Bleaching Your Hair – How to Go Platinum Blonde

Going platinum blonde can be damaging; leaving it to professionals is best.

hair Dye Stains:

To avoid clothing staining, use an old towel and a plastic bowl. Start with peek-a-boo highlights instead to reduce breakage.

Preparation:

Achieving platinum blonde may require multiple visits and violet toner. Find a colorist experienced with lightening dark hair. Use sulfate-free shampoos to prevent brassiness. Apply vaseline or barrier cream to protect your skin before bleaching.

Bleaching:

Bleaching is harmful and fades your natural hue. Wait at least two weeks between shampooing and bleaching. Use conditioner for blonde or color-treated hair. Apply toner to neutralize brassiness and even out the tone.

Dyeing:

Use a hair dye with conditioning fruit oils. Part your hair into sections and follow package instructions. Multiple sessions may be needed for darker roots. Use aftercare products designed for bleached hair.

Maintenance:

Platinum hair requires ongoing touch-ups. Visit a stylist experienced in coloring blonde hair. Deep condition your hair before salon visits. Toners are used to redeposit color, even out porosity, and seal in shine.
