How to Tone a 613 Wig-A Beginner Friendly Guide
Among all blonde hair shades, 613 stands out the most. It has that pale, creamy tone that glows beautifully under any light, making it both bold and fashionable. However, many people notice that while 613 color looks pretty, it often turns out a bit too yellow or golden, which doesn't look super natural. With a quick toning step, you can easily fix that. It helps the color look softer, more natural, and more flattering on your skin. So today, let's see how you can tone your 613 wig at home and achieve that smooth, natural blonde look.
Reasons for Toning a 613 Blonde Wig
Most untoned 613 blonde wigs have a noticeable yellow or golden undertone, which looks warm and less natural. Black women often use purple shampoo on blonde wigs to neutralize these yellow tones, resulting in a "creamy gold" or "champagne gold" effect that's more flattering on Black skin. After toning, using conditioner or a silicone mix for further conditioning will make the wig appear finer, closer to the natural texture of bleached blonde, and visually softer.
For those who prefer dyeing their hair, 613 is also an ideal "base" color—toning before applying trendy colors like pink, gray-purple, and ginger-orange ensures a more even dyeing experience. Furthermore, toning prevents the wig from appearing "dried and golden," making the overall hair look smoother, shinier, and more naturally grown.
How to Tone a 613 Human Hair Wig
Before you begin, you'll need the following things:
- Purple shampoo or purple conditioner (to neutralize yellow)
- Honey brown semi-permanent hair dye
- Bucket (if you don't have a sink, you can use it instead)
- Disposable gloves
- Comb and towel
- Conditioner or hair mask
Pour warm water into a basin and add an appropriate amount of purple shampoo or purple conditioner, or a few drops of Adore #48 semi-permanent hair dye, and stir well. The purple component will neutralize the yellow, while the honey brown will create a more natural golden brown hue. Be careful not to overdo it, as this will darken the color.
Step 2: Soak the Wig
Gently put your 613 color wig into the water. Use your hands to stir slowly, so every strand gets coated with the toning solution. The soaking time depends on the look you want. Usually, 5–10 minutes is enough. For a cooler or lighter tone, keep it on the shorter side. If you want a warmer, more golden-brown vibe, leave it a few extra minutes—but keep an eye on the color as it changes.
Step 3: Rinse and condition
Once the color looks right, rinse the wig thoroughly with clean water to get rid of all the toner. Then, gently use conditioner or a hair mask to keep the strands soft and shiny. Pat it dry with a towel and let it air dry. After toning, the yellow tones in your 613 color wig will be neutralized, giving it a softer, more natural look with smooth, glossy hair.
