How Do I Get Platinum Blonde Hair?
July 24, 2008
Hi Katie,
I bleached my hair a few weeks ago and now it is a light yellow blonde. I really want white/platinum blonde hair. I have used a toner and that took a lot of the yellow out but it’s still not as light as i want it. What can I do?
Please do not tell me to go to a salon. I went to a salon to get it bleached, spent $100 just to get bright orange/blonde that I had to fix myself. I’m not going to another salon.
Please Help! Danica

Dear Danica,
Try using L’Oreal “Super Blonde” which will lighten your hair all the way…comb it through your strands evenly and make sure you leave it on long enough. (I leave it on for 45 mins to an hour, but since you have already bleached your hair you can skip this step. But for everyone else, after using Super Blonde, wash it out thourghly and dry your hair. Once dry it will not be the exact color you want it.
It will look really pale and yellowish…this is normal, do not panic! This is the stage your hair is in right now. So next you are going to use a semi permanent color that is light blonde or golden or ash blonde. Two of my favorites is by Revlon Colorist or Colorsilk
Comb through your hair thoughouly and leave this hair color on you hair for only 5-7 minutes and rinse. Then, if your color is too brassy or yellow use a purple shampoo such as Shimmer Lights to tone it down…when using this shampoo, lather it really well and make sure not to leave it in too long. Only thirty seconds at a time.
If it is still too brassy or yellowish, use the purple shampoo again each day until you see the results you want. (but make sure not to over use…this will turn you hair a purplish or grayish color) If you use it in 30 second intervals you will achieve the “white or platinum” look you want.
I’ve been doing this now because to my own hair for a couple years now. I know what you mean, I could never get the salon to do it right either! Now I get it just how I want it.
If you have any trouble with using this technique, feel free to email me again and I will help you to get the results you are looking for!
xoxo Katie
