BEST VIDEO! Thanks for going over everything thoroughly. SWATCHES would have been the icing on the cake -- or more photos of results from the toners you mentioned for each situation. THANK YOU!!
I love that quote! I’ve struggled with balancing money with gratification through making people feel good. And I came to the same conclusion as well that as long as I’m making people happy and making them feel better and making their life better through my work then the money will come because they will continue to come back. This allowed me to focus on my clients and not my dollar. It is absolutely paid off.
This is an amazing video for someone new to shades! I have been using Shades EQ for years but not to its fullest potential. Thank you girls for introducing me to different shades and how I might be able to use them from day to day
Hi girls, I’ve essentially grown up in my mom’s hair salon and although I’ve observed her cutting, coloring, and styling hair all my life, there are just too many critical lessons and processes that must be taught and understood when applying any of those skills. And because it always looked so effortless to watch, and I thought I could do anything I put my mind too, (lol) I convinced myself that I wanted to do my own from now on...lol. That was 15 years ago and I’m still making huge mistakes, and most are related to color! Most of my knowledge pertaining hair have come from “how-to” tutorials and through trial and error. There are amazing videos that provide clear step by step demonstrations, the products used, and tips along the way. What’s hardly ever mentioned in any of the hair coloring tutorials is color theory, and what you must know personally about your own hair first. You guys explore this topic beautifully and in depth.. The info and content in this video is absolutely priceless and I wanted to thank you so much! I love your videos, Danielle Benita!!! I’ve watched and learned from you for a long time! You have by far the most knowledgeable, down to earth, quality color-based information, out there!
Just what I needed. Very informative! I use 8na full strength once, and I definitely got that ashy green look. It’s fun to experiment and share formulas. I love blue for canceling out orange brass. Thank you, ladies!
Thank you for sharing your ratios and formulas. I always ask people to share not bc I want to copy the exact formula, but bc I want a feel for “how much” of something you’re actually adding. It helps me get a feel for the potency of each tone!
I absolutely Hate watching any video over 6min long I and was pretty reluctant at first about watching this entire video but, you ladies nailed it! Your video is very informative to those like myself, who rather skip the salon and get the work done at home. Thank you for taking the time to explain the color correction process. 💇🏻♀️💇🏻♂️
Thank u !!!! I always seem to pull orange and copper and my hair lightens really well but anytime somebody slaps a toner on my hair or any permanent color near my roots that isn't lightener it always pulls orangey red so thank you. You have no idea how hard it's been to find products to get somebody to get me that lived in ombre beachy blonde look with a deep root... So far two stylists can't achieve it and I keep pulling orangey red.. wish you guys lived in Canada because my God ..
I noticed if I use a 9V or B without the clear, it is very intense and their blonde sucks up the color like crazy (including myself), so I'm definitely going to try adding clear from now on!!
Wow!! Thank you so much for this! I am a cosmetologist and the newer shades eq colors had me confused 🤷♀️. This cleared up so much confusion and questions i had!
You guys are awesome ! I'm really glad I came acrossed your channel ! I'm starting to learn about this color line and switch to just using this mostly and you guys really help educate and helped me understand what the letters actually mean !
Daniella Benita you guys blow others away. seriously. by any chance do you know any colorists in San Francisco or San Mateo California area that are like you? I keep getting same coloring issue anywhere I go. Years ago I had a great colorist and he knew how to deal with my color/issues but he retired . Since then its been take what I can get.
Thank you for this video 🙏🏽 I’m not a hair prof stylist, I’m just a bold busy working momma. I’ve tried looking for these Redken Shades EQ and no beauty supply sells it around me 😩 they say only stylist supply stores sells it but I can’t seem to find those places either. Any idea where I can find those 05N, O4N, 6GB, 9B & 9NB plus Clear and processing solution? I don’t have a license 😣 but I’m about to beg a supply store.
