Toner: Have you heard the word Toner in the salon?
What is it?
When do we use it?
How useful is it to the color effect we want for our hair?
In today’s article I will try to give you answers to these questions.
What is toner?
The toner is a multi-tool in the hands of the hairdresser.
It can freshen up a dye, but also give the final shade-reflex to hair with highlights.
It is also ideal to give the final result after balayage and painting.
It can even give shine and protection to the hair!
We will find it in the form of chrome emulsion as well as in a more gel-liquid form.
But let’s go through them one by one..
Colour refreshing
Initially, between two dyes, the toner manages to restore volume to red and copper hair,
that may have been faded by the sun and washes.
Indeed, it adds the missing pigments and makes the hair shiny and vibrant.
Ask your hairdresser when is the ideal time for your hair.
He knows exactly when to refresh the paint between two coats.
Final shade in highlights
The toner is a semi-permanent, ammonia-free, low-volume, low-acid dye that respects the hair and does not dry out natural hair.
From this we automatically understand that it is a great help, in case we want to tint highlights.
Without affecting natural hair, it adds the final shade, only to hair that is discolored.
Neutralizes unwanted shades, such as yellowing after discoloration and stabilizes the desired result.
In addition, we can get multi-dimensional and brilliant color results with excellent durability!
Shine and gloss
Indeed, the toner gives shine to the hair, since it creates a film that helps the hair scales to be more closed.
Thanks to this, the light is reflected and the hair is sexier than ever!
The duration is from 6-8 washes and always with color block shampoo.
To sum up, I personally have to admit that I love toners and I recommend them without a second thought.
It’s at the top of a colorist’s must have list!
Put them in your hair… and you’ll remember me!
