🎨 What Is Toner and Why Is It Important?

Toner is a semi-permanent hair color treatment that adjusts or neutralizes unwanted tones in your balayage. Over time, balayage highlights can develop brassiness (warm or orange tones) or fade in vibrancy, especially with sun exposure, heat styling, and washing.

Toners help to:

• Neutralize brassiness or yellow hues

• Enhance cool or ash tones

• Boost shine and vibrancy

• Refresh color without lightening or damaging hair

🧴 How to Use Toners at Home

• Use purple or blue shampoo once or twice a week to keep brassiness at bay. Avoid daily use to prevent over-toning.

• Follow with a moisturizing conditioner to maintain softness.

• Schedule regular gloss or toner treatments at your salon every 6–8 weeks for best results.

• Protect your hair from UV rays and heat styling by using heat protectants and UV sprays.
