I have never used the extreme line, but I do use and totally am in love with the all soft line.
If your hair is breaking, you need to up your moisture level. Alot. Also, you need to look at a few things, first, what products do you use? If they are heavy in cones, you need to clarify. The cone buid up may be catching up with you. This will cause hair to break off. When they build up, they basically starve the hair underneath.You need to clarify to prevent this from happening. Second, do you use any heat? this can also cause it break off.
Here are the ingrdients for the all-snap. I am not sure what they all are, but I do know that there are alot of chemicals. Mabye someone else can help with what they are.
I just read your other post about washing evey day,and the products. If you have not done so yet, read the labels, and look for anything that ends in "one", this would be a silicone. I hope this helps

What is a cone? Will split ends cause your hair to break off more? When I look at my ends, they don't really appear to be split, but I could use a slight trim.

I haven't washed my hair everyday since I decided to grow it out.......about 1 time a week w/shampoo and 3 with conditioner (which get's my hair just as clean as shampoo it seems...) I don't like silicones....they make my hair look good.....but I don't like the build up!

OK, a cone is short for Silicone. Anything in the ingredient listing that has "one" on the end of the word is a silicone. They coat the hair, which causes a false security, because in time they build up and cause the hair to actually brake off. To prevent this you need to clarify. This is done buy using a shampoo that is specifically called clarifying.
Some people purposefully look for products with cones in them. I don't like the way my hair gets with to many. It gets almost straight, and flat. I can only use one cone, which is dimethicone, and I look for it to be as close to the bottom as possible. I have read in many places that there is controversy about weather dimethicone is water soluble or not.So I clarify ever few months just to be on the safe side.

I have been using Anti-Snap for about two weeks, with great results so far, on shoulder-length, naturally blonde, slightly wavy hair that is prone to breakage and flyaways. The product is supposed to prevent breakage, which has been a problem for me over the years.
I read some threads of customer reviews by Googling, probably about 30 reviews in all. Most were very positive, 5 stars, including users who swore by it and said they'd used it for years, were never without it, etc.; a couple said the product did nothing for them; and a couple said it dried their hair out after a while. So I'm going to watch very closely for the first sign that it's drying my hair.
If those of you concerned about the ingredients could suggest another conditioner or leave-in that cuts down on breakage/flyaways, I'd really appreciate it!

I bought this yesterday and used it this morning. All I can say is.......WOW!
My hair really liked this, whatever it is.....very managable, silky, and shiny! I do believe that the scent could be toned down a wee bit (kinda reminds me of blueberry muffin batter....) but other than that, I'm diggin' how my hair responded!!

I have used the Redken anti-snap I found that if you use too much it can actually start doing the opposite because of all the protein in it.... I was told by the hairdresser not to use too much and make sure you use a good moistriser as well ... I like the redken products and also love John Frieda frizz-ease extra strength formula

The problem for many (but not all) is that they work great at first, but as time progresses the build-up gets worse and then the negative symptoms take over (brittle, dry, crispy, tangly, broken strands). Frequent clarifying seems to be necessary to prevent the the negative effects of the silicones.

I used to use friz-eaze by john frida, and it did not take long before it started to dry out my hair, like less than a week.In my experience, any of the serums similar, has done the same thing.
