1. Silver

• T28 – Natural Blonde

Pre-lighten your hair to yellow before applying this toner to get a natural blonde shade. If you want to know more about this product, check out this video on YouTube, which details the reviewer’s experience.

Why We Think It's Worth Buying

It has gained over 247 positive reviews on Amazon, making it an all-time best-seller.

• T10 – Pale Blonde

Previously known as Ivory Lady, this blue toner gives your pre-bleached blonde hair the lightest platinum or silvery shade. The violet-blue undertones of this lightest shade toner will cancel out the yellow-orange tones in your hair.

Pro Tip

Color-treated hair fades overtime, and bleach-blonde hair oxidizes and takes on brassy tones. To maintain healthy-looking shade, tone your hair every 6 to 8 weeks.

2. Ash

• T14 – Pale Ash Blonde

Earlier known as the Silver Lady, this toner contains violet-blue undertones that add a pale grayish tint to your pre-lightened pale yellow tresses, resulting in a pale ash blonde hair color.

• T18 – Lightest Ash Blonde

To get rid of light brassy tones from your pre-bleached yellow hair, use this violet-based toner to obtain the lightest ash blonde tone. To cancel out those brassy hues on dark hair, pre-lighten your hair to a golden-yellow shade and use one of the Wella Color Charm toners belonging to the Beige family, such as T15, T11, T27, and T35. This range helps to color correct your hair shade and will help you get a captivating hair color that is a blend of beige and golden blonde shades.

Pro Tip

More than 40 years ago, Franz Stroher, a hairdresser and beauty expert, established his own company in Rothenkirchen, Germany, in 1880 to make and sell hair tulle.

3. Beige

Naturally black or dark brown hair tends to develop reddish-orange or red tones when bleached blonde. To cancel out those brassy hues on dark hair, pre-lighten your hair to a golden-yellow shade and use one of the Wella Color Charm toners belonging to the Beige family, such as T15, T11, T27, and T35. This range helps to color correct your hair shade and will help you get a captivating hair color that is a blend of beige and golden blonde shades.

• T15 – Pale Beige Blonde

Applying Wella Color Charm T15 toner on your pre-lightened golden yellow hair will leave your tresses with a pale beige blonde shade.

• T11 – Lightest Beige Blonde

When this violet-green toner is applied to yellow-hued hair, the result is a light, delicate shade of beige blonde.

Pro Tip

Get a gloss once in a while. Closing your hair’s cuticle with a hair gloss helps to seal in color and add shine to the strands. If you take good care of your hair and use the correct products but your toner is still fading, this can be a great solution.

• T27 – Medium Beige Blonde

If you want to go for a slightly darker shade than the color obtained from the application of T11 toner, T27 is your best choice with long-lasting results. It lifts your hair color to a medium beige blonde.

• T35 – Beige Blonde

By canceling out the reddish-orange tones in your golden-hued hair, this violet-green toner gives you the perfect shade of beige blonde.

How To Use Wella Color Charm Permanent Liquid Hair Toner

What You Need

• Wella Color Charm Permanent Liquid Hair Toner
• 10 or 20 volume developer*
• Gloves
• Old t-shirt
• Hair coloring brush
• Glass bowl
• Shower cap

*Developer of a higher volume should be used only under the supervision of a professional hair colorist.

Process:

1. Mix the toner and developer in the glass bowl in a 1:2 ratio (i.e., one part of the toner and two parts of the developer). Do a strand test to see how long it takes to attain the desired result.

2. Make sure that your hair is damp before applying the toner. Then, put on your hand gloves and wear an old T-shirt to avoid staining your hands and clothes.

3. Clip up the top layers of your hair to start the toning process from the bottom section of your hair.

4. Apply the toner evenly to small sections of your hair, from the roots to the tips, with the hair coloring brush. Once you are done applying with the bottom section of your hair, move to the top section.

5. After you have applied toner to all your hair, put on a shower cap and leave it on for 20-30 minutes. Don’t panic if the toner looks purple or blue on your hair – it’s just a part of the toning process.

6. After the instructed time, rinse off the toner thoroughly with cool water. Don’t use shampoo, but moisturize your hair with a conditioner for a deep conditioning treatment. Don’t wash your hair with a shampoo for 24 hours to prevent the toner from fading before it has fully set in.

You already know that colored hair requires a lot of maintenance. Well, toned hair requires its own set of maintenance tips that you need to follow to keep it looking fresh. Check them out in the next section.

Tips For Maintaining Toned Hair

• If you want your toned hair to last longer, use a dry shampoo or a sulfate-free shampoo twice a week instead of washing it with a regular shampoo.
• Apply leave-in conditioner 2-3 minutes before washing your hair. This conditions your hair and prevents brassy tones from occurring again. Using a purple shampoo or a purple conditioner once a week also works as a form of restorative care for maintaining the vibrancy of your hair color.
