Toner to remove orange? (2023)

What toner cancels out orange?

If your hair is orange, you'll need a blue toner. Try a blue shampoo to tone the brassiness and get rid of the orange. This color toner is commonly needed for darker hair.

A toner can neutralize the unwanted brassy orange and yellow tones in your hair and give you a cool-toned hair color. It is a translucent deposit of hair color that contains just enough pigment to improve your hair color. You can use it mixed with peroxide right after you bleach your hair.

Unfortunately, orange roots from bleaching will not fade to your desired color on their own. You can't hope that the orange will fade over time. The only way to get rid of orange roots is to color correct the unwanted shade. You can do this by using a toner or pigmented shampoo.

The most well-known ways to fix orange roots are dyeing them darker, bleaching them once again (for healthy hair), toning them with purple/blue toner, using a hair color remover, or applying natural lightening cures, for example, a 1:1 mix of honey and conditioner.

Purple shampoo is a classic toner for blonde hair, whether it is dyed or natural. You can use it to get rid of those brassy tones and add to a brighter, more vivid color.

There's two reasons why your hair is still brassy after toning or colouring. Either the undertone of the toner/colour is wrong, or the product is too light for you.

Wella T14 has a blue-violet base, which means it will counteract (or reduce) gold / yellow orange tones.

Mix the toner with developer (either 20 or 10 Vol) - using an applicator bottle is the easiest way to mix and apply your toner. Apply your toning mixture using a tint brush to damp, towel dried hair. Leave on for up to 30 minutes and rinse out.

Generally, we can say that ash blonde on orange hair before and after putting on can tone your hair color. To be more specific, this shade of ash blonde dye on orange hair can neutralize the brassiness. Ashy blonde has the cool undertone that cancels out the unflattering and warm tone of orange.

If your hair is on the yellowish, orange end of the spectrum, purple shampoo will fix it. Like blue shampoo, purple shampoo is another at-home option that's formulated to neutralize brassy yellow and orange tones in color-treated hair. It's primarily used to tone blonde (or lightened), color-treated hair.

What color to put over orange bleached hair?

As you can see from the color wheel, the color opposite to orange it on the color wheel is blue, as well as blue-green. So the way to neutralize the orange would therefore be to use blue-based colors. Also, for very orange hair, you can add in some ash (which is simply the colorist's way of saying blue-green).

The most powerful toner against orange tones is the Wella Colour Charm Toner in 050 Cooling Violet. Used alone on blonde hair this gives a steel grey result. Used alone on orange hair this will really reduce the orange tones and leave you with an ashy dark blonde/light brown result.

Choosing the right toner can make or break the blonde hair color look you're going for. Toners like Wella T14 and Wella T18 are designed to eliminate brassiness and neutralize unwanted warmth so you can get a nice, clean blonde. Plain and simple, Wella T14 is a violet-blue base while T18 is a violet-violet base.

Apple cider vinegar proves effective in treating orange hair. You need few drops of blue or purple liquid food color, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 2-3 tablespoons of coconut oil and 1 cup of water. Now apply some coconut oil before you apply the mixture. Wash your hair the next morning and apply the mixture.

Also known as a demi-permanent color, hair gloss, or glaze, toners are also used by colorists to correct and cancel out unwanted yellow, orange and red tones in hair.

Use 20 Vol Developer with your toner if you are looking to go lighter with your toner, if you've just bleached your hair and your hair is uneven, or if you're seeing a lot of brassy yellow tones. 20 Vol Developer gives the most permanent results.

If you leave the toner processing for too long, you might end up having damaged hair with unwanted purple or blue shades. Why does this happen? Toners have pigments in them to cancel out the yellow and orange tones in brassy hair.

This is where the toner will work to emphasize or deemphasize certain tones in your hair, as well as add shine. It will process anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Typically, toners can last about 2-6 weeks, but this all depends on your hair porosity and integrity.

How long should I leave toner in my hair?

Leave the toner on for approximately 8-10 minutes for lighter hair and up to 20-30 minutes for darker hair. This toner removes “brass” for perfect blonde hair. To achieve the best results, you should lighten your hair before applying the toner.

If you have any orange left in your hair, T14 is probably the best for your hair over T18. T18 is only effective if your hair is a level 10 or higher (purely yellow). Putting the wrong toner in your hair won't necessarily harm it, but it likely won't affect the color at all.

As it turns out, you can use a blonde hair dye to neutralize your orange hair — the secret is to look for a shade that's ashy. Ashy, cool undertones are the key to canceling out the warm, unflattering orange tones that currently adorn your strands.

When they should be used – T14 should be used when you have unwanted orange/gold, brassy tones in your hair and want an ashy blonde result. T18, on the other hand, is best for when your hair has unwanted yellow tones, and you want a super light ash blonde or a platinum blonde.

Wella T14 has a blue-violet base, which means it will counteract (or reduce) gold / yellow orange tones.

Mix the toner with developer (either 20 or 10 Vol) - using an applicator bottle is the easiest way to mix and apply your toner. Apply your toning mixture using a tint brush to damp, towel dried hair. Leave on for up to 30 minutes and rinse out.

Ash: T14 & T18 add depth and dimension to cooler blonde shades with undertones of blue, gray, and violet. Beige: T11, T15, T27 & T35 are toners for orange hair that help to define lightened hair color in warmer shades of blonde.

Using Blue Based Toners is one of the best ways to neutralize yellow and orange hair. In fact, blue based colors are some of the most useful products a stylist can keep at her or his station.
