How to Fix Over-Toned Hair

Clarifying Shampoo

The first and most obvious process of removing toner from your hair is to wash multiple times with a clarifying shampoo. This process is not the most effective, however, it is the least stripping. Make sure you get washing immediately after you notice you have over-toned those locks! Most toners are not permanent, therefore eventually, after several washes, the 'cool' tones will fade. If you're wanting that toner gone quicker, 2-3 washes with a clarifying shampoo will start to remove the blue, grey or purple stains.

Baking Soda

This next method can be used after shampooing your hair. Simply grab 1-2 tablespoons (depending on the amount of hair you have) and start massaging into your hair. Leave this in for a minute or two and rinse. As baking soda has brightening qualities, this will help to strip the toner and gradually bring back golden tones.

Dishwashing liquid

A slightly more stronger ingredient in the quest of how to fix over toned hair is dishwashing soap/liquid. Take a small amount and lather up into your hair, just like you would your regular shampoo. Again, get to your hair ASAP and leave for a couple minutes before rinsing. Dishwashing liquid is very clarifying and stripping, therefore this will leave your hair feeling dry and brittle. It's super important to follow up with an intensive, deep conditioning treatment to bring back the moisture into your hair.

Hydrogen Peroxide

Lastly, diluted hydrogen peroxide will strip those unwanted shades from your over toned hair. This is very stripping and harsh on your hair, so it is imperative you indulge your hair in a few conditioning treatments after this process. To remove the toner, dilute with water and spray onto your hair. Make sure to only leave this on for a minute to minimize damage. After rinsing, apply a deep conditioning treatment and leave overnight for best results. This will bring back the good stuff to your suffering hair, and keep it feeling and looking super healthy.
