- Description
- The Color-Tone Shampoo line was produced by the Helena Rubinstein Company from about 1950 to 1970. These products were not dyes, but were made from a "special formula" advertised as safe for children. They came in five different tones: Blonde, Silver, Gold, Brunette, and Redhead.
- Blond–tone was intended for use by borderline blondes, redheads, light browns, and blondes to highlight blonde in the hair. This bottle is dated from the years 1952 through 1957.
