What is the processing time?
Process up to 15 minutes. Check color development every 5 minutes.
Sometimes a toner looks like it is going dark as soon as I apply it. Should I take it off?
No, take a wet towel and wipe a small strand to test. It is very common that toners look like they are processing darker than the expected result.
Can I reapply a toner on a double process if it fades out before the client is due for a retouch?
Yes, this will add more tone to the hair. Re-evaluate the toner formula if it is fading fast. You may have to take it slightly deeper. You can add 1/2 oz. of a deeper color to the formula.
