I'm so excited to share some of my FAVORITE Shades EQ toners that make beautiful hair color! Ever wondered what the numbers on the bottles really mean? I explain it here!
Shades EQ is a Demi permanent hair color line. That means it rinses very easily and won't directly deposit into your hair so it easily lifts out if you want to change it again.
Here's a direct link to the Shades EQ chart so you can look at every shade:

Here are some of my favorite toning combos:
Icy, natural blonde:
9V, 9N, 9T equal parts with Shades EQ developer.
Sandy Medium Blonde:
2 ounces of 8N equal parts Shades EQ processing solution
Perfect root color or transition color for color melting:
7NB + 6N with equal parts Shades EQ processing solution
Transition color for color melting:
6GB + equal parts Shades EQ processing solution
Pretty, but also rich and warm brunette:
5NW + equal parts Shades EQ processing solution
Neutral brunette, looks good on every skin tone:
4NB + equal parts Shades EQ processing solution
Deep plum brunette shade (I love a brunette with a hint of plum in it):
3V + equal parts Shades EQ processing solution
Adding clear to any of these shades will make them deposit less on your hair and makes the tone less pigmented. Once you add clear you also have to add processing solution. That's the only way the color will deposit!

Hey everyone, so today I am so excited to do another shades eq tutorial. My last video got so many comments and likes and you guys were just so interested in learning this product. So i'm really happy about that and i can't wait to teach you more about Shades EQ.. I'Ve got the full lineup behind me. I literally brought out every shades eq bottle. I have right now, so I'm gon na explain a lot more about this product and what the letter means what the number means. So you guys can fully understand this product if you're doing it at home or, if you're a hairdresser in the salon doing it yourself. Okay, so first, what I'm gon na do is explain what these numbers and letters mean on the bottle so that you guys can understand this better. So this is 06WG one of my favorite shades by Redken Shades EQ.. So this six means a six level. So I have a five on my root right now, so imagine something one level lighter, so this would be a shade lighter and then the W stands for warm and then the G stands for gold. So I have a picture here of what it looks like. Let me pull that up for you guys so there's the shade there you can see it's like definitely like warm gold and if somebody had blonde hair it'd be a little lighter like this. I personally, if I put this on this color, you wouldn't see it because it's a six, so it's too light, so it would probably grab on to these lighter pieces and make it a warmer gold. So I hope that makes sense. That'S what we're working with here with these numbers and letters, and then I also want to explain the processing solution and the clear one more time, because I did explain that in the last video. But I just want to make sure for somebody who did watch that. Other video they can understand what we're mixing this stuff with and why so here are processing solution and clear. So what processing solution does? Is this activates the color so pretty much when you mix this with this? That makes the color work and what you want to do is equal parts, so it's the same measurement for each. So if you take one ounce of this you're gon na want to mix one ounce of this. So what clear is right here? This is pretty much letting you play around with all these colors and customize them to something lighter. So if this I want this to be like a level, seven eight I'll add clear to this. So if I want six to be a seven, I'm gon na add half an ounce of clear to dilute this, so it doesn't deposit more to that level. Sick. So that's, what's really fun about shades EQ. You can really customize things. So I run out of a color, that's lighter than the ones I have I can play with those and make them different levels really really easily. I'M gon na show you pretty much all these different tones and pick out my favorite ones and explain which ones are my favorite for each used. I'M also gon na list, my favorite formulas below. I don't want this video to be like 30 minutes of me just going color by color, but I'm gon na pick out my favorites and tell you why so we're gon na start with the darkest colors. So this is 1b. This is like as dark as you can possibly get. This is for my girls, who want that black, like put like a little hint of blue accent. So again, that's a level 1 and then B is for blue, so you're really gon na. Have that really, like jet black cool hair with this color? So when you are using this, just be careful, it stains so fast, so just make sure you're, nice and clean. You have gloves and have color protector if your client comes in, so it doesn't seep into their skin. But again this is 1b. This is super super dark for somebody with like wants black black hair, and it's also super super shiny. You guys are gon na love. It okay, so 3n. This is my favorite for anybody who wants to be just like that natural brunette, it's very cool toned, which I love, because a lot of my brunettes come in and they're like. I don't want to be red. I don't want any warmth like this is what I go for. So three level is like three levels darker than this and then N equals neutral. So it's gon na be that neutral, shade. Pretty much looks good on everybody, especially somebody who doesn't want warm tones. This is what I would go for for a brunette, okay, so 5n. This is literally my pretty much my favorite tone for somebody who wants to do