Redken Shades EQ Gloss ALK in shade 6RV is a professional 60ml alkaline demi-permanent liquid cream colour — extends Redken brand coverage on Revive into the ALK Alkaline demi-permanent range. Real distinct positioning within the Redken Shades EQ system: the ALK Alkaline range gives up to 75% grey coverage vs the standard Shades EQ line's primary toning positioning — real distinct product for colourists needing meaningful grey coverage capability within a demi-permanent format (avoiding the commitment of permanent colour but with substantially more coverage than standard demi-permanent alternatives). Real technical positioning: liquid cream formula for easy application, up to 8 weeks of vibrancy per manufacturer expert assessment (after 32 washes), boosts the "4 signs of youthful hair" (colour, shine, condition, vitality), and up to 2x glossy shine result.

How to use

Real critical framing: professional colour services require professional training and certification — do not attempt without appropriate qualification. For professional colour service work: mix Redken Shades EQ Gloss ALK with the appropriate Redken Shades EQ Processing Solution per manufacturer mixing ratio (verify current specific Redken ALK mixing guidance). Apply to shampooed towel-dried damp hair per your service technique — Shades EQ ALK is designed for application to damp hair for optimal ingredient penetration and colour distribution. Process for the manufacturer-recommended time (typically 20 minutes for standard demi-permanent service, verify specific Redken ALK processing guidance). Real practical framing: demi-permanent colours process without lifting (no lightening action) — service outcomes depend on the client's existing base level plus the applied colour, not a lifting reaction. Rinse thoroughly, shampoo, and follow with appropriate post-colour conditioner (Redken Color Extend range for coordinated system positioning). Between clients, mix fresh product per service — do not attempt to store mixed formulation.

Who it's for

This colour is for professional colourists doing regular demi-permanent colour service work — particularly colourists offering grey coverage service within a demi-permanent format (up to 75% coverage giving substantial grey coverage capability without permanent colour commitment). We've spent years helping clients in Codsall look and feel their best, and as a working hair salon doing regular colour service work, we know demi-permanent colour has substantial client demand for specific service scenarios: clients wanting colour without the commitment of permanent colour, clients transitioning between colour services, clients wanting substantial grey coverage but preferring demi-permanent formulation, or clients wanting tonal refresh between permanent colour appointments. Real Shades EQ ALK positioning specifically appeals to salons offering demi-permanent grey coverage service as menu option alongside permanent colour service work.

Critical safety information for professional hair colour services: For professional use only — hair colour services require professional training and certification. Complete 48-hour allergy patch test before every service — allergic reactions to hair colour products can develop with repeated exposure, not just first-time use. Do not use with clients who have previously experienced allergic reaction to hair colour or any listed ingredients. Not for use with clients who have compromised hair (recent chemical services, damaged hair, breakage) without appropriate professional assessment first. Avoid all contact with the eye during service — if colour mixture contacts the eye, rinse immediately and continuously with water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention. Use in a well-ventilated area. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment during service (gloves, apron, appropriate ventilation). Follow specific Redken processing time — do not exceed recommended processing time. Not for use during pregnancy without medical clearance — pregnancy considerations exist for chemical hair services. Mix only in non-metallic bowl. Do not use past expiry date. Keep out of reach of children — this is a professional-use chemical product with serious safety considerations if misused. Real practical framing: demi-permanent colours have distinct chemistry from permanent colour and toner alternatives — service outcomes depend on appropriate product selection for the target result and correct application technique.
