ABOUT DANIELLABENITA (ME):
I’m a hair stylist trained in Los Angeles and working in Downtown LA. I'm taking clients so please contact me if you are interested! I’ve loved making videos and home movies since I was very little, and am now sharing my work on YouTube and Instagram as a beauty vlogger. Say hi in the comments! I love getting to know you all!
Hey everyone, so today I wanted to dive into shades eq. If you've been watching. My tutorials you've seen that this is my favorite demi-permanent to use for toning and blending and lowlights. It really is so versatile and you'll find so many ways to use it.. So, first off I wanted to just tell you what shades eq is that way you can educate yourself and also educate your clients and will make it much easier for you to sell this to them and make them feel comfortable.. So I wrote some notes here. The number one thing I need, I think people need to know is that it's ammonia free., So that means that theres no lift at all, which is awesome. That means you're not gon na get any type of brass or anything color that you wouldn't want lifting you put it on. You know it's just a deposit and it also improves shine in your hair, and it also is very very moisturizing, which is great. Clients are going to love that soon, as you say, hey ammonia-free and also conditions and add shine. They'Re gon na be sold its it's just a really great product to use.. I use it for everything i use it for toning. I use it for any type of blending. I want to do lowlights it's just the best color Corrections are, is my go-to. I just wanted to dive in on how i mix it. I had a couple questions from people on YouTube asking me to show this. So, let's get into just a mix it first. What you want to start off with is the processing solution, so this is like 10 volume, 20 volume, 30 volume for volume - that's what you're mixing with the color with, but this obviously is not going to lift so we're just going to call it zero volume. So what we're going to do is I'm going to pick 5n. if you guys haven't used 5n. This is my favorite root for almost everyone. This is what i just did on myself. Actually and i'll. Explain what i just did it a little bit just so you guys know, but 5n is one of my faves and what you're going to do is grab just a measuring cup and what it says on the side is 1234 oz. So what you're going to do is depending on how much hair they have or how much you need. I would start with less so you don't waste product, as we all know how expensive product is. So one ounce goes a long way because you're gon na mix it with another ounce of processing solution. So it really is a lot of color. Is this stuff's very liquidy if you used it? So what I'm going to do is mix 1 ounce of 5n and then I'm going to do one ounce of processing solution and that's going to be your you're mixing ratio. So when I say 1:2 in my tutorials I mean 1 ounce to one ounce. So one ounce of 5n and one ounce of processing solution. So let me show you that really quick, there's one ounce there's two ounces of your product, so i had actually leave five and in there just because that's the only 1i have to use it on my client later. So this is the amount that you're going to use on a client that you just want to start off with. You can always mix more, but so 1:1 is usually my mixing ratio and let me get a brush, I'm going to show you how liquidy this is. So if you can see it really is like water. It'S super super liquidy, so i always tell people when they're beginning the uses just be careful, because it is so liquidy that if you put too much on the brushes, you so used too a thicker color. Consistency like that thick and will actually stick this stuff does not stay on your brush, so be really careful, so you don't get any drips or like splashes like the wrong place, because that's just the worst. When you're blowing out, you can see like a big black spot that you accidentally brushed on just take it slow and really blend it. This stuff, like goes a long way on the. So now i'm going to explain what I do with clear. Ok! So now what I'm going to explain is what I do. A lot is i'll delute with clear. So basically, if I want the 5 to look like 6, i'm going to put clear in there so that it dilutes, it basically makes it a lighter color. That way, if you ever run out of something and you need of 6n, you can make it with a 5 easily. So what I do is take half an ounce of clear. Let me do that for you half and then there's there's the ounce. You guys can see that and then the rest of that with 5n. You do another half an ounce, you put it all the way to an ounce. So there's there's that so now 1:1 means you do the same amount to make it to the processing solution. So now I'm going to do one ounce of processing solution and that's going to give you the right mixture for your glaze and now what you made, because you used half of clear You made a level 6 and now you can use that and