My FAVORITE Redken Shades EQ Toners // Hair Color Tutorial // Daniella Benita

hey everyone so today I am so excited to do another shades eq tutorial my last video got so many comments and likes and you guys were just so interested in learning this product so i'm really happy about that and i can't wait to teach you more about Shades EQ. I've got the full lineup behind me i literally brought out every shades eq bottle I have right now so I'm gonna explain a lot more about this product and what the letter means what the number means so you guys can fully understand this product if you're doing it at home or if you're a hairdresser in the salon doing it yourself okay so first what I'm gonna do is explain what these numbers and letters mean on the bottle so that you guys can understand this better so this is 06WG one of my favorite shades by Redken Shades EQ. So this six means a six level so I have a five on my root right now so imagine something one level lighter so this would be a shade lighter and then the W stands for warm and then the G stands for gold so I have a picture here of what it looks like let me pull that up for you guys so there's the shade there you can see it's like definitely like warm gold and if somebody had blonde hair it'd be a little lighter like this I personally if I put this on this color you wouldn't see it because it's a six so it's too light so it would probably grab on to these lighter pieces and make it a warmer gold so I hope that makes sense that's what we're working with here with these numbers and letters and then I also want to explain the processing solution and the clear one more time because I did explain that in the last video but I just want to make sure for somebody who did watch that other video they can understand what we're mixing this stuff with and why so here are processing solution and clear so what processing solution does is this activates the color so pretty much when you mix this with this that makes the color work and what you want to do is equal parts so it's the same measurement for each so if you take one ounce of this you're gonna want to mix one ounce of this so what clear is right here this is pretty much letting you play around with all these colors and customize them to something lighter so if this I want this to be like a level seven eight I'll add clear to this so if I want six to be a seven I'm gonna add half an ounce of clear to dilute this so it doesn't deposit more to that level sick so that's what's really fun about shades EQ you can really customize things so I run out of a color that's lighter than the ones I have I can play with those and make them different levels really really easily I'm gonna show you pretty much all these different tones and pick out my favorite ones and explain which ones are my favorite for each used I'm also gonna list my favorite formulas below I don't want this video to be like 30 minutes of me just going color by color but I'm gonna pick out my favorites and tell you why so we're gonna start with the darkest colors so this is 1b this is like as dark as you can possibly get this is for my girls who want that black like put like a little hint of blue accent so again that's a level 1 and then B is for blue so you're really gonna have that really like jet black cool hair with this color so when you are using this just be careful it stains so fast so just make sure you're nice and clean you have gloves and have color protector if your client comes in so it doesn't seep into their skin but again this is 1b this is super super dark for somebody with like wants black black hair and it's also super super shiny you guys are gonna love it okay so 3n this is my favorite for anybody who wants to be just like that natural brunette it's very cool toned which I love because a lot of my brunettes come in and they're like I don't want to be red I don't want any warmth like this is what I go for so three level is like three levels darker than this and then N equals neutral so it's gonna be that neutral shade pretty much looks good on everybody especially somebody who doesn't want warm tones this is what I would go for for a brunette okay so 5n this is literally my pretty much my favorite tone for somebody who wants to do a root blend root smudge it always looks good on pretty much everybody it's a cool level 5 so I'd say most people are my type of level it's basically level 5 and it's kind of like I don't know if you can tell cuz I've colored it but growing in it's like this really cool brunette it doesn't really have a color it just kind of looks like muted so that's what this is it's just a very muted brunette color level 5 I'll use this on people who want root smudges and I'll also use this with a low light all the time that's like my favorite way to use it but it's just very very pretty and looks really good on pretty much everyone's skin tone okay so this is O6GB I love this tone it is like this really kind of warm toffee color for people with one level lighter than me so level six and it is just so pretty and I love using it as just a really nice refresh and glaze this is what I would use on my clients for that okay so for all my copper girls out there this is what the C means so for copper so this is 07C it's like a light copper color super super pretty if anybody wants copper hair like that kind of orange tone redhead type of hair that's what I would go for it's like the C's or they have the CC's or the AA's so I'll explain the AA's in a second but this is a really pretty like medium redhead color really really like this for my redheads okay also one of my favorites 07NB is one of those colors that looks good on everybody it's this really kind of chestnut blonde like it's almost brown but it's not there it's like a dirty blonde and I'll use this on people who don't want to have super like light highlights but they still want them to look like kind of buttery and natural I'll definitely use this on people I also use it for a middle color a lot so when I'm doing color melts this will be the darker color then 07NB is the transition color and it looks so pretty so definitely check this one out it's really really pretty so 08N is also one of my favorites it's also in neutral again remember and for neutral so 8 we're getting higher and we're getting lighter so this is what I'll use on somebody who gets highlights but wants them to look very natural but also like it has this like sandy color to it it's so pretty I love it it's super cool so I'll use this on somebody who wants that type of look like not super bright blonde at all but like this sandy tone I'll put a picture up in the corner here to show you guys okay I want to explain this o 08GN equals green I know that sounds scary but this is for people with red hair who need to color correct it so I use this on people who come in and they they're working through a color correction this is what I'll use on them all over because it completely takes away the red write me if you guys are gonna do this at home and if you're confused you and I can talk and I can help you figure this out but the GN's are the colors to go for if you have red and you need to color correct it oh this is 9gb I use nine levels constantly I feel like that's what I mostly use redken shades EQ is mostly my blondes so I have this one which is GB which is gold beige so I know we don't want warmth I know we don't want red but when stylist use gold or beige on you do not worry it's gonna be a very neutral pretty blonde even though gold like sets off that alarm like it's gonna be yellow it's not at all it's gonna be just very warm and beautiful so I'll use this a lot on my blondes if you want something that's more of like kind of a warmer but still buttery blond this is my favorite okay I'm just gonna bring all three of these guys cuz I use them all so much so 9b is something I would use on people who want to be super cool blonde this is also great for color correcting I'll toss b's into anything that is orange so if you're lifting to an orange tone use a B that will totally eliminate the orange color and it's because on the color wheel orange and blue are complete opposites so they neutralize each other so I'll put the little color wheel up here just always refer back to that when you're looking at your own hair say okay I've got like some red here so what are you gonna use green it's right opposite to it so I also love 9nb so pretty neutral blue it is almost like a sand blonde super super pretty it is just like very natural the name is Irish cream which I like love I think that sounds so pretty but it's even prettier on your hair so if you have like 9 level blond highlights and you want them to feel very like natural sandy like definitely use this one so so pretty also if you're going for something neutral like very natural blonde 9-n is really really gorgeous it's I'd say this is more sandy blonde than anything it does drop your highlights so when you use 9 levels on my girls who are like they want to be bright bright blonde platinum that's when I'll bring in clear so you use a 9 then you take clear with 9 level and I would dilute it so that it didn't drop completely to a 9 so if you have like super super blond highlights they're probably a 10 or above level wise so I would use clear to make this a 10 and then I put it all over and that way you're not losing the brightness of your highlights and you still get to have that pretty tone all over your sandy blonde hair ok guys so that it's just a really quick tutorial on shades eq toners these are
