HOW TO FIX THE YELLOW HIGHLIGHTS WITH PURPLE TONER

As we mentioned at the beginning of this article, the technique of highlights is accomplished commonly through bleaching the hair. It is therefore normal for tones of orange and yellow tones that appear after bleaching.

Why do these tones come up?

Since dyes leave a remnant and the bleaching mixture is unable to eliminate it. But, don’t be concerned since toner is there to help.

We often mention the colour wheel. On the wheel, yellow is neutralized by purple since it’s the opposite colour. Thus, the purple toner will remove those yellow tones that are unpleasant.

The first thing to get is the toner. We suggest looking for it at salons because it’s an important instrument for the hair colour professionals.

After you have the toner as well as the 20 volume peroxide, begin the application process.

• Comb your hair using a middle parting.
• Mix the toner with the 20-volume peroxide in a plastic container.
• You could add a few drops of coconut oil for your hair to remain hydrated.
• Wearing gloves, begin applying the mixture to your hair lengths, and then progress to the roots. Allow the mixture to be in place for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Make sure to constantly check your hair. Keep in mind that within only a few minutes, the colour will transform completely. Make sure you don’t put the toner on for too long, as you’ll risk getting hair to be purple.
• When the toner exposure time is up, wash your hair thoroughly with warm water.

Now that you’ve got your highlights with the colour you’ve always dreamed of There’s a second method you can do to keep the yellow-toned tones away from your hair.

We are now talking about the violet or purple shampoo that you need to apply when you shampoo your hair every time. This will substitute your regular shampoo.

So, you can prevent having your highlights from becoming yellowish.

If you have orange highlights, then you need to use a blue toner.

HOW TO CORRECT ORANGE HIGHLIGHTS WITH BLUE TONER

If your highlights start appearing orange, blue toner will be able to correct it completely, as it is able to neutralize the orange tones which appear after bleaching.

The application method is similar to the method we have explained previously for the purple toner which means you are required to mix the toner with the 20 volume peroxide in a plastic container and begin applying the toner to the roots.

Then continue application on the ends and lengths that always require more time for colours to be absorbed and then let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Once again, don’t let the toner stay for too long!

In this instance, to ensure that the orange hues aren’t recurring, we would suggest you swap your regular shampoo for a blue shampoo whenever you shampoo your hair.

What is the reason we would recommend blue shampoo?

Since toner has a shelf life of only two-week. So, if you don’t intend to apply toner too frequently, then you should make use of the blue shampoo.

CONCLUSIONS

If you are not happy with the finishing look of your highlights, because they appear too orange or yellow, then what you need to do is to apply toner.

Purple toner should be applied to highlights that are yellowish and blue toner is for highlights that are too orangey.

It is recommended to mix the toner with 20 volume peroxide and let it sit for a maximum time of 5-10 minutes. It is important to bear in mind that you must control the duration of exposure strictly.
