Q. What can I use to tone my blonde hair?

A . The best option is to choose toning products for blonde hair that are used after the bleaching process and/or to banish yellow and brassy tones. Choose a pigmented toning shampoo that suits your hair and desired blonde colour, followed by a toning conditioner or treatment mask, twice a week.

Q. Is purple shampoo the same as toner?

A. Any product that uses pigment to change hair tone can be described as a toner. Purple shampoo distributes purple or violet pigment throughout hair to neutralise brassy tones. Some purple shampoos are formulated to maintain blonde hues and others can be used as a toner after the bleaching process.

Q. How do hairdressers tone blonde hair?

A. To blonde hair, hairdressers take two steps. The first is bleaching the hair, which removes the natural pigment. Then, to achieve the desired blonde, they use a toning product. This can be permanent, semi-permanent or a shampoo/conditioner. It depends on the blonde hue desired and the client’s original hair colour.

Q. How do I choose the right toner for blonde hair?

A. This will depend on your original hair colour and the blonde hue you desire. Ask your hairdresser for advice and which product to use to maintain the desired blonde.
