Bleach and Toner - Before And After
Bleach and Toner - Before And After
Looking for a Toner That Will Take Out Yellowness and Brassiness? Here's What You Need to Do!
STEP 1 - LIFTING THE BASE
- First you need to lift any part of the hair that is too dark to a level 9 first.
- In both the cases above the client had regrowth that needed lifting.
- We used Brilliant Blonde Lightener with 30 Vol, as the extent of lifting required was more than 3 levels.
- Make a mix of 1 part lightener to 2 parts developer and really saturate the dark hair if you need a strong lift.
- Start applying at the back first.
- After application with a brush, do a second application. Try and get as much product onto the hair as possible.
- The place where you need to be extra careful is near the scalp. Apply near the scalp area the very last.
- The heat from the scalp accelerates the lifting, so you need to apply there at the end.
- Rinse as soon as the hair on the scalp has lifted to the correct level.
- Watch hair as it lifts and rinse only when it gets to at near level 10: a very pale yellow color - see below.
- If the product has dried out on the hair or if 30 minutes has elapsed and you have still not reached level 10, you need to rinse off and repeat the process with a fresh mix.
- When doing so, bump down the developer strength by one level (eg if you were using 30 Vol, this time use 20 Vol)
STEP 2 - TONING
- Choose your toner from the Ugly Duckling toners below.
- Ugly Duckling toners are very fast acting, and typically neutralize in around 10 minutes.
- Use with 10 or 20 Vol developer.
- Apply on towel dried hair. It can be still wet. Just make sure there is no excess moisture.
- Mix 1 part of your chosen Ugly Duckling toner with 2 parts 10 or 20 Vol developer.
- Only use 10 Vol developer if you have successfully lifted hair to a level 10.
- Otherwise use 20 Vol, you will get better release of yellow pigments and better toning that way.
- Section the hair starting from the back, using fine sections and apply quickly because the toner works fast and you want to give your whole head an even processing time.
- Leave out the last inch nearest the roots when you apply, and return to this section at the end (hair processes faster on the root area).
- As you apply, you will see the hair turn grey with a purple hue. This is normal, this shows that the toner is doing its job of neutralizing yellow and brassiness.
- Normally 10-15 minutes is enough. Once again, remember to watch the roots in particular carefully.
WHICH UGLY DUCKLING TONER?
- Ugly Duckling has 2 types of toners: Intense Toners and No-lift toners.
- If this is a first time toning and your hair is pretty brassy, we recommend the Intense Toners as they contain extra boost which releases yellow from your brassy hair.
- If it is a repeat application or you are confident that you have lifted properly to pale yellow, use the No-Lift Toners
- Also, if you have low lights that you wish to keep, use the No-Lift Toners.
Intense Silver Blonde Toner 100.20
Intense Pearl Blonde Toner 100.21
Silver Blonde Toner (No-Lift)
Pearl Blonde Toner (No-Lift)
What the hair looks like when toner has been applied
STEP 3 - RINSE WITH PURPLE SHAMPOO & MASK
- Rinse hair with Purple Shampoo, massaging thoroughly for 5 minutes as you do.
- Then apply Purple Mask.
- Leave the mask in the hair for 10 minutes.
- Ugly Duckling's Purple Shampoo and Mask contain very intense pigments.
- These will neutralize any remaining yellow and take your hair to ultra white blonde.
- They are also low pH and will help to close the hair cuticle after the lightening and toning process.

What is color cleansing?
Color Cleansing generally refers to the very mildest form of color removal. It generally involves the use of bleach with shampoo.
In order to do color cleansing, mix equal parts of bleach, 10 Vol Developer and shampoo and warm water. Massage in at the back bar and leave it to process 20 – 30 minutes, Then rinse. Color cleaning is a relatively light process and can be done to remove some color build-up or for tone correction.
It can be used for removing small amounts of color and for tone correction (going from warm to cold).
What is color stripping?
Color stripping is the term used for a stronger color removal processes. This is required to remove a significant color build up. Here one typically uses Bleach + 30 Vol developer and one normally leaves it on for 20 minutes or longer.
I have already colored my hair very dark. How do I get rid of my hair color?
If you have colored your hair either dark or in a very vibrant reflect you will need to do color stripping. You can use Ugly Duckling Brilliant Blonde with 20 Vol. as a color stripper.
