Shades ALK is Redken's liquid-cream alkaline demi-permanent, made without ammonia, for deposit with up to one level of lift. It mixes 1:1.5 with Pro-Oxide Cream Developer 10 volume only, for example 1 oz color with 1.5 oz developer, and processes 20 minutes at room temperature with no heat. The N, NA, NCh, NB and GI families cover up to 75% gray, and the other families up to 50%. Codes print without a leading zero (9V, 10T, 1NA), and the chart groups shades by light, medium and dark levels and by black to gray, brown to tan or no background. Crystal Clear dilutes intensity.