a root blend root. Smudge. It always looks good on pretty much everybody. It'S a cool level 5. So I'd say: most people are my type of level, it's basically level 5 and it's kind of like I don't know. If you can tell cuz I've colored it, but growing in it's like this really cool brunette. It doesn't really have a color. It just kind of looks like muted, so that's what this is. It'S just a very muted, brunette, color level, 5 I'll use this on people who want root, smudges and I'll also use this with a low light. All the time. That'S like my favorite way to use it, but it's just very, very pretty and looks really good on pretty much everyone's skin tone. Okay, so this is O6GB. I love this tone. It is like this really kind of warm toffee color for people with one level lighter than me so level six, and it is just so pretty and I love using it as just a really nice refresh and glaze. This is what I would use on my clients for that. Okay, so for all my copper girls out there, this is what the C means so for copper. So this is 07C. It'S like a light. Copper color super super pretty. If anybody wants copper hair, like that kind of orange tone, redhead type of hair, that's what I would go for, it's like the C's or they have the CC's or the AA's. So I'll explain the AA's in a second. But this is a really pretty like medium redhead color, really really like this. For my redheads okay, also one of my favorites 07NB is one of those colors that looks good on everybody. It'S this really kind of chestnut blonde, like it's almost brown, but it's not there. It'S like a dirty blonde and I'll use this on people who don't want to have super like light highlights, but they still want them to look like kind of buttery and natural I'll definitely use this on people. I also use it for a middle color a lot so when I'm doing color melts this will be the darker color. Then 07NB is the transition color, and it looks so pretty so definitely check this one out. It'S really really pretty so. 08N is also one of my favorites, it's also in neutral again, remember and for neutral, so 8 we're getting higher and we're getting lighter. So this is what I'll use on somebody who gets highlights, but wants them to look very natural, but also like it has this. Like sandy color to it, it's so pretty I love it. It'S super cool, so I'll use this on somebody who wants that type of look like not super bright blonde at all, but, like this sandy tone, I'll put a picture up in the corner here to show you guys. Okay, I want to explain this. O 08GN equals green. I know that sounds scary, but this is for people with red hair who need to color correct it. So I use this on people who come in and they they're working through a color correction. This is what I'll use on them all over, because it completely takes away the red write me if you guys are gon na do this at home and if you're confused you and I can talk - and I can help you figure this out, but the GN's are The colors to go for, if you have red and you need to color correct it. Oh this is 9gb. I use nine levels constantly. I feel like that's what I mostly use. Redken shades EQ is mostly my blondes, so I have this one, which is GB, which is gold beige. So I know we don't want warmth. I know we don't want red, but when stylist use, gold or beige on you do not worry, it's gon na be a very neutral, pretty blonde. Even though gold like sets off that alarm like it's gon na, be yellow it's not at all. It'S gon na be just very warm and beautiful, so I'll use this a lot on my blondes. If you want something that's more of like kind of a warmer but still buttery blond. This is my favorite. Okay, I'm just gon na bring all three of these guys. Cuz, I use them all so much so 9b is something I would use on people who want to be super cool blonde. This is also great for color, correcting I'll toss b's into anything that is orange. So if you're lifting to an orange tone use a B that will totally eliminate the orange color and it's because on the color wheel, orange and blue are complete opposites, so they neutralize each other. So I'll put the little color wheel up here. Just always refer back to that when you're looking at your own hair, say: okay, I've got like some red here. So what are you gon na use? Green? It'S right opposite to it. So I also love 9nb, so pretty neutral blue. It is almost like a sand blonde super super, pretty it is just like very natural. The name is Irish cream, which I like love. I think that sounds so pretty, but it's even prettier on your hair. So if you have like 9 level, blond highlights - and you want them to feel very - like natural sandy like definitely use this one, so so pretty also, if you're going for something neutral like very natural blonde, 9-n is really really gorgeous. It'S I'd say this is more sandy blonde than anything. It does drop your highlights. So when you use 9 levels on my girls who are like they want to be bright, bright, blonde platinum, that's when I'll bring in clear. So you use a 9. Then you take clear with 9 level and I would dilute it so that it didn't drop completely to a 9. So if you have like super super blond highlights they're, probably a 10 or above level wise. So I would use clear to make this a 10 and then I put it all over and that way you're not losing the brightness of your highlights and you still get to have that pretty tone all over your sandy blonde hair. Ok guys so that it's just a really quick tutorial on shades eq toners. These are a couple of my favorites, but i'm gon na list a lot more information down below. If you need any help doing any of this or understanding it.

