Have you ever wondered what a toner actually is, and why you should use one? 

A toner is a product used to neutralise brassy yellow or orange tones on bleached or coloured hair. Toners change the tone of the hair to more natural beige, caramel, platinum or ash tones. This gives the hair a much shinier, glossier and more natural look. 

Technically a toner is a colour used only to change the tone of the hair, not the depth or lightness. Toners can’t lighten your hair, so you’ll still need to make your regular colour appointments if you wish to go lighter.

Toners do fade over time. Washing your hair with a salon shampoo specifically recommended to you by your stylist is essential to get the best and most wear out of your toner. If you don’t get your blonde done regularly, you might consider getting a toner top-up halfway between your colour appointments. It’s a great way to refresh your colour and keep your hair looking shiny and healthy.

You can play around with toners and try different shades, from warm to cool blondes. Toners are also a fun way to experiment with colours such as pink, rose gold and purple. These colours will eventually wash out back to blonde.

Be sure to ask the expert stylists at Udara about the right toner for you at your next appointment. Whether you want to neutralise a brassy blonde, or experiment with a new fairy-floss pink tone for Spring, we are here to help you find the perfect toner to suit your individual hair needs.
