s there a better feeling than stepping out of the salon with freshly coloured tresses? While you may have walked in with lacklustre locks, there’s a spring in your step when you exit knowing your locks are luminous, healthy and radiate shine. The caveat? That glossy, bouncy head of hair may have required a few hours in the salon chair. But what if you could replicate that same silky finish in just 30 minutes?

Redken Shades EQ Gloss is the answer.

IWhat is a hair gloss?

While the time and applicatio­n of Shades EQ Gloss is simple, the formula itself is innovative. The demiperman­ent colour (lasting six to eight washes), which is applied by your stylist in the salon, works three-fold.

Firstly, it boosts your existing colour or natural shade. Whether you’re blonde, brunette, pastel or silver, there’s a Shades EQ Gloss to dial up your existing tone or even experiment with a chic variation on your current shade. On the flip side, if your colour looks dull between salon appointmen­ts (think brassy balayage, faded blonde or pastels that have lost their punch) a speedy Gloss service will even colour correct and have you looking salon-fresh again. Aside from all of this, the universal appeal of Shades EQ Gloss lies in its shine-enhancing expertise. The conditioni­ng benefits of ingredient­s like wheat amino acids mean every Shades EQ Gloss treatment delivers your shiniest hair yet.

Why should I try it?

Aside from the fact that it’s ammonia-free, Shades EQ Gloss is also gentler than permanent hair colour, meaning you’ll feel good about your next salon service. The added bonus? With a Gloss, you might even find yourself stretching out those lengthier colour appointmen­ts. The beauty of the ultra-shine finish and subtle shade boost is that it masks regrowth (grey or otherwise), meaning you’ll enjoy salon-fresh colour for longer.

What can I expect?

Did we mention a Shades EQ Gloss treatment is speedy? After an initial consultati­on with your colourist, Shades EQ Gloss is applied directly onto dry hair, taking just 20 minutes to develop. Postrinse and blow-dry, you’re sporting refreshed and revitalise­d locks. But it’s not just a neat refresher. If you’ve previously shied away from a complete colour-switch up, consult your stylist about experiment­ing with different hues. Think of Shades EQ Gloss as colour without the commitment.
