Frequently Asked Questions
Expert answers to common questions about Redken professional hair colour.
Permanent hair color (like Redken Color Gels Oils) penetrates the hair shaft for long-lasting results and up to 100% grey coverage. Demi-permanent color (like Redken Shades EQ) is acidic, ammonia-free, and glosses the hair while fading gradually—making it ideal for blending greys, toning, and adding maximum condition and shine.
Redken Pro-Oxide Cream Developer:
- 10 Vol (3%): For deposit or 1 level of lift.
- 20 Vol (6%): Standard for grey coverage and up to 2 levels of lift.
- 30 Vol (9%) & 40 Vol (12%): For 3 to 4+ levels of lift.
Note: Redken Shades EQ Gloss requires its dedicated, low-volume Shades EQ Processing Solution (or Crystal Clear) to maintain its signature acidic pH balance.
While mixing ratios can vary by technology, Redken relies on an easy and precise portfolio balance:
- Shades EQ Gloss (Acidic Demi): 1 : 1 ratio (e.g., 60ml Shades EQ Gloss + 60ml Shades EQ Processing Solution).
- Color Gels Oils (Ammonia-free Liquid Permanent): 1 : 1 ratio (e.g., 60ml Color Gels Oils + 60ml Pro-Oxide Cream Developer).
- Chromatics (Oil-in-Cream Prismatic Permanent): 1 : 1 ratio (e.g., 60ml Chromatics + 60ml Oil in Cream Developer).
Traditional permanent color uses ammonia to achieve deep lift. For clients looking for premium comfort, scalp wellness, and a completely odorless experience, we offer Redken Color Gels Oils, a high-performance permanent liquid color powered by a deep-conditioning oil delivery system with no ammonia.
