I've got most of my hair to a second blonde today but my hair loves to pull super red and even after the wells t18 toner it's still like a ginger red. I look like a blonde from about the middle of my forehead down but up top I look like I'm a natural red head and I can't fix it to save my life. I've been using toning shampoo and condition and I did use a toner already. It doesn't look awful, but not the best.

I would just go to a hair salon.

You would probably have to bleach the red areas. How long have you been using the toning shampoo? You might wanna just keep using straight up toner and developer instead of the shampoo.

Just today, just got my hair done yesterday. And Les, I would but I don't trust salons AT ALL. It sounds ass backwards but every time I have ever went to salons and I've gone to many.. They always fry my hair and I end up with a slimy, elastic, and sometimes matted mess. Ever since then I just do it myself! I have never fried my hair let alone as bad as the salons have. Shanae, that's what I'm thinking.. I'll probably give it a couple days rest before I go in with bleach because it doesn't look too terrible lol.

My hair didn't react to toner at all. I ended up using Manic Panic mixed with conditioner to tone my hair.

If your hair is pulling red, use green to cancel it.
If your hair is pulling orange, use blue.
If you have yellow tones, use purple.
In between? Mix together. (ex. Red-orange tones, use teal.)

When I had dyed my hair blonde and still had a bit of red orange I used the lightest ash blonde to help it out.

My hair reacted to the toner, it definitely helped me a lot! Now I'm just left with a strawberry blonde ish color lol it's hard to really explain and it looks different in all my pictures I try to take of it! Alma, I used the palest ash blonde toner I could find, did you use a dye over it or just the toner? Thank you ladies for all the advice!

My roots are the pale yellow which is why I used the toner an some of the strands were also so the toner helped a little, I plan to rebleach it in a day or two! Thanks!
