What toner should I use to get ashy hair?
Decide what you want your end color to be, and choose a toner that will work to neutralize unwanted pigments to get the cool, natural-looking blonde you want. If you’re trying to cancel out orange tones to achieve a dark, ashy blonde or light brown, a blue toner is your best bet.
How do I make my blonde hair Ashy?

What does blonde toner do?
Toners alter the undertone of hair color but do not lift the shade. This is why they are meant to be applied to bleached or blonde hair and will not work on darker hair. Toner can help you manipulate the shade of your blonde hair to make it look cooler, dingier, ashier, or even different colors like pink or purple.

What is a level 10 toner?
Level is defined on a scale of 1 to 10: A level 1 hair color is the darkest black color hair can be, and level 10 is the lightest blonde color.
