1. Lightening
To achieve platinum white hair, you will need to bleach out all of the natural colors present in your strands and use bleaching solutions on them. This process may take time, so be patient! Attaining the ideal shade may take multiple sessions. Rooted platinum blonde is an increasingly popular style for creating a soft dark-to-light gradient effect.
2. Toner
After bleaching, to maintain a natural-looking blonde, you’ll require a toner to restore its original hue. Opting for one in the opposite color as your own can remove unwanted brassy tones or yellow shades that might arise after lightening your locks. Rachel suggests toning at the same level that you lifted your hair. So if you are going platinum, tone up to level 10.
3. Bleaching
Bleaching hair color may be damaging, but the risk can be worth taking for a stunning silvery blonde hue that has become popular with celebrities. Bleaching dark hair to platinum or white can take multiple sessions depending on its base color. To achieve a natural platinum blonde shade, use a low-volume developer for bleaching the hair and once pale yellow in color, apply a toner to neutralize any unwanted brassiness and turn your locks pure white.
4. Highlights
Platinum hair involves bleaching out any natural pigmentation from your strands to turn them white, so be aware that this process could take some time. Highlighting your locks can be an excellent way to lighten them without making permanent changes. Use of purple shampoo can help neutralize brassy tones in your hair, helping maintain an appealing platinum blonde hue.
5. Conditioning
Once your locks have been lightened and toned, a conditioning treatment should be administered to nourish your locks and reduce breakage and seal cuticles. We suggest the Herbatint Platinum Blond Conditioner for best results. To keep your platinum blonde strands healthy, use dry shampoo in between shampoo sessions. Also look for shampoos without sulfates as these tend to dry out lighter hair textures.
Remember, platinum white hair can look stunning when styled into soft beach waves or wavy bob haircuts; both will highlight its brilliance.