I’m so thankful for coming across this. Wow, you ladies are so Wonderful for doing this! I’d love to see a tutorial as you mix the color/ real results. With all the levels. Taking the time to explain is powerful and positive. Much love to you. I want you to be my teacher now at school. I want to be an expert at color like you two. Can the next tutorial be Showing how to mix, apply, time, with all the levels and end result with blow dried. I feel as if I’m just being taught only about bleaching, leaving client to wait in between and then coming in again for bleach and toners.
Thanks for the very informative video! Unfortunately, due to an intense tint, I have a bad red stab in my hair, which can be clearly seen especially in sunlight... Is it possible to neutralize a red tinge only with the EQ shades, without blonde strands in advance, to get a ashesy brown tone again? If so, which EQ Shades are suitable for this?
Wow, you have no idea how much your video helped me. I love Redken, but I thought it was a little complicated. This video is wonderful. Thank you very much.😘😘😘😘😍😍😍😍😍
Great video ladies, does SHEQ work well for coloring natural hair colors, for example, taking a level 6(warm brown) to a level 4 or 5 in a cooler shade? And would it last long? Thanks so much!
Fantastic video ! Ive been using shades eq and doing a lot of color correction! Just when you think “what else is there to learn.... I stumbled on your video ! Why use double developer?? I rarely use clear because I tone wet hair and for some reason I decided the color would last longer not using clear... can you do another video on 1 why you double the processing solution at high levels 2. How to keep violet and N at 8-9 not looking flat or overly cool 3. How you get those beautiful golden beige tones for those ladies that don’t want to be super blonde
I am so new at this toner coloring. I like very light blonde but don’t like dull. I tried the chrome but I don’t like that gray look. Way too much. Thank you for your videos!
@@DaniellaBenita I would love some help on getting rid of orange/gold tones. My hair is really stubborn when lightening it. I can never get it right and I get frustrated.
I have level 10 hair that always has yellow in it. I just purchased 9v, 9p, 9g, and crystal clear. Will these make my hair white blonde without any gray or silver? Or do I need the the 9t and/or 9n? Thank you
Thank so much! I have blond HL, and a nice brown base. So now I like to do my own touch-up. 1)Can I do a root touch with a 5N? 2) What should I use for toning, again I have blond highlights. I do have some brass but not alot... thank you in advance!!!
Lola Siebert hello! So I would only use it if you’re trying to dilute the color you want to use. For example: if I’m a 9 level blonde but want to keep the blonde as bright as possible while toning I would clear it out to make sure the color doesn’t deposit fully to the 9 level. So I would add 1 ounce clear 1 ounce 9T + 2 ounces of processing solution. That way the color is less strong and won’t deposit fully. Does that make sense? I’m making a video all about clear soon!
Uh oh! Im trying to go for a ashy blonde with really bright ends (somewhat platnium tips). I bought 7na/7n for my roots, but got 9na/9v for my ends. Will my ends look green? Should I add a few drops of 7n in the ends formula to cancel out the green or do you think I will be fine?
Thank you both for this video I appreciate this is the best video I have seen for color correcting!!! Love how you both simplified everthing ( I am no pro) lol Also I have some questions ....what level processing solution is best? 10, 20, 30 for toning orange and brassiness?
5 років тому+2
Thank you so much for this informative video, keep the hard work 💜
This video is amazing and just what I was looking for. Do you know if this can be applied to all colour lines? For example is the NA rule the same for Joico?
Love the video! You girls are the best!!!! Would be a natural blond tone using equal parts of 9Na ( mist) + 9p ( opal glow)? I don’t like it too grayish but champagne with gold tones ( mix) appreciate if you can help 🙏
Hi, Thanks for a great tutorial. I am going to be doing a balayage and have bought 9VG to tone. I've also bought the clear. Would you suggest going half 9VG and half clear or should I also be adding in a 9N or something else? I'm planning on lightening to around level 9. Thanks
What would you recommend for someone who has a level 9-10 on their top half, then naturally a level 8-9 from the ears down and wants to do a two tone cool silver. They want to enhance what they've got going on with their grey grow out....10 or 9t on the top, and 7 or 8 t for the bottom half? Or mix the two and apply throughout?
