Ugly Duckling Light Cold Ash Blonde 8.1b is a permanent cream color with a blue ash base. It cancels unwanted orange and leaves a cool, natural-looking ash blonde at level 8. 3.5 oz (100 g).

Blue-based ash pigments neutralize unwanted yellowness. The color lifts the hair by approximately 1 level using 20 Vol, and Argan Oil gives ultra-conditioning.

Use it on yellow hair at level 7–8.

Mix 1:1 with 20 Vol developer. Apply to the parts that need coloring the most first, then extend to the rest of the hair, making sure it is well saturated. Development time is 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse and towel dry.

The result is a stunning pure blonde. For professional use.

Extra large professional 3.5 oz (100 g) tube. Paraben-free.

Step 3
Apply to the parts that need coloring the most first. Then extend to the rest of the hair.

Pro tip
This color will cancel most unwanted orange tones. However, in the case of very orange hair add in one inch of Ash Blue Additive into your mix for best results.

Fricken awesome!
NO OTHER TONER that I ever used got rid of orange like this. And I tried T14, T18, Redken, Shwarkof, Sally Ions - all of them! Gonna stick to this from now on.

I've tried Swartzkoff, and Wella 14 and 18, and many others. Only Ugly Duckling has provided the toner that takes the red/gold out of my light blonde hair.
