Aveda ENLIGHTENER BLONDE FINISH PROTECTIVE TONER Hair Color 2.8 oz Description This is a 2.8 oz (? 80 g) tube of the Aveda Enlightener Blonde Finish Protective Toner. The formula is described as a ?gentle gel-creme? that is 96 % naturally derived, and includes plant-based nourishing oils such as organic sunflower, castor and jojoba oils. It?s designed for blonde hair?helping to refine the tone, reduce unwanted brassiness, and leave the hair with shine and vitality. Note: This toner typically requires mixing with a compatible developer (as per professional colour usage). Key Features Benefits Customizable blonde refinement: The formula is available in three pre-blended shades (Ash, Beige, Gold) to suit different blonde goals: Ash ? violet-based toning to neutralize yellow tones. Beige ? violet/yellow-based for soft neutral blondes. Gold ? yellow/orange-based for warmth-enhanced blondes. Up to ~4 weeks of refined blonde result: The toner is marketed to help maintain the perfect shade of blonde for up to four weeks. High-performance, naturally-derived formulation: It features a gentle gel-creme texture, and is described as being ?96 % naturally derived? (from plants, non-petroleum minerals or water). Protective plant-based oils: Enriched with Aveda?s signature blend of certified organic sunflower, castor and jojoba oils ? which help protect hair during processing and add luminous shine. Designed for finishing applications: This toner is meant to be used after achieving the desired lightening stage ? i.e., after one of the blonding lifts/lightening steps, to finish and refine the tone. Usage and processing time: The service guideline suggests a processing time of approximately 5 minutes during a salon finishing step. Protection from stressors: Helps safeguard blonde locks from daily stresses like UV rays, environmental pollutants, heat?styling to keep hair looking vibrant. How to Use After achieving the desired lift (blonde level) with the lightening service, shampoo and towel-dry the hair. Mix the toner with the appropriate developer (per salon protocol) and apply evenly to hair to refine the tone. Process for about five minutes (or as directed) until the desired blonde tone is achieved. Rinse thoroughly, shampoo with a color-safe shampoo and apply conditioner or a post-color treatment. Technical / Ingredient Highlights Gentle gel-creme texture (less aggressive than some powders). Contains certified organic sunflower seed oil (Helianthus annuus), castor oil (Ricinus communis), jojoba seed oil (Simmondsia chinensis) to nourish and protect. 96 % of the formula?s ingredients are derived from plants, non-petroleum minerals or water. Salon use product: Not recommended for un-lightened dark hair if you intend to keep original hair color (toner is meant for blondes or blonding services). Who It?s For Ideal for blonde or lightened hair where tone refinement is needed (for example, after highlights, balayage, full-bleach or platinum services). Suitable for those who want a more custom result ? choosing between Ash, Beige or Gold depending on the desired blonde shade. Good for clients looking to enhance and maintain their blonde tone and protect it from loss of vibrancy due to UV, heat styling, environment. More of a professional/salon usage product rather than purely at-home consumer toner (though some retailers sell it direct). Important Notes / Considerations The product should be mixed with a compatible developer (creme or liquid) ? the listing mentions that ?Must be mixed with creme color developer/AVEDA Color Catalyst?. As with any blonde finishing service, it?s important to strand test and follow the lift/toner guidelines. The formula is built for finishing after lifting to a certain level. While the formulation is 96% naturally derived, it is still a professional chemical processing product ? adequate protective measures (gloves, ventilation, etc) should be taken. As with many toners, results will vary depending on hair?s previous condition, level of lift, underlying pigment, porosity, etc. Because of the custom nature (Ash/Beige/Gold) the wrong shade might shift the tone too cool or too warm depending on your base. Choose the shade wisely. SIZE: 2.8 fl. oz. Tubes NEW, UNUSED PRODUCT PICTURE OF ACTUAL ITEM SOLD FREE SHIPPING IN THE UNITED STATES! PRICES VARY ACCORDING TO AVAILABILITY DEMAND!!
