Redken EQ Gloss & Permanent Color: Best Practices & Potential Risks

It is generally not recommended to apply Redken EQ shades gloss the same day as applying permanent color.

Here's why:

* Hair Health: Permanent color involves a chemical process that can leave the hair cuticle open and more porous. Applying a gloss immediately after can potentially cause further damage or lead to unpredictable color results.

* Color Accuracy: The gloss may not adhere properly or evenly if the hair is still undergoing the chemical process from the permanent color.

* Potential Reactions: Combining different chemical treatments can lead to unexpected reactions, such as color fading or unwanted tones.

Best Practice:

* Wait at least 24 hours: Allow the permanent color to fully process and the hair cuticle to seal before applying any gloss.

* Consult a professional: Always consult a professional stylist who can assess your hair condition and recommend the best course of action.

Alternative:

If you're looking for a quick shine boost after permanent color, consider using a color-safe conditioner or a clear gloss treatment that won't alter the color.

Remember, prioritizing hair health and achieving your desired results requires careful consideration and proper timing.
