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). The only thing hair toner can’t do is lighten your hair. “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. Toners aren’t just for blondes-any hair color can benefit from a toner. Pick the corresponding toner for your hair colorĪnd yep, you heard that right. However, if you are a brunette and you begin to see those orange and “brassy” tones peeking through, opt for a blue shampoo toner. So, i f you went from brunette to blonde, a purple shampoo toner would be your best bet to counteract those yellow tones you often see with color-treated blonde hair.

How to choose the best hair toner Find your hair color on the color wheelĬaster says when choosing a hair toner, you should consider the color wheel, explaining that purple neutralizes yellow and blue neutralizes orange. Prepare to trick your friends into thinking you went to the salon. Nope, I handpicked the 18 best hair toners on the market right now (including a couple of O’Connor’s favorites) and am telling you exactly how to use them. Purple and blue shampoos are arguably the most popular hair toners since they’re (a) easy to apply and (b) pretty foolproof (no mixing or measuring required-just a quick lather and rinse), but you also have options like glosses (temporary dyes that amp up your color’s vibrancy and shine), deep conditioners spiked with pigments, and hair masks that help deepen your color.ĭW, though, I’m not going to leave you to figure it out on your own. 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.
“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. 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. However, a toning shampoo differs from an actual toner, but they work in relatively the same way. And if that sounds a little general, welp, that’s because it is-hair toner is basically an umbrella term for any pigment-spiked product that cools, tones, and enhances shine. “Hair toner is any semi- or demi-permanent hair color that helps enhance the tone of your hair,” says hairstylist Meri Kate O’Connor, colorist at Cooper West Hollywood.
