Tone-on-tone dye: what it is and how to do it at home for top reflections!
What is the tone-on-tone or semi-permanent dye
Tone-on-tone coloring is defined as that color that has no lightening power and colors the hair, reviving and illuminating the pre-existing color. This type of dye is ideal for those approaching coloring at home for the first time, for those who want to cover their first white hair or for those who feel the need to revive the dull color a little. The tone-on-tone coloring brings more intense reflections on natural or colored hair. And of course, it does not have a permanent effect, or zero regrowth effect because it disappears within a certain number of washes!
