What are toners?
Toners can help eliminate brassy tones and achieve the desired cool or ashy blonde shade. They work by canceling out complementary pigments based on color theory.
Using violet toners
Violet toners are great for correcting yellow hair. Hairdressers often add them to backwash and bleach mixtures. John Frieda Clean Blonde Toning Shampoo is a top-rated drugstore buy that instantly deposits violet pigments into blonde locks to neutralize yellow tones.
Benefits of the shampoo
The shampoo has a peroxide-free formula that won’t cause abrasions or compromise shine. It is suitable for daily use and contains ingredients like shea butter, argan oil, and jojoba oil for hydration and shine boost. It removes impurities, builds radiance, and protects against color fade with an included UV filter.
Choosing between ammonia-free and ammonia-based toners
Toners can neutralize yellow and orange pigmentation in hair. Ammonia-based toners provide more excellent lift by penetrating hair cuticles to “re-color” with lighter tones. Non-ammonia toners are as effective for refreshing highlights and maintaining a blonde color between salon appointments.
Homemade toner recipe
An effective homemade toner can be made using apple cider vinegar and hollyhock flower. Start by creating a tea with the flower, strain out any solid matter, and transfer it into an applicator bottle. Apply a small amount to the hair, leave it on for 30 minutes, rinse out, and repeat if necessary.