Comments
Molly Minter: I love the detail you took to explain all the toners. I had been getting my hair bleach and toned at a redken salon for many years and when I went over seas for 9 months I experimented with toners to keep my hair fresh. My hair stylist moved recently and I have been looking for the best redken fillers to dye my hair back to a dark brown, like the 3N you were talking about. Do you have an suggestions or tutorials for this process?
Emilee Crawford: You are a miracle!! I love your videos, thank you for taking the time of teaching us
Liana Saranga: Hi, first of all, thank you! this was brilliant, to the point and incredibly helpful. I would like to ask for your guidance on using this if possible - I never died my roots and have always had full head highlights thats super light and platinum. Since lockdown I also joined the wagon of diy junkies so tried to do this “rogue blonde” for the face frame part. I didnt want to damage my hair with bleach so I used inoa 10.01 with 30% developer and now its really brassy, orangy mess I bought the redken bleach and also 9nb and 9v I just want to make sure the front part’s brassiness fades into ashy platinum blonde (but not silver/purple). Could you possibly help me? Would really appreciate. Thanks!
Día Sol: I’ve been watching color videos for a couple years now, so afraid to color some of my extensión hair. Your videos are a God sent lol. It’s always a challenge to have someone lift hair to the dirty blonde/ ashy toned highlights I want. This helps so much. Thank you! I was also wondering, do you have a recommendation if I want to mix 9nb, 9n, and 9v together?
Miri F: Hi! First of all, thanks so much for doing these videos, they actually helped me a lot understanding the whole letters and numbers thing on the redken shades. I recently moved and I'm not able to see my usual hairdresser anymore and also none of the hairdressers around here are using the Redken toners. BUT she once wrote down the formula of Redken Shades EQ she used on my hair. Now I'm wondering if I would be able to recreate the color at home? It is four different shades of the Shades EQ toners, so would I for example just take 1oz of each toner and then mix it with 4 oz of the processing solution?
Asmita Morrison: I love your videos! Very educational and you explain it very well! Thank you for sharing ☺️ keep them coming!!
D O: Great video!! My hair is long, very dark, Kim Kardashian, look. For the past 15 years my hairdresser has been applying Redkends Shades to eliminate the red tones and add shine. I love the results and that's why I keep going back!! I've been wanting to do my hair at home for economical reasons but I felt I couldn't. I happened to come across your tutorial and it's very helpful. It would be great If you did more videos that focuses on darker hair or help me formulate my own. My question: On occasion, my hairdresser has said he uses Expresso and a small amount of Onyx. I haven't build up courage to ask what exactly would I need if I decided to do it myself at home. How much Expresso to onyx and adding shine? I also don't like my hair to look blue when the light shines on it. I'm just trying to figure all this out and would love, love your help. Thanks!
Jeff Golden: Excellent tutorial! You are good at explaining color terms in language everyone can understand. Thanks bunches!
Amy Hadaway: Daniella, would love to see an updated video with the new level 10’s. Favorite formulas etc., also add timing. I know 20 minutes is standard processing time, but we all know if you leave certain shades on that long they would get too dark. Do you have an average processing time for toning blondes?
