What Else You Need to Know
Exclusive to Redken:
Why settle for less than number 1?
• Shades EQ is the #1 Acidic Demi Permanent Haircolor in the United States
Shades EQ is the healthiest way to tone!
• It is best to use an acidic demi permanent color after lightening hair as it offers gentle processing for outstanding condition and shine!
• With Shades EQ, there is no need to worry about banding or harsh regrowth as acidic color does not lift.
How To
• Mix in a 1:1 ratio with Shades EQ Processing Solution.
• Shades EQ Gloss may be applied with a bowl and brush or bottle and may be diluted with Crystal Clear to lessen intensity or customize any shade.
• Process at room temperature for 20 minutes, up to 40 minutes for gray hair.
• For resistant hair, process for 15 minutes with plastic cap under pre-heated warm dryer. Remove cap and cool for 5 minutes.
• For resistant gray hair, process 20 minutes with plastic cap under pre-heated warm dryer. Remove cap and process for additional 20 minutes at room temperature.
• Follow with Color Extend Shampoo and Conditioner.
• PRO TIP: SEQ Crystal Clear is an unpigmented Shades EQ Gloss shade that can be used alone to add incredible shine or with any other Shades EQ Gloss shade to dilute the color intensity!

• Long-Lasting Colorants = Creates Vibrant Color that Fades on Tone

Use to keep natural hair shiny.
When I have a client with natural color, I offer a Cristal Clear Glaze to keep the hair aligned and shiny.

Highly recommended!
Great shine and conditioning and it gives me complete control over the level of color and the intensity of my target color when mixing it with pigmented shades. I use it on nearly every guest.

Crystal clear is the best !
This Crystal clear is the best out there! It gives hair supreme shine, manageability, and gives the hair lock down color feeling with out putting pigment over hair that color looks gorgeous already! Mixed with processing solution, perfection everytime. Always on hand .

The best!
I use this in almost every wiggle Shades EQ gloss formula I mix up. I find that if I use 50% clear, I can leave it on a lot longer and therefore it lasts longer for my clients! Plus it adds shine and seals the cuticle. Win win!!

Value product
Crystal clear is a great value for the amount of applications it has. You have to be careful not to emulsify it when applying and damp hair. Also made the mistake of mixing it in an ever so slightly damp shaker applicator bottle which turned into a sudsy mess. It can make certain clients hair very static-y. if done right for the right person it can give a healthy sheen and frizz free look in the end!

Best color conditioner
I use this more now then I have my 22 years of being a hairdresser. It does an awesome job!. Helps dilute my toner to keep hair light. Blends nicely with natural color for added softness and makes the hair feel and look so healthy and shiny.

The best gloss!
I’ve been using redken shades for almost 15 years and I can’t work without it. It’s perfect for lowlights and toners. I use the crystal clear alone or as a gloss after highlights. I also add it to my shades eq to give a translucent color on dry ends.
