How To Tone Hair (CHEAP EASY SECRET) 

ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS: - the recipe in details: Get a blue black box hair dye, use a table spoon of the dye mix (paste and liquid) add to it 3 table spoons of shampoo (white or transparent regular shampoo) mix then add a tea spoon of water. Keep mixing and apply it to dry hair in a good light source to see it until it reaches a shade you like then wash it right away. Note that sulphate free shampoos and such don’t work. - wet or dry hair? I tried it on both but wet hair tends to look darker so it’s hard to know when to wash it off. Also anything you do to wet hair is more damaging as the hair follicle is open so you can’t comb the color through to get even results.

Oh my GOD - spent a fortune yesterday getting lightening foils to blend my grey hair after a bad, red brown dye job. Came home with ORANGE hair. Got told by a hairdresser that I was basically stuffed and the only thing was to go back and get very costly toning treatment. Tried this as I cannot cope with light orange hair with my skin tone. It was AMAZING. Have now made myself a wee kit to keep on top of the brassy colour. It will also keep my incoming greys looking a nice steel grey and not yellow and not ruin my natural dark brown hair. You have saved me a fortune and made my going grey process so much easier.

This comment might help someone. I had bleached highlights throughout my whole head, ranging from orange, yellow, and then banana yellow right around my face. I used this method kinda, but with a twist. I wanted to tone all 3 colors in my hair without messing this up, so here’s what I came up with. First, I mixed together my blue-black box dye (the color+the developer) (I used Revlon natural blue-black dye) , then I literally squirted out a tablespoon of it into a mixing bowl. To that, I added 1 1/2 cups of conditioner and a tablespoon of water. *optional* I added the tiniest dab of manic panic Violet to the mixture to help with my really blonde parts. (I decided to dilute the hell out of the blue box dye w/conditioner because I was taking noo chances lol. Plus, I had a whole head to tone, not just the ends of my hair...) I applied to dry hair with my hands very quickly starting with the darkest parts first, then did the banana yellow parts last. I kept an eye on it and ended up washing it out after 4 min. It really worked and I was def surprised. It gave my banana yellow a perfect ash blonde with the slightest undertone of grey. It cooled down the brassiness of the yellow and orange too. No complaints!

Who else also came here in 2024? 😭

Just tried this. My hair is naturally a 7 Dark Blond and I lighten it to 8 Medium Blond. It always picks up brassy tones and I have tried everything. I mixed this and poured it on my wet hair. I shampooed for about 1 minute and washed it all out. When I dried my hair it was very shiny and most of the brass tones were gone. I probably should have left it on a bit longer but was not so brave my first time. It did not make my hair darker. It just made it more a medium ash blond which is what I want. Thank you Angie! So clever!

This is one our old school stylists tricks. Back in the day we actually had to make our own color, meaning the weren’t pre calibrated like they are today. So when we would tone, we would put a dab of black in our formula and POW ! Perfect platinum. It’s a great method,thanks for reminding me!

This is the first video on RU-vid I’ve commented on in 15 years. Only to say THIS VIDEO IS EVERYTHING YOU NEED. I did just as directed but I did mine 2 min after I did a test strip because I had a lot of Orange. But now my hair is a beautiful ash brown blonde. THANK YOU SO MUCH

This is my holy grail!!!My hair started looking red and orange after 1 month of colouring and I tried this! OMGGGG!!This works magic! It takes away orange and red from hair! Now my hair is completely blond!! Thanks a lot for saving my hair!!!! So grateful to you!you are the bessstttt

I've tried this with Garnier's blue black hair dye on my level 6-8 asian bleached hair 3 times now and it looks soo good!. I left it in a bit longer than usual the last time and it came out almost grey in the lighter areas and ashy brown elsewhere and just soo nice. My only gripe is it doesn't last super long on the more orange areas but its easy to do and I dont wash my hair very often (2-3x/week) so it helps prolong the toning. Highly recommend everyone try it out!!

