I see that Redken has a new product out there:
Redken Chemistry System 5 Treatments - 5 Shots
How it works: This three-part system determines your hair type and level of damage, and then adds shine and strength with the appropriate Redken products to cleanse, seal the cuticle and add gloss that lasts for at least three weeks.
The Chemistry System is formulated to transform the hair's condition so it "recovers" its natural, healthy state. If the hair's cortex is damaged, the cuticle has been damaged too. Each hair shaft has seven to twelve layers of cuticle scales which protect the cortex. In healthy hair, the scales are flat and compact. In distressed hair, the cuticle is abraded. Distressed hair is weakened hair. There are many different factors that can cause some level of distress to the hair.
Chemical Distress. Chemical services such as hair color, bleaching, perming or straightening can result in chemically distressed hair. These alkaline services cause the cortex to swell, forcing the cuticle layers to stretch and weaken. During the coloring, perming and straightening processes, hair bonds are actually broken. The results are a reduction in elasticity, an overall weakening of the proteins and internal structure of the hair and a visible negative effect on the external appearance.
Mechanical Distress. Normal wear and tear from blow-drying, thermal irons, and everyday brushing can also weaken the hair. This type of damage is called "mechanical". Friction and heat can weaken the hair fiber, create split ends, cause a "ruffling" effect on the cuticle and a disorganized interior.
Gentle acid pH color use, while not an alkaline service, can also cause hair to be distressed.
The Power of Acid-Balanced pH. Damage can change the pH of the hair causing it to swell. The hair fiber is most swollen when it is very acidic or very alkaline. When the pH of the hair falls in the middle (between 4.5 and 5.5) it is considered balanced because it has less water in it (less swelling) and is therefore stronger.
The second step of the Chemistry System, pHix pHase, works to rebalance the pH of the hair to minimize swelling and maximize the action of specialized ingredients. The adjustment to the pH leaves hair in its most compact, healthy, shiny condition. Using acid-balanced products, the 2- or 3-step Chemistry System service works to make the hair look and feel stronger, healthier and more beautiful. Putting the power to transform in your hands.

Scalp Chemistry Dandruff Control Shot is a specialized treatment that helps fight and control dandruff. Glycerin gently helps soothe and hydrate the scalp. Leaves the scalp clarified and relieved.
Healthy hair begins with a healthy scalp. Redken has developed an advanced dermatologist-tested anti-dandruff regimen, Scalp Relief Dandruff Control. It starts with a professional in-salon Scalp Chemistry service that provides a concentrated dandruff defense. The care continues at-home with Scalp Relief Dandruff Control products. Together, they offer a complete, intense solution that maximizes the scalp's and hair's potential. Specialized formulas with pyrithione zinc, an effective anti-dandruff ingredient, reduce flaking, irritation and itching to help eliminate dandruff.
