Redken Styling Products: Which One Do You Need?
Redken's styling range is easier to shop when you sort it by job: blow-dry and heat protection, volume, texture, and hold. Most people need one prep product and one finisher, not five.
What does Redken Styling do?
Prep and blow-dry
- Quick Blowout: a bi-phase spray that speeds up drying and smooths, with heat protection.
- Big Blowout: a blow-dry gel with silk and vitamin E for body, shine and frizz control.

Redken Styling questions we get asked
What's the best Redken heat protectant?
Quick Blowout for blow-drying, Thermal Spray Low or High for irons and wands, and Acidic Color Gloss Leave-In if you want heat protection plus colour care.
Which Redken hairspray has the strongest hold?
Max Hold 32. Strong Hold 23 and Control 28 sit just below it. Brushable Hairspray is the softest.
Do I need heat protection if I only blow-dry?
Yes. A blow-dryer is hot enough to dry out and weaken hair over time. Quick Blowout or One United before you dry is an easy habit.
Which Redken product gives beachy waves?
Beach Spray on damp or dry hair, scrunched in. It's salt-free, so it won't dry your hair out like a sea-salt spray.