I have blonde& platinum highlights over dirty blonde natural hair. I tried this and it WORKS!! one thing she doesn’t mention is that you need to leave the color to develop fully before applying. I sectioned my hair, started my timer after my hair was fully covered and saturated. 1min 30 seconds before I rinsed. Amazing results!! Helped blend my roots too! Left my hair so soft and healthy feeling. Used L’Oréal dream lengths shampoo. I used 1 teaspoon of each in about 1/2 cup of shampoo.

THANK YOU ANGIE! At 65, I decided it was time to go blonde so I had my hair bleached and some parts of my hair (not the roots) came out orange. I was going to have it lightened again in a couple of weeks but found this video and thought I'd give it a try. I was VERY nervous and put it off for days. I'm so glad I plucked up the courage. I followed the directions and most of the orange is gone and I'm mostly left with a nice ashy blonde. Just a little orange tinge remains on the ends of my hair but I'm confident that another session will do the trick. If I'd used a bit more of the dye solution as instructed for orange hair, it probably would have been done and dusted in one session but I wanted to tread carefully. This is such a great trick and I'm very grateful that you shared it.

IT WORKED!!!! My hair went from ghetto to high street thanks to this method. But be careful! don't take to much of the dye and developer. Follow what she says in the comments. No more expensive toning that only lasts 3 weeks! This is revolutionary! 💗 Thank you Angie! 🥰

Everybody, this works!! Remember to double or triple the amount of the dyes whether you're toning orange or red tones respectively. The first time, it only half worked for me with some spots which stayed orange... That was because I didn't use enough dye!

I have been Colouring My Hair Since I was 13. I’m now 58 & “A Big Shout Out To Angie”. Thank You FINALLY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS ,”ANGIE TAUGHT ME SOMETHING MY HAIR NEEDED ! Lynn H.

This absolutely WORKS, do it exactly as she indicates. If you go a little bit more on the amount of hair dye yes it turns blue specially the more bleached highlights. With The amount she indicates is safe and effective. I overdid it with the amount, turned a bit blue but now it’s perfect after a few washes, orangy is gone.

Thank you! This works! If you’re thinking about trying it. DO IT! You won’t regret it. Turned my hair from orange to honey blonde. The color I was going for.

Hi hey girl I just want to say you're a genius! I've tried EVERYTHING imaginable to tone my red and orange brassy hair! I just happened upon your video while endlessly searching for a solution that works - it worked!! it is incredible - how in the world did you figure it out! Like you said, it's revolutionary - I cannot believe more people are not talking about it. Well, anyway, just wanted to say thank you. You're the best!

I did the old quarantine bleach job and became light orange. I’ve suffered for 3 weeks and put way too many other products on my hair. I tried toner and ash blonde hair color. I ordered Olaplex from Amazon and applied it for two hours to repair my hair. It worked too. I finally found this video on Friday and thank heaven above! I used Revlon Colorsilk with no ammonia Blue Black mixed with conditioner. Be very careful on how long you leave it on. Mine was about 1 minute 30 seconds. If you have long hair I would advise doing it in two stages so you don’t over color and make it too dark. Thank you so much to Angie for this! I know that hairstylists have done this in the past without telling me! It works so well!

Watched this like 5 times thinking no way.. went for it and it worked so so well. I have balayage that was slightly brassy now its back to salon quality just with this trick. Thanks for the hack, anyone watching that thinks its BS don't hesitate just try it and trust. But wash out almost as soon as its in your hair! :D

I usually don’t comment on videos but I tried this and it actually worked!! I dyed the tips of my hair with L’Oréal’s Bleach Colorista and it left my hair VERY orange so I decided to give this a go. I bought a cheap blue/black dye, did everything Angie said and wow, all the orange gone. Thank you, thank you, thank you! (To anyone in this situation or similar, try this, it works like a charm)

I just did this after watching this last night ... it worked!!! I’ve always fought brassiness and never can fight it properly! It actually turned my highlights the exact shade I’ve always wanted a very ashy-grayish with no brass and it blends with my natural silver strands! That’s what I’ve been striving for THANK YOU!!!! 🥰

