The most explanatory video on products ever! Thank you.
Thank you for watching!!! ❤️😘❤️
Wow ! this was amazing helpful! thank you so much, I just watched one of your other shades videos and went searching for more! so glad you posted these videos!
As a junior stylist this is one of my holy grail toners. I am so comfortable with it and it is pretty predictable. Thank you so much for the video it was soo informative & I learned stuff I didnt even know! Thank you so much!!!!
Kerry N you’re so welcome! I’m opening my own salon in 2 weeks so I’m sorry I haven’t been posting as much! As soon as I open I’ll be posting much more regularly! Let me know if there’s anything specific you would like to learn ❤️
Daniella, thank you for this video. So well explained. You helped me so much!
Thank you Danielle so much for your time and great info. I am qualified to a level 2 and just want learn about colour correction and toning so much so your videos just help immensely! Will be looking out for more. Hoping we will be able to get hold of the EQ range here in England.xx
You’re welcome!!! 🤍🤍🤍
Thank you so much for sharing your TRUE knowledge on Shades EQ. Just found you and subscribed, I am looking forward to watching all your videos! Blessings on your new business! You will be very successful!❤
This has been the simplest explanation as far as the breakdown and colors to use when using shades eq. Thanks so much!
Manna Styles thank you! ✨😘😘
I just find you and I subscribed I was looking for this color line education and you were well explained
Thank you so much for your time many blessings.
I'm new to Shades Eq! I have tried the walnut and I absolutely love it. I feel like it can go a long way with skin tones and hues. I love your videos! Thank you for sharing! 💓 I would love to see the list of your formulas!
Maggie Gonzalez thank you! It's such an amazing line! Let me know if you have any questions 💖
How long have you been a licensed stylist?
Thank you for this video. I have been bleaching and coloring my hair myself for about a year now and your video was super easy to follow and helped me decide on the Redkin EQ shades/toners. I have found my new happy place :) Once you get over your fears of bleach and color, it's not so hard. The Redkin products, by far, are the best on the market. I finally got rid of the red/yellow because of this video. Thank you for helping those of us that simply can't afford the salon anymore. Of course, it would be my preferred choice but current circumstances are what they are. Much appreciated.
Deanna Gilmore you're so welcome! Let me know if you ever need any help!
Daniella Benita, thank you 😘😘😘
Not sure if my other question went through
In regards to purchasing the larger bottles of Olaplex or if the Redken PH was just as good
Deanna where do you purchase your product? I am always concerned about buying fake product. I am in the same situation and really love doing my own hair as well.
Best video thus far with this line!!!
Iris T thank you!!!
You explained so well, you're a great teacher. I believe most hair dressers don't want to share details of how they do it but they fail to understand that sharing knowledge doesn't mean losing business. Love your honesty ❤
How long have you been a licensed stylist?
Love the video, thank you! I'm trying to formulate a level 5-6 Auburn shade, red/brown, do you have a fave formula for that in your bag of tricks? 😊
I love your videos!! I mistakenly used toner (wella with 20v) all over my hair and it brightened my highlights perfectly BUT it pulled my natural 6/7 root almost orange 😢. I was thinking of using shades eq to do a root shadow or balayage to get my roots back to their natural state.
Seeing none of your highlights visible above though makes me nervous though (you look amazing I’m just looking for more of a balayage). Also you saying blonde can turn green terrifies me too lol
I got my hands on 6N, 9N, 9T, clear, and processing solution. Would it work to paint the 6N/ clear in my roots, and then paint 9N/9T in the middle, and 9T/ clear to the ends and front pieces. Would this blend?
Just subscribed. I am not a stylist. Came across your video because I was looking for tutorials about toners using Shades EQ. Your video is the MOST informative and so easy to understand ( for us non-stylists). Would love to see tutorials on toners with Shades EQ. I am a level 4 with highlights all over ,which get brassy real quick . I would love to see a tutorial to tone brassy hair and get the warmth out.
Thank you for subbing! If you message me on IG send me a pic of your hair and I can help you formulate something to take out the brass!
Danielle, I just subscribed and GIRL YOU ARE AMAZING! Like Parul Sheth-Rana, my hair pulls red (I'm a natural level 4) and of course, I love ashy violet colors. I think the formula you shared would work for me, but would love alternative color suggestions.
For non-stylist?! Oh my!!!!
I am a blond needing NN for grey roots but this has been very informative. I am not a beautician but a self learner for my hair. Thank you for explaining in simple form how to... will try.