How about if I have used some very bold colors. Can I use bleach to color strip this?
Yes, you can. For more severe build-up, you will need to use a stronger mixture. In this case, use bleach +with 30 Vol and develop for 15-20 minutes.
If you still have not removed the build up after 25 minutes, wash off and repeat.
I have color build up on my mid lengths but my regrowth is virgin hair. What should I do?
In order to get a uniform color result, there are no short cuts: your entire head must be at the same level before you start coloring, otherwise you will get color bars. So you need to take care of your build up first with a color stripping operation specifically on the part with the build up.
In order to avoid visible lines of demarcation, it is recommended to brush through the bleach mix right through the rest of the hair in the final 10 minutes. Then start the color process on the full head.

— Facebook Customer ReviewWhen Coloring Lighter
Case (A) Dark Regrowth, Pre-lightened Ends. Color Correction by Elona Taki.
Our client came in with a very dark regrowth area, mid-lengths which were rather brassy, and ends which were more white.
So we need to lift the roots and mid-lengths in order to equalize them with the lengths.
- We used Brilliant Blonde and 30 Vol Developer to do the lifting.
- We applied first on the re-growth, gave it 5 minutes, then applied on the mid-length.
- We tapered with the dye brush to avoid any visible demarcation mark.
Once we had lifted the regrowth and the brassy mid-lengths, we were then ready to apply toner.
We applied Intense Pearl Blonde 100.21 + 10 Vol Developer to tone the entire hair.
Case (B) Roots Pre-Lightened 1 Level Lighter than Ends. Color Correction by Brittney Perez.
- In this case, after pre-lightening, our client's hair was actually lighter at the root area. This can happen.
- So when toning, we applied toner first to the lengths, then returned to the roots later, as shown in the picture below:
When Coloring Darker
- When going darker, start with the roots and then do the mid lengths and ends. This is the simplest type of coloring.
Recommended Products:
- For going darker, or level-on-level, choose from Ugly Duckling's Permanent Color Range.
- For lifting regrowth by 3 levels or more, use Brilliant Blonde or High-Lift Blonde 100.
- For toning the entire head light ash blonde, use any of Ugly Duckling's toners:

[meta_description] => [meta_keywords] => [content] =>
How do I Stop Brassiness on Dark Hair?
- Brassiness is not just a problem for blondes.
- It can be a real challenge on dark bases, Typically when stylists try and put in highlights, the result is very orange, very brassy.
- To neutralize hair color at this level, we recommend that you use Ugly Duckling's Ash Grey Additive. or Ash Blue Additive
- This product contains some unique and proprietary pigments which act to counteract the orange on very dark hair.
How To Use Ash Grey Additive or Ash Blue Additive:
- Squeeze in Ash Grey Additive or Ash Blue Additive along with your chosen color.
- About 1/3 of the additive to 2/3 of the chosen color would be the right proportion. but you can vary this as you get experience using the additive on your hair.
- Add developer. Process 30 minutes and rinse.
- If your hair color is 6 or below, it is better to use Ash Grey Additive (it contains green which neutralizes orange)
- If your hair color is 7 or above, it is better to use Ash Blue Additive ( it contains blue which neutralizes yellow)
In This Coloring Tutorial by Elona Taki, 4.11 and Ash Grey Additive was mixed to counteract brassiness and produce a rich, intense dark brown color result.
Before: Orange and Brassy
Apply 4.11 and Ash Grey Additive. Processing:
After:
1. Do A Proper Color Consultation
Check your client's hair and make a call what percentage of grey hair she has. Make an assessment of her natural hair color level and the thickness/coarseness of her hair.
Generally speaking, the more white hair she has, the darker her natural hair color level, and the thicker or coarser her hair, the more challenging it is going to be to get the perfect grey hair coverage.
Your assessment of the above will determine whether you cover with a
- a regular color
- a base shade
- an extra coverage shade
- mix of regular plus base
- mix of regular plus extra coverage.
2. Which products do I use for Grey Hair Coverage?
If you client has 25% grey hair or less, you can use any regular color provided it is within 3 levels of your client's natural hair color. Mix with 20 Vol developer, and apply. If you want to lighten by more than 3 levels and then cover, you will have to prelighten using a lightener such as Brilliant Blonde.
3. Rules for Mixing in Some Base
If your customer has significant grey hair, you need to mix in some base corresponding to the hair color level that your customer wants.
