Everyone will have to decide to cover or blend their grays sooner or later. However, gray coverage is not just about the loss of pigmentation, and gray hair can also start to feel dry and wiry because there are fewer natural oils present to hydrate the hair. Finding a solution, Redken developed Color Gels Oils — an ammonia-free permanent hair dye to cover greys and rejuvenate them with shine and condition.

Whether you’re new to liquid color, have plenty of experience with Redken Color Gels  Lacquers 10 Minute or Color Gels Lacquers, or are tried and true fans of Redken Chromatics — we're detailing everything you should know about new Redken Color Gels Oils!
