A moment with toner 🫂🥰 @livathecolorist great work! ・・・ When your client’s root lifts to a clean level 10, the mid-lengths sit at a warm 8, and the ends are practically white – level 15 – 😆 the result can look like a toning disaster waiting to happen! You know what I’m talking about – those perfectly cool roots, yellow mids, and violet/blue-ish ends 🥴 We often go straight for neutralising, mixing a bit of everything into one formula, hoping the pigments will do their job 😅 But here’s the truth: You can’t tone three different levels with one cool formula and expect harmony. Instead, tone everything down to match the worst part – yes, tone to a level 8 yellow-orange. Then you neutralise. It feels wrong, but it works like magic ✨ In this case, we couldn’t lift higher because of old dark tint on the mids – a leftover from a previous all-over colour that no longer matched her outgrown root. Sometimes, blonde dreams meet the reality of colour history. You just gotta outsmart the canvas. Save this post for later when you are in this situation, and leave a comment if you want the @redkenpro Shades EQ Gloss Formula #toning #blondehair #colormagic #haireducation #redkenartist #shadeseqgloss
