Use these five new shades alone or formulate them with the 38 Color Gels Oils shades to personalize Coffeehouse blends for gray coverage.
This ammonia-free, fragrance-free and no-drip liquid permanent color provides Redken’s deepest, most saturated coverage with minimal reflect that includes two percent apricot oil to smooth wiry, brittle gray strands.
Color Gels Oils is formulated for true-to-tone results on 100 percent gray hair and uses the traditional level system. Make sure to formulate accordingly for use on clients with lower levels of gray.
If a client is less than 50 percent gray, consider one of the following suggestions to ensure results of desired color:
- Lessen saturation and soften tone by mixing Clear into the formula.
- If including a shade from Redken’s NN series, consider substituting a corresponding N shade instead, as the N series provides less saturated tonality.
- Use a higher level developer to avoid results appearing deeper than expected. All Redken permanent lines share Redken’s Pro-oxide Developer which come in 10, 20, 30 and 40 volumes.
When it comes to application, Color Gels Oils consistency makes it easy to apply your way. While a bottle application is faster, a bowl and brush will offer extra control. Make the decision that’s best for you and your client’s hair.
