Bhave Intense Toning Masque Slate 400ml

Steps

1. Wash hair thoroughly, then gently towel dry to remove excess water. Hair should be clean and damp before applying Bhave Intense Toning Masque Slate.
2. Apply the masque evenly through the hair, concentrating on areas with unwanted copper, orange or brassy tones that require a cooler finish.
3. Gently comb through with a wide tooth comb to distribute the masque evenly through the areas requiring toning.
4. Leave on for 3–10 minutes, depending on your desired colour intensity and hair porosity. For very light, porous or highly sensitised hair, begin with 3 minutes and gradually increase the processing time if needed.
5. Monitor the colour throughout processing to achieve your preferred cooler tone without excessive pigment buildup.
6. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until the masque is completely removed. Follow with conditioner, rinse well and style as desired.

Professional tip

For beautifully balanced ash, silver or cooler blonde tones, assess your hair's starting colour and porosity before applying the masque. Highly porous or previously bleached sections can absorb toning pigments more quickly, so work in small sections and monitor the colour closely. Apply evenly to areas with unwanted warmth, using a wide tooth comb to prevent uneven results. Begin with 3 minutes for the first application, particularly on very light or sensitised hair, and gradually increase the processing time in future treatments if stronger toning is desired. Never exceed 10 minutes, and rinse as soon as your preferred tone is achieved.

How do the key ingredients function in Bhave Intense Toning Masque Slate 400ml?

• CI 77499, Basic Blue 99 and Basic Red 52: A carefully combined blend of black mineral pigment and blue and red colour dyes that helps soften unwanted yellow, orange and copper warmth in lightened hair. These pigments create a cooler, smokier appearance, making them particularly useful for maintaining ash blonde, silver and slate tones between salon visits.
• Glycerin: A moisture attracting ingredient that helps hair retain a softer, more flexible feel. Particularly beneficial for bleached, highlighted or colour treated lengths that can feel dry and rough.
• Cetearyl Alcohol and Myristyl Alcohol: Beneficial fatty alcohols that help soften hair and give the masque its rich, creamy texture. They improve the conditioned feel of hair without acting as harsh cleansing ingredients.
• Behentrimonium Chloride, Cetrimonium Chloride and Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine: Conditioning ingredients that improve slip, reduce static and make tangled hair easier to comb. They help leave lightened lengths feeling silky, smooth and manageable.
• Dimethicone, Dimethiconol, Cyclomethicone and Cyclopentasiloxane: Smoothing silicone ingredients that help reduce friction, improve shine and create a polished finish. They also soften the appearance of frizz and flyaways.
• Quaternium-70 and Polyquaternium-10: Conditioning polymers that help improve softness, control static and reduce tangling for smoother, easier styling.
• Hydrolyzed Euterpe Oleraceae Fruit (Acai): A fruit derived ingredient associated with naturally occurring antioxidant compounds. It contributes to the masque's botanical care blend and supports the formula's conditioning profile.
• Hydrolyzed Acerola Fruit and Hydrolyzed Grape Fruit: Fruit derived ingredients that complement the conditioning formula. These botanical additions contribute to the overall care experience without being responsible for the colour toning effect.
• Sunflower Seed Oil: A nourishing botanical oil that helps soften dry hair, improve smoothness and enhance natural shine.
• Lotus Corniculatus Flower: A botanical ingredient containing naturally occurring plant compounds that complements the masque's conditioning formulation.
• Licorice and Lemon Balm: Botanical ingredients associated with antioxidant compounds that contribute to the formula's plant derived care blend.
• Lavender, Jasmine, Ylang-ylang and Vanilla Bean: Aromatic botanical ingredients that contribute to the masque's luxurious fragrance and sensory experience.
• Black Currant: A botanical ingredient containing naturally occurring antioxidant compounds that complements the conditioning formula.
• Acacia Senegal Gum: A natural plant gum that supports the masque's texture and film forming properties, helping create a smooth application.

Why are customers choosing Bhave Intense Toning Masque Slate 400ml over other toning masques?

When blonde highlights turn golden, silver hair develops unwanted warmth or a beautiful ash shade begins looking brassy, Bhave Intense Toning Masque Slate delivers the cooler colour refresh you've been looking for. This salon inspired treatment combines black, blue and red toning pigments to help soften copper, orange and yellow warmth, creating a more refined smoky ash or silver appearance. Unlike ordinary purple shampoos that primarily target yellow tones, Slate is designed for hair needing a deeper, cooler colour correction. Its luxurious conditioning base combines Glycerin, Sunflower Seed Oil, smoothing silicones and detangling ingredients to leave hair feeling silky, glossy and beautifully manageable. With a customisable 3–10 minute processing time, you can enjoy a subtle ash refresh or build towards a more noticeable smoky finish.

What makes Bhave Slate especially appealing is its balance of visible toning results and rich conditioning care. Customers describe impressive results on stubborn brassiness, naturally grey hair and blonde highlights, with particular praise for softness and shine. Some customers report achieving their preferred tone in just a few minutes, while others enjoy mixing a small amount with conditioner for gentler maintenance. Compared with Bhave Violet, which focuses on yellow tones and brighter blondes, Slate offers a smokier, ashier result for hair that needs stronger warmth control. Whether you're maintaining professionally coloured ash blonde, refreshing silver strands or keeping highlighted hair beautifully cool between appointments, Bhave Intense Toning Masque Slate brings salon inspired colour maintenance and luxurious conditioning together in one exceptional treatment - Everything Keratin
