Redken Shades EQ is your hair's spa treatment. This acidic demi-permanent hair color goes beyond simple coloring, offering a multifaceted tool to gloss, tone, refresh, and transform your locks. This Shades Eq is colored with a conscience, formulated with gentle ingredients, and reflects a commitment to healthy, vibrant locks. Key Features and Benefits of Redken Shades EQ: Enhance, enrich, change, match, tone down, or intensify your natural hair or color-treated locks. Achieve perfectly toned, pre-lightened, or highlighted hair. Breathe life back into faded mid-shafts and ends. Restore lost vibrancy and dimension to your highlights. Neutralize unwanted brassiness or overly vibrant tones. Redken Shades EQ How to Use Step 1: Wash hair with a clarifying shampoo. Towel-dry to damp. Step 2: Mix your desired shade with Shades EQ Processing Solution in a 1:1 ratio. For lighter shades, add Clear; for darker shades, add Noir. Step 3: Apply generously to clean, damp hair, focusing on areas needing correction or enhancement. Wear gloves. Step 4: Let it sit for 20 minutes (up to 40 minutes for gray hair). Use a processing cap under a warm dryer for 15 minutes for extra vibrancy. Step 5: Rinse thoroughly with cool water until the water runs clear. Use a color-safe conditioner to seal the cuticle and lock in shine. Redken Shades EQ Mixing Ratio: Standard mix: 1 part Shades EQ shade + 1 part Shades EQ Processing Solution Lighter shades: Add Clear to dilute color. Darker shades: Add Noir to deepen color. Shades EQ Processing Time Shades EQ typically processes for 20 minutes at room temperature, giving the demi-permanent formula time to deliver glossy, true-to-tone results. For resistant hair or extra vibrancy, you can process for 15 minutes under a pre-heated warm dryer with a plastic cap, then let it cool and continue processing for up to 20 minutes at room temperature. Gray coverage can be extended up to 40 minutes for maximum blending. Always apply to dry hair for even results, and mix in a 1:1 ratio with the Shades EQ Processing Solution. For softer tones or custom color, add 000 Crystal Clear to dilute intensity. Don’t be alarmed if the shade looks darker while developing — it evens out beautifully once rinsed. Finish with Redken Color Extend Shampoo and Conditioner to protect your new tone.
