Redken Extreme CAT: Protein Reconstructing Treatment, 250 ml

Extreme CAT is a professional-grade, protein-rich spray treatment that provides immediate repair to the hair's core. Utilizing Redken's Strength Complex, it delivers a concentrated dose of proteins and ceramides to depleted strands, effectively "plugging" the gaps in damaged hair cuticles. This spray-on formula is designed to be used between shampooing and conditioning, acting as a structural primer that boosts hair strength by up to 75% without the heavy buildup of a traditional cream mask. It is the definitive solution for hair that feels "mushy," overly stretchy, or prone to snapping.

Features

• Strength Complex: Infused with Protein and Citric Acid to help strengthen the hair from the inside out and balance the hair's pH.
• Taurine & Arginine: Essential amino acids that help stimulate the scalp and reinforce the hair fiber’s resilience.
• Spray-On Delivery: A liquid format that ensures deep, even penetration into the hair cortex without weighing down fine or thinning hair.
• Cationic Surfactants: Help to smooth the cuticle surface for increased shine and improved manageability.

Benefits

• Anti-Breakage Power: Significantly increases the hair's resistance to snapping during brushing and styling.
• Pre-Color Prep: Prepares the hair for chemical services by creating a more uniform, strong foundation for color or lightener.
• Immediate Fortification: Provides an instant "hit" of structural integrity to hair that has been sensitized by heat or bleach.
• Weightless Repair: Ideal for fine-haired clients who need repair but find traditional masks too heavy or greasy.

Package Contents: 250 ml (8.5 oz) professional spray bottle.

Recommended Usage

• Application: After shampooing, squeeze out excess water and spray CAT evenly throughout the hair.
• Timing: Leave on for 3 to 5 minutes. Do not leave on longer, as the protein is highly concentrated.
• The "Sandwich" Method: Rinse CAT out thoroughly, then follow with your favorite Redken conditioner (such as Extreme Conditioner) to seal in the moisture.
• Frequency: Use 1-3 times per week depending on the level of damage. Over-use of protein can make hair feel stiff, so balance it with moisture!
• Pro Tip: Use this treatment 48 hours *before* your next highlighting or coloring appointment. By strengthening the protein bonds ahead of time, your hair will better withstand the chemical process, resulting in less damage and a more vibrant color result.

Extreme CAT – The Protein Powerhouse

• Classic Professional Formula: A long-standing favorite in the Redken 5th Avenue NYC lineup for its reliable, clinical results.
• Damage Control: Specifically engineered for hair with a "distressed" rating (Grade 3-5 damage).
• No-Fuss Application: The spray format makes it easy to target specific areas, like a bleached fringe or damaged ends.
