Brilliant Silver White Hair Toner Review

This product comes in a small plain looking box, it has text saying how easy and effective the product is to use, but doesn't indicate how you use it. Inside the box is 2 compartments, one for instructions, the other has the bottled product. The bottle is really small, at a glance it looks like a nail glue or something similar.

I found the instruction sheet a little confusing because it has pictures and instructions of Brilliant Silver Rose in there too. I recommend reading all the instructions before you start to make sure you understand what to do.

The instructions (in a nutshell) say to add the required drops of product to 1 litre of water, wash & condition your hair, towel dry, then pour the water evenly over your hair.

There is then a table that helps you decipher how many drops of product to use, based on your current hair colour and the effect the product will have; but this is pretty vague, for example saying 5-15 drops for the desired effect.

My roots are quite a brassy blonde and then ombre's down to my tips which are white blonde. The ends of my hair are quite dry, the instructions advise the product may have a more vibrant effect on dry hair.

With this in mind I went for the number of drops somewhere in the middle of the recommended range. It was fairly easy to control the number of drops that come out of the bottle. The liquid is a very concentrated and pigmented violet colour, it will stain your skin if you splash it (yes this happened to me...). I feel like you could get quite a lot of usage from this tiny bottle, because you are only using such a small amount.

Once I had my toner and water mixture ready, I had to try and position myself over the bath in a way that meant I could evenly pour it over my hair. To clarify, you can't jut get back in the shower and throw this over your head, as it tells you it can stain your skin, so you should cover your shoulders. I decided to split the mixture into two halves, pour one over the back of my head and the other over the front... although when doing this alone, pouring over the front was very awkward!!

After applying I towel dried and styled as normal. As it warned, my dry ends had gone a very dull, silvery purple colour, but the rest of my hair was nicely toned. The purple faded after a few days, and after another wash had almost completely gone, leaving me with a very cool toned blonde with no brassiness in sight!

I would liken the results to the Fudge Purple Shampoo. The application 'in theory' is easy, but you have to apply it to freshly washed hair, so I would prefer a product I can apply in the shower, rather than messing around with making up a mixture then towel drying my hair only to re-wet it. I was impressed with the effect such a small amount of product I had to use, but the application is a bit of a gimmick, and for the price I think I'll stick with my purple shampoo.

I have bleach blonde hair which always has quite a yellow tone to it. I was super excited to try this so as soon as i got it in the mail i had to try! Well 1st off it had easy to follow instructions until i actually tried it! I found it quite hard to get onto my hair as you have to mix it with water and its hard to get the liquid onto your head. I followed the instructions for my hair colour and my hair ended up being pretty much the same at the roots to about half way down and where my hair is pretty porus at the ends turned purple! It did fade by the next day into a silver but the roots to half way down didnt change at all. It has in the instructions to wear gloves which would have been great if the box had some in as i dont have them at home so i didnt wear any. But it only stained my hand for that day and quickly faded so not too worried about that. I think it would have been easier to apply with a different method rather than tipping it on your hair straight from the jug/container. I am going to try a different way to apply it in the next few days so will update on how that goes with some tips :)

I was so excited to trial this product. I naturally have dark blonde hair which i have been getting blonde foils in for years, my hair has always thrown to a gold after a couple of washes, no matter what i have tried.

This product came in a simple white box and the product in a small 15ml container. It had really easy instructions, you mix so many drops with water and tip this mixture over your hair evenly, which definatly is a flaw for me and is it not the easiest to tip water over your hair i would far rather a constincy like shampoo.

i followed the directions and noticed straight away that a lot of my hair had the purple shade through it, even once fully dry it was still purple!!! after washing my hair twice the purple was mostly out, to be honest i didnt notice much of a change to my hair other than it being purple. i will try this again but with a lower dose than they reccomend.

When BR offered me to trial this I wasn't quite sure what to expect. But I thought I could always do with a bit of a bit of a toner into my highlighted blonde hair. As a bit of a background I have dirty dark blonde hair and I have been getting blonde highlights put into my hair for the last 6 to 7 years. It does get quite brassy, especially at the ends where there is a lot of dye.

The packaging of this is quite small. A wee box and inside the instruction booklet and a small white bottle of extremely purple liquid. Once you take the lid off you only use a few drops of it in a litre of water and the bottle is really easy to squeeze to only get what you need out. The instructions were quite good. So you put a few drops in water then put this over your washed towel dried hair. I think this bottle will last forever given how little you need to use. I found it weird that you didn't need to wash it out... I looked on the instructions and on the website and found nothing so I just did what I was told.

So I found the whole process of putting this over your hair while it is towel dried quite strange. I just don't understand how they can say that this is quick and easy to apply when it is such a faff. I would much rather use a normal purple shampoo once a week, at least that is easy to use. I did however like the effect of this toner on my hair. It made my hair look a lot less brassy. However after all the faff of using this it is a temporary fix. I must admit that on some parts of my hair I found a wee bit of a purple tinge but it wasn't all over my head so I wasn't too concerned. I did find that it lasted more than one wash with shampoo which was great but my hair was back to normal after two to three washes.

