Why choose Redken Shades EQ Nº 06 Violet

This tint is designed to enhance cool undertones and neutralize unwanted warmth, giving blondes, highlights, and lightened hair a sophisticated violet glow.

Key benefits

• Deposit-only formula adds color without altering the base level, preserving your hair’s structure.
• Ammonia-free and low-odor formula for comfortable, scalp-friendly use.
• Cream colourant for precise, even application and better control on shorter and longer lengths.
• Violet shade Nº 06 delivers a cool, vibrant hue that complements cool-toned or bleached hair.
• 60 ml bottle provides ample coverage for a full head or multiple sessions.

How to use

Apply to clean, towel-dried hair. Section hair for even distribution, then apply the tint from roots to ends with a brush or gloved hands. Process for 5–20 minutes depending on your desired depth and hair porosity. Rinse thoroughly with cool water until it runs clear, then style as usual. No developer is required, making this a straightforward way to refresh or tone between salon visits.

Who is this ideal for?

Perfect for blondes, bleached or highlighted hair seeking a cool violet toning, or anyone wanting to refresh a violet shade between color sessions. It’s also a smart choice for adding a fashion-forward accent to mid-length to long hair without committing to a permanent dye.

What makes it stand out

Compared with more permanent color systems, Shades EQ Nº 06 Violet focuses on color maintenance and shine with a conditioning-rich formula. The ammonia-free composition minimizes irritation and odor, while the pigment chemistry delivers predictable, fade-friendly results that improve with each application rather than becoming oversaturated. It’s a reliable option for professionals who want a consistent violet deposit that respects hair health and delivers salon-grade brilliance in between appointments.

Practical tips and insights

• For a deeper violet result on pale blondes, consider preprocessing the hair to a light yellow stage before application.
• As the color fades, you’ll notice the violet softens rather than shifting to green or orange—perfect for maintaining a cool, elegant tone.
• Use a color-safe or UV-protective shampoo to extend vibrancy between treatments.
• Always perform a patch test 48 hours prior to use to ensure there’s no sensitivity.
