Redken Extreme Bleach Recovery Shampoo is a silicone-free, soothing repair shampoo for sensitised, over-lightened hair. Powered by Cica (Centella Asiatica) and glycerin, it gently cleanses while calming the scalp and softening the cuticle — leaving bleached or highlighted hair softer, stronger-feeling and easier to manage. An authorised Redken stockist — 100% authentic, with free SA delivery over R390.

Key Benefits
  • Repairs after lightening — Cica soothes and helps strengthen sensitised, bleached hair.
  • Calms the scalp — gentle care for post-bleach sensitivity.
  • Silicone-free cleanse — washes without buildup or weight.
  • Softens and detangles — glycerin and conditioning polymers smooth for easier combing.
How to Use
  1. Massage into wet hair and work to a lather.
  2. Rinse, and repeat if needed.
  3. Follow with a bonding conditioner or mask.
Ingredients

The hero is Cica (Centella Asiatica Extract) — the soothing core of Redken's Gentle Conditioning Complex — which calms and supports sensitised, over-lightened hair, with glycerin for softness. It's a genuinely silicone-free formula; note it cleanses with a mild sulphate (Sodium Laureth Sulfate), so it's silicone-free rather than sulphate-free.

FAQs

Who is it for?
Best for bleached, highlighted or chemically sensitised hair. Read the blonde hair care guide, learn how bond builders work, or step up to Redken Acidic Bonding.

Is it silicone-free?
Yes — it's formulated without silicones, so it cleanses gently without buildup. For deeper repair on very damaged lengths, follow with a bonding mask or move up to the Acidic Bonding range.
