Thoughts:

Extreme Length Sealer was such a disappointment, I didn't even finish it!

- The product itself wasn't easy to rub to hair ends, it was thick(er than some other products I used)

The brush did not serve any purpose, couldn't use it, just made it messy to get the actual product

- I found a lot cheaper split end leave-in product that worked just as well as Redken's Length Sealer so I feel like I was ripped off now

- The prices of Redken products are quite high (at least in here)



My favorite was Extreme Length Primer that I used right after bleaching my hair for the first time

The bottle of primer lasted for a very long time, probably closer to half a year

It had a pleasant, not too strong smell that is present in all Extreme Length products

It left my hair smooth and easy to comb, not heavy or greasy at all

Shampoo and conditioner were good products, way better than Schwarzkopf Bonacure (?) products I tried from similar price range

I felt like shampoo did clean my head better than the usual cheap ones I keep lying around and I was able to wash my hair less often (washing long blonded hair too often makes it worse, very dry)



* I used to have very long hair, that I dyed in several colors and finally bleached continuously. Well, that was essentially goodbye to long hair but I still tried to keep it alive for a little longer and with Redken (and others), I managed a couple of years.

I still think Redken's products worked the best for my distressed hair during that time.

I don't understand why I didn't try more oil products back in the day now that I think about it, I did have some oil mists but they weren't very good.

Redken as a brand is so well known and established that it was easy to request their products as gifts! It's quite an advantage when someone is persistent that they want to give you something you will like but they have absolutely no knowledge about skin or hair care.

Bought from: 

Hairdresser, Feelunique, got as gifts

Buy again? 

My hair is healthy and short right now. So, even if I have very special feelings for the primer, I'm going to have to say no.

Worth the money? 

I'm not sure the price quality ratio is quite right if I look at the prices in my own country. But if you order from somewhere where the price is on Feelunique's level or less, yes. And if you have very distressed hair. I don't see any reason getting "better than average" haircare items for hair that is short, unprocessed, shiny and smooth on its own. Hair grows so quick anyway!
