My FAVORITE Redken Shades EQ Toners // Hair Color Tutorial // Daniella Benita

- I'm so excited to share some of my FAVORITE Shades EQ toners that make beautiful hair color! Ever wondered what the numbers on the bottles really mean? I explain it here!
Shades EQ is a Demi permanent hair color line. That means it rinses very easily and won't directly deposit into your hair so it easily lifts out if you want to change it again.
Here's a direct link to the Shades EQ chart so you can look at every shade:
www.redkensalon.com/assets/fi...
Here are some of my favorite toning combos:
Icy, natural blonde:
9V, 9N, 9T equal parts with Shades EQ developer.
Sandy Medium Blonde:
2 ounces of 8N equal parts Shades EQ processing solution
Perfect root color or transition color for color melting:
7NB + 6N with equal parts Shades EQ processing solution
Transition color for color melting:
6GB + equal parts Shades EQ processing solution
Pretty, but also rich and warm brunette:
5NW + equal parts Shades EQ processing solution
Neutral brunette, looks good on every skin tone:
4NB + equal parts Shades EQ processing solution
Deep plum brunette shade (I love a brunette with a hint of plum in it):
3V + equal parts Shades EQ processing solution
Adding clear to any of these shades will make them deposit less on your hair and makes the tone less pigmented. Once you add clear you also have to add processing solution. That's the only way the color will deposit!

I love the air you breathe! Thanks for sharing the knowledge
You’re so sweet and gentle, I love how you explain things

You are a miracle!! I love your videos, thank you for taking the time of teaching us💗
Awe you’re welcome!! More coming soon!
Really love how well you know this product, and appreciate how well you articulate how to use it. Seriously the best video for Shades EQ that I've found. Thank you!
Daniella is the best explaining EQ shades!!!
Awe thank you!!! I love this product so much
You’re really good at explaining , slowly and clearly , I’m changing to redken from L’Oréal and your videos are so helpful thanks !!
sarah thank you!
Thank you,Danielle. You are an exceptional professional teacher. Thank you for taking time to make this very helpful educational video. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge expertise. All you do and teach is very much appreciated. Mucho Gracias.
I learned so much from this video. I also like your style of how you described everything. Your tone is sweet and made me feel comfortable. I’m definitely looking forward to more videos from you.
Thank you! 😘❤️
This is What i was looking for!! Al this hairdressers with tutorials will never give advice when you contact them. Love this! 😍
NNynaa thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
They won't give you advice because they are frightened of someone getting their formulas but they can't do everyone's hair so well done to this channel the stylist obviously is confident in her ability and should be too. I think she would make a great educational tutor because she explained everything as if you had never used the products or done training. And that's what we need not everyone is at the same level I refuse to sucribe to channel that don't explain what they are using as I think its supposed to be a tutorial so how can you learn if they don't give you the formulas to try. So channel like this i would use daily thanks
Excellent explanation of the EQ shades - while we are all doing our own hair it’s invaluable !!
Thank you for sharing these info! I struggle to find videos with quality info like this so I’m happy I came across your channel!
Omg thank you for this love how you explain the shades and how you give examples of highlights love it thank youuu
Your a great teacher thank.you! I have come out of retirement after 22 years.. 7 years ... its changed alot!. And we use shades at the salon im in ...but you made it so much more clear in the approach and explanations of the gorgeous colors you get from each shade. Good job. Thanks again
You're welcome! I love shades so much!
Thank you sooo much, you have just become my favorite hair color expert. Your information is concise and invaluable. I spent days searching to find out what different ShadesEQ products are
and how to correctly use them. You don't mess around with all the cutesy stuff, you just get down to business with clear explanations of meanings and uses. What a valuable service you are providing, esp. during this stay-at-home time!
Thank you thank you thank you!! I messed up my bayalage and ended up with red/orange hair. After I watched a TON of videos I landed on your channel which is the most comprehensive on toners and Redken Shades EQ. I ended up doing 07NB for the root and 08GN for the rest and it came out perfect (like a medium blonde which is what I was going for to begin with)! I LOVE your videos & how they're easy to comprehend. Keep em coming! 💚
Love the way you explain everything so clearly. It really help me to understand it better. Thank you so much.
You’re welcome!
There aren’t enough colorists who are willing to share basic formula information with students or just-getting-started-stylists. You’re a great teacher! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! I can't wait to teach more!
need suggestions on some formulas currently have about 8 9 and a lot of 10 in my hair I have darker Roots just need to tone or brighten my length and ends I have 10t 10p 10gi and 9N processing solution and the Crystal clear just not sure what formula I should use I dont currently have any v new to all of these shades into the industry please help just not sure of what formula would go together or maybe separate
Amen❤
I came here by accident.... and stayed!
