Ugly Duckling Ash Blue Additive is a blue additive toner for blonde hair. Mixed into a color, it cancels stubborn orange and brassy warmth. 3.5 oz (100 g).

Ash blue pigments neutralize brassiness and kill yellow on blonde hair at levels 5–8. It tones over yellow and yellow-orange. Argan Oil conditions the hair.

Use it on hair showing orange and yellow-orange tones at levels 5–8.

Squeeze around one inch of Ash Blue Additive into a plastic mixing bowl, then add the desired amount of a level 6, 7 or 8 color. Color Gel 8N is a good choice, so are Ugly Duckling cream colors such as 7.1b and 8.1b. Add the same amount again of 20 Vol developer (1:1 mix) and mix thoroughly. Apply to the entire head, then rinse. Roll up and close the tube to keep the rest for a future application.

The result is a medium blonde with yellow and yellow-orange toned away. For professional use.

Extra large professional 3.5 oz (100 g) tube. Low ammonia, paraben-free.

Squeeze around one inch from the tube of Ash Blue Additive and pour into a plastic mixing bowl. Roll up, close the cap and keep the rest for a future application.
Step 2
Add in the desired amount of level 6,7 or level 8 color. Color Gel 8N is a good choice, so are Ugly Duckling cream colors such as 7.1b and 8.1b
Step 3
Add in the same amount again of 20 Vol developer (1 to 1 mix) and mix together thoroughly.
Step 4
Apply to the entire head, then rinse.
Pro tip
Ash Blue Additive tends to darken the color result by one tone, so allow for that when you choose the color you mix it into.

Fixed my orange hair completetely
I stripped 10 years worth level 4 brown dye out of my hair and it was literally pumpkin orange and around a level 7, a level 8 on top and a 6 on the ends. I didn't want to just go back dark so I tried a level 7 blue based ash blonde from Sally's which gave me orangey brown ends and greenish brown roots. Lovely. So I ordered this (6.1B) along with the ash blue additive after doing the color consultation on Ugly Ducklings website. I ordered from Amazon because I'm not a cosmetologist and don't have a license. This stuff is great. It left such a pretty neutral brown. The ash blue additive perfectly "toned" out any of the brass. Also it made my hair SO soft and bouncy and volumized. The Sally's stuff made my hair feel super dry and crunchy so that alone is reason for me to switch. This stuff is just vastly superior. I used to think hair dye is hair dye it's all the same but I guess not.
