Imagine you've spent over a year trying to find the perfect hair colour that tones your hair the perfect shade of silver. Now imagine my excitement at finally finding it.
Here it is, in all its grey glory-ness.
I'm forever trying to find the perfect hair toner for my silver hair and I think I may have found it. I've had silver hair on and off for a long time now and I always find that many silver toners on the market are great at reducing the yellow tones in blonde hair, but not so great at toning it to a desired grey shade.
Shades London is a brand new range of semi-permanent hair toners which are available in Savers for just £3.99. Choose from Pink Candy, Lilac Haze or Silver Lining; giving up to 5 applications per box and lasting up to 10 washes.
I was a little bit apprehensive when I first applied the toner to my hair, as it's a very blue based formulation. I was scared my hair would turn blue which has happened before and it's been a challenge to remove the staining. Usually most hair toners are quite purple based, but I gave it a try anyway and hoped for the best! Here are the results after leaving it on for 15-20 minutes to develop.
I'm pleased to say that the result is a blue toned grey which I absolutely love and think suits my skin tone much better than the lilac-grey toners I usually use. It's still going strong after 4 washes too which is amazing because toners usually need topping up after just one wash.
No mess. No commitment. No damage to your hair and you can chop and change colours pretty much every month if you fancy. There are so many benefits to semi-permanent hair toners.
I'm really excited about this brand and will definitely be checking out the other two fun shades for the Summer. It'll also be interesting to see whether they bring out any other funky shades too!

ReplyDeleteThis sounds great! I find it so hard to keep up with my hair grey at the moment and I'm sick of using the same dyes. I'm going to try and find this near me to try! XO

ReplyDeleteThis colour looks amazing on you, sounds like an awesome toner! x
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing! Love the result and the price of the product too.
ReplyDeleteI love the colour and can't wait to purchase it. I have blonde hair recently highlighted about two weeks ago and would like a silvery tone. How Do I use this and how much? This is scary for me x help
ReplyDeleteJust pop it on your hair and leave it for 15 minutes and it will tone the blonde in your hair. It's not too expensive. I think it's around £4-5 from Superdrug :)
DeleteHi all ! I've been using this for a while now and it's fantastic. Have the colour silver and i get that platinum/ grey finish that's in right now. Fantastic product thank you.
ReplyDeleteSo glad it worked for you Elaine. That's great news! :)
Deletedo you shampoo hair first then put it on towel dried hair or do you apply to dry hair?
ReplyDeleteThis product seems like a dream, but I can't find it online! Would you be able to provide me with a link? Thanks so much!!
ReplyDeletei also use it and its great best i have used yet tried the jerome russell ones but they didnt cover as well
ReplyDeleteI'm new to the hair dye scene...Im naturally dark brunette and have had my hair bleached ombré style. Can I now use this toner mixed with the lilac to get a lilac/silver/grey colour? What's the difference between dye and toner?
