• Redken Shades EQ Gloss ALK Alkaline Demi-Permanent Hair Colour, 6VG, 60ml
• Professional alkaline demi-permanent colour

Redken Shades EQ Gloss ALK in shade 6VG is a professional 60ml alkaline demi-permanent liquid cream colour — extends Redken Shades EQ ALK range coverage on Revive alongside the previously-covered 6RV, 6R, 7C, 8G, 9GI, 8NB, 7N, 8N, 9N, 7NA, 8NA, 9NA, 7NCh, and 9AG variants. Real distinct positioning: this 6VG is at light brown depth level (6) with violet green tonal family (VG) — real distinct cool combined tonal direction vs the 9AG (ash green) covered previously. Real VG tonal positioning per Redken's shade system: combines violet (V) with green (G) for aggressive cool neutralisation — real distinct from AG (ash green) which uses ash as the primary cool base with green addition. Real practical framing on cool combined shades: VG uses violet as the primary cool component (real specifically effective for neutralising yellow tones) with green as secondary component (adds red/orange neutralisation), giving broader-spectrum warm neutralisation vs single-family cool shades. Real technical positioning consistent with the wider Shades EQ ALK range: liquid cream formula for easy application, up to 75% grey coverage, up to 8 weeks of vibrancy per manufacturer expert assessment (after 32 washes), boosts the "4 signs of youthful hair" (colour, shine, condition, vitality), up to 2x glossy shine result, visibly healthier hair after one service.

How to use

Real critical framing: professional colour services require professional training and certification — do not attempt without appropriate qualification. Real critical practical framing for VG shades specifically: violet green shades give aggressive cool toning action combining two neutralising pigments (violet for yellow, green for red/orange) — use with careful monitoring to avoid over-toning that can cause visible ashy cast on hair, particularly on porous or damaged hair which absorbs cool pigments more intensively. 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. Process for the manufacturer-recommended time (typically 20 minutes for standard demi-permanent service, verify specific Redken ALK processing guidance) — real practical framing that combined-cool shades may benefit from shorter processing times if the target is subtle warmth neutralisation vs full aggressive cool toning. Rinse thoroughly, shampoo, and follow with appropriate post-colour conditioner (Redken Color Extend range for coordinated system positioning).

Who it's for

This colour is for professional colourists doing regular corrective toning service work on brunette or light brown clients — particularly colourists offering brunette correction service where clients have developed both yellow AND red/orange warm undertones needing dual-spectrum cool neutralisation. 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 corrective toning at brunette depth levels requires different tonal approach than blonde correction — brunette hair with warm undertone development often shows multiple warm colours (both yellow and red/orange) needing combined cool neutralisation vs single-spectrum ash toning. Real distinct customer choice within the Redken Shades EQ ALK cool combined range: 9AG (very light blonde ash green, blonde correction focus), 6VG (this product — light brown violet green, brunette correction focus) — real customer choice based on depth level and target warm undertone spectrum being neutralised.

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 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. Critical practical framing for VG (violet green) shades: aggressive dual-spectrum cool toning action requires careful monitoring during application — over-toning with combined cool shades can cause visible ashy cast on hair, particularly on porous or damaged hair which absorbs cool pigments more intensively. Consider shorter processing times for subtle correction vs full toning. Real practical framing: corrective toning service depends on accurate colour theory understanding — the complementary colour relationships (violet neutralises yellow, green neutralises red/orange, blue neutralises orange) determine appropriate toning shade selection for specific warm undertone correction. 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.