THIS!!! I tried almost everything. Purple shampoo, blue shampoo.. but still warm/orange tones. I put the same amount you shown in my conditioner and left for 2-3 minutes. The results were amazing! FINALLY something that really works. Thanks 🙏🏼💜

GIVE THIS ANGEL MORE CREDIT! This fixed my ultra orange, newly bleached (asian) hair. I followed her instructions (pinned comment) exactly and left it on for about 2.5 minutes and it came out looking a lot more ashy/somewhat of a dark blonde. Obviously this wouldn’t turn your hair into that perfect ash brown/platinum colour but it definitely beats orange! Thank you so much for sharing this tip! Saved me money and embarrassment lol

You make more sense than anyone on this topic. Tired of wasting my time and money on toners, etc. You just have to use your head with this. Depends on how thick and long your hair is, plus how brassy it is! Just use a little and for a very short time to start, and work your way up. Thank you!!!

Holy crap this actually worked on my busted mess that I decided to bleach during quarantine. I was worried because this wasn't really a process video but I went for it anyways because it's cheap and I figured I could dye over it if it didn't turn out. So that you can understand where I was at - my hair was a CARROT orange all over. It's now a perfect blonde. The only thing was I had to do my roots a few times for some reason but I did it out of the shower and in my kitchen sink so that I could watch the progress. The box dye I used was nutrisse indigo I bought at Target. Thank you!!

It WORKED ! OMG you are a goddess!!! It worked , I spend all my life , trying to figure it out , and it worked. I used conditioner . Sending love and happiness and good vibes to you and lovely Egypt !!

It works!!!! I did it this morning and the horrible orange is gone! But you were right, I left it in for about 2 minutes and it was TOO long!!! Thank you so much!!!!! 💚💚💚💚💚💚

It would be so much fun if you showed before and after shots! 😩

I watch alot of RU-vid and this is the best advice I have gotten. I used it for grey-blending. Since I have been going grey, I have tried different levels of blonde and they always turn brassy quickly. You do have to be super super careful. I did a tes strand first. Then mixed a dime size of each bottle of the Colorsilk Blue Black and about 2-3Tblsp of shampoo and started at the scalp, then used water to mix it into the rest of my short hair, waited about 5 min, then washed out and I get a light chocolate color with greys looking like highlights. Easy, cheap, fast. Works for now at 46 yrs old.

You saved my life...I've tried so many ways, cost me a lot for all that stuffs but nothing seem worked, purple shampoo didnt work either toner. Then I came across your RU-vid video, I wish I knew this earlier. Can't thank you enough. Much love xxx

I cannot thank you enough. OMG, m hair is exactly how I wanted it!!! I have dark brown hair with balayaged dark blond ends, and I always wanted the ends to be near grey. I left the shampoo mix on it for 5 to 6 minutes, and the result is stunning! Very ashy, but just with color enough to be called brown! Amazing! My saviour :)

It worked!!! I fixed my own hair! Thank you! FYI my hair is light brown. I had dyed it light ash brown but it turned very brassy orange. I tried this with the blue black dye as instructed with a sulfate shampoo in dry hair for about three minutes. It took some brass out. The next night I used the same combination but left it on about six minutes and the two rounds really killed the brass! Do not mix developer with dye color until you mix it with the sulfate shampoo. From what I’ve read if you do not mix dye with developer, it lasts a while so I am saving it for another treatment if I start to get brassy in a few weeks. I was terrified to do this and watched this video about 100 times before I did it but so glad I did. I would be afraid if I were a blonde, but for brown hair or darker I think this will work. Good luck girls!

