To tone or not to tone, that is the question….


Toning can enhance your hair color by adding certain levels of warmth or coolness with semi-permanent hair color it’s impossible to lighten the hair so toning can only deposit color and change the hue.

There are toning products (from shampoo to deep conditioners) that can be applied to your hair at home to keep your color looking as fresh and vibrant as the day you walked out of the salon. At Oasis, we recommend Alurum moisture shampoo and conditioner to help maintain your color and to protect your hair after it has gone through the color/toning process. Each product has different application and processing directions. Some require just a few minutes, others require a longer time. If you have a question, make sure you contact us and we will guide you through the best application type for your hair. 

High-maintenance blondes love purple products because it counteracts undesired color changes. Bleached hair, or even virgin hair, is susceptible to dullness, brassiness, and absorbing things from water or pollution in the air. 

Want to boost the red in your hair or add a bit of warmth to your brunette locks by creating a mahogany look with an organic toner. We recommend Keratint to elevate warmth add a lot of shine.

Certain toning shampoo can be a bit on the drying side, so be on the lookout for a deep conditioning mask, like Redken to both condition and color correct some brassiness at the same time. Why not try a blue shampoo to cut out unwanted brassiness, it will help cut down on unwanted warmth and offer a cooler tone.

Did you know you can use toning shampoo on virgin hair and grown-out roots? Toning products cannot make you lighter and brighter, but they can bring out certain hues in your hair to give it another look – especially if you are looking to correct warmth at the roots.
