Schwarzkopf Igora Expert Mousse - 8-1 Light Blonde Cendre

I SAW A PIC REVIEW, IT'S BS. I USED THIS TO TONE DOWN THE BRASSY YELLOW, IT DOES WORK, BLENDED MY NATURAL ASH BROWN ROOTS WITH A SOFTER NO SO CONTRASTED COLOR AS THE END RESULTS.DEF WORTH IT....

So, this product does work quite well--almost too well! The product recommends 3 - 5 minutes for just a quick tone; 15 - 20 for a deeper tone. I left it on for 20 mins....So it definitely toned...a little too much. My really light blonde pieces turned blueish-gray, BUT my brassy pieces definitely became a nice ashy color versus the brassy copper they were. This product also holds. I've washed my hair 3 times and it's still in...SO...if you have really light pieces of hair, maybe wrap them in foil to keep them away when applying this toner (or just clip them up). My hair type is: naturally light brown with many highlights. So it's a mix of light brown, dark blonde, and light blonde highlights (blended well). My texture is fine with a light wave (quite frizzy if air-dried, lol).I think anyone dealing with brass should get this. You may only need to use it once every 3 weeks. I also really love Matrix's blue shampoo and conditioner (Can you tell I've had a lot of experience keeping brass at bay?...But at least I can helpfully say these 3 products work. I've tried WAY too many...).

After ending up with brassy hair ( as many brunettes do when they go lighter or when their hairstylist adds too many gold/warm tones to their hair) i looked everywhere for a toner that would not force me to go dark again. I tried Purple shampoo...it did nothing to my hair (I even tried the unorthodox version of putting it on dry hair and letting it for more than 30 minutes...it did nothing beside dry my hair terribly). I tried Wella toner T18 with 20 vol developer...made my hair even more brassy and colored my roots in a reddish color. Finally I came across the Igora 8-1 mousse...I was hesitant at first but was desperate so I ordered it....Im so happy I found this product, gets rid of most of the brassiness (not all of it unfortunately) makes my hair smother and shinier. It washes out almost immediately after 2 washes but if you put it after every wash makes you hair look great. If you are a brunette with brassy hair don't spend your money on purple shampoo or toners that need developer (which will damage your hair), this product is totally worth the money!

I had bleached my hair and it was about a level 8/9, and i tried 2 different toners but i just couldn't get rid of the yellow. I bought this (8 light blonde) hoping it might tone down the yellow based on some other reviews. Well it did tone the yellow, but i found it hard to apply so that i got full coverage. Once i put the mousse on i really couldn't tell where I'd put it, it was a very light gray/purple and seemed to vanish once i rubbed it in. So the coverage is not great, and i still have yellow places. And the new color is very grayish green, and in some lights isn't flattering. Maybe it works better not on bleached hair, which might still have some red undertones to cancel the green. Anyway overall i am glad i used it because i was in a pinch to get this yellow covered quickly before an event this weekend, however i will most likely not use it again.

I used the product to tone down brassiness in my highlights...leaving the product on for the recommended time resulted in a grayish cast to all of my hair. I may experiment again leaving it on for only two minutes total.

Best product I’ve ever used! I’m amazed at how much easier the mousse texture spreads throughout the hair and the results are exactly what I wanted to get from my hairdresser, but ended up with gold/brassy tones after two washes. I went from hating my hair color/tone to loving it, just from this one product! Incredible!

This product did not lighten my hair. Followed direction and it did nothing. Decided to leave it in longer to see if that would help, still nothing. Left it in for close to 1 hour still nothing. Now it's been too long for me to send back. Very unhappy with this purchase!

First off let me start by saying I have the best hair stylist ever, she always does a great job at giving me the perfect ashy dark blonde with 0 brassiness but I thought I would be able to achieve it on my own so I bought L'Oréal 8 1/2 ash blonde and revlon frost and glow to do some sunkissed highlights. I only apply both products onto the roots. The result: a total disaster!! Not even 20 minutes of purple shampoo could tone it. So after looking at my hair all orange and crying I looked up this product and bought it. Not gonna lie, I was really skeptical about it. You can see the results by yourself. Amazing! Love love love this product!! I washed my hair normally and apply this onto the wet roots and left it for about 20 minutes. My hair is shiny and silky and love the color!! Totally recommend this product!