People it works!!!!! 😍I have long super thick brown hair with some mild highlights and my hair gets reddish/orangy super quick… dark brass… you know what I mean if you ever tried to have light brown highlights on brown hair. I mixed Schwarzkopf Blue Black color with normal Shampoo… put it on on a test strand and tadaa… after 3-4 minutes my brassy-brown hair turned suuuper ashy! Rinse with cold water! Use standard Black Blue color, cheap box dye. Be cautious don’t leave for long otherwise it will turn too ashy! Do this in day lights as you can see how far the color developed! Good luck ladies and fellas! Thanks Angie!!! You’re a lifesaver!!!!💐💐💐💐

I have dark blonde hair with bright blonde highlights and this trick 100% worked for me! It was extremely messy though and I stained my bathroom paint so make sure to prep your area really well before you start! Thanks so much ❤️

30 years !!! 30 years I’ve been wasting money on purple & blue toners. Hairdressers telling me I need to go every 6 weeks!! This is amazing. Thank you!! I did it twice because my hair was very orange, I also left it on for about 5 minutes the second time. My hair did go darker (because I left it on a while) but it’s a lovely ashy grey/blonde.

Love this amazing tip! Thanks Angie! I tried this after using purple shampoo, blue shampoo and ash blonde timers to no effect. I used your recipe but it didn’t take as much as I would have liked so after towel drying it off, I took a deep breath and just mixed up a small amount of colour (as though I was going to dye my hair black) and put it on the brassy (light orangey) top section of my hair. I left it on about 2 mins then washed it off. It worked a treat - turning the top half an ashy darker shade - almost like balayage - and it looks so so much better (like a natural slightly darker roots area). Very pleased. I would totally recommend this method - don’t be afraid to try it. The very little time it is on won’t turn your hair black or anything! Just keep checking every 30 seconds or so to see how it’s going. It 100% removes all orangey tones. Trust the very glamorous salons in the Middle East to do this “rinsage” method! Thank you Angie for putting this out there.

Thank you! This saved me from having to go to work with yellow/orange hair. I bought the blue/black dye and used the same amount as in the video and mixed with conditioner. Applied on dry hair and left it on for about 5 minutes before rinsing it out. It toned down all the brassiness, love my colour now!

Just used this the other day and just wanted to thank you so much for this secret. It worked with the shampoo, I did it a few times because I was too scared to leave it on too long 😅, but it worked like magic and my stylist thinks I had it toned at a different place, that’s how great this worked!

Absolute genius, I did this and my brassy tones are completely gone! I had to dip and then rinse a couple of times to get the desired tone, but it worked an absolute treat!

Thank you so much for sharing this life saver! I am into grey transition, so have 7 cm. grey hair and 30 cm blond colored hair. I did your trick with dye and conditioner, let it sit for 5 min. and it turned out fantastic. So happy with the result, have now a natural ashy result. Bless you.

I used a bleach highlighter and waited the entire 45 minutes and orange. I did not want to ruin my hair nor did I want to go out in public to purchase a fix! I mixed a Ash Brown cool tea 1 tablespoon color and one tablespoon of the developer to the shampoo and kept it on my dry hair for 10 minutes! It worked! I would refine the recipe to adding it to a sulfate free conditioner instead of a shampoo (I used OGX Argon Oil of Morocco Conditioner.) This is very good to refresher your color as well and so much less damaging. Thank you so much! Never buying toner again!!!

I just HAD to comment...THANK YOU! I changed the formula a bit. I used blue black hair dye. I used about 1/4 teaspoon of the developer and colour cream and mixed with about same amount of shampoo you used, but instead used conditioner. I did my roots first as they were the worst and warm brown. The ends were blonde. So on roots I left it about 5-10 min (I did a few tests to see how long) and the ends that were blonde I only lathered through and then rinsed. After washing my hair a couple times it's PERFECT ash toned.

OMG Angie, I'm so glad I decided to give this a try. Worked like magic on my waist-length stubborn brassy hair in under 2 minutes. I used Wella Koleston 2/8 + some random color developer I had at home, and now I have perfect cool blonde hair. This is a life-changing tip! Thank you so so much!

I just tried it . I went to get the same blue black hair dye she used . It toned down the orange hair !!! I will repeat the process if needed in the next few days . Wow , this is great ! thanks !!

This actually works very well !! Although I’m darkblonde and turned orange , luckely only at the roots, after I used a blonde 8.0 dye. I couldn’t find the 909 so I bought 101 perfect gloss which is a non permanent coloring and used that instead following the procedure you discriped and it turned out PERFECTLY!! I’m really happy with my haircolor now, beige blonde !!! Thanks so much for sharing this secret tip !!!