Style Jett: Hi Daniella! Love your channel & congratulations on your having your own salon. I do have a question. I've been healing my over processed blonde hair for the last year or so. Most of my hair is new growth (lvl 7) with 6" or so of (lvl 9/10) It all has red undertones and I really would like to have a ton of icy platinum blonde highlights with your Deep plumb/violet brown base & lowlights. I know I need to bleach to get the lightness prior to toning the highlights but if I paint between, do I have to do anything to my base to get rid of this copper color running through my hair (especially underneath?)
K Sawyer: Thank you thank you thank you!! I messed up my bayalage and ended up with red/orange hair. After I watched a TON of videos I landed on your channel which is the most comprehensive on toners and Redken Shades EQ. I ended up doing 07NB for the root and 08GN for the rest and it came out perfect (like a medium blonde which is what I was going for to begin with)! I LOVE your videos & how they're easy to comprehend. Keep em coming!
Hoang Vuong: Love the way you explain everything so clearly. It really help me to understand it better. Thank you so much.
tara s: AMAZING!! I can actually understand everything you're saying and it all makes sense now because of the way you present the product thank you sincerely thank you
Debbie Packer: I've watched this video a couple times now. It's awesome! It explains Shades EQ better than any other I've seen. I recently did a caramel highlight kit on a light brown base color, and I'm not sure if I didn't leave it on long enough (I did 30 when it suggested 20-30 for light brown and 30-40 for medium brown). I used the blue toner that came with it, but my hair is kind of brassy now. Ugh. I decided to use Shades EQ to tone it (why I've watched it twice), and I can't decide between 0.5 ounce each of 09N and 09P or 09N and 09B. It's brassy, but not super orange, so I'm stuck on whether to go with the 09P or 09B for the other half of the mixture. Any suggestions?
Meeshala Bird: Your a great teacher thank.you! I have come out of retirement after 22 years.. 7 years ... its changed alot!. And we use shades at the salon im in ...but you made it so much more clear in the approach and explanations of the gorgeous colors you get from each shade. Good job. Thanks again
nyapple1978: I absolutely love how you explain the color and overall process. Can you please do tutorial on how to do an eye of the tiger balayage? Or if you can list the shades you would use to achieve that. Thanks
Amber Vi: Great video! Very informational :) I do have a quick question: Would you recommend using 5N Walnut to darken overall hair, and to help blend streaky blond highlights? I recently had my hair colored at a salon, and I left with my hair a lot lighter than I am comfortable with, and with unnatural streaky blond highlights. My natural color is black, and I am hoping to go darker, to a natural dark/medium brown. Most importantly, I want to get rid of these streaky highlights. What would you suggest? Thank you in advance! :)
paula smith: Thank you so much for this tutorial!! VERY helpful!
Varry Safari: Loveeee! You made everything so easy! Thank you!
Dana Milos: Thank you Daniella for really awesome and detailed explanations, very helpful! What would you recommend using on level 8 and above blond to neutralize the orange, but keep yellow tones? From your explanation, I understood that I should use mainly blue pigments, preferably 9B or a mix of blue and violet such as VB or NA or P rather than just violet (V) toners? Second question: what effect does GI have in terms of yellow or orange pigments on very light hair? Thank you again and looking forward to your next videos :)
Angeline Biswas: Clear also helps to let you develop the color for more than like 2 min. I use it so I can process 20min. I’ve realized if you leave the toner in for 2 min you basically get 2 washes before it fades, if you let it process 5 min, you get 5 washes, and 20 min as recommended you get like 4-6 weeks depending how often you wash your hair. Crystal clear is perfect for allowing shades EQ to process longer ❤️
One Love 11:11: Awesome video, thank you so much... I'm naturally quite dark on the roots and bleach to platinum blonde. I've been searching for a toner that loreal discontinued years ago. It wasn't an ashy platinum blonde it was more of a pearly, very subtle champagne shimmering hue that suited my skin colour as opposed to the ashy toners that wash me out... I've searched everywhere over the years to find a toner that replicates my old L'Oreal one. Could you suggest any of these toners that may be what I'm in search of, I'd be ever so grateful for your advice. Thanks again for sharing your video
STACIE BELMONTE: Thank you for this - you covered so much :) Question: Since I have orange, yellow, and some red tones in my bleached hair - can I mix toners in order to cancel out unwanted tones? i.e. Can 9 gb or 9b with 8 gn cancel out all orange and yellow tones? I'd like to create a beige blonde balancing of cool and warm.
