For when their tone needs a top-up, the Color Fresh Mask is here to help. The Golden Gloss and Caramel Glaze formulas are perfect for lending a subtle tint that refreshes their salon color. Recommend they use it once per week, in place of their usual conditioner. All they have to do is apply it to clean, damp hair, distribute with a wide-toothed comb, then leave to develop for 10 minutes. 3. Mist On a Heat Protection Spray Before Styling Rather than completely changing your hair colour, toner is more about the, well, tone. This can be anything from adding a subtle colourful shade to hair – like peach or red – or making your balayage-d ends appear more vivid. L’Oréal Professional Steampod 4, which is 80% less damaging* - perfect for bleached hair. * Measured as breakage from repeated combing after 15 uses on bleached hair. SteamPod 4 versus Babyliss Ceramic Straight 230. For freehand highlights, such as balayage: Opt for Blondor Freelights. It’s formulated with activated polymers that link with each other to form a flexible and adhesive network. In short: this means it doesn’t bleed or smudge during open-air development. 2. Tone with Soft Toffee Hues

Toning dark hair requires more than one sitting as the hair pigments will not provide an immediate lighter shade in the first attempt. Apply to towel-dried hair that has already been previously bleached or lightened (8/10 tone depth). If your hair is fragile and has not fully recovered from the last session, wait for 7-8 weeks before toning again. But if your hair is in better shape, you can tone it every 4-6 weeks. If you want a lighter shade or a multi-layered effect, you can use a toner. Also, if you need to change just a part of your highlighted hair (like faded blondish yellow), you will need to choose a purple ash toner to get a neutralized ashier color.Warmer tones include buttermilk, peachy, or vanilla hues. Cooler tones include silver, champagne and marshmallow. Pastel hair, with shades of pink, lilac, and rose gold can also be achieved through our French Balayage Pearls service. Toners can be used directly after a pre lightening service or as a top up to keep your colour looking fresh and polished between lightening services. What are the types of hair toner? Leave in hair for 5-25 minutes at room temperature, ensuring hair is kept away from any external sources of heat. Both serve different purposes. A hair dye colors your hair. It may contain bleaching agents to lighten and color your hair. A toner neutralizes brassy hues on colored hair and keeps dyed hair vibrant and fresh. It cannot color your hair. For white, grey or light blonde hair, Silver Shampoo has a deep purple pigment to counteract unwanted brassy tones and keep your shade cool. Is a toner only for blondes? Some items can’t be returned e.g. earrings, items where a hygiene strip or seal has been removed (like swim wear and underwear). They also include goods with a seal for health protection and hygiene reasons that's been broken. This doesn’t affect your statutory rights.

Chroma Creme is a great treatment for blonde hair at home, as it spreads varying amounts of purple pigment throughout hair to revive it. Plus, it is gentle on the hair and scalp so can be used safely after hair has been pre lightened. When washing with this purple shampoo, the hair cuticles takes in a small amount of purple pigment, cancelling out yellow pigments. A hair toner’s effects last between 2-5 weeks, depending on your hair texture and hair health. The toner’s effects last longer if you practice a healthy hair care routine. Virgin hair tends to hold toner for longer than already bleached or chemically-treated hair. In French, balayage means ‘to sweep’ and that’s exactly what you need to do. For this tech-nique, you’re gliding and stroking hair lightener through the mid-lengths and ends to add a candlelit glow. It’s easy to see why it’s so popular; not only is this grown-out look ultra low-maintenance, but it’s also entirely bespoke. No two balayage techniques will ever be the same.A professional term for bleach is pre-lightener. This refers to how bleaching is a method used to lighten hair. When bleached, natural or coloured hair is lifted to the lightness you require. Depending on your hairs natural colour and your history with past colours and chemical services, the level of lightness that is achievable will vary. This process can leave you with a creamy sun-kissed or pale white result. Remember when I said hair toner was an umbrella term for brass neutralizers? Yeah, that means you have a lot of options re: finding the right formula. Besides the sun, frequent use of heating tools can also contribute for your colour to fade. Don’t forget to use a heat-protectant like Metal Detox Concentrated Oil whenever you use heat. Formulated with Glicoamine to help prevent hair breakage, add shine, and protect hair from unwanted metals. It also offers heat protection of up to 230°C.
