Why Asian Stylists Recommend It
Bleached, over-processed Asian hair goes porous and fragile; a strengthening shampoo reinforces the strand as it cleans so damaged hair feels stronger, which a basic wash leaves rough.

Avoid if
Skip if your hair is healthy virgin hair and you only want volume or oil control.
Why we recommend it
Redken's Extreme Shampoo is the strengthening wash in the Extreme line — for bleached, color-treated, or heat-damaged Asian hair that needs reinforcement as it cleans. Dense hair processed to cool tones ends up porous and fragile; this shampoo cleans gently while protein-style actives strengthen the strand, so damaged hair feels stronger and less straw-like out of the shower, setting up the matching conditioner. It suits thick, chemically treated hair that a basic shampoo would leave rougher. Massage it into the scalp and rinse through the lengths. It supports strength during a repair phase rather than clarifying or volumizing, so healthy virgin hair will not need it.