know that you're, Not gon na have to dark of a root, and it's pretty much the same texture clear makes it a little gooier, but it's still the same type of texture. Stir it up real, quick and you're good to go. I just want to go over my favorites as far as shades EQ goes for some toners that i use for blondes, I'm constantly grabbing 9V violet means that you cancel out yellow so anytime. I want to see somebody with no yellow in their hair. I grab this and most of the time people want to be super bright blonde, so I'll clear this out with like an ounce of clear and that way it'll be almost a 10 or even 11. So if you want to do that, so you have the littlest amount of like drop-age. As far as the lightness goes, that's why i recommend for this. I also love 9 NB is such pretty colors like a creamy creamy blonde. It'S like pretty natural. Looking as far as I'm like the shades eq colors go, this is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful color and i'll mix, 9NB and 9V a lot and there's such a pretty combo so play around with that see, if you like it, if you're afraid, when you're doing these colors And not gon na look good, take a test strands, so pull a piece of hair out and put the color only mix a little bit and put the color on it can see what the color looks like and what I'll do is I'll. Let it sit for like 10 minutes and then I'll blow out that piece really fast. I can see what its gon na look like if you're taking a big risk in your you're scared, it's better to not put it all over their head. If you don't know, that's a quick solution for that. I also love the gb's. Any GB in the Redken line line is so freaking pretty. It is like the perfect amount of gold. It'S not too much. Yellow, though, that's what i have on my hair right now is I have 6GB right here. It'S like this sandy blond color and then I 5n up here. So I wanted to explain this to you guys anyway, what I did the other day. I had that pretty much just highlights and my root was growing out it just looked it just awful be honest. All i did was sectioned off the front like this, and then I took 5n, and I painted it all over my root until about here. As you can see - and I kept up front, but I painted this part just a little bit and then I brushed the 5N every which way I brush it and that blended it and then I took 6GB - and I placed that from here to here - and i Did the same thing with my comb and I just brush it and I used the wide tooth comb: don't use the small bristles, it will pull too much of the color down and it will mix and spread way too much. So I use the wide tooth comb and I just brush it everywhere. Let it sit for about 20 minutes, and then I held out my front pieces and my ends just to make sure it did it bleed into it, because if you let this dark, color bleed into your blonde. It'S gon na grab like that to make it turn. Greenish and start what happened to me before it's the worst so make sure you hold out. If your client really light pieces hold those out the shampoo and then rinse the dark color out as much possibly can, and then you can put them down or what I also do is add conditioner to their blonde pieces first before i even put them in the Shampoo cool that way they are saturated, they're, not gon na grab the color, and you say so yeah, that's what I did 5n and 6GB super pretty color melt and if you're, trying to experiment with color melts use a 6 and a 7 or a 7 and An 8 Those two one level distance is super super pretty yeah. If you guys want me to go into a list of like my favorite, toners, redhead or blondes, or anything like that, let me know I can make a little list for you guys and give you that, so you have all those formulas ready for. You actually think that would be pretty cool you guys and yeah. If you need something a little more in-depth. Let me know i'll get one of my clients in here and ask them to get in here pretty much to a whole consultation with you guys on Redken Shades EQ. So thank you, but I just wanted to give you a good base as far as this goes. So thanks guys for watching i'll, be posting another tutorial very soon and i'll see you guys and thanks Bye,
Comments
Maggie Gonzalez: I'm new to Shades Eq! I have tried the walnut and I absolutely love it. I feel like it can go a long way with skin tones and hues. I love your videos! Thank you for sharing! I would love to see the list of your formulas!
Claire Reynolds: Thank you Danielle so much for your time and great info. I am qualified to a level 2 and just want learn about colour correction and toning so much so your videos just help immensely! Will be looking out for more. Hoping we will be able to get hold of the EQ range here in England.xx
Fashionwork12: As a junior stylist this is one of my holy grail toners. I am so comfortable with it and it is pretty predictable. Thank you so much for the video it was soo informative & I learned stuff I didnt even know! Thank you so much!!!!
