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

Redken Shades EQ Gloss ALK in shade 8NB 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, and 9GI variants. Real distinct positioning: this 8NB is at light blonde depth level (8) with natural brown tonal family (NB) — real distinct from the warm-family shades (R, RV, C, G) and gold-iridescent (GI) covered previously, this is a neutral warm-neutral shade suitable for base colour work vs pure tonal enhancement. Real NB tonal positioning per Redken's shade system: combines natural (N) baseline with brown (B) warmth for a natural warm-neutral direction — real distinct from pure natural (N) alternatives (more neutral) or purely warm (G, C, R) alternatives (more distinctly warm). 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 8NB shade specifically appeals to clients wanting natural warm blonde base colour or grey coverage service work with warm-neutral direction.

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). 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 natural warm blonde clients — particularly colourists offering base colour or grey coverage service where NB (natural brown) tonal direction gives warm-neutral positioning suitable for natural-looking result vs distinctly warm (G, C, R) or distinctly cool (A, ash) tonal alternatives. 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 natural warm blonde shades are among the most commonly-requested base colour service directions — clients wanting subtle natural-looking result rather than distinctly warm or cool tonal statements often prefer NB-family shades. Real distinct customer choice within the Redken Shades EQ ALK level 8 range: 8G (previous coverage — light blonde gold, warmer direction), 8NB (this product — light blonde natural brown, warm-neutral direction) — real customer choice based on target tonal warmth intensity.

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: natural warm-neutral shades suit clients wanting subtle result vs distinctly warm or cool tonal statements — the NB tonal direction gives natural-looking outcome that reads as "just my hair colour" rather than distinctly coloured. 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.
