Scott Cornwall Colour Restore Toner, Cool Ash 100 ml

Product Information

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. Colorists know this, and that’s why your hair always looks slow-motion-hair-commercial-worthy after a salon session. Professionals use a toner to brighten and balance your specific blonde hue, and you should too. Toners are particularly useful for counteracting brassiness—unwanted orangey, red, and yellow shades that can make your blonde look dingy—as well as adding mirror-like shine. Toners aren't just about color-correcting though; they're also a great opportunity to treat your hair with nourishing vitamins like panthenol and shine-enhancing botanical oils. 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.

Yes. You can mix two toners to attain the desired color and eliminate orange or yellow tones from your bleached or colored hair. Hairdressers, stylists, and colorists always do this to achieve an exact color shade. But it is advised to do a patch test to ensure that those toners will give you the desired result.

Once you’ve reached the sweetest, smoothest toffee brown color, it’s down to your client to maintain the shade at home, until their next salon appointment. Pass on these color care tips to ensure their hue stays fresher for longer… 1. Use a Color-Kind Shampoo and Conditioner However, if you’re experiencing brassiness all over, she suggests applying the product to dry hair where needed, leaving it on for as long as needed to set in, and then shampooing it out with water. 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? 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.

3. Caramel Brunette Balayage

Salon-level toners should usually be left to the professionals because if done wrong, the hair can end up over toned and damaged, explains hair colorist Timothy Caster, colorist and hairdresser at Timothy Gabriel Salon. “That’s when people opt for purple shampoo that doesn’t really color the hair but leaves enough ‘stain’ on the outside to reduce some yellow tones,” he says. How to use hair toner at home Once your client has got their caramel blonde mane in place, they’ll want to make it last. That’s why it’s vital you provide them with the full lowdown on how to care for colored hair. Toners adjust the highlighters by depositing pigments onto the surface. Though they do not upgrade the color, they make the highlighter align with the natural hair color. For highlights, ombre or balayage in foils ( foilyage): Use BlondorPlex, which we’ve infused with the Plex ingredient from the WellaPlex range, so your client gets a strengthening boost as their hair is lifted to the perfect shade. 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.

For easy, breezy balayage, try applying Blondor Freelights, which is uniquely designed to help freehand highlights stay exactly where you sweep them on. For a foilyage – meaning a balayage in foils – you could also try BlondorPlex, which is infused with the hair-strengthening WellaPlex No1 Bond Maker. 3.

By making it warmer or cooler in tone, and correcting unwanted shades. It is also possible to add a bright pop of fashion colour, without actually lifting the shade. In addition, it enables the hairstylist to make sure you get an even hair colour result from root to tip.

In fact, a toner is a way to make your hair colour your own. Toners can be used all over the hair or in certain places to create different effects within the hair for an even more personalised result. Mix the desired Eslabondexx Hair Toner shade with Eslabondexx Smooth Catalyst 5 Vol. Bleaching Cream at a 1:2 ratio. Mix well until a smooth, creamy consistency is achieved. 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 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 After hair has lifted to the correct underlying tone, apply a toner (or two) for a touch of toffee goodness. What you want is a warm, golden brown for the base, and a light toffee brown or blonde for the highlights. Some of our go-to toffee tones include Koleston Perfect 8/03 and 9/3, Color Touch 8/35 and 8/73, and Illumina Color 8/37. You could also give your client a zero damage, zero lift Shinefinity Glaze with 06/73 or 05/37 for a high-shine, translucent finish. 3. Wash, Style and Glow, Glow Glow And yep, you heard that right. Toners aren’t just for blondes—any hair color can benefit from a toner. “I’m a dark brunette and my hair goes red in the sun, so I tend to tone my hair a cooler shade to help counteract those warm tones,” says O’Connor. The only thing hair toner can’t do is lighten your hair. Toner doesn’t have any bleach—a nonnegotiable for lightening your hair—so it’s best for bringing your color dow n (like, say, going from warm and brassy to cool and ashy).
