Welcome to How to Be a Redhead 
Lightening and coloring can cause hair color to turn brassy over time, meaning it can be left with undesired undertones making it look unnatural. A hair toner is used to eliminate these unwanted undertones and help to maintain the desired color.
When blondes hit the salon, they will almost always have a toner put in. For brunettes, it’s not always necessary but some stylists may use it depending on your desired shade. So, do redheads need a toner? Whether you’re a redhead who’s fading and need a touchup, or you’re a redhead ‘by choice’, here’s everything you need to know.
If you’re dyeing your hair red or touching up your natural hair with red dye…
Unwanted brassy tones can appear in any hair color, affecting those with both color-treated and natural hair. “Brassy” refers to warm tones like yellow or gold, and most red hair colors will also have a warm base tones. So technically, yes, you could use a toner before the hair color but it’s not necessary. Red hair doesn’t need to be toned.
