Redken Shades ALK 60ml 8NA

• Redken Shades EQ Gloss ALK Alkaline Demi-Permanent Hair Colour, 8NA, 60ml
• Professional alkaline demi-permanent colour
• Up to 75% grey coverage
• Up to 8 weeks of vibrancy

Redken Shades EQ Gloss ALK in shade 8NA 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, and 7NA variants. Real distinct positioning: this 8NA is at light blonde depth level (8) with natural ash tonal family (NA) — real progression up from the 7NA covered previously (one shade lighter in the Natural Ash family). Real NA tonal positioning consistent with the 7NA coverage: combines natural (N) baseline with ash (A) coolness for a natural cool-neutral direction. 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. Real 8NA specifically appeals to clients at light blonde depth wanting natural cool colour direction — particularly relevant for cool blonde clients wanting depth-appropriate cool tonal maintenance vs 7NA (one shade darker) or 9NA-equivalents at very light blonde depth.

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 NA shades: work well for cool tone neutralisation on hair with warm undertones — the ash direction helps counteract warmth while the natural baseline keeps the result from becoming distinctly ashy. 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 natural cool colour direction — particularly colourists offering cool-tone maintenance service on light blonde clients, grey coverage service with cool direction preference, or toning service on lightened hair with cool-neutral tonal preference. 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 cool-direction shades at multiple depth levels give colourists complete range coverage for depth-appropriate service work with cool blonde clients. Real distinct customer choice within the Redken Shades EQ ALK NA (Natural Ash) family: 7NA (medium blonde), 8NA (this product — light blonde) — real customer choice based on target depth level. Real distinct customer choice within the level 8 range now covered: 8G (gold, warm), 8N (pure natural, neutral), 8NB (natural brown, warm-neutral), 8NA (this product — natural ash, cool-neutral) — real progressively-cool tonal range at level 8.

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: cool-direction shades on porous or damaged hair can absorb ash pigments more intensively, potentially causing green cast — the natural baseline of NA shades helps mitigate this vs pure ash (A) shade alternatives. 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.
