If your natural or pre-lightened hair has a very light and pale blonde color, then a purple or silver toner would be ideal for reducing the yellow tones on it. However, if your hair is medium, dark, or dirty blonde, then a blue or silver-blue toner would be perfect to neutralize the rusty, orange tones on it.
Using Blue Based Toners is one of the best ways to neutralize yellow and orange hair. In fact, blue based colors are some of the most useful products a stylist can keep at her or his station. In this blog we will show you how you can use blue based color to use to neutralize yellow or orange.

These toners have lift built in them (booster) and they are good at kicking out extra yellow. They should give you a very good hair color result. If the hair is level 8, 9 or 10, that means you have lifted very well. Now you just need a good quality ash toner.
How do you know which developer to use with the toner? 10 volume will allow the toner to deposit more color, 20 volume will deposit less. Once you decide which toner shade and developer you will use, measure using a hair color measuring cup and mix 1 oz. toner to 1 oz.
Wet hair may dilute the toner and affect the longevity of the toner and its color. There is a good reason why it is recommended to use toner always on towel-dried hair.

If you already have bleach-damaged hair, the chemicals in the developer could make the condition even worse. That's why it's recommended to use a mild 10-volume or 20-volume developer rather than one of the stronger developers like 30- or 40-volume.
The best neutralization of tones is achieved by using the opposite color. Remember the spectrum of colors in the shape of a circle: opposite to yellow is purple. So, for the opposite effect of yellow, use a purple hair tint. If you want to neutralize orange-red and reddish tones, choose a greenish or bluish tint.
