Lightener vs Toner

20180309_180713.jpg

Quick PSA:

No amount of toner will make up for not letting lightener process long enough.

Toner is not designed to lighten, it is designed to cancel out unwanted tones.

Lightener lightens.

If you do not wait patiently for your lightener to reach the required level then your toner will just make you feel darker or worse, turn you gold later when you try to remove it to go lighter.

Just sit patiently. Trust us.

Braids with Olaplex…

One of my favorite things to do after a heavy color or lightener session is to take braiding hair and style the hair like this. Instead of using gel to keep the natural hair slicked, I use a mixture of Olaplex and deep conditioners to seal the hair and heal potential damage. This gives us a little more time before the first heat styling session and allows the moisture from the conditioners to really sink in.
