toners: how to pick, mix & apply a hair color toner at home | 2024

how to make any hair color a toner at home.

*key points:
•toners cancel out unwanted tones (usually oranges, yellows & reds)
•toners are a separate hair color formulation (mostly done right after lightening)
•toners typically only change tones, not levels (lightness or darkness)
•toners like T18 will change the tone and level of hair (not recommended for blondes that have dimension or lowlights)
•The hair color box does not have to say "toner" for it to be a toner. You can make a toner out of any permanent hair color by mixing it in a 1:1 ratio (1 part color to 1 part 10 volume developer) and applying it to towel-dried hair for up to 15 minutes.
•to find the correct toner, find your hair color level (1-10), then find your uwanted tone (yellow, orange, green or red). You are looking for a hair color that is the same level but the opposite color of the tone (if you have hair that is a level 9 yellow, you are looking for a 9V hair color to use as a toner)
•any shade of hair can use a toner (it's not just for blondes)
•darker hair that has a green tint can be toned using something with red (I would personally suggest using a color with pink in it- it makes a really nice natural color. Pink hair colors are often labeled "blush" or "rose"
•toner is applied quickly to towel-dried hair. It does not have to be a super neat application.
•If you are unsure about the toner, a strand test is recommended. Take a piece from the back and apply the toner, allowing it to process to ensure it's the color you want before committing to your whole head.
•once the toner is applied, cover it with a plastic cap or bag
•processing time is up to 15 minutes, checking it every 5 minutes
•rinse with cool water until the water is clear; you do not have to shampoo it out unless you prefer to
•toners last about 3 weeks (may be longer or shorter due to how much you shampoo your hair)

Thank you so much! I'm in cosmetology school right now and I'm not out on the floor yet. We just got done with color, and I told my instructor that I did not feel 100% comfortable with color yet. She told me that that is normal and I will learn more on the floor! I'm trying to have faith in what she is saying, but it's hard. I just came across your videos today and I've already showed my classmates!! You make everything make so much more sense! My instructor is 23 years old and just received her license a couple years ago, so its hard because she don't have that much experience. It has been my dream to be a cosmetologist so I'm not ever giving up and I'm obsessed with learning! I am in recovery, I have 4 years sober, and I feel like I've wasted so much time, and I'm playing catch up. Your videos have done so much for me!

She explained it so well. I bet if she taught in colleges and universities, she'd make Einsteins and Shakespeares out of people.

I have been trying to figure out at-home toner for a year and a half. This is the most thorough and efficient tutorial. I cannot thank you enough!

Thank you Britney I never knew you could use a permanent hair color instead of using a toner. That makes a lot of sense. I’ll have a better hair color next time I color my hair. I’ll see you Sunday.

I like that she's yelling at me because she knows that my instinct is to make the wrong decision regarding my hair products

I have been playing with my hair Color at home for years using trial and error techniques. I’ve done everything including burning off all my hair and having to shave my head. I love your instruction and attitude. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a YouTube video explaining toners this freak’in well 😊WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE!!❤❤❤

OMG! I just did this today after seeing your video and it turned out AWESOME!! Usually I use the T14 or T18 but it’s still yellow/orange and I have like 3 different colors going on and it looks so bad! Now it’s a cool white, no weird line between my roots and previous color! I’m in TOTAL shock right now! You are AMAZING!!

Warning. Do not use a bag with a print on it. Aka grocery bags. It will bleed onto your hair color. Always use a clear bag cap. You can find clear bag caps at Sally’s. You can use them as shower caps too. Good luck do it yourselfers.

Brittnee I have been watching your channels for about a month after finding you via YouTube search. Thank you for being you and like others have said before me you’re an incredible teacher. Slowly but surely I feel like I understand more with each day. Though I’m still a chicken and need help picking a base tone 😂 I was watching your entertainment channel the other night and my husband walked in to ask what I was watching and I said it’s my new hair girl😂☺️🤩💗🫶🏼God bless you and your family

Thank you so much for this!! All this time I thought "how the heck do I tone my med/dark brown hair" because I couldn't find anything with the word "toner" on it (other than the wella blonde toners). Thank you!!

I love rinsing my hair in cold water after toning during the winter! It counts double: as a hair treatment AND a Wim Hoff cold water immersion session. 😜
