HOW TO GET RID OF YELLOW HAIR WITH TONER | WELLA T18 TUTORIAL

DISCLAIMER: Normally you would apply toner straight after washing out the bleach on damp hair. The reason I applied to dry hair was because I wanted to make this video for people who have yellow areas of their hair that they want to fix themselves as well. Toner can be applied to damp hair or dry hair. When applied to damp hair it has the ability to spread past where you put it. This can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your starting point. On wet hair it will help blend evenly, on dry hair you can spot-tone easier. Why did I use 20 vol? Because the Wella t-18 box said to. I will use 10 volume sometimes as well. I would say to use 20 volume when you want to make sure that the yellow will be gone 100% but if I know my hair is a bit damaged I will use 10 volume to not swell the cuticle as much. This will give a less aggressive toning experience with the 10 vol. Both work great! How long to leave the toner on? I always go by sight. Just like cooking, a recipe can say cook on a temp for a certain amount of time but you can take it out of the oven and see that yours isn’t “crispy and golden” or is still pink in the middle of meat lol the longer you leave the toner on the higher the yellow cancellation. Some people like their blonde to have some warmth in it and some (like me) like to aggressively get rid of any yellow and know that over the next wash or two it will warm up a bit and change more to a white blonde. You can check the tone by either rinsing off a small area, or by pulling the excess toner off an area. I leave mine anywhere between 10-30 minutes but never longer. The brightness of your lightened area is how bright it will be once toned. The color is what’s changing with the toner. So if you are trying to tone a dark orange color with this toner, it will not turn blonde. It needs to be a light yellow in order to use this toner. Wella T18 is the best toner I’ve been able to find. I’ve tried other brands including shades eq and Wella t18 is much more effective at cancelling yellow tones. Hope this helps! Xo

The main difference between 10 and 20 volume developer is that 20 volume will lift the hair 1-2 levels, as well as deposit the tones that will cancel out your starting base tones (yellow and/or orange.) A 10 volume developer used in toner will mostly just deposit color without much lifting, which is why the results will be more intense than what you get using a 20 volume developer. If you have a bit of residual yellow after bleaching you might want to use 20 volume to get a clean platinum result. If you are wanting that silvery result but still have a bit of yellow to lift, you can use 20 volume developer to get that lift and add the Cooling Violet Additive that Wella makes (050) to your toner to get that result in a single process. Also, I think it's super important to note that if you are wanting to tone your hair between bleachings because it's starting to get too brassy, do not use anything over a 10 volume developer unless you are going to be super, crazy careful not to get any on your virgin regrowth. In fact, even 10 volume developer can be a gamble since it can technically lift up to one level. Getting the toner on your regrowth will lift the hair only slightly, leaving you with "hot roots" that lean very red or orange. It's not a good look. You're better off using a good purple shampoo and/or conditioner consistently for maintenence. The longer you leave it on, the more effective it is. The good thing about purple shampoo is that if you leave it on too long, or your hair is super porous and it leaves a purple cast, you can use regular or better yet clarifying or dandruff shampoo to eliminate the purple asap.

Beautiful hair! Well looks good and this toner!

Absolutely stunning! Thank you for this... I already toned with the T18 and Volume 20 developer for 45 minutes after bleaching... I still have some mild yellow patches that are bothering me and I think I am going to try toning again in a week or two after letting my hair "rest," this time I will apply the toner to dry hair. My hair is very healthy and bullet proof so I'm not worried about damage. Your hair is just gorgeous, thank you again!

WOW...you're talented. You can get the back on your own. Rather amazing!
