That means it will not make very blonde highlights dark again, it will tone the blonde down temporarily.

Toner will also provide:
Color with less potent chemicals. As your hair has already been subjected to bleach or peroxide in order to lighten it, you take a chance to put harsh chemicals on the same hair again. And... just to be clear, your highlights will not fade away. They are permanent until they grow out and get cut off.



For anyone who colors:
Here is where the shampoo you use is important. I don't care what the front of the bottle says, look at the ingredients!

To minimize rapid fading, your shampoo should NOT contain:
Sodium Laurel Sulfate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, or Sodium Hydroxide.

Looks like you wear your hair fairly short. I'd try to love it until you can clip it off. Much less of a gamble.
(in my retired professional opinion)

I'm trying to get use to it. I do wear my hair short and thank God it grows like weeds! I was just shocked to see it so bleached. Can't tell if I look younger or older. I will live with it for a while. Thanks for your input.