Hey guys this is by far the best video on shades eq! I died my hair to a Dark brown but it always lifts to a red and orange undertone. Can I mix a gn with an na?
Love this very helpful! I am trying to do a similar base color to Casey Holmes hair now. I’m not sure what her base color is it’s more of a ash brown so: 1. I was going to use 5n and 5na because of what you said about the 6n & 6na but I believe I am a level 5 right now. So I’m thinking the 6 would be too light correct? 2. For my highlights can I use the shades eq processing solution for the mix, instead of getting a 10 or 20 vol solution? Thank you! Love your videos. ❤️
Hey love! Yep you should use shades eq processing solution and I think the 6NA 6N will be perfect! Always start lighter because you can always deepen it
Hi hope you well! I was wondering if you could help please. I had my hair done yesterday however I don’t care for my root smudge which is super dark. She did use Redken Shades EQ I immediately washed my hair however it has a reddish dark brown tone now and the rest of my hair is buttery blond. What can I do to make the root color fade fast? I absolutely hate the reddish brown tone! Thanks
Please explain when your talking about these toners you are saying to put all over the hair! I’m new to this and have had a client exactly I like you explained she has highlights and lowlights and she wanted me to just put a few more highlights in. So I weave out some of the brown with the blonde but the brown didn’t lift as much as the blonde leaving them orange only around in some areas. Would i put the formula that you said can’t remember what it was all over the hair or just find the orange highlights and neutralise them! I gave her matrix brass off blue shampoo and conditioner to wash her hair in the next couple of days. So that will hopefully do it but I was t sure on the toner to use! I really hope you are able to reply to this could really go with the help! Thank you Louise xx
Hey louise! What I like to do is cover them completely with shades eq that matches their root color and then re highlight them and make sure each highlight is perfectly blonde. That way you aren't re lifting any of the brown and leaving their hair brassy. You might need to fill them first so the blonde doesn't look green and then go over it one more time with a 6N or a 5N depending on their root color. I also like to fill my clients with gold to help keep their base from looking red!
Daniella Benita thank you so much for the reply, I really appreciate it! In college my tutor would really go on about how bad bleach is for the hair - which I get - and but she kind of scared me with leaving it on for too long! I know exactly what I did wrong and that is I didn’t leave the bleach on long enough so the brown pieces didn’t lift enough. If I’d left it another five or ten minutes they would have been a nice pale blonde! I guess it’s a learning curve so early on in doing this but your videos are Godsend. I just can’t wait to be as confident as you are and know my colours better! Really love your videos they are so informative and really help me loads thank you for sharing! Do you have a favourite formula of the shades eq for a root smudge? Xx
Just found this valuable video, thanks! Not sure if you are still responding but I am curious if you are applying to dry hair for 20 minutes? I plan to try the 6GN for my brassy level 6/7 color. I’d rather be a little darker than have too much warmth.
Hi! Yep I apply onto dry hair if I want it to be more impactful. Be careful though because it can get spotty so make sure you have plenty of color to completely saturate your hair. Toning on your level is the best way to get rid of brass and what’s great about shades eq is it looks intense for 2-3 washes but then the color softens. So don’t panic when you shampoo the first time! It will gently release the color and look super natural by wash 3!
Very informative...thanks! what would you suggest here.... I was a level 9 ash but wanted to brighten up a bit....used an 8a demi and totally turned to that dull mulky green tone. I want to go back but 9 brighter but cool/warm tone.
