What should you know about Redken for dry, damaged hair?

Dry hair often feels rough, looks dull, tangles easily, or snaps during brushing. Damage can follow repeated colouring, bleaching, heat styling, tight hairstyles, sun exposure, or vigorous detangling. A product can coat and condition the hair shaft, reducing friction and making strands easier to handle; it cannot repair a split strand back into one intact fibre. Hair that breaks close to the scalp, sheds noticeably, or changes suddenly may reflect a scalp or health concern rather than routine dryness. The pattern, timing, and location of the change help a clinician separate shaft damage from excessive shedding.

Use a gentle cleansing routine and apply conditioner through the lengths and ends. Detangle from the ends upward with a wide-tooth comb, limit high heat, and avoid pulling wet hair. Pause bleaching, frequent chemical straightening, and tight ponytails while the hair recovers. Follow the product directions and stop if the scalp burns, becomes sore, or develops a rash. If dietary intake, medication, or a scalp problem could be contributing, a clinician can decide whether testing or a treatment such as [Hair Supplement Therapy](/treatments/hair-restoration/hair-supplement-therapy/) is appropriate.

Arrange a dermatology review for sudden thinning, bald patches, scalp pain, marked scaling, sores, or breakage that continues despite gentler care. Seek prompt help for swelling, pus, or a rapidly worsening scalp rash. Bring the products you use and describe recent colouring, heat styling, illness, or medication changes.

Could this be hair-shaft damage, increased shedding, or a scalp condition? Which ingredients or styling practices should I pause? Would an examination or blood test help explain ongoing breakage?