Pianoforte-ad: You explained so well, you're a great teacher. I believe most hair dressers don't want to share details of how they do it but they fail to understand that sharing knowledge doesn't mean losing business. Love your honesty ❤
Ms. MathIsland: You really should be a teacher for color! I am a teacher, and you explain it very well! Can you do more videos of showing color correction with different toners? before and after? Thank you!
Shalom: Daniella, thank you for this video. So well explained. You helped me so much!
Gamers Nation: Hi Daniella. Love your videos! Thank you for making them so easy to understand. ! I just wanted to know if when mixing two different colors does that mean we also double the amount of the processing solution? I'm gonna try the 9V, 9NB ( 1 oz each) so how much processing solution do i use? 1oz? or 2 oz? Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks!
Cami Swenson: When adding the clear for the toner, do you do a 1:1 equal ratio as well as processing solution? So say: 1 oz 9v, 1 oz processing solution, and 1 oz clear? Or would that dilute it too much? Love your videos
Michelle: hi-i know you posted this a few years ago. hope you're still answering questions. is this done on dry hair or damp hair? also, do you shampoo afterwards or is it a thorough rinse? im nervous to do this on my own. my hairdresser guided me on the right color. do you suggest leaving it in for 10 mins the first time and see how it goes? thank you so much.
Sarah Dulat: Hello again! Have you ever dealt with expired Shades EQ? I know as a hairdresser you may not have experienced this, but since I tone my hair no more than every four weeks, I have bottles that sit around for a while. The last time I toned with shades I noticed it smelled a little like rotten eggs on my hair and when I rinsed it out my hair felt very damaged and tangled until I applied conditioner. It just felt very different as if I had fried my hair. Is this possible with Shades EQ? I figured expired products would just be less effective, could they have an adverse reaction?
Tovah Romanov: I’m with Veronica! With Platinum being the new IT, for now, adding V and clearing it, what about Opal? I really want her to have a “I just had a Gloss Treatment” look and really we did a touch up, toned out a few streaks of yellow and dropped the EQ Opal in all while making it look like she received a gloss treatment at the same time....time is money and she doesn’t want to be there for 3 hours anymore than I want here there that long!! She’s got beautiful platinum 98% natural hair to middle of her waist. There is NO ROOM for error... HELP.......❤️❤️❤️❤️
Vanya Pancheva: Hey! I love the video and your explanation is so easy and understandable. I was just wondering since I’m about to tone my hair and I’m mixing some colors I was about to mix the crystal clear in it so it can give shine and make the color look just better. I didn’t know that it actually lightens up the color which I don’t really want. Do you think I can still add it and will not make it that much lighter or I can use it as a stand alone treatment with the processing solution after I do the toning?
Manna Styles: This has been the simplest explanation as far as the breakdown and colors to use when using shades eq. Thanks so much!
Laura Montero: I love your videos!! I mistakenly used toner (wella with 20v) all over my hair and it brightened my highlights perfectly BUT it pulled my natural 6/7 root almost orange . I was thinking of using shades eq to do a root shadow or balayage to get my roots back to their natural state. Seeing none of your highlights visible above though makes me nervous though (you look amazing I’m just looking for more of a balayage). Also you saying blonde can turn green terrifies me too lol I got my hands on 6N, 9N, 9T, clear, and processing solution. Would it work to paint the 6N/ clear in my roots, and then paint 9N/9T in the middle, and 9T/ clear to the ends and front pieces. Would this blend?
