How to mix a toner for hair colour

- Last time I spoke about toners, it was mostly around the theory of toning hair, so in this video I wanted to deal with the practical and show you exactly how to mix a toner. Previous video concerning toning is here and I advise watching for the more theory side of toning. I think it's always useful to know WHY we do what we are doing:
• Toning hair: Remove or...
This is mainly used when you want to tone bleached hair, but it is also the same for making a toner to remove unwanted tones from previously coloured hair.
In this video I use the ratio 1:1:1 (ex. 10ml colour, 10ml water, 10ml developer), but 2:1:1 (20ml colour, 10ml water, 10ml developer) is also a common ratio used in salons, but will require you to be a little more careful with watching it develop. The maths of this would explain, but is a little out of the scope of this video and would overcomplicate matters...
I hope you find it helpful, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me, I'm always happy to help!

I absolutely love how you slowed your speech down so we, the non-hairdressers, can actually follow you. Thank you for this video. It will safe me a lot of money going to the hairdressers for a toner. Looking forward to your other videos. Ps. Ignore the bitchy comments on here. Not even worth yiur time to respond to them
haha thanks! I'm glad it helped, it can be really satisfying to be able to do your own hair at home rather than suffer a salon just for a quick toner! Best of luck and if you have any questions, feel free to ask and I'll do my best to help.
@@kirstyjoseph3741 uh this video is exactly to mix it. You ok there????
I just bought some wella online. The instructions are all in foreign languages. So thank you for this.
What a good idea to use the water , I make my own toners for my clients, and have never thought of thinning it down this way , Brilliant thanks
Thanks for simple and straight to the point explanation on ratio and what to do!
I have shoulder length hair but a balayage only that I apply on a brush , and been using colour Royale 8.1 , I use 30 ml of colour and 30 Ml of toner and 15 ML water.
I have a really nice light brown hair naturally and have blond balayage.
Lots of people compliment my hair and ask my hairdresser and when I say I do everything myself people can’t believe it !
I use a brush and apply the mixture into a plastic brush and create my balayage ! Save yourself $$$$$
After the colour and washing I use a toning mask ($25 ) every month !
Good luck everyone !
I usually use conditioner to mix my volume percentages down from a higher number. I will have to try the water now :-)
wonderful explanation ...thank you so much,am really gratefull.
My pleasure, glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for making this video, no one talks about this.
Thank you for the video. We can make it with 10 vol developer as 1:2 ratio.
Hi, I am watching your video and I want to congratulate you, I loved it! Cheers from Quebec, Canada ;-)
Thanks for the short and sweet video! Simple to follow and great recap! 😁👍
This was very straightforward and helpful! Thanks so much.
You are very helpful
First time I learned about toning and I love it
Thank you
Hello, thank you for tutorial! How long to we typically leave toner on our hair?
Maybe you should add the peroxide to the tint then add water :)
Are you adding the toner to wet hair at the sink? Or are you toning on dry hair?
Excellent straightforward advice tks.
The best explanation 👌 ever . To the point. Thank you
Thank you so much ☺️ this is so helpful and kind of you to do.
learnt so much and understood more.. thanks xx
Thanks so much, I'm glad you could find it useful!
Hello there, love your explanation. But how can I mix blue dye to tone orange? I tried it and turned my hair bluishy green.
Good informative video! I’ll try that when I tone my hair next month... I recently just purchased a creme ash toner and a 6% developer to tone my hair.. but I’m a bit confused with what the sales lady told me.
She told me that I would also need to mix color in the mixture as well. Her explanation was: 60g developer 6% + 30g ash color + 30g toner creme.
Can’t seem to find anyone suggesting that. Is that mixture possible?
Same! Do I apply to wet/dry hair and how do I know how long to leave it on?
Could you do a tutorial about mixing bleach and etc ?
Did you DOUBLE check by looking on the tube when squeezing if it was 10g?
