Should Hair Be Dry Before Toning?

Hair Toning Tips

• Ideal Hair Toning Conditions
  • Your hair should be about 70% dry before toning.
  • After rinsing out the bleach, towel dry your hair before applying toner.
• Hair Toning Techniques
  • Apply toner to 70% dry hair for ideal results.
  • Damp hair helps distribute toner effectively.
  • Blonde hair can seem brighter yellow when wet but neutral/ashy when dry.
• Wet vs. Dry Toning
  • Effects of Wet Toning
    • Wet hair allows for faster and deeper color penetration.
    • Dyeing wet hair can result in more vibrant and long-lasting color.
    • However, wet hair is more fragile and prone to damage.
  • Best Toning Practice
    • You should always use a hair toner when your hair is 70% dry and slightly damp.
    • Applying toner on damp hair ensures better results than applying on wet or dry hair.
    • It is recommended to have your hair slightly wet for toning rather than completely dry.

Hair Cutting Practice

• You can practice cutting hair without someone by using a wig, mannequin head, or yarn the same length as your hair. Cutting hair takes little time.

Toning Aftercare Advice

• Toning enhances hair color and covers brassiness.
• Deep condition after toning to replace moisture.
• Don’t overdo it – tone every two weeks maximum.
• Choose the right toner for your hair color.
