I am a licensed barber I had bought in a salon in 2020 enough said on what happened to that, but my main focus has been Lashes for the last seven years and I can say I have a love-hate for shades EQ love your video even know it was stuff I already knew, but wanted to just let you know I subscribed JUST BECAUSE you went straight to the point of the video... you didnt go into your day (or show your cat) do shoutouts, and talk just to kill the time for KZread.... Keep up theses videos, and I cant wait to see you go to over 100k subscribers. US girls need to give compliments where complainants are due. Have a blessed day love

I’d like to do a root smudge, plus tone fresh and old blonde highlights. What order should I do that? Can I tone over the root shadow with a lighter toner for the lengths? Is it damaging to tone the same hair twice in a short period? Also can you talk about blending two toners using a darker one for the roots and lighter one for the ends? What can you do if a toner turns out too dark? Thanks!

Hello) what shade should i use on my brown warm a bit brassy hair . I just want to add some chocolate

Hello there. I have a question. So I have shades E Q gloss processing solution. And shades EQ conditioning 09P. One of my stylist friends used it on my hair a while ago but I don't remember how she mixed it up. Could you possibly help me understand how I should mix it? What value I should use? And what I should expect after useing it? I would greatly appreciate it. 🙏

Sorry, can I also ask - Do we shampoo and condition hair first then add the redken shades eq? When rinsing redken shades eq, do we need to condition or shampoo the hair again? thanks in advance

What do u mean when you say you can just use pure gloss

@ReileyCollier can i use my eq gloss with a different brand developer?

I have a question. Which toner/s would be best to get that Pamela Anderson blonde hair? Where it's this pretty platinum whitish color but with a subtle yellow tone? Please answer.

Thank you for the great explanation! I'm looking to do the at home redken shades eq crystal clear gloss with the activator solution that goes with it. I do get my hair professionally colored, my near natural very dark brown. I had a bad haircut that left my curly hair very frizzy. Do i apply the mixed solution to damp or dry hair? Do i need to shampoo and condition after, or can i just condition. I use natural ingredients products. Thank you!

Do you mix equal parts of toner and processing solution???

My hair is similar to yours and in much need of a toner... I like the gold tones in it... and I have never done a toner using redken at home... Im not sure which number to try... kinda confused between the 9n, 9gb or gi... I have a lot of gray hair but it blends in with my blonde.... so, I'm not sure if I can mix 9n and gi or gb to tone but keep the gold tones... any advice?

I am going from a full bleach and hoping to achieve white snow white results with a shades EQ color solution. I do not know them as the numbers but I am looking at what I have is a platinum and I have ivory pearl along with crystal clear gloss. Out of those what would help or get those results achieved? I am hoping for a white blonde.

I love your videos, super helpful! How often can you safely tone your hair with the Shades EQ? I've read every 3-4 weeks but don't want to overdo it.

hi i have orange tints in my hair my base color is a dark brown level 5 with high lights done about 4 weeks ago.... what Demi do you recommend?

Whats the best eq colour to use on your dort of colour in this video. Say 10 with bleach highlights, want it to be more ashy or cool blonde ? Many thanks

What would formula be for wanting time pearly blonde? I saw some on IG but doing at home after color! Just want cancel some yellow

I highlighted my hair and came out a little yellow but wanted ashy/platinum blonde So I used sally's 9v with their activator and now I have dark brown hair. Where did I go wrong?

If a person is doing roots with 5NN permanent (20 volume) what eq shade would you use 5N? to match for the rest of the hair? And would you use 10 volume or eq gloss with it as well?

Thank you for being so detailed and...... not to sound rude I don’t mean this in a weird way......for dummying everything up. I have never used reken before in my life and I just got a job at a new salon and have no idea what I’m doing!!!! Please make more videos like this. I was literally taking notes. Maybe do a video on like what redken line ( chromatics shades ect)you should use on people with gray hair?? I know that would help me!!!

Thank you so much for this video you answered so many questions that I had.

Hi...nice job explaining... Im a licensed cosmetologist but do not work in salon any longer. I still do my own hair and my daughter's hair and not being in a salon environment every day certainly makes keeping up with trends and products quite the challenge. Additionally, since my license is expired, it makes getting Redken at a legitimate supply house impossible. So here is my question.....I recently toned my daughter's hair with a Sally's brand comparable (allegedly) to Shades and it turned out way darker than what we wanted. It is still a beautiful level 7 with some dimension but truthfully, its not what I was going for. Perhaps if I had mixed some clear gloss with the 9N, it wouldn't have deposited as much color. I believe I used 1 part 9N, 1 part 10N and a 15V developer. Your thoughts? Im considering checking into ordering Redken shades online if you know of a source, also that would be helpful.

If you are looking for a shade lighter than your hair color, you would need to lift it! Unfortunately toners do not lift hair colors.

Thank you for the information! Just to clarify, I can use the black bottle with toner?

You mention in the video that you CAN use it with a regular 10 volume developer, but that it will lift if you do that. So if I WANT a slight lift, that would do it? Also, I've heard some people say it's okay to sub out and some say it won't work if you sub out. Curious what your experience is with seeing this.

Very natural brown !

Thank you for this video and answering color questions! My question is; I am wanting to cover my gray which I have been letting grow out for 10 months. (was going to go the all natural route but I don't like it!) It is fine but not baby fine hair. So there is about 5 inches of salt and pepper, with probably 75% white at temples and sides, with 25-50% white on top. The bottom 2/3rds of my hair is old color, which is a med- dark brassy brown. I was hoping to try demi permanent instead of permanent color this time around, permanent (Color Fusion) is what I had been doing before I stopped coloring for 10 months. Here's what I'm hoping will work: to try 5n Shades EQ on my uncolored root portion, and blending that into the old color bottom part with 7nb Shades EQ. Do you think this will work? How long do you think I should process my virgin hair? My gray isn't usually very resistant I think, but I used to process my roots with permanent dye for about 45 minutes.
