Yes, You Can Tone A Brassy Brunette At Home

Brunettes suffer from the nasty brassies too, but don’t worry—say goodbye to unwanted Warm Tones and hello to a Cooler, more balanced Brunette.

For us Blondes, Toning is life. With it, you get a smooth, glossy Blonde. Without it—a nightmare—your Hair gets taken over by those nasty brassy and yellow tinges. Thankfully, our Toner Kit makes Toning a breeze. In just minutes, those brassies are gone, leaving your Hair silky smooth. No wonder it has a legion of fans!

But what about us Brunettes? When we're aiming for a Cool or Neutral Brunette hue, what happens when those pesky Orange and Red Hues start running wild, wreaking havoc on our Dark Hair? Should we Brunettes have to put up with that? Absolutely not! We’ve got amazing brass-busting solutions perfectly tailored for us Brunettes and Dark Blondes.

Why Brunettes and Dark Blondes Need Toning

Just like Blondes, Brunettes and Dark Blondes need Toning to combat Brassiness. Lifestyle factors such as sun exposure, frequent washing, and heat styling can Lighten Dark Hair and make those unwanted Brassy hues more noticeable. Over time, you might find your sleek locks Warming up and taking on Reddish tones, especially in sunlight.

Unlike Light Blondes, Dark Blondes and Brunettes contain more Red pigment to achieve those rich, deep Colours we adore. This is why a good Toning solution is essential.




Toned with the Intense Ash Brown Toner Kit


As Brunettes, we definitely don't want to keep Colouring our whole head, just to manage the brassiness—it will quickly turn a beautiful Brunette into a heavy Brown built up with pigment. Constantly Colouring your Hair to manage Brassiness can lead to a heavy buildup of pigment, turning a beautiful Brunette into a Dark Brown with excessive, unhealthy build up.

As you know, we at My Hairdresser do Toning differently. Say goodbye to those matte, shine-sucking shampoos and treatments. We believe in toning that enhances shine and revitalises your Hair with a fresh burst of pigment to banish those nasty Brassies. Our goal is full, vibrant Colour, not flat tones.

How To Use The Toner Kits

Everything you need for effortless Toning is included in the Dark Blonde and Intense Ash Brown Toner Kits, complete with an Applicator Bottle for quick and easy application.

1. Determine the amount of product needed

Half a toner kit: Enough for very short Hair. Full toner kit: Enough for regular or fine long Hair. Toner kit refill: Enough for long and thick Hair.

2. Mix your Toner in your Applicator Bottle

Add equal parts of the Colour tube and No Lift Developer to the Applicator Bottle. (e.g. 1 full tube of Colour to 1 full bottle of No Lift Developer). Secure the lid and shake the bottle well until the mixture is fully combined.

3. Apply your Toner Kit

Wearing gloves, apply the Toning mixture to dry Hair, focusing on your Brassy areas. Apply as quickly and evenly as possible to ensure full coverage. Keep a close eye on your Hair during the Toning process, as different Hair types react differently and may require varying times. For some, 5 minutes is sufficient; others may need the full 20 minutes, or even up to 30 minutes if there's a lot of Warmth.

4. Rinse and wash your Hair

Once you’ve achieved your desired tone, rinse and wash your Hair thoroughly.
