It is a cool-toned whitish color that suits pale and light complexions. Platinum blonde is fabulous with any eye color, but it is magical on brown and blue-eyed ladies. This color has always been around and we’ve seen some famous people rock it perfectly.

I tailor the colour to suit every client by putting a toner on it, whether it's milky, creamy, silver, grey… Being a blonde is a right of passage you have to do it at some point in your life, its just about picking the right tone for you."

If you start with a brown base, it’s better to take a thorough, caring approach to platinum blonde hair colors. First off, for such a light and cool color, no matter what shade it is, you will need to lighten your hair. And bleach, as you know, may lead to damage. 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

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:

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.

How to Get Hair Platinum Blonde

  • Step 3 - Part your hair: Part your hair into up to 4 equal sections to apply the products evenly.

  • Step 4 - Mix the developer and the lightener: It’s important to note that the developer acts as a peroxide for the lightener. That is, it helps to activate the lightener. Make sure you read the instruction on the bottle to know how much you need to add.

  • Step 5 - Apply mixed product on your hair: If you decide to dye your entire length, you should start from the roots. If not, apply the dye just where you desire.

  • Step 6 - Wait following the instructions: Leave the mix on your hair for as long as it’s specified on the bottle.

  • Step 7 - Make the platinum blonde shine: To finalize the tone and give it a shiny look, mix the toner and the developer. Check the instructions as you mix. Usually, you need to mix until they turn into a puddle.

  • Step 8 - Apply the mixed product gently to your hair: Distribute the mixture from the roots to the tips. Leave it for 15-20 minutes before washing off.

How To Take Care Of Your New Blonde Color With Platinum Shades

  2. Purple shampoo is to be used at least once a week to maintain the color as well.
  3. Since your hair has been undoubtedly damaged that is why you should use protein masks every two weeks.
  4. Last but not least, every four weeks you need to refresh your color since your roots will grow out.
