Featuring Redken’s the NEW Color Gels Lacquers NNs (Extreme Natural Family For Maximum Coverage), the Facebook Live shows viewers how to create shiny, balanced results with superior gray coverage at the root and dimension through the ends.

“Using the new Color Gels Lacquers NN shades, I am able to achieve ultimate gray coverage and shift the base, while hair painting at the same time for a rich, dimensional result. The new NNs are super rich, and the gray coverage is absolutely incredible which results in a natural looking finish!”

WHAT ARE THE NEW COLOR GELS LACQUERS NN SHADES?
The Color Gels Lacquers NN shades are an amazing addition to the Color Gels Lacquers line, providing an extra dose of black-to-tan background for up to 100% gray coverage on thick, coarse and other resistant hair types.

So how can you maximize these shades in salon? The new NN shades are perfect for clients with any percentage of extremely resistant grays or clients who have coarse hair types. The NN family is also an excellent choice for guests who prefer a cool, highly saturated look or gray-coverage clients looking for an extra boost of coverage.
