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.

 

PRO TIP: Shades EQ Processing solution is a dedicated developer for Shades EQ Gloss shades that is formulated to maintain an acidic pH and stabilize viscosity. The liquid formula is perfect for bottle application.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from It's a no for me! I was excited to try the chocolate line. However, the smell was so strong that I couldn't even leave it on for the alotted amount of time. I was so disappointed! I mixed the processing solution just as the direction said and I only use professional products! I also always do a Malibu crystal gel treatment on my hair before I color it so there is no buildup. I have used Redken Shades before in the past and it's one of my favorite lines! Sorry I couldn't give it more stars!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Always easy to use, always my go to. There's nothing I trust more than shades eq and the processing solution. If you aren't a fan of the viscosity you can always add color thickener drops by Redken as well (10/10 recommend). I like the flexibility of being able to put this in a bottle or a bowl + the product is so easily movable. I never end up spotty like so many other color lines.. oh, and if I couldn't say enough good about it already, the hair feels & looks so good every single time. This is your sign to buy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy Mixing & Application Mixes well with Redken Shades EQ colors to create a nice gel like consistency. I thought it would be more liquidity but the gel was easy to apply with a brush or a bottle.