USA 1: This is a great tutorial. I followed your directions and it worked. This is my first time coloring my hair on my own. I do have a few questions though. My natural base is a level 8.5 but I regularly get a full set of foiled highlights so it ends up being around 9. I used 1 ounce 9NB and 1 ounce 9V +2 ounces of the processing solution. I did the roots first then let that sit for about five minutes and then ran it through the rest of my hair for 11 more minutes. Then I rinsed it out because it was starting to look dark in the mirror so I panicked. It actually came out a pretty color, very natural looking. But a bit darker and more "ashy" than I hoped. Also I have some gray around my temples and at the roots and it seems to resist the color. Do you have any tips for how I can better adjust the formula and my method to improve next time? Thanks so much.
Rachel Robert: Favorite color video ever! Have you tried 6NA as a root smudge/base breaker yet? My mids to ends are a 9/10 (which I'm happy with) but I'm pulling a little red at my roots. I was thinking the 6NA may help to counter the red/orange a bit. Or do you think the 5N would be enough to counter? Thanks in advance and I love the way you explain in the video!!
Judy Klynstra: Love the video, thank you! I'm trying to formulate a level 5-6 Auburn shade, red/brown, do you have a fave formula for that in your bag of tricks?
A Sal: So refreshing to see a video which was to the point & informative. I did enjoy your video, you gave good step by step instructions.You were professional & not silly as some videos can be.
Amanda Albers: Thank you for this!!!! Yours is the first helpful video I've come across while trying to educate myself on this product. I would LOVE more videos on shades eq formulas. I'm wondering specifically... Which colors would you use if you were trying to brighten up a dulled out platinum blonde and also add a ashy level 7 root smudge? <3
Carroll K: Your videos are so informative! Thank you for that! When you tone, do you usually do it on wet or dry hair?
Lucy S: This video popped up when I was searching, so a little late lol. Your videos are so helpful! What formula would you use if there is still too much orange after lifting from Level 3 to 8/9 (using Schwarzkopf Blond me). Or would you suggest another round of bleaching first before toning?
Parul Sheth - Rana: Just subscribed. I am not a stylist. Came across your video because I was looking for tutorials about toners using Shades EQ. Your video is the MOST informative and so easy to understand ( for us non-stylists). Would love to see tutorials on toners with Shades EQ. I am a level 4 with highlights all over ,which get brassy real quick . I would love to see a tutorial to tone brassy hair and get the warmth out.
Leslie Taylor: Great explanation! Easy to follow ! Thanks!
Fabiana Di Camillo: Hi Daniella, I love your tutorials and explanations! I am not a hair stylist. I just love hair! thanks,
Lucy Hepworth: What ratio to do you use when mixing a violet with a warm tone, basically when you are mixing more than one redkin to cancel out yellow but add a warm at the same time? Thanks in advance
Louise Hopkins: Fab! I’ve only just come across your channel and I am loving it so much learning a lot from just watching a few of your videos going to go through them all so I can get a better a understanding of Redken! Thank you so much for posting such informative videos xxx
Ashlei Mac: Thank you so much for this great video! I am by no means a hair professional but since moving across the country I have yet to find a hairstylist who can achieve what I want. I've spent SO much money on my hair and just want an easy way to tone at home. I'm unsure about which color I should use but will keep looking into these. THANK YOU again!!
A A: Great video! I had a question about storage of the colored shades eq gloss bottles - when you do not use up all the 3 oz in one session, how do you store the rest? Can you store it for a few months or is that no safe once you've opened it/would not yield quality results since it oxidizes abd darkens in the bottle? Thank you!!! :)
Natalia LoPresto: Hello Daniella, great video. Right to the point. What is your favorite formula for low lights for blonds? Once in 6 month I would do low lights for my highlighted blondes. I have never used EQ. Let say for level 10.
Deanna Gilmore: Thank you for this video. I have been bleaching and coloring my hair myself for about a year now and your video was super easy to follow and helped me decide on the Redkin EQ shades/toners. I have found my new happy place :) Once you get over your fears of bleach and color, it's not so hard. The Redkin products, by far, are the best on the market. I finally got rid of the red/yellow because of this video. Thank you for helping those of us that simply can't afford the salon anymore. Of course, it would be my preferred choice but current circumstances are what they are. Much appreciated.
