Which WELLA toner to use on my orange hair: T10 or T28?
If your hair is orange or light orange, you bleached it and it reached the intermediate colors of the color numbering system.
Orange appears when you reach an intermediate blonde or bleach level.
Therefore:
- If you bleached your hair and reached dark blonde 6 or light brown 5, you should apply WELLA T10.
- Alternatively, if you bleached your hair to blonde 7, you should use WELLA T28.[/su_list]
Those two WELLA toners will leave your hair ashy.
How does the magic happen?
It’s not really magic but science. There’s a process called neutralization behind the science.
What is neutralization?
If your hair is orange, you must apply the opposite color on the color wheel to eliminate or neutralize it, which is blue.
Of course, to know whether you should apply Wella’s T10 or T28, there are two things to keep in mind:
- The bleach level you reached. It could be light brown 5, dark blonde 6, or blonde 7.
- The color you want to achieve.
If your hair is dark orange, light brown 5, or dark blonde 6, you should apply WELLA T10.
At that bleach level, although your hair has some yellow pigments, the predominant ones are orange.
Therefore, you need to apply a toner that includes blue pigments.
After applying WELLA T10, your hair will be ashy with no bright orange traces.
If your hair is light orange or blonde 7, you should apply WELLA T28.
At that bleach level, your hair contains orange and yellow pigments.
Earlier, we talked about neutralization and opposite colors on the color wheel.
Blue is the opposite of orange, and purple is the opposite of yellow.
Since your hair has more orange than yellow pigmentation, you should apply a toner that contains more blue than purple pigments.
That toner is WELLA’s T28.
It has mainly blue pigments while purple is a secondary color.
Therefore, it’ll neutralize light oranges and yellowish oranges in your hair, leaving your hair a deep ash blonde.

Recommendations before applying WELLA T10 or T28
- You can apply the toner right after bleaching your hair.
- You can apply it on wet or dry hair.
- Once you prepare the toner and developer blend, you should apply it to your hair. It loses its effect after 20 minutes.
- Do not leave the toner in your hair for more than twenty minutes. Otherwise, you’ll only dry out your hair even more.
Having made these recommendations, let’s move on to the step-by-step process.
Step-by-step:
- Comb your hair and separate it into four sections, two front and two back, holding them with hair clips.
- In a plastic container, place the WELLA toner and add the 20 volume developer.
- Mix to blend.
- Apply it from roots to ends to each of the sections you separated.
- Cover your hair with a shower cap to keep the heat and leave the toner on for up to 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, rinse your hair with plenty of warm water.
- You can wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner to remove any toner residue.
Finally, you can leave your orange hair behind and go for ashy blonde hair without any unwanted colors.