I just sain another video that NP or NB was for gray roots😅Great and now I don't know which one😅😂
Hi I am so glad that I found your channel. I have never had anyone to explain color and it is amazing!! I wish you were my hair dresser!! Keep the videos coming!!
Thank you so much!
This actually made complete sense! Explanations always sound like a foreign language ... THANK YOU!
Love this girl!! So much information that I can actually understand lol
So refreshing to see a video which was to the point & informative. I did enjoy your video, you gave good step by step instructions.You were professional & not silly as some videos can be.👍
Thank you so much!
Thank you for your explanation! I am a stylist and I am trying to do my sister in laws hair. This is the first time I am using the EQ products. I want to get her hair blonde without bleaching the roots. She has 4 inches of regrowth with bright blonde highlights. What do you think will work out well to brighten her up?
Thank you!!! I loved your video! Straight to the point, sharing your valuable experience! ❤
OM Gaaaaawwwh?!?!U explained this all so well!!Thank u for taking the time & giving the best instructions that I have personally heard(& I’ve seen/heard A LOT...) thus far!!Very down 2earth like u were just having a normal conversation with u’r friends.Very relatable & so easy 2 follow.Not 2 mention that u just gained another subscriber as of today so keep up the good work girlfriend!!!;-)✌🏼💇🏼♀️🤩
Thank You for your help! More formulas please! I am new to shades EQ but it is something I NEED to use..
Theresa schweitzer it's the best! I'll make more videos soon!
Hi Daniella, I love your tutorials and explanations! I am not a hair stylist. I just love hair! thanks,
Fabiana Di Camillo awe thanks love!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 🙏🏾, for sharing your knowledge. You been so helpful.
I would love the list on best toners for different hair color. thank you in advance!😘
Did she ever send you the list ?
Hi Daniella. Love your videos! Thank you for making them so easy to understand. ! I just wanted to know if when mixing two different colors does that mean we also double the amount of the processing solution? I'm gonna try the 9V, 9NB ( 1 oz each) so how much processing solution do i use? 1oz? or 2 oz? Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks!
This is such an informative video. Thank you for sharing 💖
So amazing how you so clear about everything. Thank you so much
I bought 09NB, so glad you recommended it. I also got 09N, cafe o-lait, I want to lighten my roots to a Childs shade of dirty blonde and then do platinum highlights. if I tone the highlights, I should get a bottle and apply to towel dried wet after solution is rinsed out? and what shade and solution do you recommend, I want more shine
What ratio to do you use when mixing a violet with a warm tone, basically when you are mixing more than one redkin to cancel out yellow but add a warm at the same time? Thanks in advance 😊
Love this!! I feel like a learned so much 🤗🙏
Hey! I love the video and your explanation is so easy and understandable. I was just wondering since I’m about to tone my hair and I’m mixing some colors I was about to mix the crystal clear in it so it can give shine and make the color look just better. I didn’t know that it actually lightens up the color which I don’t really want. Do you think I can still add it and will not make it that much lighter or I can use it as a stand alone treatment with the processing solution after I do the toning?
Thank you. I really like the video! The part of wassing the toner out without bleeding is not very clear to me. you wash out the lighter ends, and put a conditioner on it, and the you wash out the rest??
thank you ☺
I really loved this! I'm not a stylist, I am a nail tech but worked in a small full service salon for years and have a huge interest in hair so I always paid attention. I call myself a kitchen-tician :) Anyway, i love doing colour, but am always scared of toner because of a huge accident back when I was just learning about self colouring etc. I looked like queen Elizabeth and I was 27! LOL
Anyhow, you did a great job explaining without being too technical that those who don't know anything about colour wouldn't understand, but also without being too layman... or talking down. Loved this and I am totally a new subbie now.
You mentioned talking about other toners you use for reds and such... yes please!!! I will be waiting very excitedly! You were awesome girl!
Amanda!
+PlumpPenguinPaints thank you so much!!!! I'm so happy I can help. Color was really confusing to me too but once you break it down it's not confusing at all! I'll keep posting tutorials like this and I want to explain a lot more for you all. Also don't be afraid of toners. They are your best friends! But I totally understand how you feel after you turned into Queen Elizabeth lol but please DM me on Instagram if you have any questions! @ DaniellaBenita Thank you again ❤️❤️❤️
Wow... thank you! You are the sweetest! XO
Hello!!! My hair level is around 3 as you can see in the pic but I started the process to go blonde. I had already 3 bleach sections in 2 months because I don’t want to damage my hair that much ( I have fine hair)I have the level that I want on my middle length and ends which is around #9 but the top ( no roots) still warm/orange stage I don’t want to bleach more but I don’t like that color either, my hair dresser used level #7a and # 8a to toned but still too warm/orangy she did a balayage and foils but I’m thinking in no comeback and try to do it myself because I haven’t had luck in find a good hair dresser. That’s been said How can I lift my root to a level #6? And the section that still warm/orange can I use a lift color? Or what I can do? And the parts where is blonde already which toners can I use? I’m looking for something no too gray or to gold.