Angelina Nobile: This is a great source of information about this product. Thank you so much. You did a great job. As well, you probably saved a lot of us from screaming at the top of our lungs when we look in the mirror after coloring our hair because we got it wrong with the color.
Allyson: Love this! So helpful, thanks so much for this lesson!
Ristra Fa: Thank you so much for this helpful tip! I'm trying to tone down my orange brassy hair and your video really helped :D
sarah: You’re really good at explaining , slowly and clearly , I’m changing to redken from L’Oréal and your videos are so helpful thanks !!
Allison Mysko: Hey Daniella, I gave myself an all over bleach and ended up at a level 9. It’s obviously a tad yellow and my end goal is to be at a 10-11 with cooler ashy tones with my roots darker for regrowth. I want to make it look as natural as possible. Normally I would go to a salon to do something like this, but I really love challenging myself and I find hair colouring so fun. If you got to the end of this comment, what would you recommend I do next? Should I do a second round of lightening with a 10-20 volume and then tone or just tone? Also, what toner combo would you recommend?
CanadianLinz: Hi Daniella. Thanks for this super informative video! My hair is currently super platinum (almost white) and I've been thinking about going to a more natural dark blonde or light brown. Do you think Shades EQ would be a good product to use for this? Thanks so much:)
Pamela C: Great video. Thank you for such an In-depth explanation of so many colors. I just used 9v on my light blonde hair and it turned me into a brunette. I’m so upset. I was going to order the 9gb since that is the color I ultimately want but now I am afraid it will also darken my hair. Any info you can give me is greatly appreciated. Thank you
alexa: This was soooo informative!!! I LOVED this!
Centennial High School ASB: Recently had my medium brown hair highlighted and it was over processed. The bleached strands are very WHITE making my hair look gray/green overall. The stylist added a toner which made the strands more caramel colored, but that has washed out. I'd like to tone my hair myself at home. Everything I find online solves the problem of orange or brassy hair, but nothing addresses how to fix over bleached highlights. What products do you recommend I use to add a deeper tone to the bleached hair? I'd like the highlighted hair to be more of a caramel blonde color. Thank you?
jeniferhamner: So thankful for your educational videos! You really should look into teaching. Hope the new salon is going well. Keep posting these, they help so much!
Veronica Espinosa: I learned so much from this video. I also like your style of how you described everything. Your tone is sweet and made me feel comfortable. I’m definitely looking forward to more videos from you.
sav: ive been watching countless videos on how to use and do a colour melt at home with these products thank you so much for all the explanations!!
Cathy Mcevoy: Thanks so much. Gonna colour my hair at home, this helped a lot! Currently have 6/7 virgin hair, badly grown out. Highlights very faded. Was thinking: 20vol + 8n base colour. Then if it pulls warm, which it might, maybe 9nb to get a sandy beige.
Travis J. Reed: Awesome video. I love this line and it definitely takes a lot of practice to figure out how to tweak it. I know this video is already really long but I think it would be great for you to do a video that focuses on the darker colors and on the blondes and then maybe on the warm and show real hair swatches before and after so we can see the change it made and how you normally use it. People are definitely obsessed with this line when it comes to level nine blond I think you could end up making a lot of videos just on different concoctions on light blond hair if you show swatches. Thanks
Jacqueline Alvarado: Thank you, love your video! I do have a question: which one of these toners or even which two combined toners would you use to accomplish caramel tone highlights?
Salt life s S: Great video, packed with expert knowledge! Thank you
Vanessa Smith: Love this so much! So helpful! Thank you!!!!
