Did you think that orange tones appeared in dark roots only in colored or bleached hair?

Well, actually, orange tones also appear in naturally dark hair such as brown hair.

Do you know why?

 

 The sun’s rays, chlorinated water, and even seawater have a bleaching effect on the hair even if the color is natural.  When brown hair is bleached, what color appears?

 

Orange!

Since your dark roots are the most exposed part of your hair, they bleach to a nasty coppery color.

Of course, natural brunettes are not the only ones who suffer from orange tones in the dark roots. Those who have a balayage or darkened roots also suffer from it. How do you solve it?

 

You should apply Wella T18 to neutralize orange tones on dark roots

Wella developed T18 for those who want to recover the vibrant color of their roots without orange tones.

 

Before I tell you the story of two of my clients, let’s review neutralization.

Don’t get annoyed because I’m not going to take a test. If you decide to use a toner on your dark roots, whether it’s T18 or any other,  you must know how the product works. .

 

Neutralization consists of applying the opposite color to the one you want to remove. It’s clearly detailed on the color wheel.

What are the colors women hate the most when they appear in our hair?

 

 They’re orange and red, especially when you haven’t dyed your hair with a fantasy hair color such as passion red .

 

The advantage of T18 is that you can apply it all over the hair or just on the dark roots.

Wella T18 is ideal for orange tones because it’s  formulated with blue and violet pigments. Therefore, it neutralizes a wide range of orange undertones, from the palest to the most intense. .

 

Now, let’s get down to the core of the matter.

Case 1- Wella T18 on dark natural hair roots

Lorena is a beautiful young woman in her twenties with energy that lights up the place where she is.

She proudly wears her natural brown hair. She must be one of the few people who aren’t influenced by YouTubers’ hair miracles.

 

However, there’s a problem.

Lorena is very sporty, I mean super sporty.

She signs up for every race, marathon, triathlon, or cross-country run that crosses her path.

That leads her to many hours of summer and winter outdoor training. That’s all good if we’re talking about improving her physical endurance.

 

But it’s bad news for her hair. Naturally dark hair wears out from the effects of the sun’s rays. .

Also, Lorena swims. Even though she wears a cap, her hair is exposed to chlorine. It also wears out the color in her dark roots.

 

On top of that, Lorena doesn’t pay much attention to hair care products. Therefore, as much as I hate it, she uses sulfate shampoo and conditioner. As they’re detergents, they also wear out the color.

 

All these things,  lighten Lorena’s dark roots until they get horrible orange tones that make them look messy. .

Every time Lorena visits me in the salon, I use T18 on her dark roots to neutralize the orange.

Do you have the same problem as Lorena?

 

All you need to solve it is:

 

Step-by-step:

• Untangle your hair and separate it into 4 sections, holding them with hair clips.
• Put on your gloves. Mix the T18 with the developer until the elements are integrated.
• Release one of the sections of your hair and apply the mixture to the roots only.
• Leave the mixture on for 10 minutes, just 10 minutes!