Sorry I know was a long message but I’m hoping you can help me.
Love this video..Yes more greAt formulas
Cynthia Lopresti thank you!!!
You are genius instructor!!! God bless you!!!
Great Video, I've started coloring my own hair, I needed a Shades EQ video like this one.. Thank you!!
Awesome! Let me know if you have any questions. Feel free to write me on Instagram @DaniellaBenita
Daniella Benita u r such a nice person ! A lot of hairdresser don't give their secrets for people who can't offer to get their hair done professionally
Rfai Poota thank you! We all need help sometimes and I’m glad I can do that! ♥️
How do you use the Shades EQ Gloss to gel? I can’t find any information about it. The clerk told me you use it in place of the Shades EQ gloss for a thicker consistency.
yes, thanks daniella, your videos are very informative. how long should you wait from the time you color your hair (permanent) dark brown to apply highlights or balayage? and what should i use? thank you. i would like caramel balayage.
I would wait at least 3 months so most of the color gets rinsed out. It depends on hair dark your hair is but I would suggest doing highlights if you want your hair to lift enough. I love redken flash lift for lightener and I would definitely use some type of bond builder so your hair doesn't become damaged while it's lifting. I really like redken Ph bonder or if you want to spend a little more money olaplex is the best and they sell a travel pack that isn't too expensive! If you want to send me pictures of your hair color currently and also the look you are trying to get too ill help you formulate! Direct message me on my instagram! @DaniellaBenita
Before applying the color, do you have to bleach the hair, or do you apply the color directly with the processing solution( i have grey hair and want to do that colour at home,Thanks a lot, from Spain)
Hi Daniella,
I need your advice again.
where is the difference in the mix of clear and processing polution?
My hair is much brighter now with many highlights and I want to have a nice gold tone. should I take 09g or rather 07g? the shade shouldn’t be too red but also not too cold blonde.
thanks in advance for your answer😊
Hi! Can you use EQ to cover grey roots? My hair is medium to dark brown at the roots and caramel baylage. The last time I touched up my roots I used clairol hair dye but it came out too dark. So now I need to cover the new grey growth and correct the darkness. What should I use?
This video got straight to the point. Where were you when I needed you?? LOL!!!
Also I'd like to come down further with the smudge and have more of a balayage instead of just a root smudge. Will the 6n turn my blonde green?
You really should be a teacher for color! I am a teacher, and you explain it very well! Can you do more videos of showing color correction with different toners? before and after? Thank you!
Nicole DellaTerza thank you! I just like making it easy lol and yes I’ll definitely make more
Color correction videos!
yes, more videos!
Thanks Benita that was very excellent & so useful explanation I will start to use these shades👍🙏
You're welcome!
So so helpful! Love your videos :)
Annie Ephlin thank you! 😘
Hi from South Wales in Great Britain,thankyou so much have learned so much about these toners xx
You are the best! Thank you so much for your tutorial ❤❤
I am looking for advise on choosing Redkin Shades EQ colors.
I use redkin cover fusion and mix 75% 6NN to 25% 7NN.
What would be the similar shades EQ colors to use?
Thank you, your videos are so very helpful and easy to follow.
Just had a gloss treatment on my salon and want to replicate at home. I am about a 6, golden.. Would you recommend the 1/2 oz 5n + 1/2 oz clear + 1 oz processing solution OR would you just recommend using a 1 oz of 6 and 1 oz of solution ? I guess I am asking which do you think is darker, the 1/2 dilution of 5 vs the 1 full oz of a true 6 ? I am worried about depositing too dark a color ... Thanks, and great video!
Daniella Thank you for your advices. . I have highlights now awful yellow color (l) and I have roots like #3 . What happen if I correct the color with O 8 N . how my roots will be and my highlights will be ? thank you
If I wanted to combine 9T, 9B, 9P, 9V... would you still recommend adding any clear ? If so, how much quantity?
Great explanation! Easy to follow ! Thanks!