Özgen Halil - Acumen Finance: Fantastic information about the colours, really helpful. Thank you!
Hair by Miriam: hey! I love this video, super helpful! My question is what would you mix to make a nice buttery blonde if we didn't have 07NB? I feel like sometimes I get stuck with making new formulas when out of a certain color, I'm still a newer stylist! Also could you pretty much add 000 to any color to make the level lighter? Or do the colors have to be specific to the tone?
Carole Litman: Thank you sooo much, you have just become my favorite hair color expert. Your information is concise and invaluable. I spent days searching to find out what different ShadesEQ products are and how to correctly use them. You don't mess around with all the cutesy stuff, you just get down to business with clear explanations of meanings and uses. What a valuable service you are providing, esp. during this stay-at-home time!
Harold Pleitez: You are awesome! Thank you for doing this tutorials!
Kayla W: This was so helpful— thank you!!!!
Anda Ciutac: Great video and very helpful. If you could do one with the mixture you use for different shades and a before and after it would be great :D Also i was wondering how much of the 09B you mix when you want to get rid of a little bit of brassy hair, not really orange
Lauren Dass: Hi Daniella, I'm a new subscriber and have found your videos to be so educational and informative. I recently had a little accident while coloring my hair at home with demi-permanent color, I was trying to go to a medium brown and it turned out black like the EQ shade 1B :(. I've been growing my hair for about 6 months without coloring and it was really healthy and strong and then I messed it up with that accident. I would really appreciate some advice on how I can correct this color at home to get back to my natural dark brown color and continue to keep it healthy. I have the clear gloss and processor at home and currently use the Redken color-extend matics Ph bonder, shampoo and conditioner. Thank you!
Jeannine C: Thank you Daniella for the info, very helpful. Love the product as my hair is 100% gray and the shades eq leaves my hair so shiny and soft. However, I can't seem to figure out right color or colors to use. My hair is completely silver. I used the Amethyst Quartz color but my hair came out really dark because I really don't know what I'm doing as I've always gone to a professional but lately all they want to do is permanent color and cover up my grays. I went gray because I got tired of the gray roots showing within a week of coloring. That's why I love the shades eq. The color just washes away so I don't get that unsightly gray root look. Could you please suggest some colors that would enhance the gray or add some blonde to my grays. Nobody really does tutorials for us gray haired folks and it would be so helpful! Thank you!
Kristina: I’ve bleached my hair 3 times so I’m not sure what level it’s at... it’s currently a little orange at roots and on certain areas and yellow in others. What shades would you recommend me using? I want an ashy blonde color! Thanks so much :)
Chantelle: Thank you so much for the information. I can tell you love what you do! I had goldwell top chic with 10 vol/ level 8G and 7NA equal parts used on my hair and it was just a little orangey gold. (Some of the hair had grown out highlights before this was applied) Which do you recommend just to tone down some but not all of the warmth? I also have a regrowth of about 2 inches (level 7 with less than 50% grey) and wanted to try a root stretch. Do you recommend the shades eq for that as well? I have fine hair.
Mason Dissick: Just so people know, the "clear" does NOT make the color "lighter"!! It makes it PALER, it will not lighten your hair to a further level, it will dull the severity of the color.
Brooke Davey: You make this so much easier Daniella! ❤What are your favourite natural ginger/redhead formulas?
Heather T: Thanks for the helpful video! I would really love to find a chart or something that shows exactly what each undertone is. Meaning..I have difficulties figuring out the amount of warmth to coolness in each shade, especially the light ones. Is B more pigmented than T? Where does P fall in place? Is it cooler than V?
Lilly May: Thank you for your videos! Love them, very helpful
Ms Ortenzio: Hi Daniella: Thanks for the explanation on this, I used a ash toner once on my hair and it was terrible result, so im thinking of the 9nb or the one above it you mentioned. Your easy to understand thanks. Deb
M C: Extremely helpful!!!
