WHAT IS A HAIR GLOSS?
Let's start with the basics. A Shades EQ hair gloss is a versatile professional hair color service offered in salons. Perfect for refreshing color and enhancing your hair's natural shine, Redken's Shades EQ Gloss service also leaves you with healthier-looking and feeling hair.
Because glosses are a form of demi-permanent hair color, they allow for color without the commitment. Looking to try a new shade or change your hair color for the first time? Demi-permanent hair color is a gentler form of color that fades gradually over time, meaning you won't get harsh root regrowth. With results that can last anywhere from 4-6 weeks, a hair gloss service is the perfect way to try that new shade while achieving shiny, healthy-looking hair.
While stylists typically use glosses as a way to tone, color-correct, refresh and add shine to hair, there are countless reasons to get a Shades EQ Gloss Service. Read on to learn more about hair glosses and see the magic of a Shades EQ Gloss for yourself.
COUNTLESS REASONS TO GET A SHADES EQ GLOSS SERVICE
ACIDIC HAIRCOLOR FOR HEALTHIER HAIR
To understand acidic haircolor, it’s important to know that hair is at its healthiest when it has a pH of 4.5-5.5. Maintaining this natural acidity is necessary to avoid frizz, dryness and hair breakage.
You can get a Shades EQ Gloss service at any time for any result, but it is critical to get a Shades EQ Gloss post-lightening services.
Why is that?
When your hair is lightened, it goes into an alkaline state, and if it stays there for a long period of time, this is where damage can be incurred. This is where Shades EQ’s acidic formula comes in.

This is the foundation of our award winning Acidic Bonding Concentrate, the all-in-one haircare regimen that provides ultimate repair.

You can get a Shades EQ Gloss service at any time for any result, but it is critical to get a Shades EQ Gloss post-lightening services. Why is that? When your hair is lightened, it goes into an alkaline state, and if it stays there for a long period of time, this is where damage can be incurred. This is where Shades EQ's acidic formula comes in. “Acidic color gently brings the hair back to a healthy pH, and also helps the cuticle lay smoothly again,” Redken Artist George Garcia explains. Not only is that helpful in and of itself, but it also makes a big difference when protecting the hair against damage. “After any kind of lifting service—be that highlights, balayage, or a single-process, hair is going to be in its most fragile state."" Shades EQ Gloss helps to keep the hair strand protected and smooth. This closed hair cuticle also allows for incredible shine.
5. NO AMMONIA:
Shades EQ is formulated without ammonia, so you won’t have to deal with any overpowering smell while the color processes. Relax and enjoy your gloss!
6. COLOR CORRECTION:
It's time to kiss brassy ends and regrown roots goodbye! Any type of discoloration or fading is immediately corrected after a Shades EQ Gloss. Once applied to the hair, the formula gently blends and tones the hair to create a gorgeous finish. Your hairdresser will know best how to achieve your hair goals!
HOW DOES A HAIR GLOSS WORK?
After your initial consultation, your stylist will head to the color bar to whip up a personalized hair gloss just for you. The gloss that your stylist mixes will be formulated to meet the color needs based on your discussion. After the gloss is mixed, your stylist will apply the gloss to your dry hair, let it process for 20 minutes, and then rinse. Be sure to have your phone ready – you’re going to need a picture of your fabulous, health-looking hair and refreshed color!
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET A GLOSS?
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 that lasts up to 6 weeks. Since it’s a gloss, you don’t need to worry about visible regrowth, but you will need to revisit your stylist to get a fresh application once your gloss has faded. To keep your hair looking and feeling healthy, book your next appointment 4 to 6 weeks after your gloss.
Because Shades EQ is such a versatile product, you can refresh with almost any hair color imaginable. Are you dying to try the cool new copper blonde trend or looking to play around with deep, rich browns? Or maybe a blonde shade? Talk to your stylist and ask for a Shades EQ Gloss service!