Will it cover 100% gray/white root regrowth? If not, can I add a 10 or 20 volume developer? This is for light auburn/copper hair and thinking of using half cayenne, half curry but not sure whether to use a permanent on the roots first. Thank you
When adding the clear for the toner, do you do a 1:1 equal ratio as well as processing solution? So say: 1 oz 9v, 1 oz processing solution, and 1 oz clear? Or would that dilute it too much? Love your videos 😊
So it looks like she never responded to that question.
Your a life saver very informative . Thank you
This is a great tutorial. I followed your directions and it worked. This is my first time coloring my hair on my own. I do have a few questions though. My natural base is a level 8.5 but I regularly get a full set of foiled highlights so it ends up being around 9. I used 1 ounce 9NB and 1 ounce 9V +2 ounces of the processing solution. I did the roots first then let that sit for about five minutes and then ran it through the rest of my hair for 11 more minutes. Then I rinsed it out because it was starting to look dark in the mirror so I panicked. It actually came out a pretty color, very natural looking. But a bit darker and more "ashy" than I hoped. Also I have some gray around my temples and at the roots and it seems to resist the color. Do you have any tips for how I can better adjust the formula and my method to improve next time? Thanks so much.
Hello! I'm actually starting a one on one color consulting service. Direct message me on Instagram and I can give you more information! @DaniellaBenita
USA 1 that’s my exact formulation & colour as well . Did u change anything ??? I purchased eq 9NB & eq9V but u haven’t tried it yet
This video popped up when I was searching, so a little late lol. Your videos are so helpful! What formula would you use if there is still too much orange after lifting from Level 3 to 8/9 (using Schwarzkopf Blond me). Or would you suggest another round of bleaching first before toning?
Thank you! You make it so easy to understand 🌸
Patty Zozaya yay! So happy this helped ❤️
Hi!! BEST video out there! Thank you!! Question - I have blonde highlights in my brunette (level 5) hair, maybe about a level 8 in the front and a level 7 in the back. Theyre turning orange and yellow and I want them a bit more blended. Would 7p and 8gb work well together? Thank you!
Hi Daniella, I love your videos. In this time of Coronavirus, we are doing our own hair at home. With my daughters hair, she wants blond highlights but no gold and not silver. I saw where you recommended the Redken 09V and 09NB. Do I use just the 00 cream or a processor too? Also do you think it would be a good color as she is a dirty blond or dark blond naturally. Also, having a hard time finding the 09NB but found 08NB and remember you said if I add more 00 it will lighten a shade? Do I use developer and 00 with the other 2?
Are you able to do base placement sheets for your balayage,babylights etc? Great vid btw
Your videos are so informative! Thank you for that!
When you tone, do you usually do it on wet or dry hair?
Carroll K you're so welcome!!! And it depends if I want the color to really set in rough dry someone but be very precise about the placement of the color because once the color touches dry hair it sticks! If I put toner on wet hair I'm going to get a much more minimal result. So I'll mostly towel dry all of the water from their hair then I'll take the toner and put it all over. I like to brush it through too just to make sure you get it completely saturated! ❤️
Thank you Daniella for so much info. I am wandering if I can mix the 010 N with 9V and do a full head toner or I have to do the N on top and the 9V on the bottom like you are showing in this video?
i balayaged my jet black hair, it turned out a pale yellow. What mixture would you recommend to get a nice ashy brown/blonde color? thank you!
Amazing tutorial thank you would love to see your other toners
ava harris Coming out this Saturday! 🎉🎉🎉
Enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for the insight. :-)
If I want to take my medium brown hair ( natural) and lighten it, will the EQ still work? Ive been told that I cannot do this without harsh chemicals.
Kim Mosley you will have to lighten your hair first. EQ does not lift hair, only deposits color/tone!
Thanks for the explanation😘 I have black-blue redken 01b onyx, which processing solution should I use? Redken shades eq gloss solution is okay to mix with? My purpose is very black hair. Thanks in advance :)
Such a lovely girl and very knowledgeable. Thank you!
Should I use the number 2 ph binder before or after I tone? Say I bleach my mid shaft and ends and then bump my roots? Should I apply the blonder next and then tone or vice versa? I just recently discovered you on utube and you are my new Favorite! You explain and simplify things so well, thank you for all of the wisdom you continue to gift us with! Also, I recently purchased the redken binder so should I bump the developer when bleaching like you do with olaplex?
Hi I've used shades eq for 1st time today . Were in the uk . I did a root smudge of 7n and 7p. Then toned ends with 10ml 9v ,10ml 9p and 10ml of clear and 30ml of processing solution But the consistency was different in the ends colour then in the root smudge. It felt more like a gel rather than liquid . Is that normal .the results was fab . But the consistency was really odd compared to the root stretch .Thanks
love all your videos!!!!!
