Blonde · Level 7
Toffee Blonde Without Bleach — What to Expect.
Toffee Blonde deposits directly at level 7 — no pre-lightening on most bases, which means less damage, a shorter appointment, and easier reversal.
The exception: very dark, resistant, or previously colored hair can still block uptake. Strand-test first, and if the test grabs unevenly, ask for a clarifying or color-removal step rather than forcing developer.
