Comments452 If your hair after bleaching is an orange tone, you use wella T14 (blue base). If your hair is more of a yellow tone after bleaching, use wella T18 (purple/violet base). If you put T14 on yellow hair, it will turn slightly green.
T14 is a hair toner from the Wella Color Charm line, specifically designed for neutralizing unwanted warm or brassy tones in blonde hair. When used on orange brassy hair, T14 can help achieve a cooler, more ashy blonde tone. Here's how it works:
To tone orange hair, the best color toner to use is typically a blue or blue-violet toner. This is because blue is directly opposite orange on the color wheel, which helps neutralize the unwanted warm tones in your hair.
The toner from Wella can help to take out the brassiness and make the hair less orange.

Just as a purple shampoo neutralises brassy tones on blondes, using a blue shampoo on brown hair neutralises orange and red tones for brunettes.
T14 is a pale ash blonde with violet-blue tones, making it better for hair that still has some orange left in it. T18, on the other hand, is Lightest Ash Blonde with only a violet base. Violet cancels out yellow while blue cancels out orange.
Orange hair to ash blonde: To achieve a cooler light brown hue, use a medium ash blonde hair dye. Apply it to dark orange hair to neutralize the orange while maintaining a lightened hair color, resulting in a beautiful light brown blonde shade.
The toner was left on the hair for 15 minutes. You can leave it on longer depending on how porous and brassy your hair is. Do keep an eye on the hair and keep in mind that the longer you leave it, the more ashy it will turn out.
While the toner did slightly darken the hair, it really does not have much of an effect on hair this shade. I wouldn't recommend it for orange hair.