Anita Monge: Hi Daniella! I just had a balayage done but it is way to light for me. (I am brunette around 2-3). I want to tone my hair down using Shades EQ. What do you suggest to bring it down to a 6 or 5 and to fight brassiness too? Thank you so much!
Leslie Palmer: How much are you charging for a gloss only treatment which takes 20 mins to process and lasts up to 6 weeks? And are you charging extra if you add gloss to your toners? Thank you for these videos! They are MORE than helpful!
Nynaa: This is What i was looking for!! Al this hairdressers with tutorials will never give advice when you contact them. Love this!
Aladrienne Tupper: This video is great!! As a hairstylist, I have not been doing hair for awhile so i feel like I’ve lost knowledge but now that I’ve watched this i want to get back into doing hair more than lashes!! Thank you! :)
Everyyoueverymiau: Thank you so much for this video. 9T+9V+9N is gorgeous.
Kirsten Millan: Another great video Daniella, thanks! I would love more info on the 08GN. I have ashy light brown/drk blonde hair. I tried eSalon, dark blonde ash to cover my grays and WOW - dark RED hair for 3" at the crown which I loathe. I would love a smokey ash color, but am afraid that this red will come through anything I try. Do you have any suggestions? Would the 08GN fix it? I have tried my regular purple shampoo and an eSalon soft red neutralizer. These were great for any brassiness in my longer hair, but the crown is still fiery!
Teri Vo: Thank youuuuu so much fit your videos Daniella!! You are sooo thorough and extremely knowlegeable with HAIR! And thank you for sharing/educating—from your heart. I ekect you for Redken’s spokesperson!! This the first I’ve seen you here. I will definitely be folllowing your videos...
The Gecko Community: Hi Daniella, in the past my colorist would combine a lighter (like 9N) with a darker 3-5 to cover my silver grey hair. I would get the darker hair with highlights. Do you recommend this type of mixing? I’m looking for a nice medium brown base with gold (not red) highlights. Thanks! Jean
Olivia Garcia: Thank GOD you've made this video. Seriously soooo helpful. Forever thankful! <3
Diana: This is an amazing video! I have dark brown hair and during quarantine used box color to cover my grays, my roots came out super brassy almost orange/red while the rest of my long thick hair is a darker neutral brown. do you recommend I use "08GN" on my roots alone to correct the brass? for the rest of my hair I want to keep it an ashy/neutral medium brown. Please help. thanks so much!
Glory A: Thank you so much for explaining!!!! Could you please do a video explaining more about the EQs for red heads
Alex Kerckhove: This was so informative!! Thank you so much
lewis Siders: Love your videos!! I pull really red to copper tones. I like a neutral brown hair color. I would love to see a video on how to uses shades eq in a gn. Thank you
Jenny Hislop: Thanks for this video, so helpful! I'm wanting to do a blonde root touch up at home. If after bleaching, the roots have yellow brassy tones when it's finished lightening, but I want a buttery yellow finish, will a 9GB remove the brassy tones but leave it blended well with the rest of my hair?
Michelle K: Wow, so helpful! I’ve been wanting to try Shades, but am always a little leery of trying new colors lines. Thank you!!
Les Smith: You’re amazing, I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you! x
S.T.Michael: Thank you! I’m an old stylist. Licensed in ‘92, worked as a stylist and paid my way through PT school for 7 years. I’ve kept my license up all this time. My daughter is now 13 and we are having some fun coloring her hair... foiling, highlighting, darkening, etc. However, I’m rusty and confused with all the new lettering... learned in this video that g is for green not gold, which would explain why when I darkened my daughter’s highlighted hair it had a terrible green Hugh. Waited a week and re colored with:shades e q cream, 6m mixed with 5 wn, then did very few baby lights and toned with 6n, and 7nb. Looks pretty good. She has gotten so many compliments. Her natural color is 6/7 mousy like me. You’re pleasant to listen to, thanks for the videos!! ♥️
Skittlesflavor1: Hi Daniella - I'm trying to cover grays - not many. I've been using 08N Mojave and sometimes use 06N Moroccan Sand. I do the mixture as you mentioned .5oz color + .5oz clear + 1oz processing solution. There are still there are some stubborn grays. I didn't want to use the permanent color. What do you recommend?
