How To Use Wella Colour Charm Toner (Updated 2022)

What Do I Mix Wella Toner With?

The Wella Colour Charm Toners need to be mixed with Developer.
You can use either 10 Vol Developer or 20 Vol Developer (more on this later).

At Tint Department we use and recommend Hi Lift Developers and have found these give perfect, consistent results.
 

Which Developer To Use With Wella Toner?

10 Vol Developer: This is the more gentle choice.

20 Vol Developer: This is the stronger choice.
Use 20 Vol Developer with your toner if you are looking to go lighter with your toner, if you've just bleached and your hair is uneven or if you're seeing a lot of brassy yellow or orange tones. Be careful with using 20 Vol Developer if you have natural roots as it can slightly lighten and make them look brassy.

You can use a combination of developers to get your desired look! E.g. 10 Vol Developer on sections closer to the root and 20 Vol Developer to the mid-lengths and ends.
 

Do I Use Wella Colour Charm Toner On Wet Or Dry Hair?

How Light Does Hair Have To Be For Toner?

To get the best results, your hair needs to be really pale blonde / yellow for the Wella Toners to work.

We have had success in reducing some darker yellow / orange with the toners - the results are just darker and less ashy. If you head to the toner section of our website, you'll see swatches we created with different shades of blonde. I hope this helps!
 

How Do I Mix The Wella Colour Charm Toners?

1. Using a measuring cup, mix 1 part toner with 2 parts developer (double the amount of developer to toner). For example, for an all over application on shoulder length hair, mix 50mls of toner with 100mls developer.
2. Using a brush or application bottle, apply the toner mixture to damp, towel dried hair. Apply to the back section of the hair first, starting at the lengths and then moving to the roots (if desired) before moving to the front sections of the hair.
3. Allow to develop for up to 30 minutes. Check a strand every 5-10 minutes to see if desired colour has been reached.
4. Rinse the toner out. Shampoo, conditioner and style as normal.
