Testing Redken Shades EQ Toners!

[@bayareababe]

One more thing, I would LOVE to see some mushroom blondes or browns; AND/or level 6/7 formulations. There aren’t enough educational videos of these and I feel that they are the most flattering on everyone but I can NEVER get the formula down perfect.

[@Blendsations]

Yes deff planing on something for next video ! Redken shades Eq part 4 ? Lol

[@bayareababe]

@@Blendsations can’t wait! I need help! I for the life of me can’t get my hair color right. What formula do you use if you want to achieve mushroom bronde (not too ashy not too warm- (almost like a baby blonde/dishwater blonde) I can’t get rid of this brass! I’m too afraid to leave the shades eq on long enough I think...I used 7T plus a little bit of 7N and it did nothing. Maybe I need to go to a level 6? Currently working on STILL brassy level 7 roots/mids , level 8 ends /balayage

[@Blendsations]

Send me pics of your hair on my hair page, it’s blendxsations then I’ll let you know what I would do !

[@bayareababe]

@@Blendsations ok but what page? Instagram?

[@Blendsations]

The best thing to remember about Shades EQ is that it is a progressive colour molecule, meaning the longer you leave it on the darker the outcome.

[@nalafitness9152]

I actually thought the first try turned out pretty well, given the orange you started with!

[@wendy8561]

I love how you went in your cabinet and got some most empties and tried it on a mannequin that is so awesome really I give you much props💯💯

[@Blendsations]

Thank you !!

[@bayareababe]

Do another one! I loved it! I was so happy to see you working on an orange level 7...but yes the outcome was a little teeny bit ‘womp womp’ but that’s ok!! It just totally confirmed to me that a natural should go into just about every root formula to maintain balance

[@Blendsations]

Yes !!

[@jcjc3914]

I believe The rv’s are violent (rose gold)purply not red. Also I have to say that the formulas are pretty specific especially since it’s acid based so you can’t use different products and get the same result. Redken shines are also a treatment. . It’s like saying if I mix egg beaters and real egg it’s the same because they are both eggs 🥚 no it’s not that same. Food even taste different when cooked in different pans ex. 2 you can’t use all extreme ash and expect it to not be flat looking. Redken works very well so learning formulas that produce balanced results is real advantage

[@Blendsations]

Thank you for this feed back! This is exactly why I make videos like this. Just for fun and to learn from it! I’m a hands on learner !

[@bayareababe]

It’s literally like chemistry in a lab. Especially with the background colors! I had no idea hair color even was that technical! Its a lot to take into consideration and I think a hair colorist who understands this is soooo hard to find! Always learning!!

[@jessicabrook1]

I thought redken eq u gotta use the processing solution ..

[@melissagreen_]

I'd love to see you test some popular EQ mixes for blondes, say a level 9 or 10 to start and use a range of mixes like 9V, 9P & 9N, or 9V, 9p & 9GI, or 9VG & 9P. It would be good to see how these mixtures work out. Thanks for posting.

[@Blendsations]

Oh girl I got tons of shades Eq videos for you! I’m currently editing another one right now

[@melissagreen_]

@@Blendsations Awesome, can't wait!

[@yaryfalcon4521]

Still better than what it was!! Lol I’m really enjoying your videos👏

[@Blendsations]

Thank you !!!

[@jessicamaciel5239]

5:34 - girl the chicken noise scared the shit of me lol hahahhahahaha T-T Thanks for the video

[@wendy8561]

Love this video new subscriber keep making more of these videos for first time learners because you always mix an m or neutral or gold some type of opposite with an ash learned that the hard way and also the purple the ro's in shades is violet /red just done that the other day and had a client turn pinkish purple but I was lacking gold or neutral I think this is totally awesome for beginners and very much needed out in KZbin thank you!!! 💪💪💪💪💯💯💯💯💯

[@Blendsations]

Thank you so so so much !!

[@yaryfalcon4521]

Suggestion, a lil more styling on the outcomes it helps appreciate your work more 😘

[@Jrodrig1138]

I want a medium ash/moss green brown color and I’m trying to see what will work with eq shades 6GN (Moss). I need to be careful it doesn’t turn black lol. I want like a level 5 result but that kind of dark mossy ash brown color. Any suggestions on what to mix with? Starting color will prob be a level 8 or 9

[@alr902]

Yeah I thought it actually turned out quite well... it actually helped me figure out my own hair. I looked like Mrs. Maniquin..

[@catjones2684]

Same

[@caroline8029]

That first colour was exactly how my hair turned out when I tried to cover the orange! I don’t want to go darker and I don’t think my hair can handle any more bleach so I have no idea how to get some life and light back into it 😢

[@MrRedback22]

I quite like it first round, then saw more close up at the end... ended up good tho. I realize you had a result you wanted in mind..

[@millennialdisposition]

4:30 it actually looks better than I thought it would

[@Sarahabdulaziz.m]

i disagree i really like the hair color

[@catjones2684]

Same

[@Proudchristian1975]

Its because those shades of toner were not meant for that color of hair. The hair needed to be much lighter in order to achieve the right tone..

[@ChesterConner-kz1iv]

It was different because you used 2 different colors....next time try doing the same recipe but do half clear and ijust use the color you used for the roots probably be perfect!! Thank for sharing!!

[@alexandriamangano5418]

You should try out guy tang toners next! Especially the rapid ones!!

[@irisgallegos4232]

Wow surprises.. Dang didnt think it look like that good job

[@likexchloe]

Hi, i was wondering what if you use a darker shade of redken shades eq (level5) and you want to remove the color and go for a level 9 shade, what do you use to remove the color ? would malibu cpr help?

[@milomazli]

this is such an informative video!!! thank you!!!

[@Blendsations]

Thank you!!

[@dmmice2344]

I’m curious about the 8t color. My hair has some yellow/gold and orange tones with the tops being very light. I want to know if the 8t would work on its own?

[@yaryfalcon4521]

Particularly the T shows at least a level darker than what it is

[@Blendsations]

Yes this makes sense

[@christys1620]

I think it's pretty 😍

[@meilanamusic]

Not weird at all, red and blue make purple

[@teecna2669]

Would mixing 9v in 6GG toner bring it to Natural? Would the violet help to cancel the gold? But not make it too ashy?

[@Blendsations]

No the levels are too far apart. And 9V won’t be able to cancel out gold at a level 6. It may just make the toner lighter. Do them at the same level. 8VG is one of my favorite toners by shades Eq

[@jackiekaufman6082]

I love the color I think it looks nice but I’m not a professional

[@Megan6772]

I came here due to the title, but the fact that you mixed Joico in makes this different :/

[@laviniarramani3156]

Hi! Very nice ! I have orange and yellow in my hair, what level should I use to remove those? A 7? A 8?

[@Blendsations]

A in shades is auburn accent so it’s orange ! You will need a Blue / violet toner to cancel out orange/yellow !

[@XXX-ur1vw]

Do i need a level 7 toner to remove the orange from bleached hair? Or what would u say

[@Blendsations]

Yes. The dominate pigment at level 7 is orange. I would use a BV + N

[@wendy8561]

@@Blendsations yes absolutely love your formulation and channel can't get enough 💜😭💜

It’s prettier after it fades a lil

Have you done a video on the level 8/9 toners for blondes

Something about it is really bugging me that you're using Loomis shine when you titled the video testing redken shades