Rubeissorude: Your video was INCREDIBLY helpful! I have a quick question. I'm lifting dark brown hair to a caramel shade and I want rich golden teasylights/ balayage. Which glosses would you recommend? Thanks!
yury bolivar: Hi Daniella, thanks for the video. I have a question so for the blackest color do I have to mix it with 1 0z of the processing solution? Thanks
Souha: Such an amazing video ! It heped me a lot to choose a suitable shade for my hair ! thx alot ❤️
Brandie Murzin: I love your videos! Their so informative!
Hamiba: Thank you for making this video - such a good resource! Would you recommend 8GN to correct peach/salmon undertones in a level 6/7 bronde? I purchased that shade, along with "Malibu C Quick Fix For Color Correction," but am nervous about going to green, especially if it wont do much to fix the pinkish tones. For reference, a little over two months ago I went from a (colored) copper to a cool level 8/9 blonde with what should have been a cool level 6/7 brown shadow root, but is actually brown with more of a peach/salmon undertone. Blue toning shampoo hasn't helped and neither has the purple condition.
Emily Paull Acheson: I’m attempting to color my hair by myself for the first time. I used to use box dyes years ago but have had it professionally colored for 15 years. I’m a 9N beige-y blonde base with 10/10+ balayage highlights. I’m going to mix 9N Cafe au Lait with 9NB Irish Cream and I love your tip of adding the Clear to dilute the colors so my highlights won’t get too dark. What ratios would you recommend? I’m thinking 0.5 oz 9N + 0.5 oz 9NB + 1 oz processing solution, but how much clear to add to keep my highlights? Thank you!!

Angie T: That looked a heck of a lot easier than traditionally doing the colors, especially blondes which I am. Has this technology been used in the past it is it fresh and new? I love it
Mandie Renee: Hello! I have recently started using Redken shades, and appreciate all your videos! I have a question. I have a client who is a level 5 and used a highlift color blonde on roots. Her hair is now orange and brassy. Can I use a shades toner all over to get more of a beige?
Sharyn Lindsay: Such a great video- very informative, thank you! :)
Sherry Dufrenne: Yay! Love this video! Thank you. So excited for you and your new Beautiful salon. I hope you can video some results using these Shades on your clients. Also a how you style/ beachy wave tutorial.
Lauren Richardson: Thank you so much! I am working on a brunette and transitioning her into a lived in blonde balayage. Right now, I have her root smudge 5nn but where I lightened her she is pulling all the red and oranges. Would this be a good way to incorporate the GB? Thank you so much!
Angela Agnew: Great video ! Very helpful! Thank you
Zuhal Kamis: So helpful! Thank you ❤️
Realm2012: Hi Daniella, I am trying to do a shadow root. Currently I have a lowlight which is a 7N.( caramel colour) and a highlight which is a buttery blonde around a 10. For the shadow root I used 6NB and it turned the hair brassy and it muddied the highlighted area. It did not go as dark as I would have liked. My natural hair colour is between a 6 and 5. I like your roots. Is the solution using 9b to tone the brassiness and 5n to darken the root area?
Belinda 007: You are so good at explaining perfectly!kudos
Kevin Johnson: Thanks Benita.....your info is a such a blessing ....BTW love the Ghirardelli brunette shade in another video...winter toner series and awesome shade....
Katherine Margeson: Please do a tutorial about refreshing natural red hair. What shades do you mix to avoid going too brown or fake primary red?
Rachel Brown Phillips: love this...I'm trying to fix my orange, yellow roots from a box dye I did on my own (I'm an aesthetician, licensed but not for hair) I was recommended to use 09v but I don't want to be too gray/cool. The profile pic is my normal hair highlight shade I prefer. thoughts?
Trader Girl: Great video! I’ve been wanting someone to post a video about this exact subject for the last two years! I’m a fan! Thanks!
Angela Hoffer: This is so helpful I get so confused with this line thank you so much girlfriend!
