Adrian Walsh –
I’ve used Redken Shades ALK on my grey hair and it covers 75% grey perfectly. The hair feels softer and shinier after just one application. No ammonia smell, which is a big plus. The colour stays vibrant for about 8 weeks, and I love the glossy finish.
Molly Avery –
As a colourist, I appreciate the balance between colour intensity and hair health. The 14% Hydro-Magnetic Complex really makes a difference—my clients notice more shine and less dryness after using it.
Ava Bond –
The coverage is excellent, especially on fine hair with mixed grey. It doesn’t feel heavy or damaging. I did notice a slight lift, which is expected, but the result is natural-looking and long-lasting.
Ian Glover –
I tried it on my mid-lengths and the colour blends beautifully. The hair feels hydrated and looks healthier than before. It’s a great option for those who want a semi-permanent colour with conditioning benefits.

The formula is easy to apply and dries quickly. I’m happy with the true-to-tone result and the shine it adds. It’s a reliable product for maintaining colour without over-processing the hair.
