Shades EQ's Acidic PH Formula
The acidic pH of Shades EQ is a conditioning formula for cuticle sealing, healthy-looking and feeling hair.
Many things can alter the pH of hair, including a lightening session. Shades EQ brings hair back into its natural acidic state, helping to avoid frizz, dryness, and damage.
No matter the hair type, color, texture, or history, the acidic, liquid demi-permanent formula of Shades EQ is for any client. And Shades EQ Bonder Inside's formula has a built-in bonder* to help tone and repair hair in one step.
*Bonding benefits apply exclusively to Bonder Inside Shades. Not applicable to Gloss varients.
