Step-by-Step Guide to Toning with Wella Colour Depositing Mask
- Prepare Your Workspace
Lay down a towel or plastic sheet to protect your workspace from potential spills. - Dampen the Extensions
Wet your extensions, then towel dry them. Damp hair absorbs toner more evenly than dry hair. - Prepare the Toner
Squeeze the desired amount of Wella Colour Depositing Mask directly onto the hair or use a mixing bowl and tint brush. - Apply the Toner
Use your hands or an application brush to evenly coat each extension with the mask. Ensure full coverage by combing through the extensions gently with a comb. - Processing Time
Leave the toner on for 5-10 minutes, depending on how ashy or cool-toned you want the extensions to be. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for optimal results. - Rinse and Condition
Rinse the extensions with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. - Dry and Style
Gently pat the extensions dry with a towel and let them air-dry on a flat surface, or blow dry them with heat protection spray. Once dry, style as desired.

FAQs About Toning Hair Extensions
