The only thing I use is the Smooth Down Butter Treat. I really like it. I use it for cowashing, or a bit as a leave in. Or as a DC..lol. It's very versatile and my hair likes it.

I have the All Soft shampoo & the Heavy Cream dc, neither one totally impressed me. I have had products that made my hair feel so much more moisturized for less money.

Vpoetic i wanted to mention that ULTA has a sale going on 5/$10 trial size assorted products. So i bought 3 redkens smooth butter treats and 2 lotions. There were other redkens products also but i didn't remember hearing about them. I have yet to try my products though. Sale is on til the end of this month.

I now use Redken Smooth Down condish as my daily moisturizer and seal it with unrefined coconut oil. My hair is very happy!

I tried that last week. I'm curious as to how you used the coconut oil. My regimen:
1. Wash hair
2. Apply con with coconut oil
3. Rinse
4. Apply Redken Butter (Smooth line), and various other products (I can't recall names right now - I'm at work)
5. Pull back in pony tail
6. 15 minutes under dryer (hair still wet afterwards, but not dripping wet)
7. Air dry
However, I probably should have nuked the coconut oil for a few seconds because I had clumps of coconut oil in my hair. Do you mix the butter and oil together and then distribute in your hair and leave in? I think I'm going to try this tonight after swim practice.

I use the Redken Real Control Masque, Leave-In, and Thermal Protectant. I think they do a good job. I've only used them when I roller-set and flat-iron my roots. It kept my hair smooth and moisturized and I had a lot less tangling at the ends when my hair dried. It also reduced the 'poof' factor.
I like the leave-in a lot and I'll be trying it on a braid-out tonight.

The Extreme Anti-Snap is pretty good to me. I use it before flat ironing and it reduces breakage and smooths my cuticles, especially my ends. If your hair doesn't like proteins, you should use it only 1x a week. I also like the Cleansing Cream. It chelates/ clarifies and my hair doesn't feel stripped at all after using it.

* REdken Smooth Down Shampoo is AWESOME! I mean it's awesome but it costs like 15 dollars for like 10 ounces..which makes it a little bit less awesome.. 
* Redken Smooth Down Butter Treat is still expensive but i use it a lot and it lasts a long time. I use it as a leave in like daily and it hasn't failed me yet! It's so creamy and nice!
* Redken Heavy Cream made my hair really dry I didn't like it.

I didn't like it.I pretty much have most of the different lines from Redkin. I love the all soft line. It makes my hair very soft. I have used the smooth down, color treated, and extreme. I just bought the real control mask and I really like that one too. You really can't go wrong with the line.

I've also been wondering about how good Reken products are for a while. Before I found an Ulta near me last month I called beforehand to ask about which product lines they carry for ethnic hair and they mentioned Redken. I figured there must be some Nikos' cousins around these parts,lol. I would eventually like to try to Allsoft and butter treat products.

I'm here to sing the praises of Redken!! 
Especially the All Soft conditioner and Smooth Down Butter Treat. 
My hair loves this combination - I use AS to cowash and BT as a leave in. Seal with EVOO = 
. AS kills every tangle w/o a comb (and my hair is naturally tangly). It gives me a lot of slip. And BT helps my hair to dry SOFT - always a challenge when air drying.

I really like the All Soft and Real Control lines. The RC mask is really thick and moisturizing. The Heavy Cream isn't as moisturizing but it makes the hair butta soft

It's my staple DC. I love the Smooth Down Butter Treat, All Soft Heavy Cream, and Real Control Mask. I guess you're just gonna have to try it yourself and see if you like it, everyone's hair is different. They come in trial sizes

Thank you. I will definitely go that route.
