Pollution, Water, What?
What does low porosity mean?
Blonde hair — this includes you, natural blondes! — tends to be more porous than darker shades. What does hair porosity mean? Having high porosity hair means your hair soaks everything in. This includes all those pesky minerals hiding in your water, pollution from outside, and everything else! When these elements soak into your hair and oxidize, you’ll notice brassiness, dryness, and overall lackluster locks.
Several elements have the ability to turn blonde brassy after they oxidize in the hair. Do you live in an area with a high iron content in the water? Iron is a major brassiness contributor (but not the only one). Other minerals will discolor your blonde, including calcium, magnesium, and lead! Yes, they’re probably hiding in your water and attaching to your hair like little magnets! The buildup from minerals often causes a layer on your hair which scatters light instead of reflecting it, and these oxidized minerals often leave the brassy or other colored tint in your hair.
Toner Toned Out?
Toner doesn’t last. This sheer overlay for your blonde helps take your blonde to the color you had in your mind. If your natural color has warm undertones, these often fight the lightener to break through. Your natural color affects your lightened color, and toner helps your stylist achieve the perfect results. If your toner fades and reveals brassiness underneath, you may need retoned.
