Would you recommend using 7T to get rid of brassy red tones on a brunette balayage . Just trying to get a nice cool light brown refreshing tone to get rid of warm tones
I have Redken 6nw on zone 1. Not sure what my highlights are but I think it’s a toffee. I want to brighten the highlights and not sure what SEQ color I should go with.
I love shades EQ!!! I have virgin hair with a lot of white grey and a lot of my natural hair color, my natural hair color is a dark ash blonde with some flecks of red. I don’t want to cover up my white grey that’s why I want to use shades EQ, so my question is what color would look best on me? I want a prettier color than my natural hair color. I have pink under tones and I’m fair skinned and pink. I have three colors in my eyes light brown In the middle then hazel green and a thick grey blue around the outside of my eyes. So should I get a warm color of shades EQ, or a cool color of shades EQ? I wanted to go one shade darker than my natural hair color and use my white grey for highlights.
Ok, so what about us brunettes with no highlights. Just straight up brunettes. I like to color my hair (got a few grays kicking) but it a.l.w.a.y.s. pulls red. I'm thinking about switching to Shades EQ and am cool with the idea of just a demi color on my grays. Is there a Shades EQ that won't pull red on my brunette roots?
HI!! GREAT question!!! The brilliance of SEQ is that it is a Demi permanent...meaning that the peroxide is less than 10 volume and not enough to alter the natural hair, therefore will not expose undertones (pull red). If using for gray coverage, apply, cover with a plastic cap and sit under a pre-heated dryer for 15 min and let cool for 20 min with the cap off. xo
So storm cloud or dark roast will be extremely cool. Also I did t need to let it sit the entire time and I did, it turned out very dark. It’s pretty though.
@@sheridoss1186 hi Thankyou for getting back to me! I tried 10v but it turned the top part of my hair white. My hair is super porous up there so it sucks up toner. I mixed 10v and 10n and it looks nice on the rest of my hair just the top was a bit too white for me.
HI! It depends on what you want to accomplish and of course what you are starting on. If you have lightened fairly light...i might start with more OOO Clear to keep sheerness of the result. if you have a specific example...feel free to write or DM me on instagram @sheridoss
Hi my daughter wants a nice darkish ash brown hair colour what would you suggest every light/medium brown she puts on goes very warm and she hates it plz help 😔🤣😭
I am going to apologize for the late response. I have had a heck of a year...if you still need color advice for your daughter, you can DM me on instagram @sheridoss and I will help you with a formula.
Do you think I can make a 09v with .5oz violet kicker and 4.5oz clear (since .5oz of clear lifts a level) + 5 oz processing solution. Hahah I'm scared and I don't want to go to the store. I don't want to get t19 either. Help me babe. Love you😂
WOW! I’m sorry!!!! In case you still need the info… while that formulation will Work short term, long term it will fad faster. If you can…get your hands on the real thing.
@@sheridoss1186 oh I definitely can! I'm not in the industry anymore (friends and family don't count, we all know the discount us stylists give them 😂🙈) ...but I do use my cosmetologist license in the same way I use my Costco card. Show me them discounts huntyyy😍😂 Thanks for responding ❤️❤️🥰 I'm red now but.. blondes do have more fun I will say haha.
Hello, after I bleached my hair, I put on a blond irisee ash color and my hair looks a bit greenish now. It's probably due to the ash. How do I neutralize the green, without becoming too warm (I know red neutralizes green), since I don't like warm tones, but I would really like to get rid of the green/grey tone I have right now. I also don't want to darken the hair. What would you suggest? Thank you.
Hi Nicole! Because of SEQ acidic formula combined with a low volume developer, you will not achieve any lift. For lift you may want to look to Color Gels Or another permanent color. If you have previously colored hair, you will need to use a decolorizer/ bleach
I used the EQ Gloss under heat for 15 minutes on my roots then added to the remaining hair for 15 minutes. The grey at my temples color but barely. If I wanted to color my level 1 with permanent color and level 2 and 3 with gloss, can I do this at the same time with each product possibly touching. Or do you suggest I do roots then the gloss later?
Im so sorry i missed this! I have had some real technical difficulties. But. YES!!! use 1NW color gels lacquers. There’s a separate video in my formula here that may help. Good luck and let me know how you are.
@@sheridoss1186 my phone just sent me this notification now lol. What I ended up doing was a couple bleach baths, I put the undertones I desired on then the brown I wanted. It worked out thankfully. It wasn’t coming off without stripping it unfortunately. Thank you for reaching out to me.
The processing solution is a clear 7 volume developer. If you have clear 10 volume you'd just add a little bit of water (ideally distilled) to it (3/4 developer 1/4 water).
I want to use Redken gels on zone 1 and Shades eq on zone 2. Is it best to to the gels and glaze in two separate steps or can they be processed together?
EXCELLENT question and so sorry for the late reply!! Apply Gels on zone 1 and SEQ on zones 2/3 when you ahve 20 min left on the timer. Hope this helps. xo
Hello. What happens to the zone 1 if you just put shades eq all over your head?? I had 'balayage ' done with all over colour so a I have a tied mark. Does it ruin your natural hair coming through?

