Hair Toning Service: What is Hair Toner?
The Secret to Perfect Colour
Hair toner is used to refine, enhance, or neutralise unwanted undertones after lightening or colouring your hair. Yellow and brassy pigments can peak through the bleached hair and steer your hair colour from salon fresh to appearing like you need a top-up. Toner can help here! With regular toner treatments, you can maintain your personalised colour for longer.
Whether you’re going platinum blonde, maintaining your balayage, or experimenting with pastels, toner ensures your shade looks polished and combats discolouration.
Toner benefits your hair beyond the colour, though! Treating your hair after colouring it is important, and toner can help with this too, reducing split ends and enhancing softness and hydration.
Why is Toner Important?
Enhances colour vibrancy: if your highlighted hair is appealing brassy or not quite maintaining the colour, hair toner can bring the colour back to life. Toner can also help you achieve a natural blonde colour after bleaching.
Adds shine: Most toners act like conditioners to smooth the hair and improve its overall appearance. While bleach can be damaging to your hair, toner will help to nourish your hair afterwards.
Customises your hair: Whether you want a cool icy blonde, a warm honey tone, toner tunes the colour to your style and can help complement the colour to your complexion.
When Do You Use Hair Toner?
Hair toner should be used whenever you bleach your hair to neutralise any undertones you want to remove. Every 4 to 6 weeks, toner can be applied, but it also depends on the frequency you wash your hair, your hair type and the products you use in your routines. Using sulfate-free shampoo, cooler water, and professional colour-safe products can help your toner last longer. Booking in with Caprio’s for a hair toning service would benefit your hair but it can also be done at home with our recommended products.
Is toner only for blondes?
No! Brunettes and redheads can use hair toner, too. Blondes can benefit more visibly from brightening up their hair, but brunettes can dull down orange tones, or redheads can brighten their auburn tones to achieve the desired colour.
Tips for Maintaining Your Toned Hair
Whether you are toning your own hair or require a hair toning service, Caprio’s advice the following tips for prolonging your bright hair colours…
Choose Sulphate-Free Shampoo – Gentle, sulphate-free formulas protect colour-treated hair and prevent your toner from fading too quickly. Ask your stylist for the best recommendations.
Limit Heat Styling – Excessive heat can weaken the hair cuticle and cause colour to fade. If you use hot tools, opt for adjustable heat settings and always use a heat protectant.
Protect from Sunlight – UV rays can lighten hair and bring out brassiness. Use products with UV protection and avoid long periods in direct sunlight to keep your colour looking fresh.