Thank you. This clip was extremely interesting... spot on. I love the way how you share your knowledge with us. Thank you.
Look forwards to visit your channel. Hugs from UK❤🌷
You're welcome!
This was soooo informative!!! I LOVED this! 💖💖💖
AMAZING!! I can actually understand everything you're saying and it all makes sense now because of the way you present the product thank you sincerely thank you
Yay! That’s what I’m trying to do! You’re welcome!
You’re amazing, I’ve learned so much from you.
Thank you! x
Awe you're welcome!
Great info on shades EQ. Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
I learn so much from your video. Its always refreshing to watch it.
Thank you love!
Omg! What an amazing video. This is my first time watching you, I just saw you the first minute and I definitely subscribe.
Daniella, would love to see an updated video with the new level 10’s. Favorite formulas etc., also add timing. I know 20 minutes is standard processing time, but we all know if you leave certain shades on that long they would get too dark.
Do you have an average processing time for toning blondes? 💜💙💛
Wow, so helpful! I’ve been wanting to try Shades, but am always a little leery of trying new colors lines. Thank you!!
Michelle K you will absolutely love it I promise! DM me on instagram if you have any other questions!
Daniella Benita thank you so much!
Daniella Bonita use shades eq it’s so awesome
WHAT A FANTASTIC VIDEO AND EASY TO USE
This is a great source of information about this product. Thank you so much. You did a great job. As well, you probably saved a lot of us from screaming at the top of our lungs when we look in the mirror after coloring our hair because we got it wrong with the color.
You're welcome!
Yay! Love this video! Thank you. So excited for you and your new Beautiful salon.
I hope you can video some results using these Shades on your clients. Also a how you style/ beachy wave tutorial.
Thank you! I’m shooting a new tutorial every Monday so my next tutorial will be a beach wave style tutorial for you 😘😘😘
Daniella Benita oh thank you
Daniella Benita do these toners need to be put on dry or wet hair?
Sherry Dufrenne they can be put on either. Dry hair absorbs the color more and wet hair absorbs less. So if I don’t want the color to really show I’ll put it on wet but if I really want it to deposit fully I’ll put it on completely dry hair.
Daniella Benita ❤️🤗Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much for explaining!!!! Could you please do a video explaining more about the EQs for red heads 😊
Thanks Benita.....your info is a such a blessing ....BTW love the Ghirardelli brunette shade in another video...winter toner series and awesome shade....
Thank you so much for this video. 9T+9V+9N is gorgeous.

You’re welcome!!! 😘😘😘
Thank you so much! That was so helpful! ☺
Jennifer Rudd welcome! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Daniella for the info, very helpful. Love the product as my hair is 100% gray and the shades eq leaves my hair so shiny and soft. However, I can't seem to figure out right color or colors to use. My hair is completely silver. I used the Amethyst Quartz color but my hair came out really dark because I really don't know what I'm doing as I've always gone to a professional but lately all they want to do is permanent color and cover up my grays. I went gray because I got tired of the gray roots showing within a week of coloring. That's why I love the shades eq. The color just washes away so I don't get that unsightly gray root look. Could you please suggest some colors that would enhance the gray or add some blonde to my grays. Nobody really does tutorials for us gray haired folks and it would be so helpful! Thank you!
Hey Jeannine! Could you DM me a picture of your hair and I'll help you formulate!
Daniella Benita can you share some gray formulations to enhance 80% gray with 20% level 4? I want to help my aunt with her 0hair because its a bit flat and slightly frizzy. She does have natural wave curl too. Also can you add ph-bonder to Redken shades? Thank you
Such an amazing video ! It heped me a lot to choose a suitable shade for my hair ! thx alot ❤️
Finally someone made the video I was looking for!
This was so informative!! Thank you so much 🙌🏼👏🏻
Alex Kerckhove you’re so welcome! My new salon is almost ready and I’ll be making a lot more videos about redken shades ❤️
On the last part of your video when you have the 09N and the clear do you do half and half equal parts and the equal part of the shades processing solution?
So thankful for your educational videos! You really should look into teaching. Hope the new salon is going well. Keep posting these, they help so much!
This video is great!! As a hairstylist, I have not been doing hair for awhile so i feel like I’ve lost knowledge but now that I’ve watched this i want to get back into doing hair more than lashes!! Thank you! :)
Aladrienne Wood thank you!!! More coming soon!
Daniella Benita yesss! I can’t wait!
