how to use ION toner additives (toners you mix with bleach)
Highlights (7)
This video explains how to mix ION toner additives directly into a lightening formula instead of applying toner as a separate step. Vanilla and Silver Smoke are tested on medium brown hair, while Cool Porcelain and Lilac Crystal are tested on dark hair. Vanilla gives a natural neutral result and Lilac produces a pretty wearable color, but the additives may not eliminate the need for a follow-up toner and lightening can damage hair.
- Mix toner additives directly into lightener
- Vanilla is intended for levels 6–7
- Silver Smoke helps counter orange tones
- Cool Porcelain and Lilac Crystal are for levels 3–5
- Additives help control warmth but do not always replace toner