Best video ever
Thank you thank you thank you! Someone has explained mixing a toner in plain English. Have you stopped uploading? I couldn't find your website either? Would like to hear more from you!
that was great so helpful, could you please tell me how to decide the color if i just lightened up my hair (bleached it) it has some redness in it and i want to get rid of the redness. thank you in advance
Hi, sorry for such a late reply, if you're still looking, I have another fairly short video here: th-cam.com/video/O3Qe-WciE54/w-d-xo.html which explains the theory behind this, but the easy answer is you would use an ash based colour to remove red from bleached hair. Colours like pearls, silvers, platinums etc. will remove oranges and you'll probably want to make a mixture of a couple of shades to get whjat you want :)
Thank you very much.
Great and clear, 😊
6% is 20 you said! Does that mean 9% is 30??
Yes that's correct, and 5vol is 1.5% and 40vol is 12%
this video saved my life(my hair's life)
Thank you for the brilliantly explained video! Very interesting. 👍❤️
Also what is the best colour to use to create a silver grey tone??
Hi I have a question.. if I mix 0.11 mixing permanent hair color by revlonissmo, can I use the same method on a previously colored 9.1 hair??
Are u making toner with regular hair colo...I need more details on toner. Thx
Is the tube of colour a permanent tint mixed with the 6% and water??
Yes it is!
ml. is liquid measurement, you are actually using 10 grams of each. Otherwise what is the use of using a scale?
Thanks for the this tip though, I really appreciate. I have 20 vol. developer and I don't need to buy a 10 vol. Thanks again.
thankyou for the practical! so helpful:)
Brilliant Thanks so m ch 😀💕
Can you guide me the pre lightening toner making method like munir salon
Hi can a permanent colour and toner with 20vol be mixed? Many thanks
I have dark toner on my roots will the ice blonde toner turn my roots orange?
Preboha, to sa nemiesa na zapnutej váhe.
And how long we have to keep it on head?
Hi if I follow your toner advice as I have and I’ve only got short hair on top as that’s the only part I’m dying.
I done this with 10% x 3 as advised in video.
But it didn’t Color it all through my hair is still partly blonde and I wanted it all platinum blonde . Is it ok if I do it again or shall I wait and if so for how long
Kind regards
Terry
Super helpful !
I need some help with Goldwell Nectaya Hair colour. Which percentage hair developer is best 6 or 9%. I would like to cover greys and go 2 shades lighter than my base shade.
What was the color number youmixed
I'd like to try to do my own colour...the info written down that I got from the hairdressers for my Goldwell colour is... 30 mm 6% 10mm 9NN - 10mm 9GB and10mm 9NA I know they used three colours. But have I got it wrong? Is mm correct or should it be millilitres? ... Thanks in advance.
You helped me so much, Thanks!
What’s the difference between zero lift and 10v dev. I’m gonna be using a Pravana toner??
How long do you leave the toner on the hair before washing it?
Plastic whisks do work best for mixing these color formulas.
Can I use majirel cream with inoa developer please
Plz can you tell how to from lighten hair to darken hair process like blone to brown hair ??
So what's the difference in lift and setting? I mean its obvious but the lady from sally told me I needed 20 dev and t18 toner bc I'm doing platinum blonde... . My hair is like medium brown . .pretty light . But lift? What am I supposed to be lifting I want to bleach my hair with this loreal extreme platinum feria and then use my toner!?!?!?
Excellent 👍
Hello. Would this work to create a “root fade/root shadow” to hide the foil lines? I’ve ordered some dark shades of colour and just wondering if I could use those colours to create a “toner” for the root fade
Hi Question here. I have brown hair with red/ orange tones can i use a semi permanent colour such as blue diluted with shampoo or developer to cancel out those unwanted tones?
Hi can you please tell me if I can use a 2% lotion for 4N colour please?
