Platinum Blonde for Light Brown Hair

If you start with a brown base, it’s better to take a thorough, caring approach to platinum blonde hair colors.

Therefore, modern colorists suggest women with brown hair go for blonde shades. Also, they recommend cool-toned yet still close to neutral or beige colors.

Platinum Blonde Guidelines

1. Try out blonde wigs: The truth is that some ladies do not look marvelous with blonde hair. To find out if you are not one of those ladies, try out a blonde wig first. It is painless and totally worthy since once you see yourself in blonde, you will know whether you should go down that road or you shouldn’t.
2. Consider your skin tone: The fact is that ladies with cool skin tones are always better-looking with platinum blonde hair than the ones who have warm skin tones.
3. What about the tan? Do you tan easily? The thing is that dark tanned skin does not always look that great with icy platinum blonde hair.
4. Your natural hair color: If you have dark hair and wish to go to the blonde side, you should be aware of the maintenance blonde hair requires. The roots of your hair will constantly show your natural hair color. There is no doubt about that, so think twice whether you are ready for such hard work and commitment.
5. The condition of your hair: Last but not least, you should consider the condition of your hair. If your hair is thin and fragile, there is no way it will withstand all the chemical processes of bleaching, and that is why you should better strengthen your hair before trying to go platinum.

How To Prepare Your Hair Before Getting Platinum Hair:

It is highly important that your platinum blonde hair color is even. Consequently, you should forget about any kind of dying for at least six months.

A fortnight before the bleaching procedure, you should treat your hair with a conditioning treatment. The truth is that no matter how innovative the bleaching formulas are, they will dry and might damage your hair. And the best you can do is nourish it properly at least two weeks before the procedure.

Two days before the bleaching procedure, you should in no case wash your hair. The thing is that all the natural oils that are produced will secure your scalp from drying and that is crucial as well.

Lastly, you should prepare mentally for both the dramatic change of color and some change of length. Both are inevitable, after all.
