I was pleasantly surprised by this dry shampoo powder. I have been using it a few times per week for over a month, and it has really grown on me. At first, I was concerned that this would be messy, but application is a breeze with a gentle hand. I find most aerosol dry shampoos to have an overwhelming scent, so appreciate that this is unscented and non-aerosol. It is easy to massage into the roots and work through the hair. I never have to worry about using too much and ending up with the dreaded stiff, crunchy feeling. My hair is dark blonde, and this does not leave any sort of cast on my roots. Overall, this leaves my hair clean, lightly volumized, and touchable. I received this product complimentary for testing and review purposes.

Hi there, last year was one of the most difficult years in my life, my credit was bad, I mean I had a low score of about 591. I did all I could to raise my credit score to its normal state but no avail. I had a lot to do but couldn’t due to the negative items on credit report. But somehow, I contacted ROOTKITS CREDIT SPECIALIST, after reading various reviews and testimonies on credit magic. Initially I just wanted to satisfy my emotion but to my greatest surprise they really made a difference. ROOTKITS CREDIT SPECIALIST not only increased my credit profile, they monitored my credit score and track it, and they helped me get the financial respect I deserve. They also advise me on how to stay away from unhealthy financial lifestyles. What can I say?

Love the range of toners available with shades, beautifully delicate options for blondes and the sheer coverage is great for shadow rooting or even gray clients that want less of a harsh growout. My only complaint is that the hair does feel roughed up after and always necessitates deep moisture for detangling--can be tricky to comb through and fully saturate when the hair is already prone to tangles and dry/damaged.

I have used Redken Shades EQ several times and in several different shades. They work great for toning hair or for a semi permanent color pick me up. I love love love that it has a glossing effect too, it really adds the shine. For this review I am referring to the clear gloss because that’s what I have used on myself most recently. I LOVE the clear gloss! You can add the shine and gloss effect without altering your color. I love this option since I am currently trying to strengthen and heal my hair in order to lighten again and gradually take my hair back to blonde. Can’t say enough good things about Redken Shades EQ!

Great glossy color

I use this color in 9V as a toner for my blond hair. It leaves my hair soft and glossy with no damage whatsoever. It does leave it a little dry so it's necessary to use a very hydrating conditioner afterward, but other than that, I have nothing but good things to say about it. 9V has a violet base which neutralizes overly golden tones that inevitably creep into my heavily highlighted hair about a month after I have the color done, probably because of the minerals in the Florida water. It's nice that I can do the toner myself and not have to pay for an expensive salon appointment (my colorist uses the same darn thing). I only leave the color on for 5 minutes, which is just long enough to tone the overly golden tones without losing the highlights themselves. I've also ... MoreI use this color in 9V as a toner for my blond hair. It leaves my hair soft and glossy with no damage whatsoever.

I've also mixed 9V with 9NB when I want a more neutral result. Either way Shades EQ works great and I recommend it highly. Nothing could be easier. It's a professional salon product that delivers salon quality results that lasts 15-20 shampoos (as long as you use a sulfate free formula) What could be better than that? I highly recommend SEQ. It's an exceptional color product I've used for years.

Great product just out of date.....still usable though!!

I realize this is a product used by professionals and technically not supposed to be available to non-licensed people but I wish Sleek Shop would at least be up front that the product they are selling is left overs from salons that didn\'t use them up in time. They still work but not as great as if they were within the use by time frame. I was a licensed Cosmetologist in Massachusetts but moved away and unfortunately let that license lapse so I am stuck buying professional quality products from sites like this. And for that I am grateful, believe me it beat anything from Sally\'s (not that they don\'t have some good stuff also) and I would be lost without sites like this providing a home for the leftovers from professional salons.

I mix 6N and 5N for my perfect natural Hair color

I love Redken EQ shades. My mother is a hair dresser and uses these colors and tones all the time. I usually mix the 6N and 5N for a perfect natural medium brown color and it usually lasts about 15 washes. It also makes my hair shiny and glossy. Definitely a salon looking color. I also mix it with redken 10 volume for a more lasting color (redken is converting to the 10Volume instead of the processing solution). Use 1 part color to 1 part 10 volume. I highly recommend this product, you wont be disappointed. FYI, this color does NOT cover gray hair (only for a few washes). You should use Matrix Socolor coverage or a permanent color.

Long lasting color and high shine!

First off I'd like to state that for a gloss, the lasting power is incredible. The color lasted longer than some permanent dyes I have used. Now, for the rest of my review...Revlon Shades EQ will likely be the ONLY dye I will use on my hair from here on out. The consistency is a thin, watery and almost gel-like which makes distributing the product very easy. I'm a big fan of mixing colors to create more dimensional hair colors, and shades EQ is perfect for that. My current color is a mix of 3RV and 3RV which indoors appears to be a very rich and sultry brunette, but outdoors gleams and reflects luxurious shades of red and hints of violet. As previously stated, the color lasts a very long time (6 to 8 weeks). I found the gloss to be non-damaging, very conditioning ... MoreFirst off I'd like to state that for a gloss, the lasting power is incredible.

