Redken Extreme Play Safe Leave In Treatment is a heat-protective cream that helps strengthen damaged hair.
This lightweight formula works by coating fragile strands with a protective shield, helping to reduce the look of split ends and breakage. As you blow-dry or straighten, it activates with heat to smooth the cuticle and support weakened areas along the hair fibre.
The cream feels silky and non-greasy, gliding easily from mid-lengths to ends without weighing hair down. Hair feels softer, easier to detangle, and has a smoother, shinier finish that still moves naturally.
Perfect for anyone who styles with hot tools or has damaged, over-processed, or fragile hair. Use before every heat styling session to help your hair feel stronger, protected, and more manageable day after day.
How To Use Redken Extreme Play Safe Leave In Treatment
- Apply to clean, damp hair, focusing on mid-lengths and ends.
- Comb through to distribute evenly.
- Do not rinse out.
- Style with a hairdryer, straightener, or curler as usual.
- Use before every heat styling session for best results.