Jae Nice: I am a blond needing NN for grey roots but this has been very informative. I am not a beautician but a self learner for my hair. Thank you for explaining in simple form how to... will try.
sonia zuniga: Thank you so much for sharing your TRUE knowledge on Shades EQ. Just found you and subscribed, I am looking forward to watching all your videos! Blessings on your new business! You will be very successful!❤
Kamila Wright: Hello!!! My hair level is around 3 as you can see in the pic but I started the process to go blonde. I had already 3 bleach sections in 2 months because I don’t want to damage my hair that much ( I have fine hair)I have the level that I want on my middle length and ends which is around #9 but the top ( no roots) still warm/orange stage I don’t want to bleach more but I don’t like that color either, my hair dresser used level #7a and # 8a to toned but still too warm/orangy she did a balayage and foils but I’m thinking in no comeback and try to do it myself because I haven’t had luck in find a good hair dresser. That’s been said How can I lift my root to a level #6? And the section that still warm/orange can I use a lift color? Or what I can do? And the parts where is blonde already which toners can I use? I’m looking for something no too gray or to gold. Sorry I know was a long message but I’m hoping you can help me.
Lise Bowles: Daniella, You are adorable and a great teacher! I am wondering if there is any possibility Shades EQ will cover gray or does it just wash out? I have to do color every three weeks because my hair grows so fast and I would love to do the EQ occasionally to give my hair a rest from the 20% processing solution and also to add shine! I use the Redken Color gels or the Redken Creams for regular coloring. My hair is a level 8-9 blonde with highlights. I would love to not have to do highlights as frequently as I do because of the bleaching, but thats another matter. Anyhoo, Ive used the 9GB in the gels and its a good color with the 20. On the top of my head Im about 60 % gray but underneath Im considerably less. I bought the 09N and the 09G in the shades, figuring I could neutralize to much brass or green with that combo. Am I wasting my time regarding the gray, should I just stick with the color gels? Thank you, Lise
Michelle Berg: Super helpful video and easy to understand! Thank you
Annie Ephlin: So so helpful! Love your videos :)
ava harris: Amazing tutorial thank you would love to see your other toners
pat zo: Thank you! You make it so easy to understand
karlene Boney: Thank you, your videos are so very helpful and easy to follow.
V V: Thank you for your explanation! I am a stylist and I am trying to do my sister in laws hair. This is the first time I am using the EQ products. I want to get her hair blonde without bleaching the roots. She has 4 inches of regrowth with bright blonde highlights. What do you think will work out well to brighten her up?
Ramona Sobrino: yes, thanks daniella, your videos are very informative. how long should you wait from the time you color your hair (permanent) dark brown to apply highlights or balayage? and what should i use? thank you. i would like caramel balayage.
bmaxGG: SOOOO amazingly helpful!! Thank you so so soooo much!
Paula Keiper-Realtor: Hi Daniella, I love your videos. In this time of Coronavirus, we are doing our own hair at home. With my daughters hair, she wants blond highlights but no gold and not silver. I saw where you recommended the Redken 09V and 09NB. Do I use just the 00 cream or a processor too? Also do you think it would be a good color as she is a dirty blond or dark blond naturally. Also, having a hard time finding the 09NB but found 08NB and remember you said if I add more 00 it will lighten a shade? Do I use developer and 00 with the other 2?
Tina Turner: Great explanation for non-stylists. I’d love to know what toners you recommend to achieve copper red on dark brown hair
Abigail Coffman: Ok I need some major help! I love your videos so thank you so much for the lovely advice! I currently have level 8 golden blonde. It's currently on the red/orange brassy side especially towards the root. I want to cool it down and maybe even bring it to a neutral blonde. What shade/toner cocktail should I use of the shades eq to achieve this?