Question - I've bleached my dark hair to about a level 6/7/8 (different sections). I want to be strawberry blonde but right now it's too brassy/yellow. I want to tone the brassiness down but I obviously want to remain warm. I don't want to turn a cool or ash blonde. How should I go about this? Please & thank you 🙏
Heyy I love your videos they're very informative and fun to watch!! 😊 I just wanted to ask on what I should do to achieve a grey ashy medium brown? I love the color smoke and want to do that color but idk if I should use it on its own or mix it with like a 6t or 8vb to make it more greyish? Lol 😅 idkk N rn I have like a month with this color I put of storm cloud mixed with espresso 😅 I like it but it wasn't the color I wanted 🤦♂️ n before that, I had level 4 virgin hair with like pieces of blonde that needed a root touch up badly lol. So if you have any advice it would be greatly appreciated!!😭😭😊😊🤦♂️💘💗💖✨️
This is very informative. I love your videos, really helpful. But i need reassurance before using it i have Question please: do i have to bleach my hair to use shades eq? Im a natural level 2 and i bought shades eg 8n and 9b will these be good to mix?
Just saw this video. I am brunette with quite a bit of gray. I had my hair highlighted a few years ago and loved it. Lots of depth. Unfortunately since then I've been over highlighted or when I try to start over I've been getting hot roots. These are all attempts at a salon. I always ask for ash dark blonde highlights, but I'm now sorta an odd shade of blonde/orange with not much depth. I'm going to see a stylist soon to get it glossed and go back towards brown. I'm thinking 6na redkin eq but after your video I should mention adding 6n. I'm a bit worried since I pull red so much. Once my gray starts to come in, what would your suggestion be for the root tap? Any advice would be great. I just want to know what I should be asking for so I don't end up with hot roots again. Eventually I'd like to get back to a natural medium brown. Thanks so much!!! ❤
Question: how can we purchase the swatches book you have. I can't seem to find it. And thank you so much. This video is so helpful! And I have watched countless on shades eq!
Wow!!! I've never seen a video explaining the eq shades. I'm so happy I found you. Question: my natural hair is brunnette but I have been dying it with 6Bv (brunnette violet and 4RV (dark brown red violet). I removed the color and my hair is now light red and gold. I would like to go silver with dark undertones. Any advise please. Thank you so much.
Hello quick question please when using crystal clear to your Redken shades do you have to use it with processing solution or you can use it by its self with out the processing solution thank you
hey daniella - love your tutorials. need your advice. I'm a 5 brunette with 20% ash gray growth. I want to "usher in the gray" but I want to add a couple of lowlights in a very ashy cool tone so that the salt-n-pepper doesn't look so "salty." I saw on the redken website "SLATE BROWN" that was a perfect color for me, but I don't see where a consumer can get that. now I'm thinking I should just tone with redken "iron" toner. curious to hear your opinion. THANKS
Help Help 🌟🙏🏼😮💨 I want to make a root melt and I bought Redken shades eq 5N walnut and blended it a bit to overlap the beginning of the bleached which I used 9N on. But it cant Blend at all, and it has a tint of muddy green, looks bad on the overlap/ smudge What should I do? Any advise 🙏🏼✨✨✨✨ thanks
I’m trying to get rid of my red orange hair color. My new growth is about 1-2 inches of level 3, and the length is red/orange level 6/7. I was thinking of using 5NA with 30 vol on the new growth and the use 5NA with 20 vol on the length. Please let me know your opinion.
OH MY GOD FINALLY SOMETHING SIMPLE BUT INFORMATIVE
so glad it helped!!!
AGREEEEED🥰🥰
Exactly!!!!!
Blonding and toning is intense. 9P, 9V, 9T, 9N, 9G, 9AA, 9NA, 9GN, 9B, needs a swatch on it's own to see the difference within the blonde tones.
Agreed !!!
BEST VIDEO! Thanks for going over everything thoroughly. SWATCHES would have been the icing on the cake -- or more photos of results from the toners you mentioned for each situation. THANK YOU!!

Hi hope you well! I was wondering if you could help please.