Thanks for this informative video. May I ask, how long can you keep the color tube and developer after it's opened? Will they lose quality if you don't consume them in 2 months?
huh, interesting question, this isn't 100% written in stone but... From my own observations, I'll just say that the developing lotion will be fine for at least a year. I've had developer on my shelf that's been opened but is an uncommon Vol% that's taken me at least a year to get through and was always fine. For the colour itself, I get through it quite quickly, but again, I think I've probably had some 6 months or more and they've always been fine. With the colour, there is sometimes the first 1ml or so in the tube which has been oxidised and tends to discolour, so I will clip that off and discard it and use the fresh stuff underneath. I figure best to be safe. Official word is parroted that it lasts 3 years, but I think that has a lot to do with EU laws rather than reality. Being an inorganic product, it shouldn't really go off, I think if you just clip off that discoloured 1ml then you'll be absolutely fine. Certainly 2 months, I'd say you have no worries at all, as some salons I've worked in have stock levels so high, that I wouldn't be shocked to find them using colour which is sometimes over a year old at least.
In short, no worries. I wouldn't be concerned using it myself. Hope this is helpful and thanks for the good question!
Why do you have to get it on your hair as fast as possible??
Whats the difference between toner and hair dye?
Thank you !!!
How do i know what volume goes with my color? I went to AVEDA hair salon and they used permanent color #4N. Its brown and covers my grey roots. Now i just want to do roots at home every 4 weeks. I ll get Aveda color from amazon. Do i have to use also developer from Aveda or just any brand? And does it have to be 6 % as they used at the hair salon? Could i buy 5% since I cant find 6% from Aveda on Amazon :(
We should use demi/quasi colour as a toner..
Can anyone please tell me
Why he add water ??😓
N which type of tonner u r talking about??🤔
He's diluting the developer
Some stylists do this when they run out of lower developer
Say you need 6% but only have 12%
If you mix the amount you need so say you need 40ml, you would mix 20ml water and 20ml of 12%. This will bring it down to 6%
You can do this for the other ones to.
Developer is water based.
Him using the water for the tonner lowers it down to what he needs and also gives him less thick consistency to help apply the tonner faster because when you apply tonner it needs to go on fast so you get even tones.
Ok. You used mm, ml and gms. Which one is it? Toner and developer weigh more than water, so it's not 1 to 1 in ml. It's in grams. If you used a measuring cup for these amounts, you'd get a completely different mixture. You'd end up with much much less water.
What would happen if I added a pump of purple shampoo into the toner mixture? Also is this a permanent dye you are using in this video ?
great vid loved it,thanks.
Developer comes in different persentage.how can I use it with a particular colour
Sorry for the late reply, you would use a specific % developer depending on the result you want. Rule is:
3% for depositing tone or going darker.
6% for covering grey hair and lifting up to 1 level
9% for lifting 2-3 levels
12% for lifting up to 4 levels.
Level refers to the "depth" of your original colour or how light/dark it is. 1 would be black and 10 would be VERY light blonde. My hair is around a level 6-7. First you determine your current level, pick a colour and then the % of developer that will achieve that.
Example: My hair is level 6. I want to go to 8 so I would pick 9%. Hope that helps!
Hello there, love your explanation. But how can I mix blue dye to tone orange? I tried it and turned my hair bluishy green.
If you allready have a 3% developer can you still water it down a bit or will that ruin it?
Thank you 🙏
I very love this video!!
Hi
Which colour number did mix in this recipe
how long can toner sit before its nogood
also, do you mix developer and toner together? (with the water 1.1.1. ratio?)
Hi...may i know what shade of the color u mix with as a toner?
I want to apply a Dialight 6.34 toner on my hair, which is dyed with VS Salonist 8.34 and I want it to be a bit darker than its now. How long do I leave the toner for? I heard its only 5mins.. Do we apply the toner to the whole head as when are dyeing the hair?
Thank you for a great video.
Hi! Thanks for your comment! I made another video about toning and specifically length of time for developing here: th-cam.com/video/O3Qe-WciE54/w-d-xo.html
But, in short, when you tone hair, it's less about time and more about what it looks like, so you want to watch it as the colour develops and remove once it has toned enough. 5 minutes is a good rule of thumb, but you might find yourself doing it multiple times. To be precise, it's definitely better to just watch the colour as it changes. Depending on what you want the result to be, how porous your hair is, which tones you're removing the time can be as quick as 2 minutes to 25 minutes+.
