Redken products help you maintain perfect summer hair

Follow me on Twitter

I have to say that until 2007, I had not tried too many Redken products at all. I discovered their Smooth Down Butter Treat when a sales person at Trade Secrets (a hair product shop located here) revealed that it was the most moisturizing product they had in the store.

At the time, they were sold out, but I did make the rounds to other stores in order to secure my tube. It took one treatment for me to discover how incredible this product was (thanks to the macadamia nut oil) and ever since I’ve been fairly partial to Redken products.

When it comes to dealing with summer hair, a product like Smooth Down Butter Treat might be too heavy even for crazy hair like mine, so it’s a question of looking at the other products in the Redken line that will help you have perfect summer hair.

  1. Taming frizz:

I had read not long ago about Redken’s All Soft Gold Glimmer Shine Treatment. When it comes to getting your hair into a manageable ponytail on super-hot days, it’s important to remember that healthy hair is equally important when you pull your hair back. Redken’s All Soft Gold Glimmer Shine Treatment is chock full of frizz-control-hair-softening ingredients like avocado and olive oil … and just like the name says, it has actual gold sparkles in it! Don’t worry, you won’t be sporting glow in the dark hair because the sparkles won’t show on your hair, but your hair will have a glossy finish.

If you have curly hair, summer is the perfect time of the year to wear your natural and gloriously beautiful curls. That said, because of the high humidity levels, you’ll want to make sure your curls are well tamed and well defined. Here are two products I’ve found that are perfect for women with curly hair.

Curl Force 17 Texturizing Spray-Gel: This styling product will help revive your curls and will give you definition, bounce and frizz-protection. When the weather reporter gives a high humidity warning for the day, prepare your hair to fight the environmental aggressors by using the Redken Curl Force 17 Texturizing Spray-Gel.

I’m not the only one who thinks this product is a must-have for women with curly hair … this product happens to be one of Redken’s best-selling products!

Ringlet 07: This cream-gel activates and helps define your curls and waves without weighing them down. Ringlet 07 will also help block humidity and will help maintain beautiful curls throughout the day.

3. Protecting your hair against harmful UV rays:

Shimmering Defense Daily Care Protective Lotion UV Rescue: This daily protector was such a great product at protecting your hair if you had to spend time in the sun. I say “was” because I just found out that Redken will be discontinuing it. I’m sure you can still find many tubes here and there, but if you are out of luck, you might want to try their replacement product — Color Extend Rich Defender.

Color Extend Rich Defender: If you have coloured hair, then you surely don’t want to step out in the sun without protection or else it really will be like throwing good money in the waste bin. In order to prolong the beauty and shine of your colour, you’ll need to protect it against the harmful UV rays of the sun. This is surely a protective treatment that provides deep conditioning to leave your hair treated, manageable and vibrant.

4. Treating your hair without weighting it down:

Silk Fuel: With summer comes more time spent outdoors and more time spent in the water … that also means dryer and more brittle hair. Silk Fuel is a softening treatment that will instantly transform your dry and brittle hair to its healthier state thanks to some incredible oils like avocado oil and olive oil.

Velvet Whip Thermal Treatment: Yes, you’ll be spending a lot more time outdoors, but you still want to make some time each week to treat and restore your hair in order to improve its texture and help provide heat protection for more shiny and healthy looking hair. The Velvet Whip Thermal Treatment contains many of the luxurious products used in the All Soft Gold Glimmer Shine Treatment: gold camelina (to add shine), avocado oil (to provide softness), olive oil (for deep conditioning) and silk amino acids (to help strengthen the hair).
