What is a demi-permanent hair colour gloss?

Demi-permanent hair colour gloss occupies a middle ground in terms of longevity, positioning itself between semi-permanent and permanent colour options. Unlike permanent hair colour products, demi-permanent hair colour is free of ammonia and is designed to deposit rich colour tones. It is expertly blended with a low-volume developer to gently open the cuticle, preserving its vibrancy through approximately 24 shampoo cycles. A demi-permanent hair gloss is well-suited for various applications, whether it's seamlessly blending grays, rejuvenating your current shade or rectifying any colour concerns.

How often should you use demi-permanent hair colour glosses?

It is recommended to apply hair gloss, such as Redken Shades EQ demi-permanent hair colour, every four weeks to preserve the vibrancy of your hair colour. However, the optimal timing should be adjusted based on the rate at which your hair colour fades and the porosity of your hair. Hair with higher porosity may require more frequent use of hair gloss products to uphold a fresh appearance. To extend the duration of your hair gloss, it is a good practice to use a colour-safe shampoo, such as Redken Color Extend Magnetics Sulfate-Free Shampoo, and wash your hair with cooler water. 

Do you use Redken Shades EQ hair glosses on wet or dry hair?

We recommend applying the Redken Shades EQ hair gloss to dry hair. The presence of any moisture in your hair can dilute the developer's effectiveness, leading to a less vibrant colour outcome or a shorter lifespan for the colour. Read Redken's beginner's guide to hair glosses.

Is hair gloss similar to hair toner?

No, they are different. Hair gloss serves to amplify shine and penetrate the hair cuticle with a subtle infusion of colour. This process revitalises existing hair dye and safeguards its radiance. In contrast, a toner is a post-colour treatment specifically designed to counteract any unwanted yellow or orange undertones present in bleached hair. It plays a vital role in any hair lightening process. Explore different techniques of hair lightening, such as bleaching, balayage and highlights.