I had my hair done yesterday however I don’t care for my root smudge which is super dark. She did use Redken Shades EQ I immediately washed my hair however it has a reddish dark brown tone now and the rest of my hair is buttery blond. What can I do to make the root color fade fast? I absolutely hate the reddish brown tone! Thanks
Please explain when your talking about these toners you are saying to put all over the hair! I’m new to this and have had a client exactly I like you explained she has highlights and lowlights and she wanted me to just put a few more highlights in. So I weave out some of the brown with the blonde but the brown didn’t lift as much as the blonde leaving them orange only around in some areas. Would i put the formula that you said can’t remember what it was all over the hair or just find the orange highlights and neutralise them! I gave her matrix brass off blue shampoo and conditioner to wash her hair in the next couple of days. So that will hopefully do it but I was t sure on the toner to use! I really hope you are able to reply to this could really go with the help! Thank you Louise xx
Hey louise! What I like to do is cover them completely with shades eq that matches their root color and then re highlight them and make sure each highlight is perfectly blonde. That way you aren't re lifting any of the brown and leaving their hair brassy. You might need to fill them first so the blonde doesn't look green and then go over it one more time with a 6N or a 5N depending on their root color. I also like to fill my clients with gold to help keep their base from looking red!
Daniella Benita thank you so much for the reply, I really appreciate it!
In college my tutor would really go on about how bad bleach is for the hair - which I get - and but she kind of scared me with leaving it on for too long! I know exactly what I did wrong and that is I didn’t leave the bleach on long enough so the brown pieces didn’t lift enough. If I’d left it another five or ten minutes they would have been a nice pale blonde! I guess it’s a learning curve so early on in doing this but your videos are Godsend. I just can’t wait to be as confident as you are and know my colours better! Really love your videos they are so informative and really help me loads thank you for sharing! Do you have a favourite formula of the shades eq for a root smudge? Xx
Great Video! Thank you for covering all shades! So many videos only focus on blonde!
Just found this valuable video, thanks! Not sure if you are still responding but I am curious if you are applying to dry hair for 20 minutes? I plan to try the 6GN for my brassy level 6/7 color. I’d rather be a little darker than have too much warmth.
Hi! Yep I apply onto dry hair if I want it to be more impactful. Be careful though because it can get spotty so make sure you have plenty of color to completely saturate your hair. Toning on your level is the best way to get rid of brass and what’s great about shades eq is it looks intense for 2-3 washes but then the color softens. So don’t panic when you shampoo the first time! It will gently release the color and look super natural by wash 3!
Thank you so much!!
Very informative...thanks! what would you suggest here.... I was a level 9 ash but wanted to brighten up a bit....used an 8a demi and totally turned to that dull mulky green tone. I want to go back but 9 brighter but cool/warm tone.
Thanks for info. It’s very helpful. 🙏🙏🙏.
Question - I've bleached my dark hair to about a level 6/7/8 (different sections). I want to be strawberry blonde but right now it's too brassy/yellow. I want to tone the brassiness down but I obviously want to remain warm. I don't want to turn a cool or ash blonde. How should I go about this? Please & thank you 🙏
Heyy I love your videos they're very informative and fun to watch!! 😊 I just wanted to ask on what I should do to achieve a grey ashy medium brown? I love the color smoke and want to do that color but idk if I should use it on its own or mix it with like a 6t or 8vb to make it more greyish? Lol 😅 idkk
N rn I have like a month with this color I put of storm cloud mixed with espresso 😅 I like it but it wasn't the color I wanted 🤦♂️ n before that, I had level 4 virgin hair with like pieces of blonde that needed a root touch up badly lol. So if you have any advice it would be greatly appreciated!!😭😭😊😊🤦♂️💘💗💖✨️
This is very informative. I love your videos, really helpful. But i need reassurance before using it i have
Question please: do i have to bleach my hair to use shades eq? Im a natural level 2 and i bought shades eg 8n and 9b will these be good to mix?