I did enjoy the effects of this product and I think I will be keeping it in my kit for special occasions where I need something to make my hair look extra nice. But to others I think I would suggest a purple shampoo before I would suggest this.

I got this in a recent BR beauty vault. I had been on the lookout for a toner that would work and be better for my hair. This popped up so I jumped at the opportunity to have it in my life. It wasn't at all what I expected in a good way.

It comes in a cute white and purple box. Inside is two compartments separated by cardboard. On one side is the instructions and information leaflet and the other is a tiny bottle that reminds me of an eye drop bottle. I thought to myself how can something so small possibly last more than one application and do anything to my head of hair? Moving on....

What also surprised me is that you use drops of it mixed in warm water. How could something watered down and tipped on your hair possibly tone my hair? Lucky for me the instructions are very detailed and take you step by step through the process. I used 25 drops because my hair was a brassy nightmare, hence the title. The colour of the toner is of course a purple which matches every other toner I have seen out there. To avoid possible staining I wore an old towel around my shoulders and slowly tipped the toner in to my hair making sure I got full coverage. Beforehand I washed and towel dried my hair in prep for the toner. What amazes me is how I leave it in and just dry and style as normal! No washing out which is easier and faster for me.

I noticed a big difference in the tone of my hair. It was no longer an ugly yellow brassy colour, it was more blonde. I can now feel comfortable in the fact that the red dye will take so much better than it would with a brass colour. It was very vibrant and amazing. My hair felt very soft afterwards which was awesome considering every other toner I have used is a wash out shampoo and strips my hair of any moisture whatsoever.

I love that even though it's a small bottle it has many applications in it because you literally only use a few drops. As my hair got light each time I bleached it, I needed less toner each time. I have so far gotten 5 applications out of it so I am impressed. If you dislike the shampoo toner like I do, then please do give this a go. It makes your hair feel really good along with removing all those yellow tones that are the bane of a bleached blondes existence.

I received this in my last lot of goodies from the Beauty Vault. I started dyeing my hair blonde with a kit about 8 months ago as I am going quite grey/white.

The packaging is fairly normal, just a box but I do like the colours, they stand out. The bottle inside is small and easy to hold. I followed the instructions included and rinsed my hair with the toner and it did make a difference to the colour. My hair still has some quite dark areas and they are hard to colour blonde as they tend to go a bit brassy.

This product did make a difference to the tone of my hair - I have used it a couple of times and will continue to use it when I dye my hair. I really like it - also the fact that it is gentle on my hair and washes out after a couple of washes

A small bottle a small nozzle at the top so you can get drops out not a sudden pour So after reading reviews I add ten drops to a litre of water eeee purple water has a sweet fragrance rather like lollies Wash and condition my hair and while damp pour this over my hair it dries to a slightly less shade of ginger. So with next wash I repeat the process but put in fifteen drops, way less ginger. So next wash I’m in I do twenty drops and soak my hair in it. Yes way less ginger and a brighter blond Hair is left soft and silky extra conditioned so funny how a small amount added to water does a tone. Ok so I didn’t use gloves the last time that it did it and no problem I’m not left purple stained or anything. Yes this is worth the price I did go carefully after reading the reviews but I’m a natural brunette highlighted blond a lot of light hair so my hair does go really brassy. Yep this is good I recommend this

I really liked this toner, it really made your hair a nice silver blonde 'as long as it was already quite blonde' but when your hair is very light, the colour it gives is amazing, it evens out the blonde and definitely gets rid of the brassy colours. I don't really like how it's a leave in toner and you just mix it with water, I found that it made my hair feel quite dry. however i think if you just used it for special occasions etc it's well worth it.

I bought this after reading the reviews on hair. I am growing into my silvers and have stopped colouring my hair, but with that comes the colour fade from previous colourings, and for me that's a lot of yellow/brassy tones too.

Purple shampoos were becoming quite drying on my hair so I was in search of something to help tone my hair while the colour grows out.

I have a pixie cut - so the instructions and video's I watched would make application really messy for me, so I got a spray bottle and added few drops to that, and applied it that way. It works really well - you've just got to watch you don't spray your scalp too much or you'll be looking fairly purple - especially if you have fine hair like me - the mist makes its way through the hair easily.

Application aside, once the hair is dried, the brassy tones had really faded and I was looking more ash toned, which is fantastic. My silvers are really 'silver' and glitter like too! Unlike the shampoos my hair was left soft and not dry at all. It gradually washes out - and the good news is if you're too heavy handed you can get the excess out with one or two washes. I can get about 4-5 washes before I want to put the product in again.

The bottle will last ages doing the application with the spray bottle so I'm really happy with the results. I'll be sticking with this one through my journey of going grey.
