FAQs

What is the mixing ratio for Redken Color Gels Lacquers?

The standard mixing ratio is 1:1 with a Redken professional developer. Always refer to the product's specific instructions for the most accurate ratio based on your desired service.

Can this product be used for all hair types?

Yes, Redken Color Gels Lacquers is suitable for all adult hair types seeking permanent color with gray coverage and shine. However, the specific developer volume should be chosen based on the hair's condition and desired lift.

How long does the color typically last?

As a permanent hair color, Redken Color Gels Lacquers provides long-lasting results. Fade resistance is excellent, but the longevity can be influenced by hair condition, at-home care, and environmental factors.

Can I use this product with other brands' developers?

It is highly recommended to use Redken Color Gels Lacquers with Redken's professional developers for optimal performance and predictable results. Using other brands may affect the color outcome and stability.

What is the ammonia percentage in this formula?

Redken Color Gels Lacquers features a low percentage of ammonia, making it a gentler option compared to traditional high-ammonia permanent colors while still achieving excellent gray coverage and lift.

How does Color Gels Lacquers compare to Shades EQ?

Color Gels Lacquers is a permanent color line, while Shades EQ is an acidic demi-permanent color. They are designed to complement each other, allowing stylists to achieve seamless results from roots to ends using both permanent and demi-permanent options.

What are the professional applications this color supports?

This color is ideal for full gray coverage, creating dimensional color melts, root shadows, and achieving rich, glossy, fade-resistant results. It can also provide up to 4 levels of lift.

Troubleshooting

Color appears darker than expected.

Ensure accurate mixing ratios and check developer volume. Overlapping application or leaving the color on for too long can also lead to a darker result. Consider a slightly longer processing time for root shadow techniques to avoid excessive darkening.

Uneven color application or patchiness.

Thoroughly cleanse and dry hair before application. Ensure even saturation of the hair strands and apply the color systematically. Use a fine-tooth comb to distribute the color evenly, especially on porous or previously treated hair.

Limited lift achieved.

Confirm the correct developer volume was used. For increased lift, a higher volume developer (up to 30 vol for this product) may be necessary, but always consider the hair's condition and the desired outcome. Ensure the hair is completely dry before application.

Color fades quickly.

While designed for fade resistance, initial color saturation is key. Ensure full saturation during application. Advise clients on proper at-home care using color-safe products and minimizing exposure to harsh elements.
