Color Correct Hair Using Redken Shades EQ | How To Fix Hair Color | Daniella Benita

In this video we are talking all about hair color corrections using Redken Shades EQ. We walk through each level, the undertone, and the corrective tone.
It's full of great tips if you're coloring your hair yourself or need a refresher for the salon, so get ready to take some notes! As you all know Shades EQ is my favorite product and the more you know the better your colors will be!
Correcting hair color can be tough. It's a confluence of your clients hair type, color and product history, your knowledge of the product you're using to repair the hair color, and your artistic ability as a hair stylist. But don't be scared! When you can fix a client's hair color gone-wrong and bring out their best look, there is nothing that will make them more happy and loyal to your business.

Blonding and toning is intense. 9P, 9V, 9T, 9N, 9G, 9AA, 9NA, 9GN, 9B, needs a swatch on it's own to see the difference within the blonde tones.

[@zoezzzarko1117]

Agreed !!!

[@simranbinner7088]

OH MY GOD FINALLY SOMETHING SIMPLE BUT INFORMATIVE

[@DaniellaBenita]

so glad it helped!!!

[@Megan6772]

Exactly!!!!!

[@mihoarai7348]

This is the most helpful and easiest tutorial about hair toning and colouring. Bow down to both of you.

[@DelilahZoe]

BEST VIDEO! Thanks for going over everything thoroughly. SWATCHES would have been the icing on the cake -- or more photos of results from the toners you mentioned for each situation. THANK YOU!!

[@lwebster37]

This video was SO helpful in learning how shades work. I love color correcting videos and thank you for the formulas!

[@Sowindiee10]

Been looking for something like this for hours--thank you so much for boiling it down so easily!

[@boocat3363]

Wow!! Thank you so much for this! I am a cosmetologist and the newer shades eq colors had me confused 🤷‍♀️. This cleared up so much confusion and questions i had!

[@LaughOverIt]

You guys are awesome ! I'm really glad I came acrossed your channel ! I'm starting to learn about this color line and switch to just using this mostly and you guys really help educate and helped me understand what the letters actually mean !

[@Everyyoueverymiau]

Thank you so much. I used 1:1 9T and 9V with a splash of 9N on yellow hair and I loved it. I also got a lot of compliments.

[@veejovan2429]

I love that quote! I’ve struggled with balancing money with gratification through making people feel good. And I came to the same conclusion as well that as long as I’m making people happy and making them feel better and making their life better through my work then the money will come because they will continue to come back. This allowed me to focus on my clients and not my dollar. It is absolutely paid off.

[@t.b.1596]

Thank you young ladies for an in depth color correction education refresher!

[@capt.morgan7915]

I found your video and I’ve been a hairstylist/chemical specialist for 30 years. Well done ladies!!

[@iamwithhim1434]

You two are awesome! Great job explaining but keeping it simple.

One of the most informative hair videos I've seen, great work ladies

[@dfwlove]

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this video is so informative I appreciate it

[@TheTialalande]

Thank u !!!! I always seem to pull orange and copper and my hair lightens really well but anytime somebody slaps a toner on my hair or any permanent color near my roots that isn't lightener it always pulls orangey red so thank you. You have no idea how hard it's been to find products to get somebody to get me that lived in ombre beachy blonde look with a deep root... So far two stylists can't achieve it and I keep pulling orangey red.. wish you guys lived in Canada because my God ..

[@musicjunkie242]

Hi girls, I’ve essentially grown up in my mom’s hair salon and although I’ve observed her cutting, coloring, and styling hair all my life, there are just too many critical lessons and processes that must be taught and understood when applying any of those skills. And because it always looked so effortless to watch, and I thought I could do anything I put my mind too, (lol) I convinced myself that I wanted to do my own from now on...lol. That was 15 years ago and I’m still making huge mistakes, and most are related to color! Most of my knowledge pertaining hair have come from “how-to” tutorials and through trial and error. There are amazing videos that provide clear step by step demonstrations, the products used, and tips along the way. What’s hardly ever mentioned in any of the hair coloring tutorials is color theory, and what you must know personally about your own hair first. You guys explore this topic beautifully and in depth.. The info and content in this video is absolutely priceless and I wanted to thank you so much! I love your videos, Danielle Benita!!! I’ve watched and learned from you for a long time! You have by far the most knowledgeable, down to earth, quality color-based information, out there!

[@mariannebrows6426]

[@alicereighley2584]

Thank you for sharing your ratios and formulas. I always ask people to share not bc I want to copy the exact formula, but bc I want a feel for “how much” of something you’re actually adding. It helps me get a feel for the potency of each tone!

Fantastic video ! Ive been using shades eq and doing a lot of color correction! Just when you think “what else is there to learn.... I stumbled on your video ! Why use double developer?? I rarely use clear because I tone wet hair and for some reason I decided the color would last longer not using clear... can you do another video on 1 why you double the processing solution at high levels 2. How to keep violet and N at 8-9 not looking flat or overly cool 3. How you get those beautiful golden beige tones for those ladies that don’t want to be super blonde

[@jessicaroybal9625]

I’m so thankful for coming across this. Wow, you ladies are so Wonderful for doing this! I’d love to see a tutorial as you mix the color/ real results. With all the levels. Taking the time to explain is powerful and positive. Much love to you. I want you to be my teacher now at school. I want to be an expert at color like you two. Can the next tutorial be Showing how to mix, apply, time, with all the levels and end result with blow dried. I feel as if I’m just being taught only about bleaching, leaving client to wait in between and then coming in again for bleach and toners.

[@DaniellaBenita]

Awe thank you!!!

[@AubsTheChristian]

I noticed if I use a 9V or B without the clear, it is very intense and their blonde sucks up the color like crazy (including myself), so I'm definitely going to try adding clear from now on!!

Thank you for this video 🙏🏽 I’m not a hair prof stylist, I’m just a bold busy working momma. I’ve tried looking for these Redken Shades EQ and no beauty supply sells it around me 😩 they say only stylist supply stores sells it but I can’t seem to find those places either. Any idea where I can find those 05N, O4N, 6GB, 9B & 9NB plus Clear and processing solution? I don’t have a license 😣 but I’m about to beg a supply store.

Hi, Thanks for a great tutorial. I am going to be doing a balayage and have bought 9VG to tone. I've also bought the clear. Would you suggest going half 9VG and half clear or should I also be adding in a 9N or something else? I'm planning on lightening to around level 9. Thanks

[@rennieackerman4027]

hey daniella - love your tutorials. need your advice. I'm a 5 brunette with 20% ash gray growth. I want to "usher in the gray" but I want to add a couple of lowlights in a very ashy cool tone so that the salt-n-pepper doesn't look so "salty." I saw on the redken website "SLATE BROWN" that was a perfect color for me, but I don't see where a consumer can get that. now I'm thinking I should just tone with redken "iron" toner. curious to hear your opinion.
