Most people know that leaving a Wella toner on for too long can result in unwanted damage, but how long is too long?
And how do you know when the toner has been left on long enough? This article will explore the answers to those questions and more.
What is Wella t18 toner?
Wella T18 toner is a product that can be used to help give your hair a more even, natural-looking tone.
It is available in both liquid and cream form, and can be applied either at home or in a salon.
This type of toner can be particularly helpful if you have highlights or other lightened areas in your hair that you would like to blend in better with your natural color.
Wella T18 is part of the Color Charm range from Wella. Wella T18 toner is also ammonia-free, which means it won’t dry out your hair or cause any damage.
Wella T18 toner is available in both liquid and gel form. The liquid form is more concentrated and should be used for touch-ups or when trying to achieve a very light shade of blond.
The gel form is less concentrated and can be used for all-over color or for creating streaks and highlights.
It can be used on its own or mixed with other hair color products to create custom hair color results.
Wella T18 is suitable for use on all hair types, but it works best on bleached or lightened hair.
How long to leave Wella t18 toner on?
So how long do you leave Wella toner on?
Wella T18 Toner should be left on hair for up to 30 minutes. However, it is important to check the hair frequently to ensure that the desired color result is achieved. For lighter hair, leave on Wella toner for approximately 20 minutes. For darker hair, leave the toner on for up to 30 minutes.
Timing will vary depending on the individual’s hair type and desired results.
It is always best to err on the side of caution when using hair toner. If the hair becomes too light, simply shampoo and condition the hair to remove the excess toner.
For best results, a heat source should be used during the processing time, such as a hairdryer set to its lowest setting or a warm towel wrapped around the head.
Wella T18 toner can be mixed with other hair color products to create custom hair color results.
For example, it can be mixed with Wella Color Charm Activating Lotion to create a lighter shade of blond.
It can also be mixed with other Wella toners, such as Wella T14 or Wella T28, to create different shades of blond.
Factors that affect Wella t18 processing times
We took apart how long to leave Wella t14 toner on, but what factors are involved in increasing this time?
How brassy or warm your hair is
If you have brassy or warm hair, you may find that it takes longer for the Wella T18 toner to work.
This is because the toner is trying to counteract the warmer tones in your hair, and it can take a bit longer to achieve the desired results.
If you have very brassy hair, you may want to leave the toner on for a bit longer than the recommended time to make sure that it takes effect.
The health of your hair
If your hair is healthy, it will likely take less time for the Wella T18 toner to work its magic. This is because healthy hair can more easily absorb the toner and achieve the desired results.
If your hair is damaged or unhealthy, it may take longer for the toner to take effect, as damaged hair can be harder for the product to penetrate.
The porosity of your hair
Hair porosity is another factor that can affect how long it takes for a toner to work. If your hair is highly porous, it may absorb the toner more quickly and show results faster.
On the other hand, if your hair is low porosity, it may take longer for the toner to be absorbed and take effect.
The length of your hair
The length of your hair can also affect the processing time of Wella t18. If you have very long hair, it will take longer to process than if you have short hair.
Is Wella t18 toner bad for hair?
There is no definitive answer to this question as the effects of Wella T18 toner on hair will vary from person to person.
Some people may find that the toner leaves their hair looking and feeling healthy and shiny, while others may experience dryness or other adverse effects.
But usually, Wella t18 toner is not bad for your hair. In fact, it can actually help to improve the health of your hair and make it look shinier and more vibrant.
However, it is important to use this product correctly in order to avoid damaging your hair. Be sure to follow the instructions on the package carefully and only use the recommended amount of product.
Also, be sure to rinse your hair thoroughly after using this product. If you do experience any adverse effects from using Wella t18 toner, discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor or dermatologist.
If you are considering using Wella T18 toner, it is recommended that you do a strand test prior to the full application to assess how your hair will react.