Omg! You are a genius!!! I just tried it on wet hair, in the shower, mixed with conditioner. Amazing! I'm speechless!

Thak you soo much Angie, I'm 51 and you taught me something new. This worked perfect. I used the cheap Revlon blue black dye and mixed with conditioner instead of shampoo. The ashey color that turned out was the best I've ever had. Once again thank you and bless you this will save me money and save my hair.

This is INCREDIBLE 100% approved, my hair was CARROT and its a honey gold now. It’s so beautiful thank u ❤️❤️❤️( I used 1 table spoon of dark blue l oreal,3 table spoon of head & shoulders and 2 tea spoon of water. Amazing.

The rinsage technique has been forever used in my home country, Lebanon. I was just yesterday hoping to know how to do it and I saw your video. THANK YOU

Thank you so much!! For the benefit of other readers, this works. I have (dyed) level 7 medium brown hair which had a lot of gold and red tones through it. I used the same brand of hair colour as you and the same amounts of colour and developer, mixed into about a cup of cheap conditioner. I washed my hair as usual and left the conditioner on wet hair for about 2 minutes. I used it with conditioner and wet hair as I was being cautious - my hair picks up green tones if I use any hair colour with ash in it, and I wanted to prevent this. This process has toned down both the red and gold colour, and left my hair a sandy coloured brown. The process hasn't added any darkness or depth of colour to my hair, it has only toned down the brassiness. My hair tends to fade to red and gold because I like to re-colour only the roots most of the time, to keep my hair as healthy as possible. I have just done this process to get rid of some of the brassiness before I re-colour my roots. I have a LOT of grey roots at the moment and this hasn't changed the colour of them at all. For anyone with very light blonde hair, I would definitely try this. If you are worried about doing it, just try it on a small section of hair underneath first. Given that it has not changed the colour of my greys, I think it will work for you. It is so quick, easy and cheap! Thank you again!!!!

I just tried this and it works!!! I applied mine on wet hair and just used my hands to rub it in and left it on for 3 minutes. It’s been able to kill the brasiness of my hair. Love this tip!!!

Just tried (almost) this. I used 4C on hair that is between 7 and 9 throughout the length with lots of orange and yellow, and worked really beautifully. So, yes, THANK YOU! Genius! Much better than all toners, masks and shampoos I've tried so far. Hair feels soft also, no extra damage. Used on wet hair for faster easier application.

I tried this on my lvl 6 bleached hair and it worked wonders!! Tysm for this video and I’m so glad I found it ❤ you helped me save a lot of money😭

Angie!! Thank you so so so much! You are brilliant!! I have been trying for 42 years to get this shade!! you are awesome! Spent thousands... now less than $5 and so many applications! Brilliant!

Brilliant! Thank you for this video! I just tried it last weekend and it worked perfectly! Just wondering how often should this be done? Thank you so much!!😊❤️

Did this tonight and I'm amazed! I was super quick with it because I was afraid of ruining all the progress I'd done lightening it but it made a huge difference. So grateful for this trick, thank you!

I cant believe how well this worked. This is such a easy fix, I wish had seen this video years ago.

I did this today. Had my hair professionally done in February and was in need of toning. My hair was getting very orangey. My hair is naturally dark black. I left it on longer than recommended though and repeated the process because the first time I left it for only a 1:30 mins and needed more. It cost me €7 vs €50 (what I usually pay for toning at the salon). Great alternative for temporary upkeep. I'll still go to the salon for professional service when I need a major touch up. Thank you so much for this video 🙏😊 my hair is acceptable again.

OMG OMG OMG... I really thought my hair had to be bananas yellow to have my dream silver hair.... I doubled... maybe tripled her example that she showed and put a ton of shampoo because I was terrified it would turn out dark... my hair was yellow, orange, and still had red in it... I followed her instructions and it did help but only worked on patches... I washed it out and recovered the darker redder spots... and so on... my hair went from orange to a NICE NICE silver... I love it.. thank you so much! (P.S. I had some leftover purple hair dye and added a little smidge to the concoction..)

