That is what a great Colorist strives for.<br />But, if you are too afraid to make that your goal and want to have a toner on hand I would recommend EITHER............<br />-- Matrix Color Sync in SPV & SPA..stand for <br />SHEER PASTEL VIOLET & Sheer Pastel Ash...mix equal parts of each toner. Lets say you need a total of 2oz. Hair color then you would use 1/2 oz. of SPV and 1/2 oz. of SPA...mix well first then add 10 Volume Developer in the ratio 1:2. So if you have a total of 1 oz. Color - how much developer would you add?<br />..<br />...<br />.... 2oz.! Mix well and apply according to my color application Post<br />OR<br /><br />Wella Color Touch in:<br />9/16 ......+ 13Volume Developer..........this is also 1:2<br /><br />Hope this helps<br /><br />KCKCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-91656902230221373602016-09-01T17:02:15.772-07:002016-09-01T17:02:15.772-07:00Hi, I'm a medium brunette who wants to go plat...Hi, I'm a medium brunette who wants to go platinum blonde. I want to be very light, but with a hint of warmth (ie a light neutral platiunum blonde (ie not gold but also not too ashy/silvery). I know my hair has alot of warm tones, so I'm curious what shade of toner you would recommend to counter the yellow/gold after lightening my hair?

I was there from 12:15 until 8pm and all that time she damn girl that was supposed to just lift the left side of my hair (dark brown to match the right (already blonde) side ruined my hair. She tried to lift the hair, maybe didnt leave it on long enough and then used a toner. I was copper! Then she tried to tone that horrible color and it was dingy brown, ridiculous! Mind you my right side was a perfect ombre (dark brown to blonde) now after all that time it looks like a canary or butter. Hate it and attending a wedding in 2 days! Please help, is there any toner i can use to get the yellow, gold out?

I'm naturally dark blonde at 33 years. I have hair that is fine but abundant. You saved my hair! I looked like the epitome of trailer trash Barbie, the toning techniques you provided gave me the the bomb-est platnium. Literally as soon as I did my hair, I went to the supermarket and some man SLAMMED on his brakes to stare at me walking into the store. I am loving this blog, you said it KC- the stylist just wants you in the chair then it's a crap shoot. I have to walk around and live with my wig tho- that's the difference. You are like the biggest PSA around. Make your accountant get you tax exempt status or something.

I understand that to achieve a perfectly neutral shade of platinum blonde a violet toner must be used to cancel out the yellow left when hair is lightened to a pale yellow stage. To my understanding then would a blue based toner cancel the yellow and add another tone of coolness to the color? Is this how high lift "ash" blondes are created? I went platinum last year using clairol 323d extra light platinum toner, but I think my hair was not all the way to the pale yellow stage in all areas because some of my hair was not completely white. What toner would you recommend to achieve perfectly snow-white hair? Or is the pre-lightening more important than the brand or shade of toner you use? <br />Thank you so much for your infinitely educational blog <3<br />-AndrewAndrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265518987471211827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-25558477439612472792010-01-14T12:24:39.799-08:002010-01-14T12:24:39.799-08:00I sent you a request for HHC, but no response and ...I sent you a request for HHC, but no response and it's been at least a month ???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-81687100170399534342009-04-21T01:26:00.000-07:002009-04-21T01:26:00.000-07:00Rosalia,

I have been doing my own hair for years (high-lighting), but just recently started tinting all over. I'm doing okay I think, with Tressa 12A (I am a natural 5 or 6), but sometimes I think I still have a little gold at the roots, I would rather it be a bit "cooler". Should I try a toner (just at the roots - oh, and would it damage my hair more to use the toner because of the added peroxide - [the toners I look at say 20 vol]? I use a 40 volume with the 12A). So many questions, sorry!
