Redken Color Extend - Which Segment Is For You?

When it comes to choosing the right type of shampoo, conditioner or styling product for your hair, we know that it can be a very overwhelming shopping experience. With such a wide variety of brands that carry so many different products… it’s easy to gravitate towards an item that could easily be the wrong one for your hairs needs. That’s where we (the experts) come in and take care of the hard work for you!

In today’s blog we are going to focus on the brand Redken; specifically the “Color Extend” line and deciding which segment is right for you. Never heard of Redken before? That’s okay! We can take a quick peak into the behind the scenes of how the brand evolved into what is it today. But don’t worry, we promise this is going to be short.

Paula Kent - a young actress in the 1950’s and Jheri Redding - her hairdresser (which by the way formed the infamous name, Redken) started the brand with only three products and an intensive education program for hairdressers. All of the brands products are formulated based on three principles:

Protein technology (since hair is composed primarily of protein)
An acidic pH of 4.5-5.5, complementing the natural pH of hair and skin
Products recommended exclusively by licensed cosmetologists in professional salons

And because of this, Paula Kent dramatically altered the professional hair-care industry for clients and stylists today!

Okay! Jumping right into our products…

What Redken shampoo would be good for frequent use (not purple) for blonde, dry hair?
Thanks!

I recently purchased the colour extend magnetics as I’m planning to colour my hair in the next few weeks I’ve just used it on my uncoloured, but chemically straightened hair, and the shampoo was great, but the conditioner didn’t seem to work on my hair (felt weird and squeaky after). Is this because it’s uncoloured at the moment? I’d be interested to hear your thoughts as I can’t find any info online.

Love redken so MUCH!
