How I Tone My Hair At Home & Color Melt My Roots

PLEASE READ!!~~~~~~
NEW VIDEO ON TONING WITHOUT DEVELOPER
• Updated Toned Hair Rou...
Hi there! Thanks for watching!
Don't forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to my channel for more videos!
This is a method I've been using for a few years to tone my hair and I added a trick to prolong my balayage ombre/highlights by darkening my roots and melting it together! It is quick, easy, and affordable to do! The products together are roughly $20 or less (If you have a sally's members card and/or existing tools).
PRODUCTS USED:
Wella 20 Volume Cream Developer
Wella Permanent Liquid Hair Color 4A/237 Medium Ash Brown
Wella Permanent Liquid Toner T18 Lightest Ash Blonde
Mixing Bowl & Brush (You can buy a set or separately at Sally's)
Fine Tooth Comb
Rubber Gloves
If you have a dark base and you use the toner over, it will lift some color! Which can be a good or bad thing depending on your intended target. This is why I darken my roots and blend it down to avoid the unnecessary lift of my darker base.

    My dark brown hair was highlighted about 2 months ago. I paid over $300 for the service and I could barely stand to look at it. I looked like a Jersey Shore wannabe with tacky, brassy highlights. With about $12, your amazing video, and the help of my boyfriend, I now have beautifully toned highlights and perfectly blended roots. You are helping thousands of women fix their botched dye jobs! Thank you for sharing this. May the hair gods bless you, always :)

    I know this video is old but I just want to say thank you! I went to my stylist to get my balayage refreshed since it grew out, she left me with orange roots and orangey red highlights. My balayage colors are ash tones so this freaked me out. She put a toner and it barely made a difference. I went back a 3rd time because I couldn’t live like this and she said there was nothing she could do. I refused to believe that so I went to a different salon and this stylist, well she evened out the orange roots however she added more highlights so now I looked like a raccoon. I was left with stripey yellow/orange highlights. Sitting at home in tears with no hope left searching KZread, I found your video. I had half a bottle of wella 2n which is close to my base color, and seeing how easy your technique was, I decided to try to “melt” it. At this point I had nothing left to lose. It worked! My hair looks beautifully balayaged again! From now on I’m going to maintain my hair myself since these 2 professionals screwed my hair up. Thank you! Thank you! 💗

    Next time that happens, ask for a refund! I just had a hair disaster from a "professional' but I kindly and firmly asked for my money back, and she gave it back. I needed it to buy stuff to fix my hair! All this lady was going to do it wash my hair with clarifying shampoo after she left spots all over my head,and made my hair also way too dark and red when it was supposed to be mushroom brown. My hair was all over platinum blonde and now its completely ruined!

    10 volume developer deposits only (meaning it is being added to the hair) 20, 30 and higher developer is stronger and is used for lifting color so when used for deposit only, it may lighten the hair one shade because of the strength. Hope that helps!
