When creating the perfect platinum blonde for clients, the two biggest challenges that colorists often face are over-toning the hair and toner that isn’t long-lasting. Toners tend to move very quickly, which makes it next to impossible to avoid over toning level 11 clients, as well as some of the other lightest level blondes.

To create the perfect balance of reflection and protection without the fear of over toning, stylists reach for Matrix Tonal Control. Bestselling shade 11PV is the go-to for colorists like Matrix Artist Tana Johnson (@tanarosehair) when her clients want the perfect platinum.

“11PV is the perfect toner to use when you want to maintain a beautiful, bright blonde while also neutralizing yellow, adding shine, and maintaining the look of healthy hair,” Tana says.

To create the perfect platinum blonde, as well as a wide range of cool and warm blonde shades for her clients, Tana uses the pre-bonded acidic gel-cream toner which offers long-lasting and multi-dimensional results with no lift and high shine.

Tonal Control lasts for up to 24 washes and provides conditioning benefits for shine and longevity. As an added bonus, it can be applied with a bottle or brush which allows colorists to move quickly and efficiently, saving time at the shampoo bowl while still achieving beautiful, long-lasting results for clients.
