Platinum blonde: shades, how to do it and how to maintain it!

And like everything in fashion, which can be a little strange at first, it just takes some time to adapt, and that's what happened with platinum hair.

Gradually, the Spanish women started with lighter locks, until platinum blonde appeared more strongly and today it is quite common for women who decide to bet on the look.

And if you are wanting to surrender to this hair color, the post brings tips on how to make/dye platinum hair, how to maintain it, and shades for light strands.

 

Models and Shades of Platinum Blonde

grayish

For women who are wanting to adopt hair with gray tones, attention is needed. The shade must be done so that it does not turn gray, otherwise it may age.

A tip to prevent the shade from aging is to leave the root slightly darker or pull out some dark strands. The eyebrow color should not follow that of the strands, and can be kept in the shade of brown.

Golden

For those afraid of taking a radical risk in total platinum, one of the alternatives is to bet on platinum with a gold background.

The coloring is not golden blonde, but golden platinum. In this case, the platinum process is done before and after the locks gain a golden hue that can be more open or more closed.

For the color of the eyebrows, the tip remains to keep the natural tone, or lighten the very dark eyebrow by two tones, but never try to achieve the same color as platinum.

White

For the most daring women, white platinum is one of the possibilities. The color gives the hair a lot of prominence, and matches lighter skin tones, but that's not a rule.

For those who are going to adopt this tone, the process to achieve the tone can be more time consuming and requires a lot of maintenance.

And in this case, the rule is clear… NEVER dye your eyebrows the same color. Otherwise, the look will be granny.

platinum lights

If you're still afraid to take a full risk with platinum blonde all over your hair, you can start slowly and with highlights.

To make highlights on the hair, always go to a good professional so that the platinum locks are not marked. Ideally, the result should be as natural as possible.

If you want a more striking look, bet on more lights, otherwise, start with thinner lights blended into your hair tone.

with reverse locks

Inverse or inverted wicks are a very common process when already using wicks.

The technique is adopted in those who have been doing locks for some time and the hair already has a predominance in the color of the lock. In this case, the inverted strand is used, which uses a darker tone, and close to the natural color, to once again highlight the lightening of the strands.

In the case of platinum blonde, the reverse locks can be pulled from the root, which gives a more natural effect.

Ombré with dark smoky roots

A well-known technique that is successful among Spanish women is ombré hair. The process consists of whitening the tips more and leaving the root more natural.

In the case of platinum blonde, the root can lead to a black tone and the smokey eye must be natural and with some highlights to give it a natural look.

Short hair

Short, platinum hair values ​​women and conveys authenticity. The very light color tends to mark the cut more, but it's a dream!

So, if you love your short locks, you can choose the shade that will pull off the platinum blonde, but avoid dark and long roots, as short strands do not allow for the ombré hair effect so naturally.

Curly hair

Let's leave all the rules aside, after all, platinum is already a color for those who are authentic, and assuming the curls with the strands in the light tone is the desire of many women!

The tip for curly girls who are going to platinum their locks is to invest in treatments and hydration. The shape of the strand already prevents the natural oiliness of the hair from reaching the ends, which leaves the hair looking dry. And along with coloring, this effect can be intensified, so bet on constant hydration to leave the wires well treated.

In brunettes and blacks

Skin color doesn't define anything, and if you want to lighten your hair and go for platinum blonde, don't be afraid.

To give the platinum effect a natural look, bet on the darker root, which will match the color of the eyebrow.

Care and maintenance should be the same as for women with curly hair.

With colorful fantasy wicks

Many women bet on the platinum look and then on colored hair that gains more intensity with light strands.

For those who are going to adopt this style, it is worth using the different shades of platinum, but beware of excessive coloring, which can damage the locks.

With rosy highlights

Another trend for platinum blonde is to bet on the combination with light pink.

The colored dye can be used only on the ends, like an ombré hair, or be in highlights effects, predominating in the middle of the light strands.

with black highlights

One of the trends for platinum blonde is to mix it with black locks. The colors make the strands stand out, and it's worth pulling the black from the root, or investing in the strand at the back of the neck; which creates the blended effect on the length of the hair only.

in ladies

For women who insist on fighting against white roots, platinum, in addition to being modern, is a solution to disguise white hair.

The ideal for ladies is to bet on the tonality that tends towards white with darker and more natural locks, or change the platinum blonde to a golden tone, leaving the hair modern.

How to get platinum blonde hair Step by step

For those who are thinking about joining the platinum hair trend, you need to be very careful when discoloring the hair.

To achieve the color you need to choose the right tone and it is not always possible to reach the expected result at once, even more so for women with brown and black hair.

To give you a little help, we've separated some tutorials on how to do the process, but it's always good to look for a professional to achieve the desired shade.

 

 

 

How to Maintain the Platinum Tone and Remove the Yellow Hair?

For those who have already reached platinum hair, the task now is to maintain the beauty of the locks and ensure that they are always in a light shade, instead of yellowish or even orange. For this, there are some basic care and specific products:

• Antioxidant Shampoo: This type of shampoo is a staple in the platinum blonde women's bathroom. The formula of this type of product helps to clean the wires more deeply, preventing yellowness from appearing. The ideal is to use the antioxidant shampoo, before washing with another shampoo, as if it were a pre-shampoo.
• Toning Mask: This type of mask is usually darker in color, like purple, and is well known to women with blonde hair. In addition to hydrating the locks, the matizador mask neutralizes the tone and removes the yellowish effect that begins to appear in the wires. The use of the tinting mask is indicated weekly.
• Retouch: there is no way to escape this process. Retouching the root is a key step in maintaining platinum hair. For women who opted for platinum blonde from the roots, the ideal is to do the touch-up every 15 days. As for the women who opted for darker roots and the rest of the highlights lighter, the retouching does not need to be so frequent.

How to Treat Discolored Hair? Product Care and Tips

1. Shampoo: the start of washing is essential. Forget the basic items you already had in the box and bet on specific products for dyed hair. In the case of shampoo, choose an option for dyed hair without salt, which prevents the hair from drying out. Oh, and remember to use the antioxidant shampoo to prevent platinum blonde from yellowing.
2. Hydration: chemical processes tend to leave the strands more exposed, and the bleaching process is very damaging to the locks, so to prevent platinum hair from becoming dry, it is essential to constantly moisturize. Bet on a hydration mask for dyed hair and before applying it to the strands, mix the mask with a few drops (between 3 and 5) of some hair oil, such as argan oil. Hydration can even replace the conditioner, as it has a more potent effect on the recovery of highlights.
3. Leave-in and hair oils: after washing the hair, the hair also needs protection, which helps prevent dryness due to the sun, wind and pollution. In this case, bet on a good leave-in for dyed hair and a few drops of hair oil. Oh, and never pass the root, otherwise the wires can get heavy and look dirty.
4. Treatments: treating at home helps a lot, but sometimes you have to go to the salon for a more potent treatment. When going to the salon, one of the indicated treatments is cauterization with liquid keratin. The process helps to recover the elasticity of the strands and leaves the hair with more shine.
