredients we can now safely use Protein with spectacular results.
Hopefully this will give you a little more of an understanding of the range.
The Extreme range contains
Proteins to strengthen the hair, it will only absorb what it needs.
Ceramides that will help to resurface the hair and add a moisture balance.
Lipids to give the hair suppleness.
Extreme CAT is designed to place linkages between the protein chains that hold the hair together through the use of 2 amino acids, "Arginine" and "Taurine" and from your description on your email this was prescribed to you in the correct manner.
Once you feel that the strength has been restored to your hair you can alternate between using Extreme Rescue Force and Extreme CAT every 4 to 6 shampoo's. At other times when you are shampooing use Extreme Shampoo and Conditioner then apply Extreme Anti Snap for added protection when blow drying.
I hope that this information has answered your concerns, Thank you for your use of Redken 5th Avenue NYC products.
Kind Regards

Answer:
Thanks for your replies girls! Miffny, thanks for passing on your email

Answer:
I hope that email helped a bit
I use Extreme shampoo/conditioner twice a week & do a CAT treatment followed by Rescue Force mixed with a deep moisture treatment & I have to say I am pretty certain if I did not do this the hair disasters I have had the past 2 years I would be bald!
