Is there a way to speed up the process of removing toner?

You are here

Hello,

I recently had a toner put over my hair colour and foiled highlights because I wanted to tone down the blonde slightly. However, they are toned down TOO MUCH! My hair is much too dark. Is there a way to speed up the process of removing the toner faster (i.e., like a clarifying shampoo)?

I don't want to mess with the colour though as I get it professionally done so it looks that way.

Thank you for any help!!!

Dear Jackie,

We suggest that you use a clarifying shampoo (Moroccanoil clarifying shampoo), which will slightly remove the darker colour. Having said that, this will be a slow process but it will give you the desired outcome.

Please ensure to use a conditioner as an aftercare to maintain a healthy look,

Have you any advice on a colour that won't cause further damage?

I have brown hair that I've gradually had lightened over the last few years. Four months ago I asked my hairdresser about going silver/grey. He rightly explained he'd have to use bleach and that I would need to tone it regularly. I did this and my hair was fine for a month. I went back for my roots to be done and four weeks later they turned orange - no amount of toning helped. On top of this I have major breakage at my crown and on top, about an inch from the root.