As previously stated, the color lasts a very long time (6 to 8 weeks). I found the gloss to be non-damaging, very conditioning and it delivers a shine that leaves your looking incredibly healthy. This color gloss IS suitable for extensions, I used 2 bottles total of the color gloss to dye my Bellami extensions. The color gloss didnt do any damage to my extensions and actually left them feeling healthier (which may have to do with olaplex) and restored the original shine that they had when I first purchased them.If you've ever used the L'oreal Preference dyes from Sally's, I find those to be an adequate dupe and is what I used previously, however Shades EQ is significantly more conditioning and less than damaging then the L'oreal dye and in my experience lasts much longer. Shades EQ is a little more pricey, but in my opinion worth the price difference.Each bottle is 2oz and meant to be used in a 1:1 ratio with the processing solution. My hair is past collarbone length and VERY thick, and I needed 3oz total (1 1/2 bottles) of the color gloss, which i mixed with 3oz of processing solution. I used a mixing bowl and standard tint brush to apply, however because of the consistency of the product I do believe that even application of the gloss can be easily achieved with an applicator bottle as well.I did use Olaplex in my color formula and post gloss i followed up with the two step Aphogee treatment and use Joico K-Pak shampoo and conditioner, Healthy Sexy Hair leave in conditioner and coconut oil after every washing. I find this combination of products to be best for my hair and recommend this regimen in addition to using Redken Shades EQ.The only cons to this product are that it does still smell like hair dye even though its a gloss (so open your windows during application), and it does stain clothing so do not wear light colored clothing when hair is wet after the first two or three times of washing hair after application, and of course don't wear clothes you care about while applying the product.

The best toner

This is one of my favorite toners. I use it in conjunction with the shades we processing solution and it does an amazing job. I usually leave it on for 15 minutes and after I wash it off this toner will have turned my ‘washed out’ (maybe even slightly brassy blonde) back to an icy blonde. It looks like I went to the salon. This saves me so much money (if I’d go to the salon just for a tone it’ll be like $70 plus tip) and also time. I always have some bottles or these toners on hand. Also this is a semi permanent toner/color so it washes out after 20 washes or so which I prefer.

The most horrible thing I have ever come across!

To Whom It May Concern,I would like to start off by saying that about 4 weeks ago, I went to a salon and paid 170$ to get a gorgeous, red dye job. I loved it, but knew that red fades quickly, and so acknowledged that I would have to tone and shine and seal it between dyeing. About 2 weeks later, I touched it up for the first time, as I noticed some areas were fading. I had a professional use Redken to tone the red back in, and ended up with a horrible color that I could only describe as "shit brown". I was very upset, and after waiting a day I dyed it using a cheap hair dye from Sally's, which brought it back to my beautiful red. A week or so later, I decided to give Redken another chance, deciding that it must have been a poor choice of toner by the stylist, and ... MoreTo Whom It May Concern,I would like to start off by saying that about 4 weeks ago, I went to a salon and paid 170$ to get a gorgeous, red dye job.

A week or so later, I decided to give Redken another chance, deciding that it must have been a poor choice of toner by the stylist, and that I perhaps had not asked for a bright enough red. I went to another place, and, with the help of another, well-respected, licensed stylist, got the reddist red Redken toners had. I followed the directions 100%, and once again ended up with SHIT BROWN HAIR! Did I also mention the horrible, chemical smell my hair has now from the supposed "toner", that I have never experienced with any other brand EVER?! Now I have to wait, wash and strip my hair, and apply the cheap dye again. In the meantime, I get to smell like chemicals all day and have a hair color that I hate. Redken "toner" not only failed to refresh and gloss my bright red, but went to far as to STRIP THE COLOR OUT COMPLETELY! What the fuck is that all about?! I would explain why this is absurd, but apparently no one at Redken has any inkling about how to deal with hair care products at all, and I feel that no one would understand me if I explained the hair-care process. If anyone DID understand, then we wouldn't be having this discussion, would we? This is the angriest I have ever been at a product, and am disgusted with the fact that you dare to advertise your reds line so fervently, considering the fact that you're basically selling packaged crap-in-a-bottle. This is, by far, the worst product I have ever had the misfortune of coming across, and I will devote my full energy at complaining on every review, every website, every blog, every youtube channel, and to every, single person I happen to come across. I am even going to upload my OWN youtube video with before and after pictures as PROOF that your shitty product is deceptive and defective! I have been unhappy with products before, but never have I been pushed to this limit. This product is disgusting, worthless, and most definitely not-as-advertised. If any more damage happens to my hair due to my having to re-dye it to fix this God-awful mistake, I will personally seek out a lawsuit against Redken. You are clearly marketing a bleacher and stripper as a "toner and depositor", which is ridiculous and an outright lie! At the very least, if this toner had not brightened my red, it should have darkened it if I had left it on too long, or done nothing if I had washed it out too soon. Under NO circumstances should my hair have been stripped of all color all together, lightened and made to smell like a chemical spill at a nuclear plant! Once again, this is a horrible product that is good for nothing but stripping paint off of walls! I am determined to spread the word about this, so no one else has to go through this anger and frustration like I did. I take very good care of my hair and resent the fact that I have to put it through so much torture to undo the mistake that a "professional" brand did to it! Absolutely ridiculous! I could use paint thinner and not have as horrible results as I did with your product! Shame on you for pretending to know what you're doing!Wishing your company nothing but failure from here on out,Deannap.s. I tried to send an email through your website, but conveniently had an "error" when I filed it under a complaint. Must be nice to be able to ignore complaints and pretend you don't suck!
