The tone of your hair, especially if you color it, can make a big difference in the overall color/look you are going for. You can tone your hair to be more cool or warm and your color will look immensely different! As a blonde, I have to specifically ask my stylist to tone the highlights that she gives me to achieve the right color of blonde that I want. Just getting bleach put on is not enough! I have some examples to show you because I think this is an important concept to understand if you are not happy with the way your hair is turning out.
I am going to use pictures of blonde hair to make this point today but the idea still applies to other hair colors as well.
WARM Blonde Hair:
If you want a more "yellow", "buttery" blonde look then ask for a warm toner.
COOL Blonde Hair:
To get a more "white", "ashy" blonde, you want a cool toner (it should be purple in color) AND you will want to purchase purple shampoo and use it with your regular shampoo.
BRASSY Blonde Hair:
Brassy hair is what happens when your blonde color gets old and starts to turn "orange" because of sun exposure and time being un-treated. If your hair is looking brassy, putting on a toner and letting it sit for a couple minutes will lift it right out and give you back your beautiful color.
I hope this clears up any confusion. As you can see, putting a toner on your color can make a big difference! If you are unhappy with the way your hair is turning out, ask your stylist to use a toner to change it up for either a warmer or cooler look. Your stylist probably is doing a fine job with your color, you just need the correct toner.
