What It Is

The dedicated developer for Shades EQ Gloss that is approximately a 7-volume hydrogen peroxide developer.

What It Does

• Specifically formulated to maintain an acidic pH and stabilize viscosity.
• Used with Shades EQ Gloss it ensures the proper tone, depth and durability.
• Doesn't lift hair’s natural pigment.

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.

 

Shades EQ provides the industry's best true violet acidic toner!

• The best-selling 09V is every stylist's must-have.

• Mix in a 1:1 ratio with Shades EQ Gloss.
• 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.

*No other developer may be substituted for Processing Solution. To do so would cause unpredictable results.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Much Needed This product has no smell to it and looks and feels like water. However, when mixed with Shades EQ toners, it immediately creates a gelatinous texture which you can apply on your client right away. It's very easy to use and I like the spout on it, which makes measuring the mixtures simpler.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Game-Changer for Hair Color - Redken Shades EQ Processing I am absolutely ecstatic to share my experience with Redken's Shades EQ Processing Solution. As someone who has experimented with various hair colors and toners over the years, I must say that this product has outperformed all the others in my collection. The unmatched results, ease of use, and gentle formula have made it a staple in my hair care arsenal. From the get-go, the Redken Shades EQ Processing Solution is designed to be used in tandem with the Redken Shades EQ Gloss, a versatile demi-permanent hair color. The processing solution allows for an even and consistent color application, ensuring that the desired shade is achieved without any surprises. The 1:1 mixing ratio makes it incredibly simple to prepare, as you only need to combine equal parts of the gloss and processing solution. One of the most appealing aspects of this product is its gentle, ammonia-free formula. This means that it is safe for use on all hair types, including color-treated, damaged, or chemically processed hair. The acidic pH helps to close the hair cuticle, resulting in unmatched shine and smoothness. Furthermore, the processing solution is infused with wheat amino acids for additional conditioning and fortifying effects. As someone with sensitive hair, I truly appreciate how this product manages to deliver fantastic results without compromising the integrity of my hair. The application process is a breeze, and the 20-minute processing time ensures that the whole process is relatively quick and fuss-free. After rinsing out the color, I immediately noticed a significant improvement in the overall appearance and texture of my hair. The color was vibrant, even, and true to the shade I had chosen. Additionally, my hair felt incredibly soft, silky, and manageable, with an enviable shine that I had previously only dreamed of. In conclusion, the Redken Shades EQ Processing Solution is a game-changer for anyone looking to enhance their hair color and achieve salon-quality results at home.
