Redken Shades EQ Gloss Processing Solution - 8 fl. oz / 237 ml
Redken Shades EQ Processing Solution Developer 8 fl. oz / 237ml
The official liquid developer designed exclusively for Redken Shades EQ Gloss. This approximately 7-volume hydrogen peroxide developer is formulated to preserve the acidic pH system that makes Shades EQ a gentle, conditioning gloss rather than a traditional haircolor service.
Unlike standard developers, this solution does not lift natural pigment, allowing Shades EQ to deliver true-to-tone results, shine, and long-lasting color balance without compromising hair integrity.
What It Does
• Activates Shades EQ Gloss for accurate tone deposit
• Maintains the acidic pH required for predictable results
• Stabilizes viscosity for smooth, even application
• Ensures correct depth, tone longevity, and color durability
• Allows color correction, toning, glossing, and refreshing services
• Does not lighten the natural base
Why This Developer Matters
Shades EQ is an acidic demi-permanent system. Using any other developer disrupts the pH balance and leads to:
• Unpredictable tone results
• Reduced shine
• Poor durability
• Uneven processing
This is why no substitute developer should ever be used.
Who It’s For
Professional stylists performing:
• Toning after lightening
• Glossing and refreshing faded color
• Color correction
• Low-commitment color services
• Gray blending (not full coverage)