Tracy Angel-Knowles: OM Gaaaaawwwh?!?!U explained this all so well!!Thank u for taking the time & giving the best instructions that I have personally heard(& I’ve seen/heard A LOT...) thus far!!Very down 2earth like u were just having a normal conversation with u’r friends.Very relatable & so easy 2 follow.Not 2 mention that u just gained another subscriber as of today so keep up the good work girlfriend!!!;-)✌♀️
BROOK COX: hi. I use to work in a salon as a teenager as a shampoo tech for a big salon. I got to apply Redken Shades Eq to clients & feel very comfortable with the product. I let my hair go brown although I am a born snow white blonde. My natural hair has turned such a salt and pepper color thats so drab. I kept it highlighted until it was almost all over for a while. I'm tired of the salon visits and ordered redken color eq creme and 10 volume pro-oxide 06na cocoa brown. I loved the mushroom tones in it but it was slightly roo dark and it faded soooo fast. I want to keep the color and only touch up some on roots occasionally. How can I get the mushroom brown color, it last, and not buy 10 different colors
ゲンガー: Are you able to do base placement sheets for your balayage,babylights etc? Great vid btw
Tara M: Hi!! BEST video out there! Thank you!! Question - I have blonde highlights in my brunette (level 5) hair, maybe about a level 8 in the front and a level 7 in the back. Theyre turning orange and yellow and I want them a bit more blended. Would 7p and 8gb work well together? Thank you!
Fabiola Rodriguez: Love this girl!! So much information that I can actually understand lol
Kawaii Franchesca: This is such an informative video. Thank you for sharing
VANDAGOAT: Thank you, great tutorial ♀️
Kristin Newland: Hi! I love your videos they are super informative! I am a natural blonde who has gotten darker i recently tried bleaching my hair now i have alot of brass but thanks to your videos i was able to order and try the shades eq 9n with equal parts clear...i love the results! Is there a similar permanant color by Redken i could use so as to have the color not wash out so quickly? Sorry this is so long...thx!
Theresa schweitzer: Thank You for your help! More formulas please! I am new to shades EQ but it is something I NEED to use..
Dayana garcia: Pleaseee do a list of your favorites formulas I love your videos
Lai Saeteurn: So amazing how you so clear about everything. Thank you so much
Angela: Hi! Can you use EQ to cover grey roots? My hair is medium to dark brown at the roots and caramel baylage. The last time I touched up my roots I used clairol hair dye but it came out too dark. So now I need to cover the new grey growth and correct the darkness. What should I use?
A Kezia: Hey there, I'm considering using shades eq for my vibrant red. I have dark brown outgrowth but since it is only depositing, should I lighten my roots to the same color as my ends (a level 7 blonde) or is there an easier way to lift my roots without damage? Thanks!
Lisa Elie: I would love the list on best toners for different hair color. thank you in advance!
blackmoonpearl: The most explanatory video on products ever! Thank you.
Corina Corjan: Hei, Daniella, I just loved your video. I'm not a hair stylist but I like to experiment a lot:). I have a question: the colour that you tone your roots with, is it amonia free and if yes...and because of this...does it wash out easily in time? I mean if you want to lift your hair again, up higher..to the top of the head, will it work? To lift that brown root? And what colour processor do you use ? Zero lift on both roots and highlights? Thank you so much!
Leah Marie: Excellent tutorial thank you!
Ericka romero: Thank you , for sharing your knowledge. You been so helpful.
Amber: Question please. I understand you mix the "color" at a 1 to 1 ratio with the processing solution. However with the toner do you also mix with the processing solution? Or does toner just go directly on the hair?
Sandman60: Hi I am so glad that I found your channel. I have never had anyone to explain color and it is amazing!! I wish you were my hair dresser!! Keep the videos coming!!
m foth: Hi I've used shades eq for 1st time today . Were in the uk . I did a root smudge of 7n and 7p. Then toned ends with 10ml 9v ,10ml 9p and 10ml of clear and 30ml of processing solution But the consistency was different in the ends colour then in the root smudge. It felt more like a gel rather than liquid . Is that normal .the results was fab . But the consistency was really odd compared to the root stretch .Thanks
Shantel Isaac: I really don’t understand the thumbs down that’s crazy to me but you explained perfectly you are amazing thank you sm. Toning can are really hard to understand and you explained it so well.