Also, yeah! You just apply it all over your head as quick as possible, you don't need to be too precise, just make sure it's saturating the hair with plenty of product!
I love how you explain very clear! Can I please have your email I still need help with understanding the colour chart on how to achieve the toning process
Why is it important to get it on as quick as possible?
How long do you normally leave the goldwell toner on
I buy hair color and my hair is black I want blonde what % I need to use
Can I use semi permanent color or does it have to be permanent?
Can you use this dye over henna x
Chemicals don’t dilute like that. It’s still 6% but just at a watery consistency. The hydrogen peroxide is still at 6%
Thats invotrect the volume of product is dilute and therefore when its distributed the effect is diluted.
Can you please let me know if I can use 20 % developer with Semi permanent hair color? I love this but it washes out in 3 to 4 washes (on frosted hair). I only use for a few strands using a cap.
i would also like to know!
So if I have 25 % of developer how much water should I add to dilute it to 20% for 60ml of developer?
Hi- thanks so much for doing this service for us! wondering if you have any idea the ratio or amount of NN goldwell dye you add to a regular formula when you have grey?
No problem :) When covering grey, you need to first analyse how much grey you have roughly, so for example 25/50/75/100% grey, then you basically add the NN to replace the grey, so if you're 25% grey, you'll need 25% NN, 50% grey you'll need 50% NN, 75%+ is 75% NN Hope that helps, any questions, let me know!
@@LemonSodaHair You are an so great! thank you so much for answering. You are doing a service to those of us who can't afford salon visits every month! thank you.
So a 12% developer=40vol????
hii..can u plz tell me what volume developer shud i use..i had never dyed/color my hair before..n i hv dark brown hair
Sure I can try to help, what colour are you aiming to go to?
Is this parmanet color or Demi parmanet ? Sir!
Is another name for toner quasi?
How can I ask questions reg. Toner
Never seen water used before
lovely😍😍
Hair colour or hair toner me kya farq he
what color is that??
I just did my roots using 8a and 20 vol. And I didn't leave it on long enough and it's a light orange (in the house it looks light a very light like Sandy blonde but outside in the sunlight it definitely is a very light orange). What kind of toner would I use to get rid of the orange? I'm looking for a Sandy blonde ( like the color Jennifer Anniston has her hair lightened to) and would I just put that on the orange hair then add all over the last 5 minutes?
Are the roots any darker than the rest of your hair or is it about even in terms of light/dark, just the tone that's off?
@@LemonSodaHair the roots are a little darker than the rest of my hair. After using some purple shampoo my roots are like a light strawberry blonde. Someone at Sally's said I should use Wella T14 toner but I wanted to wait to see what you said first before I tried anything
Yeah that's not a bad call, T14 is blue based, so you don't need to worry about it turning your ends khaki/green. It *might* turn the ends a little grey so you might want to watch it carefully. Another little thing, some blue based tones can look really dark on your hair, but it's alright, you can just get a strip of kitchen towel and use it to strip the colour off the hair as much as you can to check it, if it hasn't developed enough to get where you want, just recover it again. Tint won't lift tint so the actual levels (light/darkness) will stay the same as you are now, but doing as you said will likely remove that orange and give you a relatively even tone that has slightly darker roots than the rest but that's okay and should look nice as long as you don't have a defined line with the roots. If you do have a really definite line... things get a bit trickier :)
Oh, just to add, if it does turn the ends a tiny bit grey (it won't be like super gray, just a gentle hue probably) that will wash out really quick, so it's not the worst thing to happen in the world.
@@LemonSodaHair thank you so much, I was going to try and just put the toner on my roots so I don't run into it may be turning gray 😇
Anyone know is he using a permanent hair colour?
Does this proportion of mixing with water work with INOA developer?
Inoa contains oil.I dont think is a good idea.
Also as i Know inoa is not a Toner.
Is this ml or grams
If putting this mix on, should the hair be wet or dry?
Towel dry your hair and you can put it straight on to damp hair :)
