Platinum hair color came into fashion at the beginning of the 20th century. Hollywood film stars, including Marilyn Monroe, often appeared with him. Their images are relevant among modern fashionistas who dream of becoming like the idols of generations.
Who does platinum go to?
Cold platinum color must be selected taking into account the color type. Otherwise, the image will come out awkward and funny. It is ideal for "winter" with pale, transparent, porcelain skin and blue, blue or gray eyes. There may be a pink or peach blush. In rare cases, a combination of platinum with brown or green eyes is allowed - if the hair and skin tone fully meet the requirements. As for the original hair color, the best “platinum” girls come from fair-haired girls - the new look makes them brighter, more mysterious, and sexier.
A woman’s age also plays an equally important role. Platinum shades will suit young girls who prefer cascading or torn haircuts. But we advise older women to take a closer look at natural blonde tones. Platinum here can only be in the form of thin strands.
Platinum shades
Platinum hair color can be varied. Here are some variations.
Platinum blonde
Platinum blonde is dazzling and bright. Ideal for both long and ultra-short hair.
Platinum silver
Pure and beautiful color with metallic notes. It can be achieved using semi-permanent dyes or tinted silver shampoo. The composition does not need to be kept for long. Remember, platinum absorbs extraneous tones very quickly, so for a natural shade without the effect of gray hair, just wait literally 10 minutes.
Platinum blonde
The light brown tint in platinum hair looks very interesting. Being a little darker than the previous options, it resembles sun-bleached strands. This is perhaps the most natural version of platinum that spring/summer color types can experiment with.
Pearl Platinum
Cool blonde color with a touch of mother-of-pearl.
Platinum-ash
The cool ash platinum color has a grayish tone that makes it look like gray hair.
Platinum staining - features of home transformation
The biggest downside to platinum shades is that they are incredibly difficult to achieve at home. Only an experienced colorist can choose the right dye, taking into account the color type and original hair color. But lack of experience often results in blonde hair with a yellow tint.
If you decide to dye your hair at home, get ready for multiple lightenings (2-3 times), especially if you are a brunette or brown-haired woman.
To avoid various misunderstandings, strictly follow our instructions:
Step 1: Bleaching
For this purpose, hydrogen peroxide solutions are used. They come in three types:
- Aqueous solutions (low peroxide content) - suitable for light hair. This is the most affordable remedy that you can buy at the pharmacy or prepare yourself;
- Oil solutions - created for chestnut and chocolate strands. Their oil base is less damaging to the structure;
- Powdered lighteners are the most powerful products used for black hair that is difficult to lighten.
Mix the mixture in a bowl and apply it to dry hair, dividing it into partings. If there are regrown roots, then you need to start with them. If the strands are uniform, lubricate the entire length. Wait for the time indicated in the instructions and wash your hair with shampoo.
Attention! Don't forget to test for an allergic reaction. To do this, apply the solution to the crook of your elbow or wrist. If there are no negative effects, you can safely move on to lightening.
Step 2. Coloring
The dye that is applied to the hair after bleaching will give it the desired shade. You can choose permanent or semi-permanent dye, or you can use a tinting balm.
Some of the best remedies include:
- Color Naturals by Garnier 111 - Platinum Blonde;
- Color Sensation from Garnier 111 - Ultra blonde platinum;

