Will toner help eliminate any orange/gold/red left in my hair after bleaching?
Yes, toner will correct that. Temporary ash dye might fix it, but I wouldn’t do it because after you bleach your hair it is left very porous meaning that it will suck that dye up like a sponge and you will end up being back to having dark hair again (happened to me). There is ONE drugstore brand toner and L’Oreal makes it. It’s called “Tone Refiner”. I’ve used it a couple times and it worked well for me. There’s one for blonde hair and one for brown hair, I would go with the blonde one for you. *Also, at Sally Beauty Supply, there’s these little packets of color correcting solution (inexpensive), there’s a purple one for counter-acting brassiness. You could get a few of these and you can use them different ways; pour it in your shampoo, add it to your bleach or your color the next time or use it with a conditioning mask. It really is meant to be added to hair color, but my stylist told me the other ways to use it.
