You might have heard about Hair Toners, or even had a Toner in your hair before and not really understood why. It is a really useful step when colouring hair whether to achieve the perfect blonde shade, colour correct or intensify your colour.
It is not always needed in the colouring process. This is all down to each individual’s hair, previous colours used and hair condition. When it is needed, it takes the colour from good to gorgeous.
Toner is a type of semi-permanent hair colour. It is gentler than permanent hair dye and can be used after colour, as well as in between colours or highlights to add vibrancy.
It is also important that your hair is healthy before applying toner, an experienced stylist will be able to advise on this for you.
Toner, like hair colour, is used on the hair for a very specific time to ensure there is no overprocessing. Therefore your stylist will ensure the correct developing time is followed, whether you are waiting at the basin or in the stylist’s chair.
After applying Toner, it is important to use conditioning treatments to restore moisture and strengthen the hair when necessary.
Ask your stylist at your next appointment if a Hair Toner would look great on your hair.
