Tone to get those lovely warm hues Pelusi says it's best for the hair (and the color) to leave some red in the highlights before toning them. Cinnamon and chestnut hues are a mix of red, gold and brown, so if the bleached pieces already have red in them, Pelusi likes to use "warm, cinnamon brunette or soft, golden brunette" tones to achieve his client's ideal shade. Again, to protect the health and integrity of the hair, Pelusi prefers using demicolor (semi-permanent color with little to no ammonia). These types of dyes only deposit color and prevent further stripping of the hair that has already been bleached.