How to care for platinum shades?
Caring for platinum hair after dyeing is one of the most important conditions. To avoid yellowing and pigment washout, follow these tips:
- Tip 1. Wash your hair with a special silver shampoo.
- Tip 2. The conditioner and mask should also contain a purple undertone.
- Tip 3. Make masks regularly for colored or damaged hair.
- Tip 4. Avoid home remedies based on oils and herbs - they cause yellowness.
Make-up, haircut, wardrobe for platinum blondes
With platinum hair color, haircut, make-up and clothing require special attention. It is advisable to choose textured haircuts (pixie, garcon or bob). A bob with pointed ends and straight bangs to the eyebrows is also suitable. For girls who prefer medium hair length and long hair, we recommend cascade, ladder or aurora. The main thing is that your hair is healthy. A slurred hairstyle with split and burnt ends will not make you look any better.
Let's move on to makeup. For every day, choose natural tones - makeup should be as natural as possible and well shaded. It is better to replace black mascara with brown one. Take care of your eyebrows - they should be perfect! For the evening, black eyeliner and bright red lipstick are acceptable - they will bring you closer to the image of Hollywood film stars.
And the last thing is clothes. In the wardrobe of a platinum blonde, items of cool colors must predominate:
- Pink;
- Grey;
- Marsala;
- White;
- Blue;
- Black;
- Blue;
- Lilac.
Finally, look at the photos that will help you create a new style.
After reading the “editorials” of glossy publications, it begins to seem that this hair color became relevant only in our century, and before that it was not appreciated. But it is not so. It was interesting to stylish beauties (including Marilyn Monroe) back in the early 20th century.
Who is platinum blonde suitable for?
Since platinum hair color belongs to the cold range, it will suit beauties with an identical color type. Of course, sometimes fashion bloggers try to combine it with a classic warm look, but often the look turns out funny and not harmonious.
It is best suited for the “winter”, that is, the owner of gray, blue or blue eyes, as well as porcelain, almost transparent skin (sometimes decorated with a light blush of peach or pink). If the skin is fair, the eyes may be green or even brown.
As for the base hair color, radiant ash, that is, platinum color most obediently falls on light brown strands. In this case, the new image becomes many times more mysterious and feminine.
Platinum hair color and age
Yes! Stylists are confident that only young girls (especially those with a ragged, cascading haircut) should completely dye their hair this color. If you are over forty, it is better to choose a natural blonde, complementing it with thin “strings” of platinum.
The most fashionable undertones of platinum hair color
Platinum blonde
Catchy, shining. It suits both minimum and maximum hair lengths equally well.
Silver platinum
“Metallic”, which is created by both semi-permanent paints and tinted shampoo with a silver effect. If you apply makeup at home, remember: you should not leave the paint on for more than 10 minutes, otherwise you will not get a fashionable shimmering color, but almost natural gray hair.
Light brown platinum
Darker than their aforementioned “brothers”. This tone looks like it's faded. It is considered the most natural in this line. Suitable for beauties of spring and summer color types.
Platinum pearl
Cold blonde, characterized by pearlescent tints.
Platinum Ash
Another cold undertone, reminiscent of gray hair (by the way, fashionable this season).
Difficulties in coloring
Having decided to try on one of the listed colors, many fashionistas are faced with a difficulty: the right tone cannot be created without the help of an experienced stylist. If you take a chance and call a friend for help, you may mistakenly dye your hair yellowish blond.
The second difficulty: it is not so easy to get this dye to take on dark hair. To get the look like in a magazine, a girl with brown or black hair needs to lighten it several times. Hydrogen peroxide is used. These solutions are:
Water. The weakest, suitable for fair-haired girls. In addition, they are affordable and can even be found at the pharmacy.
Oily. Moderately harmful, suitable for brown-haired women.
In powder form. The strongest, but also the most caustic. Created for brunettes, as well as those with “harmful” hair.
How to dye your hair platinum blonde
Dividing dry hair into partings, apply the composition. If your roots have already grown, then of course you should treat them first.
Hold the composition as written in the instructions, and then wash it off with water and shampoo.
Now you need to apply paint (semi-permanent or permanent), or a tonic balm.
How to care for platinum hair
Sometimes the pigment is washed out and the hair turns yellow. To prevent this from happening, you need to:
Buy a special shampoo (silver).
Select all hair cosmetics (masks, conditioners) with purple undertones.
Masks, store-bought or homemade, should be chosen for damaged or colored hair.
Forget about herbal rinses, homemade oil masks. Such products make hair more yellow.
Suitable haircuts and makeup for platinum hair color
A haircut. For those with silver hair, hairdressers recommend something textured (bob, garcon, pixie). A bob that combines straight bangs touching the eyebrows, as well as pointed side ends, will also look good. If you prefer medium or long hair, choose Aurora, ladder, cascade. And of course, hair should not split or break.
Make up. For a “routine”, apply neutral, carefully shaded makeup. You can choose brown mascara. It is very important to carefully correct and line your eyebrows. Evening makeup includes scarlet lipstick and charcoal eyeliner.
Outfit. Cool colors should dominate your clothes: white, black, gray, blue, blue, pink.

Platinum blonde - many women dream of this hair color. In the photo he looks incredibly stylish and noble. However, obtaining it will require a lot of effort.