Ok so, if I use 6CR and the processing solution on my bleached hair. It’ll turn red right? Then I can dye it dark brown without it turning green?
Can this be used to lighten hair color? I know it doesn’t lift your hair but can you get similar results aka make your hair look a lighter color? This is my first time doing a Demi- permanent and I just want to make sure I do it right.
Thanks for this video. I've been looking for something like this! I appreciate it!!!!
You're welcome!
Hi Daniella, where do you purchase the clear measuring cup? Thank you!. where can i purchase as well the Redken shades eq during this time?
What can you mix with it if you don't want to use a toner, and use it just as a semi-permanent color? My hair is already lifted.... I like to use semi's to freshen up the color.
Hi daniella , I bleached my hair to get it super light so I can put in a new color . I ordered storm cloud 04NA is that color a grey ?? I'm not sure . If you could tell me ??
Love your hair color combo! Gorgeous!
Awe! thank you!!
@@DaniellaBenita would love to see a video of you bleaching and toning your own hair❤️❤️❤️
I currently use Redken Gel Lacquer 6NW and bottom hair is highlighted caramel and thinking of doing the gloss. Should I go with 6N or clear?
Can you mix redken shades eq "cream" w the shades eq gloss processing solution as well? Or do I need a vol 10 developer?
Hei, Daniella, I just loved your video. I'm not a hair stylist but I like to experiment a lot:). I have a question: the colour that you tone your roots with, is it amonia free and if yes...and because of this...does it wash out easily in time? I mean if you want to lift your hair again, up higher..to the top of the head, will it work? To lift that brown root? And what colour processor do you use ? Zero lift on both roots and highlights? Thank you so much!
I had a bayalge done on my hair where I had vibrant red added to my asian dark brown hair. Alot of the tutorials here speak to blond hair and fight brassyness there but nothing on the dark brown hair and vibrant red. I would like to gloss to tone it down. Can you do a tutorial on that?
SOOOO amazingly helpful!! Thank you so so soooo much!
You're welcome girly! :-*
So the redden light colors doesn’t lift. Is that right
Sorry Redken light colors doesn’t lift right. So you can’t use them for highlighting.
Yes, please make a list of your fav formulas for BLONDES. PRETTY PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you give me advice on what shade to use if my hairdresser is using Chromatics Ultra Rich on roots (5NN 1 oz. and it with 5NA .5 oz? I know that she's mixed the clear with something on the ends but doesn't do this every time I go in for a color so I wanted to do this at home. I like how it looks and hate having to wait cycles for it. Thanks
👋 hi. I use to work in a salon as a teenager as a shampoo tech for a big salon. I got to apply Redken Shades Eq to clients & feel very comfortable with the product. I let my hair go brown although I am a born snow white blonde. My natural hair has turned such a salt and pepper color thats so drab. I kept it highlighted until it was almost all over for a while. I'm tired of the salon visits and ordered redken color eq creme and 10 volume pro-oxide 06na cocoa brown. I loved the mushroom tones in it but it was slightly roo dark and it faded soooo fast. I want to keep the color and only touch up some on roots occasionally. How can I get the mushroom brown color, it last, and not buy 10 different colors
Currently in cosmo school, this video is VERY helpful! Thank you sm! ❤
Thanks (from Italy) for this video... I've a question for you: how can I tone brassy hair (I can't bleaching them anymore...) with some orange and yellow colors, level 7/8...? Thanks
🙏🙏🙏
I know this is an older video, but how do you feel about shades EQ for gray coverage?
Hi Daniela, love your video with very informative details about using redken. I am freshly cosmetology graduate and would like to get an intro for redken gloss. They said I have 40 eq gloss to choose would u help me to get an idea of lists at least 20 of good gloss to have . Tia!!
What toner color will give that medium/dark cold blonde effect like Gigi Hadid used to wear? Many many years ago I had some non permanent color from Clairoll all over my blond head. After 20 min it turned out so pretty! Exactly that cold darker blond which made my green/gray eyes popping . Very natural. I look now for a toner which I can use at home. I cant find a Redken Salon in Valencia. Maybe it exists bt I dont know one. I also like to have solutions which I can use at home.
WOW! Lots of great information. Thanks for sharing!
I am confused by using a clear with the 9V to make it lighter to a 10 or a 11. It seems to me that it would dilute the mixture. Please help me understand. By diluting violet it makes it lighter? Thx