Can you do a more in-depth tutorial on this?!

Blonde here. Took the plunge and tried it. IT WORKS!! How well it works depends on how much bleached hair you have and how long you leave it on your bleached bits. It DOES darken bleached blonde, so you gotta rinse out after 2-3 minutes! I bought a $2.50 box of Revlon Blue Black dye, I mix up a spoonful of dye, then mix that with my shampoo. My hair is waist-length, I cake quite a lot of it on my roots, and lather downward. My hair was bleached but it's halfway grown out. So I don't lather it much on my bleached ends. My hair was a brassy mess from dying it light blonde for years. I'd been toning with violet Punky hair dye without ever getting the ashy hair color I wanted. The black hair dye gets that result! Currently I'm toning with a scoop of Blue/Black, scoop of violet Punky, and a drop of ION Blue Ash intensifier. This mix creates perfect dark Ash Blonde/ light Ash Brown, costs pennies, and is super gentle on my long thin hair. Cheap Easy Secret was Right. You Rock Angie!!

to anyone reading this: this is the answer to your carrot-top orange bleached hair problems! it worked amazingly well! i did not use exact measurements but kept to approximately angie’s 3:1 shampoo to dye ratio with a splash of water and it really worked to transform my hair into the ash color i was looking for. for anyone curious i used garnier’s blue black dye and a normal shampoo! thank you so much for this video for saving me from my own quarantine mishaps

The heavens just parted and the angels started singing as you revealed the hair gods secret! This will come in so handy! So awesome Thank you!

I had a lot of color in my hair. So I bleached them to take all the color out. With L’Oréal permanent treatment no 5AB mocha ash brown my tones did come orangey red. And I wanted it to go away. This was amazing! The technique worked beautifully to take out all the brassy red color and left my hair beautiful ash brown ♥️♥️♥️ Thankyou so much for sharing!

This really works! I searched for a dark orange fix and this trick provided! My hair was complicated to fix, I'm a natural brown/chestnut with highlights done 8 months ago, used a blonde from L'Oreal that turned my natural hair caramel/red and it wasn't awful , but it just didn't suit me. So I had highlights that I wanted to keep and orange that had to go. I got a blue black from L'Oreal, mixed all of it, not knowing how much I will need, got a conditioner from L'Oreal, since I didn't wanna waste mine. First I added about a table spoon of dye and 3 of conditioner, applied quickly on all the hair, left around 3-4 minutes and rinsed. It was far from being perfect but it did something. OBVIOUSLY not all hair is the same. I mixed about the same proportions again, applied just on the roots and just waited and looked in the mirror for the right shade, color. I think it took around 5-10 minutes and PURE DYE added on top of the mixture on my head to get rid of that reddish color. Some of my highlight are greyish silver now, but it looks great! This fix actually works, it wont stain your hair in just 2-3 minutes. Don't be afraid to reapply and play with concentration if the orange doesn't go away the first time. If you have highlights it might make them grey if you leave it for too long, but 2 minutes won't ruin your hair! Promise! Good luck! P.S.: I really wanted my roots to also be a bit darker, thus the undiluted dye added. Overall I am really happy with the results!

OMG, this is amazing! I have at home some professional hair colours/toners and a developer, but was using way more of it than I needed. This secret saves your time, hair and money - I love it! Thank you for sharing 😚

It made wonders to my hair!! Finally I reached the color of my dreams in the easiest cheapest way ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Girls! It works perfectly.. you all have to try it!! 😍😍😍😍

This really worked well on my hair. I did it twice. First time on dry hair and waited 2 minutes but there wasn't that much of a change so I did it the second time on wet hair staight after for 5 minutes. Orange and red completely gone. Thank you

Thank you thank you thank you! You don’t even know( or maybe you do) the aggravation of having dark hair and getting highlights and them always turning out orange and never pretty!!!! I just did this and it’s the easiest thing to do and worked perfectly!!!!!

GIRLLLLLL THIS IS LITERALLY LIFE CHANGING!!!!!!!

