FAQs

1. What exactly is the 30-Volume PRO-OXIDE Developer and when should stylists use it?
This is a professional-grade cream developer from Redken designed for use with Redken’s colour systems (such as Colour Fusion, Colour Gels Lacquers, SEQ Cover Plus) and lightening services.
It’s best used when the service requires moderate lift — for example, up to approximately 3 levels of lift — or when you’re combining deposit and lightening in one step.

2. What key benefits should stylists highlight to their salon clients?

• Creamy consistency ensures the mixture is easy to handle, mix and apply, reducing spillage or run-off.

• Predictable performance across a variety of hair types and services — helps stylists confidently deliver results.

• Enables stylists to “step up” from a standard 20-volume developer when more lift or more deposit power is required, without jumping directly to the highest levels.

3. How should stylists apply it in the salon (and what should clients be told for home-care)?

• Mix the developer with the correct Redken colour or lightener formula at the recommended ratio (often 1:1 for many Redken lines). 

• Apply to prepared hair (assess base level, previous processing, hair condition), ensure full saturation, process at room temperature for the brand’s specified time. For 30-Volume, many sources state processing around 35-45 minutes.

• After processing, rinse and follow with the appropriate post-colour care (colour-safe shampoo/conditioner). For clients: emphasise maintaining hair health post-service, peace of mind about colour longevity and finish.

• For take-home: remind clients that using the correct developer and service protocol impacts colour quality and durability — important to the “premium salon” narrative.

4. Will this developer weigh hair down, affect texture, or interfere with styling?
No — when used properly, the developer itself is a service component and doesn’t by itself add weight or texture change; the final feel depends more on the colour formula and after-care. Its creamy consistency is designed for application ease, not finish-altering. That said, stylists should still evaluate hair condition: over-processing, incorrect ratio or leaving a product on too long can impact texture.

5. What makes this developer stand out compared with generic or non-professional developers?

• It is specifically built for Redken’s professional colour systems, meaning the mix, processing and performance are engineered for synergy — using another developer could lead to unpredictable results.

• The 30-volume option provides a middle ground between lighter deposit services and high-lift services — allowing salons more flexibility in their service menu without sacrificing control.

• For your distributor-to-salon Shopify context: this is a “service essential” item — not just a colour product, but a supporting tool that helps deliver premium results and supports the professional narrative.