Great video!! My hair is long, very dark, Kim Kardashian, look. For the past 15 years my hairdresser has been applying Redkends Shades to eliminate the red tones and add shine. I love the results and that's why I keep going back!! I've been wanting to do my hair at home for economical reasons but I felt I couldn't. I happened to come across your tutorial and it's very helpful. It would be great If you did more videos that focuses on darker hair or help me formulate my own. My question: On occasion, my hairdresser has said he uses Expresso and a small amount of Onyx. I haven't build up courage to ask what exactly would I need if I decided to do it myself at home. How much Expresso to onyx and adding shine? I also don't like my hair to look blue when the light shines on it. I'm just trying to figure all this out and would love, love your help. Thanks!
D O hey love! Could you DM me on instagram and I’ll help you formulate? @DaniellaBenita
I love the detail you took to explain all the toners. I had been getting my hair bleach and toned at a redken salon for many years and when I went over seas for 9 months I experimented with toners to keep my hair fresh.
My hair stylist moved recently and I have been looking for the best redken fillers to dye my hair back to a dark brown, like the 3N you were talking about. Do you have an suggestions or tutorials for this process?
3N is super pretty and all you do is mix the shade you want with the exact amount of processing solution. When in doubt always do a test strand!
Thank you for speaking clearly and for all the info!🙏
Thank GOD you've made this video. Seriously soooo helpful. Forever thankful!
You’re welcome!
Thank you for the video. I have very blonde hair( like level 11)and I am thinking on putting some low lights with the 9n. Should I wet my hair first so it deposits evenly?
Hey! I would use it on dry hair so it deposits evenly.
Thank you for this - you covered so much :) Question: Since I have orange, yellow, and some red tones in my bleached hair - can I mix toners in order to cancel out unwanted tones? i.e. Can 9 gb or 9b with 8 gn cancel out all orange and yellow tones? I'd like to create a beige blonde balancing of cool and warm.
What did you do?
Love this video, im new with the EQ shades and im loving them. Your video is so informative and entertaining
Thanks girl!
Daniella Benita My stylist suggested , to highlight my greys, he use a honey color of shades. Applied all over, on my level 5 brunette, salt and pepper hair. The cost was terribly expensive. I'd like to know if you could suggest what color you think would be best for this and where nan I purchase the products?
Loveeee! You made everything so easy! Thank you!
Just so people know, the "clear" does NOT make the color "lighter"!! It makes it PALER, it will not lighten your hair to a further level, it will dull the severity of the color.
Oh thank you! I was just wondering this.
Thanks for explaining that
Less concentrated and paler means less pigment I. The formula. It can absolutely come out lighter. It won’t turn a level 7 to a 9, but it absolutely might be a 7.5 or 8.
Awesome video. I love this line and it definitely takes a lot of practice to figure out how to tweak it. I know this video is already really long but I think it would be great for you to do a video that focuses on the darker colors and on the blondes and then maybe on the warm and show real hair swatches before and after so we can see the change it made and how you normally use it. People are definitely obsessed with this line when it comes to level nine blond I think you could end up making a lot of videos just on different concoctions on light blond hair if you show swatches. Thanks
I was thinking the exact same thing! I’ll add it to my video list!
Thank you so much for this tutorial!! VERY helpful! 🤗
I absolutely love how you explain the color and overall process. Can you please do tutorial on how to do an eye of the tiger balayage? Or if you can list the shades you would use to achieve that. Thanks 😊
So I’m thinking of switching to redken from Paul Mitchell. Do the shades cover grey as well?
Cat Briones hey! They don’t but you could use Redkens color gels or Redken cover fusion to cover grey!
Hi Daniela! can you make a video explaining all the letters of the shades eq,please? because I have no idea. I wanted to tone down my balayage ( it was to light for me) it wasn't brassy, so I ended up purchasing from ebay 08na, first tried in a strand of hair and turned violet purple! I don't know why :( .Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
I love your videos! Their so informative!
So glad I found you! So informative. Thank you
So glad!
Thank you so much for all that info. I will be using for the first time the 6N for roots and the 9V for my blond highlighted hair, I hear 9V is beautiful for very blond hair. Should I add some of the clear as well or the 9V will be enough?
Virginia Garcia 9v is absolutely beautiful but only add clear if you don’t want it to deposit as much. So if you are really light blonde use clear!
Thanks for the helpful video! I would really love to find a chart or something that shows exactly what each undertone is. Meaning..I have difficulties figuring out the amount of warmth to coolness in each shade, especially the light ones. Is B more pigmented than T? Where does P fall in place? Is it cooler than V?
Heather Taft hey love! I’ll attach a link to redkens color chart. You can look at the top of the chart to see the undertone and first find your level. So whatever level your hair is there’s specific undertones for each level then correct once you figure that out. I’m shooting a video tomorrow all about this so it will be coming out soon!

Great question would love to know
Love this so much! So helpful! Thank you!!!!
