Cathy Tran (@prostylistcathyt) of Corona, California, shares the details for this color correction going from mis-matched brass to frosty blonde.

Step 6: Tone with Wella Color Charm T11, T35 full bottles with cool shades 20 volume, adding Olaplex also into the toner and adding 12a and 10a as an additive ("meaning just 1/4 of 12a and 10a with no developer".)