Say for example, that your customer has grey hair, her natural hair level is 5 and she wants her hair colored 6G.
You will need to mix some 6N in with the 6G to guarantee a perfect grey hair coverage.
How much of the base do you need to mix in?
- If your customer has 25% grey hair, mix in 25% of base with 75% of the desired hair color.
- If your customer has 50% grey hair, mix in 50% of base with 50% of the desired hair color.
- If your customer has 75% grey hair, mix in 75% of base with 25% of the desired hair color.
- If your customer has 100% grey hair, you will need to use only the base color.
4. Rules For Very Resistant Grey Hair
If your customer has very resistant grey hair, if she has very thick hair (Latino, Indian, Asian etc) we would recommend that you use the Ugly Duckling Extra Coverage Series ("NN") instead of the base shades. These colors can be mixed in with fashion color according to the ratios given above.
5. Development Times
To be extra sure of getting a very strong degree of grey hair coverage, extend the development time by 10 minutes, so 40 minutes instead of 30 minutes. Then emulsify and rinse in the usual way.
6. Some Reflects Cover Better Than Others
Certain reflects do cover grey hair better than others. In addition to the base shades and the extra coverage shades, Ugly Duckling’s Br (.7) series, G series (.3) and GA (.31) series are all very good at covering grey hair.
To purchase base shades, extra coverage shades and other shades, please visit our shop-now page.

[meta_description] => Ugly Duckling Color Technology Explained [meta_keywords] => Ugly Duckling hair color,permanent,oxydative dyes,paraben free,ammonia [content] =>What does Ugly Duckling Hair Color consist of?
- Ugly Duckling hair color is a permanent, or oxidative hair dye with a low ammonia base. Coloring with Ugly Duckling involves 2 ingredients:
- Color, which comes in a cream form in a 3.5 oz tube
- Cream developer, which comes in a 33 oz bottle.
- When you mix the 2 ingredients together and apply it on the hair, you open the hair cuticle, take out the melanin (the hair’s natural coloring) from the cortex and you add in composite color molecules.
- We also add in Argan Oil.
- We are also progressively adding in lanolin extract to all our permanent dyes to provide for a more comfortable, "silkier", coloring experience on the scalp.
How much ammonia actually exists in Ugly Duckling’s low ammonia formulations?
- All Ugly Duckling color formulations are low ammonia formulations, whether they are dark or light.
- To give an example, Ugly Duckling hair colors on level 1-2 have ammonia concentrations of 1-2% only.
- For the Ugly Duckling high lift colors, the ammonia concentration is a little higher, but even so the ammonia concentration is only around 3%. In other words, very very low.
- On shades level 6 and lower, we are in the process of partially replacing ammonia with Ethanolamine. Once again, this is in order to offer the consumer the lowest ammonia concentration.
Is it true that Ugly Duckling hair colors are more vibrant than most?
Yes, it is true. When developing the Ugly Duckling color range, we put in specific pigments to ensure greater vibrancy and long-lastingness. We also developed specific statistical testing methods to test color vibrancy and we benchmarked our colors shade versus shade against not just American, but also European and Japanese competition. And not just on Caucasian, but also Asian and African American hair.
Our hair color technology is called Tru-Color Technology. This technology is your guarantee of accurate and precise coloring results every time. We know how important this is for a hairdresser.
- We test our hair colors continuously against competition and we do sometimes tweak our hair colors to improve their performance. We are the only company that does this on an on-going basis.
- For example, we are currently in the process of reinforcing our coppers to produce a more vibrant color.
- So if you feel that there is a color or coverage deficit on any of our colors, we would be most happy to hear from you. Please supply us with details, especially the shade of the competitor which performs better and we will check it out, test it and reformulate it.
Is it true that Ugly Duckling Hair Color is paraben-free?
- Yes, it is true. The vast majority of professional hair colorants from major brands contain parabens. Ours do not.
What is the Difference Between Permanent and Demi-Permanent hair color?
- Permanent hair color and demi-permanent hair color both belong to the class of hair color known as oxidative dyes. These dyes work through a combination of pigments, a developer, (otherwise known as an oxidizer) and an alkali base.
- This alkali base is ammonia in the case of permanent hair color and is ethanolamine in the case of demi-permanent hair colors. The alkali’s function is to open up the hair cuticle.
