With platinum highlights

The black hair contrasts with platinum locks look amazing and that's why this style has been making women's heads. In this category we have blonde, white and gray locks. The choice will depend on your style and the type of look you want. Check out the inspirations we selected:

Blondes

Conquering black hair with platinum highlights depends on a number of factors. First it is necessary to assess whether the hair is natural or dyed black. In the case of dyeing, it may be necessary to remove all the dye and then bleach it, a process that can end up destroying the locks and can only be done by a trained professional.

If the hair is natural it is a little easier. Bet on a good quality bleach that respects the time indicated to leave it in the hair. A single application can open up to eight tones, making it possible to paint the locks with dye in shades of blonde, without the need to bleach until it is very light.

For those who enjoy an alternative look, fancy paints are a dream. Don't know what fancy ink is? This is the name we give to unnatural hair colors like blue, green, and pink.

Bleached hair requires a series of care so as not to become dry, brittle and with a “straw” effect. The first step is to nourish the hair before discoloring it by moisturizing it once a week for a month.

Discoloration should only be carried out on hair that has been dirty for at least two days. The natural oiliness of the scalp will help protect the hair without compromising the opening of tones. Use quality products, preferably blue bleaching powder.

If it is necessary to discolor more than once to reach the right tone to receive the dye, it is necessary to wait a few days to do the new discoloration.

After discoloration, weekly hydration and reconstruction care begins. If you opted for a toner, for example, it will also be necessary to maintain the color every fortnight.
