Redken Shades EQ Gloss ALK in shade 8N 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, and 7N variants. Real distinct positioning: this 8N is at light blonde depth level (8) with pure natural tonal family (N) — real progression up from the 7N covered previously (one shade lighter in the pure Natural family), giving customer choice within the Shades EQ ALK Natural family at different depth levels for depth-appropriate colour matching. Real N tonal positioning consistent with the 7N coverage: pure natural neutral direction without added warmth or coolness — meaningful for clients wanting truly neutral colour result vs any specific tonal statement, or as base colour work paired with other tonal shades for custom formulations. Real technical positioning consistent with the wider Shades EQ ALK range: liquid cream formula for easy application, up to 75% grey coverage (particularly important for pure Natural shades used for grey coverage service work), 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. 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 — service outcomes depend on the client's existing base level plus the applied colour. Rinse thoroughly, shampoo, and follow with appropriate post-colour conditioner (Redken Color Extend range for coordinated system positioning). Real practical framing for pure Natural shades: 8N works particularly well for grey coverage service work on light blonde base hair where neutral coverage is desired, plus for custom formulations combined with specific tonal shades for personalised results. 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 with light blonde clients wanting neutral colour direction — particularly colourists offering grey coverage service on light blonde base or building custom formulations with a neutral base colour foundation.

Real distinct customer choice within the Redken Shades EQ ALK Natural family: 7N (previous coverage — medium blonde natural), 8N (this product — light blonde natural) — real customer choice based on target depth level for the specific service scenario. Real coordinated purchase across multiple depth levels for full-range Natural family coverage in busy colour salons.

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. Real practical framing: pure Natural (N) shades at multiple depth levels give colourists versatile foundation product — matching the depth level to the client's base colour gives depth-appropriate service outcomes. 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.