I have copper/red hair that is a level 7-8, can I use these redone toners to neutralize my hair to go back closer to my natural? Daniella Benita
without using bleach I mean, I am licensed but has not used these and would love step by step to achieve this
Just saw this video. I am brunette with quite a bit of gray. I had my hair highlighted a few years ago and loved it. Lots of depth. Unfortunately since then I've been over highlighted or when I try to start over I've been getting hot roots. These are all attempts at a salon. I always ask for ash dark blonde highlights, but I'm now sorta an odd shade of blonde/orange with not much depth. I'm going to see a stylist soon to get it glossed and go back towards brown. I'm thinking 6na redkin eq but after your video I should mention adding 6n. I'm a bit worried since I pull red so much. Once my gray starts to come in, what would your suggestion be for the root tap? Any advice would be great. I just want to know what I should be asking for so I don't end up with hot roots again. Eventually I'd like to get back to a natural medium brown. Thanks so much!!! ❤
Question: how can we purchase the swatches book you have. I can't seem to find it. And thank you so much. This video is so helpful! And I have watched countless on shades eq!
I like it ,you guy teach very goods ,I lean a lot from you guy .thank you so much .👍♥️
Thanks!
soo informative thank you ladies!!
What do you think about a 9na + 9gb on level 9 hair with a little bit of brassy bits? Thank you for your video.
Wow!!! I've never seen a video explaining the eq shades. I'm so happy I found you.
Question: my natural hair is brunnette but I have been dying it with 6Bv (brunnette violet and 4RV (dark brown red violet). I removed the color and my hair is now light red and gold.
I would like to go silver with dark undertones. Any advise please. Thank you so much.
Hello quick question please when using crystal clear to your Redken shades do you have to use it with processing solution or you can use it by its self with out the processing solution thank you
Yep you have to use it with processing solution. I have a full tutorial using it but think of it as a color!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge you both sweet and helpful
Thank you!

hey daniella - love your tutorials. need your advice. I'm a 5 brunette with 20% ash gray growth. I want to "usher in the gray" but I want to add a couple of lowlights in a very ashy cool tone so that the salt-n-pepper doesn't look so "salty." I saw on the redken website "SLATE BROWN" that was a perfect color for me, but I don't see where a consumer can get that. now I'm thinking I should just tone with redken "iron" toner. curious to hear your opinion. THANKS
Help Help 🌟🙏🏼😮💨
I want to make a root melt and I bought Redken shades eq 5N walnut and blended it a bit to overlap the beginning of the bleached which I used 9N on. But it cant Blend at all, and it has a tint of muddy green, looks bad on the overlap/ smudge What should I do? Any advise 🙏🏼✨✨✨✨ thanks
Where can I purchase Redken colour swatch book, pleeeease? Awesome educational video. Keep it up! 💯
I’m trying to get rid of my red orange hair color. My new growth is about 1-2 inches of level 3, and the length is red/orange level 6/7. I was thinking of using 5NA with 30 vol on the new growth and the use 5NA with 20 vol on the length. Please let me know your opinion.
Shades eq doesn't lift hair why would you use 30vol?? Also you need the GN series of you really wanna cancel red! 😁
Great video! Thank you
You’re welcome! More shades eq videos coming soon!
Great info girls!! Thank you so much
This is so helpful and awesome!! Thank you!! :)
Hey, your video is so helpful! I wanted to ask you if the Redken shades eq need to be apply on dry or wet hair?
Thank you both so much for this much needed informative tutorial .SO well explained ..... saved for reference 😊
Hi Girls, I'm about to color a girls hair 3n espresso...she is a level 8/9 goldish tone...do I need to fill first?
Stacey Ali I definitely would! We like filling with a gold tone instead of red so I would mix a level 6 and then apply the 3 ❤️❤️❤️
Could you please recommend a formula to use on level 9/10 highlights to achieve a creamy blonde tone.Many thanks again for this wonderful tutorial 😊