Sarah Wright: This actually made complete sense! Explanations always sound like a foreign language ... THANK YOU!
Dee_xx: @Daniela Benita This is very helpful. For a level 10 all over bleached blonde who wants to start highlighting and blending in her white and grey, but who wants to remain light, would you use clear and 9v and 9p and 9t??? Thanks if you can answer!
Tran Nguyen: This video is so helpful. Thank you so much!! Can you show us how to do toner with brown hair or violet red? Please!!!
E B: Hello, love your channel! I have a question that I hope you can answer. Every time I go to get my hair colored the same thing happens... let me explain, they always cover my grays first and then apply a toner all over. However, after one wash (days later) I notice the toner disappears and the brassiness that was covered by the toner shows up and on top of that my grays start to peek out on the crown of my head where it’s so very noticeable, makes me so mad. So I’m beginning to wonder if I’m asking for them to do the wrong thing on my hair, at this point I don’t even know what to ask for but what I basically need is a root touch up every four weeks and for them to be able to match the rest of my hair color ... maybe I can do my hair at home from now on. Tired of throwing money away...Please help me! Thank you!
Dolores Cruz: I just find you and I subscribed I was looking for this color line education and you were well explained Thank you so much for your time many blessings.
Kylee Reik: I’m at about a level 5 or 6 right now and my color pulled way too green ashy. What would you recommend I use to tone that down a little bit? I want to use the shades EQ
Stephanie Moreno: What is the usual time range for leaving level 9 toners on ?
Ashleigh Johnson: So recently I colored my hair with 09GI Hampton, but it wasn't as light as I anticipated. I know this only deposits, but is there maybe a different shadeI should use to lighten it up? Or would you say this won't work for me? I like how gentle it is, and really did my hair feel healthy. Any help/advice...thanks so much :) PS..love your videos!!!
Kim M: Enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for the insight. :-) If I want to take my medium brown hair ( natural) and lighten it, will the EQ still work? Ive been told that I cannot do this without harsh chemicals.
PlumpPenguinPaints: I really loved this! I'm not a stylist, I am a nail tech but worked in a small full service salon for years and have a huge interest in hair so I always paid attention. I call myself a kitchen-tician :) Anyway, i love doing colour, but am always scared of toner because of a huge accident back when I was just learning about self colouring etc. I looked like queen Elizabeth and I was 27! LOL Anyhow, you did a great job explaining without being too technical that those who don't know anything about colour wouldn't understand, but also without being too layman... or talking down. Loved this and I am totally a new subbie now. You mentioned talking about other toners you use for reds and such... yes please!!! I will be waiting very excitedly! You were awesome girl! Amanda!
de fe: Not a hair stylist but I love ur videos and I have a question ! What is the clear shade for ? Can u apply it alone just to add shine to ur hair or is it to lower the intensity of the colors ?
Eazzyy: Can this be used to lighten hair color? I know it doesn’t lift your hair but can you get similar results aka make your hair look a lighter color? This is my first time doing a Demi- permanent and I just want to make sure I do it right.
Muby Stubuff: Just had a gloss treatment on my salon and want to replicate at home. I am about a 6, golden.. Would you recommend the 1/2 oz 5n + 1/2 oz clear + 1 oz processing solution OR would you just recommend using a 1 oz of 6 and 1 oz of solution ? I guess I am asking which do you think is darker, the 1/2 dilution of 5 vs the 1 full oz of a true 6 ? I am worried about depositing too dark a color ... Thanks, and great video!