Thank you for your videos! Love them, very helpful
Clear also helps to let you develop the color for more than like 2 min. I use it so I can process 20min. I’ve realized if you leave the toner in for 2 min you basically get 2 washes before it fades, if you let it process 5 min, you get 5 washes, and 20 min as recommended you get like 4-6 weeks depending how often you wash your hair. Crystal clear is perfect for allowing shades EQ to process longer ❤️
I want to now more about to tone ash hilts please what formula do I have to mix thank you Daniella
Hey! I really love 9NA for ash highlights. Its just enough of a cool ash tone but not green. If you want even more of a punch add a small amount of 9t
@@DaniellaBenita thank you so much my dear
Thank you! I’ve learned so much from you! You’re amazing!!!
thank you!!!!
This was so helpful- thank you!!!! 💕
What permanent color do you use? I am thinking of using Redken color gels. Just want to know if you've used it, and what you're thoughts were on it. Thank you for the very informative video. Teach us more!
I love Redken color gels! They just reformulated and are really good. The grey coverage isn’t 100% so for that I use Redken cover fusion with 20 volume and grey drops!
@@DaniellaBenita Please do a video on root touch up with Redken Fusion. Much thanks
Hi Daniella - I'm trying to cover grays - not many. I've been using 08N Mojave and sometimes use 06N Moroccan Sand. I do the mixture as you mentioned .5oz color + .5oz clear + 1oz processing solution. There are still there are some stubborn grays. I didn't want to use the permanent color. What do you recommend?
Skittlesflavor1 hey! If you don’t want to use permanent I always full highlight my clients so that the blonde blends with the greys. Or if you want to use redken gels they are permanent but don’t leave a super harsh line. You’ll have to apply them with 20 volume on the root to cover the greys and leave it on for 30 min to process. They also have the same shades you’re using in gels! Hope this helps ❤️
Thank you Daniella! What if the client doesn't want any highlights and is strictly straight 08N? No blonde. Can I let the 08N/EQShades process longer for the stubborn grays or is there some kind of pre-prep of the hair I can do to make the greys want to take the deposit better? Or will the gels be the only way? I'm definitely going to look into the gels!! You're the best. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
One other question... I'm looking at the gels. The colors say 08NA and 06NA however Cafe Au Lait says 09N (just like the liquid). What does the "A" mean on the gels?
A is ash and you could try to use 20 volume with shades eq but I've never done it. It might open the hair cuticle and accept it more but I can't guarantee what it will do! If it was me I would go with color gels so you know it works but doesn't hurt to experiment!
Daniella Benita

Harold Pleitez you’re welcome! More to come!!! ❤️😘😘
Thanks so much. Gonna colour my hair at home, this helped a lot! Currently have 6/7 virgin hair, badly grown out. Highlights very faded. Was thinking: 20vol + 8n base colour. Then if it pulls warm, which it might, maybe 9nb to get a sandy beige. 🇨🇮
Great video!! A lot of info i needed!😍🙌🏼 thanks!!!
Irsi Montero welcome! 😘😘😘
Excellent job
I love your channel I have learnt so much from you. I am from the UK and I can’t find a Redken colour course anywhere so I rely on you to help me lol! I have gone from qualifying with Loreal colour system but wanted so much to change to Redken the only place to learn was here and you have explained and helped me understand how to use these colours thank you and keep making great such content! Xxx
This is so helpful I get so confused with this line thank you so much girlfriend!
Such an awesome video and thank you!
Thank you! 😘❤️❤️❤️
You make this so much easier Daniella! ❤What are your favourite natural ginger/redhead formulas?
Brooke Davey thank you love!!! I always mix a natural with a copper base so if you are a level 6 I’ll use 6N + 7C equal parts all over. But definitely depends on the level of your hair. ❤️
Amazing video, so informative!
Hi Daniella: Thanks for the explanation on this, I used a ash toner once on my hair and it was terrible result, so im thinking of the 9nb or the one above it you mentioned. Your easy to understand thanks. Deb
Thank you. Would you put a red base on gray hair before dyeing it brown. Like one would do with a blond color going dark. Excellent informative video. Subscribed
Love love your videos! Super easy to understand! Thank you for making these videos! Please don’t stop 🥰🥰🥰
hello Daniella. i am new to your channel today and i love it!!! redken. is my go to
Hey Daniella,
I gave myself an all over bleach and ended up at a level 9. It’s obviously a tad yellow and my end goal is to be at a 10-11 with cooler ashy tones with my roots darker for regrowth. I want to make it look as natural as possible. Normally I would go to a salon to do something like this, but I really love challenging myself and I find hair colouring so fun. If you got to the end of this comment, what would you recommend I do next? Should I do a second round of lightening with a 10-20 volume and then tone or just tone? Also, what toner combo would you recommend?
