Brilliant Silver White Hair Toner Review

This product surpassed my expectations. I was quite sceptical about using it and a little nervous. The toning effect was very professional - I would say equally as good as the toning I receive at the hairdressers. I will definitely buy this product it is brilliant!

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 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 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.

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 :)

Silver White is a toning drops formula which means you can add to your normal shampoo, mix it with water or add to your conditioner. It tones very well. I like it because purple shampoos tend to be very drying for my blonde hair, these toning drops are very concerntrated and just give all the neutralizing power but without the damage.
