I was just wondering if anyone had suggestions for toning the gold out of human hair 613 pretips (products or methods). It's always a little bit too gold to be a perfect match.

I find I have to do a lot of toning to get that nice platinum blond color.  I use Shades EQ Platinum Ice with the developer.  You have to watch it like a hawk though, because of the hair's porosity, it can go gray very fast.  I apply it and stand right over it to see how the color is developing, or in this case, neutralizing.  When I think it's where I need it to be, I test it by wiping a bit off with a paper towel to see what's developed underneath.

Platinum Ice works very, very well.

Hi Stacey. Ive had some success with using Clairol shimmer lights. I turned a very gold weft of #613 into a beautiful platinum blonde just by using the purple shampoo. And she only had to use the shampoo once or twice a week to keep it platinum looking. You could try that route first.

Ive also seen some brands of #613 that the shimmer lights would not budge the gold....so then I had to tone

Thanks Sherrie and Metalgirl!

I have some shimmer lights on hand, but on my last batch of hair the gold would not budge. I have some new hair coming in and I'll try that again-- and maybe I'll have some luck. The Shades EQ also sounds very promising. Where I live it can be difficult to get professional hair colour-- but I worked in a salon as a makeup artist for quite a long time, so most of the distributers know me. Maybe I'll have to call in some favours. Or maybe just order it online.

Hi Stacy,

If you can't buy the Shades from the distributor, I see people selling it on Ebay all the time, so check it out there.  It really works well, and you only have to treat the hair once and it will stay platinum.

Good luck!
