FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COLOR AND COVER FUSION?
While both Color and Cover Fusion are professional permanent hair color lines from Redken, they are designed for different client needs—specifically regarding gray coverage and versatility.
- Color Fusion (Versatile Color): This line is designed for clients who want to lighten, darken, or match their natural hair color, as well as those looking for vibrant, high-fashion results. It provides up to 75% gray coverage. It is ideal for clients with less than 50% gray or those who prefer more blended, natural-looking results.
- Cover Fusion (Gray Coverage): This line is specifically formulated for superior gray coverage in a single step, providing reflective results that look natural and dimensional. It provides up to 100% gray coverage. It is the go-to choice for clients with high percentages of gray hair who require full, opaque coverage.
WHAT IS THE MIXING RATIO FOR COLOR AND COVER FUSION?
The standard mixing ratio for Color Fusion is 1:1. This means you should mix equal parts of Color Fusion and Pro-Oxide Cream Developer (e.g., 2 oz. of color with 2 oz. of developer). However, there is an exception within the range - Color Fusion Extra Lift: This requires a 1:2 mixing ratio (1 part color to 2 parts developer).
The mixing ratio for Cover Fusion is 1:1. This means you should mix equal parts of Cover Fusion with developer (e.g., 2 oz. of color with 2 oz. of developer). Cover Fusion must be used specifically with the 20 Volume Pro-Oxide Cream Developer

Color, Condition and Shine that deserves a 'standing ovation' Redken ColorFusion gives the best coverage with translucent reflects that I have used yet. I love the rich, creamy consistency and intense color that really holds for up to 8 weeks with proper care, the conditioning is almost unbeatable (Chromatics) and the clarity of the color is second only to Color Gels - It is my personal favorite because it seems to give better gray coverage and translucency than Chromatics and better conditioning and longer lasting color than Color Gels.

Fushion color is one of the best permanent color brands in the business. It makes your hair look so shiny and rich after dying it it’s absolutely breathe taking. It has been a minute since I have dyed my hair but Redken will forever be my go to brand when it comes to permanent color.

I just colored my hair using this product . I like the color but i can see that some of my grays didn't pick up the product at all . Some strands are still grays and a lot of my grays want to peak through . I left it on for 45 minutes . I expected a lot more from this product.

My hair felt very healthy, still, after getting it colored. My stylist did it from her home salon and I didn’t feel any different quality than I would’ve in the salon itself. I’m always happy with reddens color and their selections

The shampoo was nice, but I hated the smell. I prefer something that gives me more damage treatment and leaves my hair smelling good and clean. Probably wouldn't recommend and will only use if I run out of other shampoo

My stylist uses this on me and I always fall in love with the color. I only wish their reds didn't wash off as fast. Not one of my favorite lines luckily my stylist doesn't use this line on me anymore.

It worked just fine and I didn't have any undesirable results. Smell is pleasant and not overpowering like many mainstream hair dye brands. I would buy from again.

This has been my go-to red for years and has been an easy, long-lasting, vivid color that doesn't require the upkeep my old box color always did.

Redken color is pretty decent. I prefer to go with more natural products like aveda though the color tends to last longer

As a cosmetologist we use this brand often, it works well with depositing the color and maintaining it as well
