Taking the next step in the laws of neutralization, you can conclude that a violet toner or blue violet color formula will cancel out the unwanted yellow or gold tones in your blonde hair color; blue will cancel out the unwanted orange or brassy tones in your brown hair color, which is where products like blue shampoo ...

PURPLE/VIOLET PRODUCTS
Purple is the exact opposite colour to yellow on the colour wheel, so when mixed together they essentially cancel eachother out. Purple/Violet Shampoos are super popular with blondes, and for good reason.
The Wella Color Charm T18 Lightest Ash Blonde Hair Toner transforms brassy yellow hair in to a very light, white blonde. If you have stubborn yellow tones, this is for you. The Wella Color Charm Hair Toners are simple to use and give a salon-quailty finish, all from the comfort of home.
Usually, when I'm speaking with women who have just freshly bleached and toned their hair and found their roots are still yellow it's for one reason: You needed to leave the bleach on for longer. Otherwise, your toner really isn't going to do much.
Creates a beautiful, cool natural blonde while toning away brassy yellow and orange tones.
By looking at colour theory and choosing the opposite colour of your hair in the colour wheel, such as purple or blue shades, you can neutralise the yellow and orange. This method gives the impression of cooler tones without affecting the pigments in a permanent way.
Blue based colors and toners are good at killing yellow-orange and will tone down hair very well. Use Ugly Duckling's blue based ash blonde colors (anything ending in "1b"). Aim for level 6 to 8 if you are looking to down down brassy hair. For extra strong "orange killing", you can squeeze in some Ash Blue Additive.
Wella Colour Charm T14 Pale Ash Blonde Toner will turn brassy hair into very ashy blonde. This toner is for you if you hate even the slightest bit of warmth. Wella T14 has a blue-violet base, which means it will counteract (or reduce) gold / yellow orange tones.
20 Vol Developer will lighten your hair slightly and will give permanent results. Use this with Wella Colour Charm Permanent Toners, along with Shimmer Lights Toners and Lightener. Keep in mind, as 20 Vol Developer lightens your hair slightly, it can cause brassiness at your roots (if they're darker than your lengths).
The most powerful toner against orange tones is the Wella Colour Charm Toner in 050 Cooling Violet. Used alone on blonde hair this gives a steel grey result. Used alone on orange hair this will really reduce the orange tones and leave you with an ashy dark blonde/light brown result.
You can also use toners to correct the color and balance out the warm tones. By looking at color theory and choosing the opposite color of your hair in the color wheel, such as purple or blue shades, you can neutralize the yellow and orange.
On the other hand, hair dyes require 45 minutes of exposure time. Moreover, toners neutralize brassy tones as soon as applied. This reaction stops after 20 minutes. Thus, 15–20 minutes is a sufficient time of leaving toners in your hair.
For warmer undertones (think hints of yellow or orange), your ideal hair color should give your skin a healthy, natural-looking flush. Go for hair colors that are cool, ashy, or have reddish tones, like honey or strawberry blonde hair, golden copper, cool beige brunette, and rich golden brown.
In the salon, your stylist can apply a low-ammonia toner formula to your hair after it is lightened. For example, if the goal is a pearly blonde shade, your stylist will use a lightener first, then apply a violet toner to cancel out the yellow tones that are exposed when your hair color is lifted.
Toning Products: Hair toners, available as sprays, masks, or shampoos, can help neutralize unwanted yellow tones. Look for products specifically formulated for grey or silver hair. Professional Help: If the yellowing is severe or persistent, consider visiting a professional stylist.
For example, blue neutralizes orange, green balances red, and purple tones down yellow hues. That means, in order to target yellow, you need a touch of violet in your formula.
T18, on the other hand, is Lightest Ash Blonde with only a violet base. Violet cancels out yellow while blue cancels out orange. If you have any orange left in your hair, T14 is probably the best for your hair over T18. T18 is only effective if your hair is a level 10 or higher (purely yellow).
As a 2nd step, I use L'Oreal Excellance - 9A shade - light Ash Blonde to achieve platinum hair color. Ash cancels the yellow. But make sure to only apply the ash product on the hair that you bleached that are yellow. The ends of your hair are usually much light and will absorb the ash color much quicker than the roots.
Perfect for correcting and neutralizing brass. Quick and easy to use for at-home, salon-quality blondes. Vibrant, long lasting, fade resistant results. Vegan and free of parabens.
Creates a rich honey beige blonde. Can be used to fix brassy orange hair to transform it to a more flattering warm shade.
Applying a hair dye or a hair toner for orange hair can neutralize some of this warmth, but only temporarily. As time passes, the cooler tones in your toner or dye will fade, and those warmer undertones will resurface.
