Have you ever wanted to cleanse your hair and banish any ugly brassy color? Most often women who use toner to hair use it because their hair has already been through the wringer with chemical coloring and bleaching.

Hair toner is a product that will neutralize your hair color, ridding it of any weird pigmentation that might have resulted from too much coloring.

It also helps prepare your hair for any future coloring, whether you want to go light or dark. Simply put, toning the hair is the best way to get a crisp clear color on your hair and you will definitely want to use it before you go for a new look that involves more coloring.

What is A Hair Toner?

Hair toner, which is a gel or glossy-looking liquid, is made of different chemicals that work together to control brassy color and maintain your desired color. It’s not for lightening hair, just for “warming” it up.

Toners are different than hair dyes. While you can go to a hairstylist to tone your hair – and that will probably happen if you go in for a professional dye job – you can also buy hair toner in stores or online. It is not typically used for hair that hasn’t been colored or bleached – both of these treatments usually require it for perfecting the tone.

On light hair, the toner will literally add a tone over it to protect it from discoloration. For dark hair, the toner will improve its shade. Overall, hair toner works by bringing out or muting shades in your hair and also adds shine. Something we can all use, right?

Types of Hair Toner

From demi-permanent to semi-permanent products like purple and blue hair toners, there is something for any girl looking to improve her hair’s shade.

For women who are no stranger to coloring their hair and do it every couple of months, a demi-permanent gloss is a good option. Not only can you use it at home on your own time without leaving the house, but it will do wonders for your dye job as far as keeping it vibrant and healthy.