This “trick” saved my sanity! Natural hair color is medium ash brown with gray/white mixed in. Stopped dying my hair the warm chocolate/caramel color 8 months ago to grow out my natural color. The bottom five inches of my hair were bright/brassy orange and I was wearing my hair in buns & ponies for months since my hair looked gross. since I have very thick, medium length hair, I quadrupled the recipe of toner and dye and added two small travel size bottles of shampoo. I managed to have enough to cover my entire head and I left it on about 10 to 12 minutes after finishing the top layer. I was extremely nervous and didn’t want to overdo it, but I am happy with the results. The brassiness is gone and the line of demarcation between my natural and the orange is practically invisible. My gray/white hairs are a tint of gray/blue, but look fine. The next time I do this, I will definitely leave it on for about 15 minutes or so, especially on the top layer ends as they are not as processed as the underneath. Thank you for this tutorial!!!!

I tried also with the same brand as Angie "Palette Blue Black dye" on yellow & brassy dry hair and it works WONDERS! BUT you have to be EXTREMELY CAREFUL not leaving it too long because the hair could turn GREENISH or an undesired colour. It's better to first try with very small amount or only a strand and wash it immediately and repeat if needed. Thanks for this useful tip!!! 😊

wow you need to make an update video of this, please! I´m happy I´m not the only one experimenting with her hair during the quarantine, watching videos with carrot hair lol Stay safe!

This totally works. Start small and if it doesn’t work don’t it again and use a little more and leave it in a little longer. I’m very happy I found this video.

Omg so I tried it. Why on earth did I not know this before. I was struggling with blue shampoo. It dripped and caused blue greasy buildup on my scalp. So I bought Syoss midnight blue and made the shampoo, applied to dry hair for two minutes and rinsed. Tip, add a lot of shampoo to the mixture because dry hair is harder to lather in. Mix it well and let it develop into a very dark blue. When I dried my hair I couldn't believe it. My hair is so so ashy. A tiny bit darker too but I love that because that looks fresh and it's summer, my hair was getting too glassy. I love love love this, it saves me so much money on Fanola orders. I even consider throwing out the Fanola. It makes my hair too dry and the effect is not great. Thank you thank you thank you a million times!

Wow you’re brilliant this actually worked 😭 I just saved $80 and only spent like $8

Thank you for the tip. How exactly do you apply it to the hair? Like a shampoo or like a hair colour?

I did try this tonight and it does get rid of the brassiness. You just have to be careful not to put too much of the dye when mixing with the shampoo. If you do that you will see green blueish tone. This works better then blue shampoo. Also I tried it on a strip before doing it all over. Once when you put it on wash it out immediately cause it turns the brassiness down fast.

This works WONDERS! I just tried this method and am in LOVE with the results. Thank you for sharing Angie!!

THIS WORKS! THANK YOU ANGIE ANGEL! Greetings from Australia. Hope you, everyone and their loved ones are keeping safe and as well as can be over this Covid-19 period. I follow your clear instructions like you say in your video. I wear gloves to avoid finger staining. I am so happy with the Ash Tone results I get every time I do this process. After drying my hair it looks like... WOW! That's the best word to describe it. Thanks to you Angie for sharing "the secret" and enlightening me and anyone else who is fortunate enough to come by your video. xo

I did it and it works, it’s been almost a week and it washed out to ashy blonde. Thank you 😊

For all those blondes out there who have brassy yellow blonde hair I would recommend the same technique just use medium brown hair dye - but the dye must include purple undertone. After you apply it rinse it out right away and you will be left with beautiful cool blonde.

Hello Angie, I am from Egypt and I've never known the secret behind the rensage! I've paid a lot to change my brassy hair color at salons and never noticed their secret! Thank you soooo much..will try it ,hope it works with me!

