Redken Color Gels Review

So this is the main color line that I work with in the salon all the time so I do have a lot of experience with it. There are definitely some good and bad things about this color line and unfortunately the bad does out weigh the good quite a bit. 

So to start out with this line has a very hard time covering gray hair. Only a few of the shades will cover and leaves you with very little customization. And even though they say they cover gray hair,the majority  of the time they come out pretty transparent. The colors also seem to fade out quite quickly and never tend to be that true to swatch. Using this color line is very much so a trial and error process unfortunately. You'll have to try on every client a certain shade (because they all turn out completely different on everyone) and just kinda hope for the best I hate to say. 

Some good parts are some of the shades are quite beautiful as long as you're not covering grey hair. They're reds and coppers and very beautiful and most of their blondes are as well especially their cool blonde shades. 

All together I wouldn't recommend this color line very much so due to its unpredictability. But if you are doing a virgin hair application with very little to no grey hair then by all means use it! Just be careful with it!
