Let’s start with the basics. A hair gloss is a professional haircolor service that is offered in a salon. These types of services are often executed by stylists as a way to tone, color-correct or add shine to the hair. As these glosses are a form of demi-permanent haircolor, they are made up of a mix of both oxidative and direct dyes. Whether you want to try a shade of blonde, brown or red, this dynamic duo allows you to flirt with a new haircolor without fully committing to it.
Redken Shades EQ isn’t your run-of-the-mill hair gloss. In fact, it’s a haircolor that thinks it’s a conditioner. Here are five ways that Shades EQ sets itself apart.
Shades EQ hair gloss is an acidic demi-permanent haircolor. You may be wondering what makes acidic haircolor unique. Acidic demi-permanent haircolor offers gentle processing on the hair for outstanding condition and shine benefits. All of Redken's Shades EQ gloss shades are acidic and provide an extensive array of shade options. With it's gentle acidic formula, Shades EQ is not only perfect for achieving any customized color you want, it also provides shine-enhancing benefits for healthy, beautiful haircolor.
Shades EQ is formulated without ammonia, so you won’t have to deal with any overpowering smell or any discomfort while the color processes.
Have we mentioned just how glossy your hair will be after a Shades EQ hair gloss service? The formula is infused with wheat amino acids that help to condition the hair and leave it looking super shiny.
It's time to kiss brassy ends and regrown roots goodbye! Any type of discoloration or fading is immediately corrected after a Shades EQ service. Once applied to the hair, the formula gently blends and tones the hair to create a gorgeous finish.
You read that right. Shades EQ only takes 20 minutes to process once it’s applied. It’s a quick, easy service for those who want gorgeous haircolor in an instant.
Do you like glossy, shiny hair that looks like it has been #blessed by the hair gods? Does your hair need a little extra care and conditioning after the summer? A hair gloss service might be exactly what you need. Not only do these speedy services act as a final touch to any permanent haircolor service, but they can also stand alone as an instant fix for dull, discolored hair. What’s not to love? Think of all the times that you have spent staring in the mirror wishing for a quick hair pick-me-up; a little toning here, a little boost in shine there. For those days (and every other day), a Shades EQ gloss service is the answer for instant hair goals.
After your initial consultation, your stylist will head to the color bar to whip up a custom hair gloss just for you. The gloss that your stylist mixes will be formulated to meet the color needs that you both discussed. After the color is mixed, the stylist will apply the gloss to your dry hair, let the color process (aka absorb) for 20 minutes, and then rinse. Be sure to have your phone ready – you’re going to need a picture of your fabulous new look!
A Shades EQ hair gloss service is a low commitment hair color service that provides hair with high shine and a subtle wash of color. Since it’s a gloss, you don’t need to worry about visible regrowth, but will need to revisit your stylist to get a fresh application.
As Shades EQ is such a versatile product, you can flirt with almost any haircolor imaginable. Are you dying to try a cool new shade of blonde or play around with deep, dark browns or maybe try a pastel shade? Just ask your stylist for Shades EQ!
