Usually only a few drops is needed to be added to the formula.A 'toner' or tint is used to tone or tint a base to the desired color. Example: a double process blonding where the darker natural base is bleached to a very pale yellow 'base' level and then 'toned or tinted' to the desired final color. Hope this clears things up a bit for you.william

However, this is dependant on how many levels you are trying to lift. Usually about 4 drops of blue drabber in addition to a blue base blonde will suppress the red/orange undertones. Always strand test!!william
