TECHNICAL INFORMATION
PRE-SERVICE BEST PRACTICES
STRAND TEST
Haircolor may be readily accepted by porous hair that has been chemically treated or damaged from environmental
exposure or heat styling. Always conduct a preliminary strand test to determine how the hair will accept color.
Apply the formula to a small section of hair and process according to instructions; adjust the formula accordingly.

COLOR WHEEL YELLOW

Every tone and color relationship is defined within the

Color Wheel. Colors that are opposite of one another
BEFORE YOU BEGIN ANY CHEMICAL SERVICE... counteract warmth and result in neutralization.
ORANGE GREEN
• Precisely follow package instructions for haircolor, lightener and texture products
• Wear suitable gloves for all applications
• Perform necessary allergy tests as outlined in the directions
LEVEL SYSTEMS
The Traditional Level System offers more increments of color at
• Utilize protective smocks or capes for you and your clients during the service darker levels.
RED BLUE
The American Level System offers more increments of lighter brown
shades between levels 2 and 6, allowing for more color formulation at
SKIN ALLERGY TEST levels 3, 4 and 5.
PERFORM A SKIN ALLERGY TEST 48 HOURS BEFORE EACH USE OF THIS PRODUCT, Keep in mind that no level system is universal. The principles,

WORKING WITH UNDERTONES

Undertones are the unrefined warm tones exposed during the lifting process. Always consider the exposed
undertones visible at the target level. To counteract undertones, use the Color Wheel to select a shade level
with tonal value opposite to the undertone exposed at the target level. Remember, opposites neutralize. To
enhance undertones, select a shade with a tonal value similar to the undertone exposed at the target level.

BACKGROUND COLOR AND TONE

Background is the portion of the color base that helps produce balanced, natural-looking results and gives
the shade its foundation. Tone is the portion of the base that gives a shade its unique character.

FORMULATION GUIDELINES
1. Determine your client’s natural haircolor level. Remember to consider percentage of gray, hair
texture, condition and hair density.
2. Determine the target color (final level and tone) desired by your client.
3. Determine the undertone found at the target level (refer to Level System). This step does not apply
to Shades EQ Gloss and Shades EQ Cream.
4. Select the shade to enhance, balance or counteract undertones and achieve the target color.

Redken uses the term “Zones” to refer to different areas of the hair strand.
Understanding Zones will help you achieve pHenomenal, even color results every time!

ZONE 1: Regrowth or root area, approximately the first ½ inch of hair

ZONE 2: Mid-shaft area, begins where Zone 1 ends
ZONE 3: Overly porous hair that extends past the shoulders (not all hair has a Zone 3)

4. Use a timer for accurate timing. Do not over- or under-process. REFRESH ZONES 2 AND 3
When lifting or lightening natural hair, the scalp area will always be warmer/brighter; and the mid-shaft
and ends will appear darker and drabber. To ensure even color from scalp to ends, create formulas with
the appropriate family shades. RECOMMENDED SHADES EQ REFRESH FOR ALL PERMANENT HAIRCOLOR
While using permanent haircolor on the regrowth (Zone 1), apply Shades EQ Cream or Gloss to
Zone 2 and process at room temperature for up to 20 minutes. If Zone 3 is present, dilute formula

MIXING & PROCESSING
1. Mix Color Camo with 10 volume Pro-oxide Cream Developer in a 1:1 ratio in an applicator bottle.
Once mixed, product must be applied immediately to hair.
2. Start in the area where hair is the grayest—for most men it’s the temple area, top or hairline.
Do not overlap with hair that has been previously colored.
3. For an all-over application, an applicator bottle is recommended for speed. For a targeted
application, a comb is recommended. Apply to dry or towel-dried hair at the shampoo bowl.
Featuring advanced technology, Color Camo camouflages gray hair in 5 minutes.
Take ¼" or ½" partings and quickly apply the color—2 to 3 minutes is all you need! Avoid the skin

COLOR CAMO FACTS AND FEATURES:

dark (levels 1–3) dark ash
• 5 minute processing time for gray blending*
• 10 minute processing time with dark shades**

SHADE SELECTION • Ammonia-free, permanent dye technology with demi-permanent results

• Gel-like viscosity adheres to coarse gray hair without dripping
• Determine your client’s natural level range: light (levels 7 and higher), medium (levels 4–6)
or dark (levels 1–3). • Darker color of formula increases visibility to ease application
• Select a shade in the same range as his natural color. • Fragrance is discrete for more pleasant application
• Pick the tone you want to see: Ash = smoky; Natural = cool gold. • Use with Redken’s 10 volume Pro-oxide Cream Developer to provide easier and
more efficient inventory management
NOTE: Color Camo does not cover gray hair completely. It is formulated to “camouflage” gray hair
and blend it in with natural pigmented hair. For best results, Redken recommends Color Camo for men • Quinoa oil and protein enriched formula helps strengthen hair and add healthy shine
who have 50% gray or less. • Gray is camouflaged, naturally blended and gradually fades without unnatural gold
or red tones

*Light and Medium shades process for 10 minutes only if you want a
deeper, darker result or when using the dark shades
**Dark shades process in 10 minutes only due to concentration of dyes
***Always use Color Camo with 10 volume Pro-oxide Cream Developer