This worked great! I have long dark brown hair that has been highlighted, bleached, dyed red, and toned a ton of times over the last few years. Now I am growing my grey hair out and as it grows in you can see the cool dark brown of my natural color. The brassy orange of my formally dyed hair was driving me nuts. So I followed this video, purchased a "Black Indigo" dye and a sulfate free shampoo (the brand she shows in the video) just at the drugstore. I used about three(mainly because my hair was dark orange red and long) dollops/swipes like she shows of the color and then three dollops of the developer, mixed in about 2/3 cup of shampoo. I started on my ends because they bothered me the most, then worked my way up. This way was great because I didn't have to cover my natural color at the top. I had my phone stopwatch going and made sure to wash it out before it hit the 2 minute mark (1:44). I rinsed out with cool water and then applied the conditioner that came with the dye. I let that sit for 2-3 minutes and then rinsed and air dried. It's perfect. I was prepared for a big oops that would lead to black hair, but no. It's a lovely dark ash/mushroom brown that resembles my natural cool tone brown hair. I will maintain it with blue conditioner and saved the rest of the box for the next touch up. Thank you so much!!!!

Thank you, I got my hair toned yesterday and couldn’t believe I was charged 36 dollars for it! And it didn’t really make a difference. Can’t wait to try your hack.

Thank you for posting this Angie! This saved my hair! I went from pumpkin orange to a dark blonde with gold undertones (I plan to do this one more time). After I left the dye-developer-shampoo mixture to develop it turned into a navy blue. I was hesitant to use it but I’m glad I did. I left it in my hair for two minutes and rinsed it out. Now my hair looks a lot more natural :) for the record: I have very thick shoulder length hair that’s naturally dark brown.

I’m a stylist, discovered this years ago, you are absolutely correct, however some want a little brighter result as this can be slightly sterling matte! However it can render an absolutely breathtaking result!!

It worked super fine! Mixed with hair conditioner and kept maybe 2 minutes, hair is toned perfectly and just a liiitle bit darker

Instead of using shampoo can you use conditioner? Why or why not? How long does the toning effect last, before you have to do it again?

This is the best advice I've ever seen! So quick and easy...who would have thought! Worked for me from the first time and I'm amazed. Might need to add some violet pigment, for my hair was not only brassy, but also a bit green-ish. But overall result is awesome! Thanks a lot!

You guys, this WORKS!! I’ve had orange hair since trying quarantine highlights fail(!) and did her toner trick- since there is barely any in the uk that i can find and it worked a charm! All i did a bit differently was keep the product in a bit longer since my hair was darker orange and now busted highlights are a nice ashy brown!!!! LOVE!!!!

Do you add the developer with the dye? Or just the straight dye. Thank you for all your comments. Haven't done it yet. This looks so promising!!

This really works!!!! I tried it today! My highlights have gone from orange to ashy! I’ve tried a lot of purple shampoos but they give me little to no results. This works like a charm. Thanksss!

“A spit” of the dye. Lol. Love that description!

Why blue black hair dye and not blue hair dye? I’m asking cause I’m curious will it give me a different result ?

Thank god I found you. I have jet black hair to go blonde is a struggle and I’ve tried everything and nothing really worked. And I didn’t want to damage my hair too much either. And let me tell you I hope u can see this because u saved my hair. Thank u so much for sharing ❤️

This is nuts. Totally worked. Love it better than salon toners I pay a fortune for! So awesome. Thanks!

I pay a hairdresser or colorist an enormous amount of money just to have it be pretty much the same color. I am excited about trying this. I really hope it works. I am really tired of having orange hair.

Omg, I have two types of orange in my hair, and I don’t have a cheap blue black dye, so I mixed equal parts of blue and black, and it came out perfect on the lighter ends, but had to leave it on the upper parts that were really dark orange for longer, but I am very thankful to Allah and you, as this not only saves my hair color, but it saves my hair, as now I don’t need to bleach it again to get it light enough and damaged enough, to use a toner, and going forward I don’t plan on bleaching it any longer than the original 35 minutes I did to get this orange. I’ve damaged my hair so bad in the past, I have learned to live with orange hair for many months becoming panicky and then dying it black cherry. I’m not gonna do anything different this time as I like my hair not becoming so damaged yet I am achieving the same results using this method, please keep sharing things like this.

This video has saved my life!! Really!! I used it today it worked like magic! Thanks Angie 😘😘
