No, hair toner cannot lighten your hair. It only deposits a sheer tone over already lightened hair, usually blonde shades 8 and above. While toner can neutralize unwanted brassy tones, it doesn't have the ability to lift or lighten the hair color.
If you are looking to lighten your hair, you will need to use a bleaching agent or a hair dye that is specifically designed to lighten hair.
Here's a breakdown of how toner works:
- Neutralizes unwanted tones: Toner is primarily used to neutralize unwanted warm or brassy tones in blonde hair.
- Deposits a sheer color: It deposits a very subtle layer of color, not a full-on dye, onto the hair strands.
- Only works on lightened hair: Toner can only work on hair that is already lightened, such as bleached hair or naturally blonde hair.
If you have dark brown hair and want to lighten it, you will need to use a bleaching agent.
Here are some tips to keep in mind:
- Always consult a professional hairstylist: If you are unsure about what to do, always consult a professional hairstylist.
- Do your research: Before using any hair products, read the instructions carefully and understand how they work.
