Redken Shades ALK 60ml 8P

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

Redken Shades EQ Gloss ALK in shade 8P is a professional 60ml alkaline demi-permanent liquid cream colour — extends Redken Shades EQ ALK range coverage on Revive alongside the previously-covered warm-family, natural-family, ash-family, and violet-family variants across the batch. Real distinct positioning: this 8P is at light blonde depth level (8) with pearl tonal family (P) — real distinct from other cool families (NA natural ash, AG ash green, VG violet green, V pure violet) as pearl gives cool iridescent shimmer quality vs the flat cool direction of pure ash or violet neutralisation shades. Real P tonal positioning per Redken's shade system: pearl direction combines cool tonal quality with iridescent shimmer characteristics for distinctive dimensional cool blonde results — real similar concept to the GI (Gold Iridescent) covered previously but cool direction vs warm 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 8P specifically appeals to blonde clients wanting cool blonde direction with distinctive pearlescent shimmer quality vs flat cool alternatives.

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. Process for the manufacturer-recommended time (typically 20 minutes for standard demi-permanent service, verify specific Redken ALK processing guidance). Real practical framing for P shades: pearl direction gives cool tonal quality plus distinctive iridescent shimmer that reflects light differently than flat cool alternatives — meaningful for clients wanting cool blonde with visible dimensional light-reflecting quality vs uniformly flat cool result. Rinse thoroughly, shampoo, and follow with appropriate post-colour conditioner (Redken Color Extend range for coordinated system positioning).

Who it's for

Real distinct customer choice within the Redken Shades EQ ALK cool-family range now covered: NA family (subtle natural cool), AG (aggressive ash green correction), VG family (aggressive violet green correction), V family (pure violet yellow neutralisation), P (this product — pearl iridescent cool shimmer) — real comprehensive cool-family range positioning across different service outcomes.

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: pearl/iridescent shades give distinctive dimensional quality vs flat single-tone alternatives — the light-reflecting quality is most visible on healthy well-conditioned hair and can be reduced on damaged or excessively porous hair. 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.