Sophie H: Great Video, I've started coloring my own hair, I needed a Shades EQ video like this one.. Thank you!!
jen miller: Hi Daniela, love your video with very informative details about using redken. I am freshly cosmetology graduate and would like to get an intro for redken gloss. They said I have 40 eq gloss to choose would u help me to get an idea of lists at least 20 of good gloss to have . Tia!!
Elena Ермакова: 1 ounce is 29.5 milliliters (For those who measure in milliliters) Thanks for your video. Very helpful
Shana Frye: Hi, my hair was bleached to a very pale yellow today. We got rid of any brass but it's a little to bright to me next to my heavy natural root. What would be a nice 9 level that is not too ashy because I do not want it to look gray. Maybe more honey but not darker. And not too golden, LOL. Thanks.
Warda Mukhtari: Thanks Benita that was very excellent & so useful explanation I will start to use these shades
patricia martorell: Before applying the color, do you have to bleach the hair, or do you apply the color directly with the processing solution( i have grey hair and want to do that colour at home,Thanks a lot, from Spain)
Patra K: Great video, but isn't hard to do this on yourself? I've tried so many combinations to get to a buttery blonde color and it's not working out for me. I'll do 5N with the clear to make 6, to cover my gray and to blend it in with my light red/orange hair. But any suggestions on how to go to a buttery blonde, equivalent to a 09NB Irish Creme color you showed in your other video?
Jess: Thanks so much for this review! I just had a quick question. You mentioned about mixing 9NB and 9V. Do you mix it all at once and put it on? (9NB +9V+Processing solution) Or do you just use 9NB apply it and put 9V again on top? I'm scared that mixing the two colors might turn into another color lol.
Jacqueline Gjidoda: Hey Daniella! So I wanted to tone my balayage to a darker shade with this product BUT will it change the color of my un-dyed hair too?
Roxanne Mclaughlin: Thank you I love these toners they are the best. My hair is about a level 9 blond right now. I have 9t,9v,9p,and 9n I love the silvery beige blond colors kind of like the bottom of yours. What do you think would be a good ratio measurement for toning with the colors I have to keep the neutral/silvery beige blonde?
The Riding Switch: Please make a list for redheads. Your videos are very helpful. Thanxoxo a Bunch!
Danielle Moore: Should I use the number 2 ph binder before or after I tone? Say I bleach my mid shaft and ends and then bump my roots? Should I apply the blonder next and then tone or vice versa? I just recently discovered you on utube and you are my new Favorite! You explain and simplify things so well, thank you for all of the wisdom you continue to gift us with! Also, I recently purchased the redken binder so should I bump the developer when bleaching like you do with olaplex?
Sky blue: Your a life saver very informative . Thank you
skyler nicole: this was so helpful thank you !!
OzoneMama3008: Hi, Since this is so thin would you be able to mix a thickener to the mix such as Scruples Whip?
Tinka Klyuchnikova: Hi Daniella, I need your advice again. where is the difference in the mix of clear and processing polution? My hair is much brighter now with many highlights and I want to have a nice gold tone. should I take 09g or rather 07g? the shade shouldn’t be too red but also not too cold blonde. thanks in advance for your answer
Gracious Grit: If I wanted to combine 9T, 9B, 9P, 9V... would you still recommend adding any clear ? If so, how much quantity?
Janet Dungan: I bought 09NB, so glad you recommended it. I also got 09N, cafe o-lait, I want to lighten my roots to a Childs shade of dirty blonde and then do platinum highlights. if I tone the highlights, I should get a bottle and apply to towel dried wet after solution is rinsed out? and what shade and solution do you recommend, I want more shine
Kelsey Bacon: Love this!! I feel like a learned so much
Elaine Lee: I had a bayalge done on my hair where I had vibrant red added to my asian dark brown hair. Alot of the tutorials here speak to blond hair and fight brassyness there but nothing on the dark brown hair and vibrant red. I would like to gloss to tone it down. Can you do a tutorial on that?