@@wendy8561 I always go back to the color wheel. So if you're working with PALE YELLOW (lvl 10) ends, you are going to get green by using 10p (pearl) or 10t (titanium). The pearls have a blue/violet tone with a black to grey base, so they are heavier on blue than violet (black/grey already have blue in them). You can dilute that blue in the 10p by adding 10vv (violet/violet) to it. If your ends really are a lvl 10, keep an eye out for 10vv next time you're shopping at your salon supplier. If your ends are YELLOW (lvl 9) use 9n (natural). You can use 1oz 9n + 1oz clear to get it to lvl 10 as well. The natural range has a blue/violet tone with a brown to tan base, so you won't have as much blue as, say, the pearls, which have that black to grey base. It will be more natural blonde and still help a bit with the yellow undertone. If your ends are pale yellow/lvl 10 and you don't mind something more golden than the natural, I would also give the 10gi (gold/irridescent) a try, as it is a gold/violet tone with a brown to tan base. It is gold, but on the cooler end, instead of on the warmer end closer to copper. Just an FYI, if you end up getting 10vv in the future, that is a violet/violet tone with no base color. If you aren't toning your roots with that 7na, make sure you at least get some clear on there to blend up the color on your ends so everything's nice and shiny. If you are toning your roots, you can also use clear with that 7na to sheer it out through the middle as it gets closer to where you have the solution on your ends so you don't have a line. Remember, -Yellow/pale yellow (lvl 9/10) undertones get neutralized with violet tones -Yellow/orange (lvl 8) undertones get neutralized with blue/violet tones. -Orange (lvl 7) undertones get neutralized with blue tones. The 10t (titanium: silver/blue tones) and 10p (pearl: blue/violet tones) are great for when your undertone is already pulled away from pale yellow and is closer to white/grey (neutralized using 10vv, for example, or if it's lightened to a lvl 11). Apologies if that was confusing at all. If something needs clarification, just let me know!
@@victoriarobertson266 you are you so very kind to write all that out for me I did try 10gi and 10 p mixing the two it did a little but nothing much 20 minutes so I'm level 9 most definitely some 10 I just don't want thAt 9 to darken me alot can I mix it w 2 ounces of clear and one ounce of the 9n and processing solution I just want my blonde to still be really bright I can't get to salon centric by tomorrow before I need to go to my appt it's really important to me I'm just scared that the level 9 will turn dark I've not worked with shades EQ at all just now bought all that stuff I can't believe I did it will come to great use though mean time if I do tone all 9n I can go over my roots with full diluted 09n without any lift correct I'm trying I really really appreciate you help that color line is beautiful but a little confusing to me on the vivid colors that it brings on solid white hair hope you understand my words meaning the swatches on white hair and I'll get some 10 vv and more 9"s
@@wendy8561 if the 10 isn't depositing, here are your options with 9n (you can reduce it if you don't need that much dye, just keep the ratio the same): 2oz 9n to 2oz processing solution (true to level 9. You're putting pigment on top of your undertone which has no pigment and shows up as yellow, which will make it look darker to you, but it is a level 8.75 to 9) 1 ¾ oz 9n + ¼ oz clear to 2oz processing solution (level 9 with less color deposit, so what you're probably looking for. You can also try 1 ½ oz 9n + ½ oz clear if you feel that ratio will still be too dark on top of what you have, that would be about a level 9.5) 1oz 9n + 1oz clear to 2 oz processing solution (true to level 10) ¾ oz 9n + 1 ¼ oz clear to 2oz processing solution (level 10 with less color deposit. You can also try ½ oz 9n + 1 ½ oz clear if you feel that ratio will still be too dark on top of what you have, that would be about a level 10.5) Keep in mind, the color deposits on top of what's there. If you have freshly bleached hair, there is no pigment. Less color + more clear = less color deposit = less yellow correction. More color + less clear = more color deposit = more yellow correction. Process for 20 minutes on dry hair, at room temp (no heat or cap). The color will last for about 4 weeks of daily washes, but will fade gradually throughout those 4 weeks. The pigment from the dye will release from your hair as you continue to wash it.
When I mix shades eq colors with the processing solution, the mixture turns gel-like...is that normal? I thought it was supposed to be a watery texture?
@@michelleturner5407 I can’t find the expiration on my solution but it seems like some of the shades Eq colors might be expired? Maybe that’s what is changing consistency?
Hi... my sincere apologies for lack of response. please always feel free to DM me on instagram @sheridoss. I have had a heck of year. Anyway...to answer your question in case I am not too late....it is not recommended. the intention of SEQ is that it doesn't lift or leave a line of demarcation. you would end up with a bump in natural color here.

Hi how about 20 per cent grey roots coverage?
It's very hard to find the processing solution in London, any other developer u recommend? Thanks
Hi!!! We’re you able to find Processing solution locally?
You can get the processing solution from Sally Beauty in the UK
The processing solution is a clear 7 volume developer. If you have clear 10 volume you'd just add a little bit of water (ideally distilled) to it (3/4 developer 1/4 water).

Hi do you need to use the shade eq gloss or can you use any 2% peroxide
The processing solution is 2% peroxide. It doesn't have any filler ingredients like creme developer does
Hi! I was wondering if you could tell me the ratio for 9v 9p and crystal clear and developer? I like my hair icy blonde.
1oz clear + .5 oz 9v + .5oz 9p + 2 oz developer. Clear always lifts the level of shades. Leave it on for 10 mins and rinse.
