What Is Toning A 613 Wig?
Toning a 613 wig is a process of using a toner to neutralize unwanted yellow or brassy tones of 613 wigs. This helps to brighten and refresh your blonde wig and reduce the brass for a refreshed, cool tone to present a more natural and luxurious look that complements dark skin tones.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Tone a 613 Wig
Step 1: Prepare Your Wig
First, place your 613 wig on a wig stand or mannequin head and then gently detangle your 613 wig with a brush.
For a new wig, a lukewarm water rinse is necessary to wash away any factory residue that could prevent even toner absorption
Step 2: Mix the Purple Shampoo
Fill a clean basin with lukewarm water. Then pour an appropriate amount of purple shampoo and stir the water until it looks light lavender or pale purple. A caution: Using too much purple shampoo can over-deposit color, turning the wig gray or purple.
Step 3: Dip and Check
Fully submerge the wig in the prepared purple shampoo mixture. Gently agitate it with your hands to ensure every strand is evenly coated. Leaving the wig in for too long may cause it to develop an unwanted lavender or gray tint. Here is a detailed soaking time guide.
Soaking times differ between 613 human hair and 613 synthetic wigs:
For 613 human hair wigs: Limit total soak time to 10 minutes. Check the color beginning at the 5-minute mark, extending in 1-minute intervals until the desired tone is achieved.
For 613 synthetic fiber wigs: Due to its fast color absorption speed, the total soaking time of golden synthetic fiber wigs is about 6 minutes, which is shorter than that of human hair wigs. Check the color from 3 minutes on and check it every minute.
Step 4: Rinse and Condition
Once the desired cool, refreshed, and natural tone is achieved, immediately take the 613 wig out of the purple shampoo mixture. Then rinse the wig thoroughly under cool, running water until the water runs completely clear.
After rinsing, apply an appropriate amount of conditioner or a deep conditioning mask, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. This step is vital to replenish moisture lost during the toning process, especially for human hair wigs. Leave the conditioner on for 3-5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with cool water.
Step 5: Dry and Style
Once the wig is completely dry, gently brush it starting from the ends and working your way up to the roots. It will now appear brighter, showcasing a beautiful, cool-toned blonde free of brassy yellows.
