Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Redken Shades EQ is specifically formulated as a gentle, ammonia-free color gloss designed to work safely on color-treated hair. Its conditioning formula helps maintain hair integrity while depositing color. However, if you have a known sensitivity to hair dyes or specific ingredients, perform a patch test 48 hours before application. Always follow the mixing instructions and processing times provided to minimize any potential irritation.
Redken Shades EQ is a demi-permanent color gloss, not a permanent color. It contains no ammonia and gradually fades over 24 shampoos, making it ideal for enhancing natural color, blending grays subtly, or refreshing faded color without long-term commitment. Permanent color uses stronger developers and provides longer-lasting results. Shades EQ is gentler and better for maintaining color vibrancy between permanent color applications.
Mix Redken Shades EQ Color Gloss with the Redken Shades EQ Processing Solution in a 1:2 ratio (one part color to two parts processing solution) in a non-metallic bowl. Stir thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, consistent paste. Use within a few minutes of mixing for best results. Always use proper application tools and wear protective gloves. Process for 20 minutes on mid-lengths and ends, or as directed for your specific shade and hair type.