- Ammonia is the more effective of the 2 in terms of opening up the hair cuticle but has a stronger smell. Ethanolamine opens up the cuticle a little less, but smells more pleasant.
- Both permanent and demi-permanent hair color work in essentially the same way. The hair cuticle opens up when it reacts to the alkali base, the hydrogen peroxide helps to lift out some of the natural pigments, and color molecules are then deposited in their place.
- When the hair is washed with an acidic shampoo, the cuticles re-close and the hair returns to its original form.
Is Ugly Duckling Hair Color Permanent or Demi-Permanent?
- Permanent. But we do add some ethanolamine into some of our permanent color in order to improve the cosmeticity and improve the smell.
Isn’t Demi-Permanent Supposed to be Better for the Hair than Permanent Hair Color?
- It is true that demi-permanent dyes open up the cuticle a little less than permanent dyes.
- However, the flip side is that demi-permanent colors tend to be less vibrant and may cover grey less well.
- Also, it is important to note that permanent dyes, when formulated the way that we formulate them at Ugly Duckling deliver Argan Oil and other essential conditioning agents right into the cortex during the coloring process. So, we color and condition at the same time.
What Are the Advantages of Permanent Hair Color?
The advantages of permanent hair color from a stylist’s point of view are the following:
- Great range and choice of color.
- Ability to go much lighter.
- Ability to mix colors to produce creative and innovative effects.
- Ease of Color Matching
- Perfect Grey Hair Coverage.Colors that last a long time
What Are the Advantages of Demi-Permanent Hair Color?
The advantages of demi-permanent hair color are:
- Open the cuticle less, deposit color only.
- Decent grey hair coverage.
- Gradual Fade-out only after 6-8 weeks.
What About Semi-Permanent Dyes? How do They Work?
- Semi-permanent Dyes, otherwise known as Direct Dyes deposit pigments directly onto the surface of the hair.
- You do not need to mix these dyes with developer.
- They can produce vibrant color results, but they typically last less long on the hair as compared to permanent and demi-permanent hair dyes.
What About Hair Bleach? How Does it Work?
- Hair Bleach removes color from the hair through the process of oxidation. This processes basically removes all the color pigments from the hair, which is why bleach can turn your hair completely white if left in long enough.
Can Hair Color Provoke an Allergic Reaction?
- According to studies, the vast majority (more than 98%) of women do not react to hair dyes.
- For some rare women, however, the PPD (or paraphenylenediamine) or its close cousin PTD (or paratoluenediamines) present in hair dyes may provoke an allergic reaction on the scalp.
- The exact cause of why some women have allergic reactions while most do not is still not known. However, it is observed that the development of these allergies typically happens after many colorings, sometimes after 10 or 20 years of successful coloring – it is as if the scalp suddenly “flips” from being non-sensitive to being sensitive.
- Ugly Duckling always recommends that you do a skin test first on your customer and wait 48 hours before doing a coloration.

Why Does My Scalp Itch When I Get It Colored and What Can I do About it?
- The itching is primarily due to the developer, which contains hydrogen peroxide. This may cause the mix to feel itchy when applied.
- Ugly Duckling has developed a new formulation base which contains added lanolin extract to place a protective layer over the scalp and provide for a more comfortable coloring experience - a silkier, more comfortable feeling on the scalp.
- The extra coverage shades 6NN, 5NN, 4NN will be the first to have this new technology.
- We will be bringing this technology out progressively on other shades as quickly as we can.
- Ugly Duckling has a choice of 3 pure grey colors: Silver Grey, Smoky Blue Grey and Metallic Grey.
- We also have Ash Grey Additive and Ash Blue Additive. These are additives which should be used for neutralizing brassiness and reinforcing ashiness. Use Ash Grey Additive when working up to Level 6, and Use Ash Blue Additive for Levels 6 and above.
- These color are all permanent colors and need to be mixed with developers.
Using Silver Grey
Pre-lighten to level 9 or higher. Use with 20 Vol developer. The recommended mix is 1:1. Use plenty of product to saturate the hair thoroughly.
Using Smoky Blue Grey
Pre-lighten to level 8 or higher. The recommended mix is 1:1. Use plenty of product to saturate the hair thoroughly.
Using Metallic Grey
Pre-lighten to level 8 or higher. The recommended mix is 1:1. Use plenty of product to saturate the hair thoroughly.
Using Ash Grey Additive
Can be mixed in with another color or used on its own for added ashiness and for neutralizing brassiness. Best used on dark hair to brown hair (level 1 to level 5). When mixing in, use about one inch of the Additive for 1 tube of a regular color.
Using Ash Blue Additive
Can be mixed in with another color or used on its own for added ashiness and for neutralizing yellowness Best used on blonde hair (level 6 and up). When mixing in, use about one inch of the Additive for 1 tube of a regular color.
Tips for Using Ugly Ducking Greys
Greys typically are less long lasting than other colors. To get the maximum intensity and lastingness, we recommend that you pay great attention to proper application:
- Apply plenty of product so that the hair is correctly saturated.
- After applying with a dye brush, rub more product in using fingers with gloves.
- Consider double saturation (second product application with a fresh mix using a dye brush 10 minutes after the first application)
- Develop them a full 30 minutes. Add 10 minutes extra for greater vividness.
HAIR COLOR LEVELS
HAIR COLOR REFLECTS
HOW HAIR COLOR LEVELS & REFLECTS WORK
Temporary Hair Color
Temporary hair color does not penetrate the cortex of the hair. Instead, it just coats the outside of the hair shaft with color. This color generally washes out after a couple of shampoos.
Temporary hair color comes in a variety of forms, including rinses, shampoos, gels, sprays and foams…even hair mascara and chalk.
Temporary hair color is very easy to apply and is a great choice for someone looking for a fun, new look for a night out, an event or a party.
The ingredients in temporary hair color are from a very diverse group of direct color pigments, both organic and non-organic.
Semi-Permanent Hair Colors
Semi-permanent hair color is color with smaller color molecules than temporary dyes. These color molecules only partially penetrate the hair shaft.
As the name suggests, semi-permanent hair color is a less permanent option for coloring your hair. It does not require mixing with ammonia and also contains no alcohol, meaning in general, that there is no scalp irritation or allergic reactions.
Semi-permanent hair color is easy to apply and makes a great option when you are looking to try out a new look which will not last too long and not permanently affect your hair fiber.
Semi-permanent hair color is also available these days in a lot of pretty shades such as rose-gold, lavender, violet, pink. For such colors, it may be necessary to bleach the hair before applying semi-permanent hair color.
The exact results that semi-permanent hair color will give on your hair can vary according to hair level, porosity, texture, dryness.
If you have some grey hair, semi-permanent hair color may give an uneven hair color result. Semi-permanent hair colors do not cover grey hair.
Semi-permanent hair color typically wash out after a few weeks.
Demi-Permanent Hair Color
Demi-permanent hair color is an oxidative hair color just like permanent hair color, meaning that hydrogen peroxide is used.
The only difference is that instead of using ammonia, demi-permanent hair color uses a different alkali to open the hair cuticle, most commonly ethanolamine or a version of it.
Like permanent hair color, demi permanent hair color is mixed with a hair color developer, which contains hydrogen peroxide, and like permanent hair color, the mixture is very alkali.
This alkali mixture opens up the hair cuticle (although it opens it up less than permanent hair color) and penetrates into the hair cortex.
Demi-permanent hair color is basically a deposit-only color. Some brands can lighten, but generally by no more than 1 level at the most.
Demi-permanent hair color is very good at covering the first grey hair, especially at the darker levels.
Permanent hair color does alter the hair structure, so it is important to use a quality hair color and always have it applied by an experienced colorist.
Permanent Hair Color
Permanent hair color is an oxidative hair color, involving the use of hydrogen peroxide.
Permanent hair color also contains ammonia, the most effective known chemical for opening up the hair cuticle. This in turn allows a full penetration of color molecules into the hair cortex.
Permanent hair color is known for its versatility and effectiveness in hair coloring.
- It can lighten the hair level up to 5 levels.
- It can cover up to 100% grey hair.
- It can permit almost any imaginable hair color result, from rich and vibrant browns, mahoganies to very ash blondes, golden blondes to violets, blues and pinks.
- It permits mixing to create an even broader color palette.
- It can be used for all sorts of hair coloring techniques, such as highlights, balayage, ombre, sombre and many others.
- It permits color matching, in other words allowing stylists to color the re-growth of a client and match it with her mid-lengths.
Permanent hair color does alter the hair structure, so it is important to use a quality hair color and always have it applied by an experienced colorist.