If you are determined, it will not hurt you to read the information below.
The agony of choice
Platinum hair color is the purest shade of blonde, but at the same time the most insidious. The photo shows that it is not suitable for every girl. And this is not just a matter of color type discrepancy.
Platinum is a cool color, without traces of yellow or red. Therefore, girls of a cold color type - winter and summer - can safely decide on it. The main criteria here are as follows.
- The skin is light, perfectly smooth, pinkish or peachy.
- Hair - the lighter it is, the better. Platinum pigment works especially well on light brown hair. Dark-haired young ladies should either abandon this shade, or prepare for the fact that they will have to lighten their hair several times, which can ruin their hair.
- Eyes – bright or light blues are best. But this does not mean that beauties with green, brown, even black eyes cannot try to achieve their ideal. The main condition is that the skin is light.
It is ideal if a woman has expressive facial features, otherwise her face will be invisible against the backdrop of too noticeable hair. And of course, girls who prefer platinum hair color are predominantly young people. They can easily afford bold, extravagant, daring looks. The older the woman, the more natural shades are preferred for her.
Those who definitely don't like platinum hair color are women with dark skin: dark, olive, golden. It is better for them to prefer golden, linen light shades.
If we look at a photo of platinum-colored hair, we can highlight the following variations:
- silver – a cool shade, very close to gray hair, with a slight blue tint;
- ashy – light tone with a slightly grayish tint;
- light brown - among all the shades, platinum is the warmest, reminiscent of sun-bleached hair, only without the characteristic yellowish impurity;
- pearl - cold tone with a pearlescent tint.

Features of transformation
Women who want to know how to achieve platinum hair color should understand that this shade is one of the most difficult and capricious. You should be prepared that you will have to lighten the strands, possibly several times.
After the coloring procedure, be prepared to tint once every two weeks to maintain the desired shade.
Before tinting, the strands are lightened. For this purpose, various means and compositions are used. They come in three types.
- Water-based, containing a low percentage of peroxide. Used for initially light hair.
- Oil solutions - suitable for dark (chestnut, chocolate) strands. The oil base allows the hair to avoid severe damage.
- Powders are the so-called “heavy artillery”. Suitable even for black curls or those that are difficult to lighten.
When deciding to lighten your curls, do not forget about the harm that is caused to your hair and scalp. Therefore, it would be a good idea to test the solution for tolerance before the procedure by applying a small amount to a sensitive area of the skin.
The phase following the lightening process is painting. Remember that platinum blonde hair color, as in the photo, can be achieved by dyeing only bleached curls. Depending on the base and quality of the coloring agent, the degree of pigment penetration, color fastness, and durability vary.
How to make beautiful pure platinum hair color at home? It's not easy, but it's possible. 
You will need the following tools:
- latex gloves;

After the magical transformation into platinum blonde, you will have a long and difficult struggle for beautiful hair. This struggle requires compliance with the following stages.

Light, almost white. Platinum blonde doesn't suit everyone. Many factors must be taken into account to achieve an aesthetic result. Take into account the color and character of hair, skin color, eyes, eyebrows.
Color Features
The flawless platinum shade looks stylish. It is difficult to obtain it at home. It needs careful care.
Before changing colors, ask yourself the right questions:
- Do I have light brown hair?“I can start without much fear.” To get the desired result, I need one visit to the hairdresser.
- I have dark hair, ranging from dark brown to black?— Going to platinum blonde will be more difficult. The process can lead to weakening of the hair, as several bleaching sessions will be required.
Bleaching is necessary in any case. Its purpose is to open the hair cuticles to remove the initial pigments from them. It doesn't do any good. Therefore, proper aftercare is important. Poor quality paint or errors in the technological process and that’s it. Instead of platinum blonde, you'll get yellow—at best. At worst, severely damaged hair.
Choose an experienced professional. He must have knowledge in the field of color. Know how to correctly combine tones, neutralize unwanted pigments in order to get a real, noble platinum blonde.
Who suits platinum blonde?
Can everyone dye their hair this blonde? Not for everyone. An example of a failed experiment is the star Kim Kardashian. The fatal beauty of the brunette, with black eyes and dark skin, has faded.
Platinum blonde is ideal for women:
- With fair skin - pale, porcelain, ivory, with a blue undertone.
- With a doll-like appearance - a small nose, large eyes and lips.
- Young, daring girls who are not afraid to experiment with their looks.
The older the woman, the more natural her hair color should be. This shade is not relevant for women with dark skin. Consider whether it is worth dyeing your hair such a light tone if your hair is naturally dark. You will have to carry out complete depigmentation. This is very damaging to your hair.
How to dye your hair platinum blonde
The first is depigmentation. Lighting is necessary in all cases. Whether it's blond or brown hair. In the case of fair-haired hair, it is possible to lighten it in one go. For dark hair, several depigmentation procedures are necessary.
Important! Before lightening, we do a test strand. It will allow you to assess the condition of your hair. Understand whether they will withstand depigmentation and what kind of lightening background can be achieved.
For a pure shade you need a pure background - 10 pale yellow. It is tinted with low oxide dye. Pure platinum will not work on hair that has previously been dyed with natural mixtures - henna, basma. The shade will contain admixtures of yellow and even red.
After the coloring procedure, you need to apply a special mask and balm.

Complementing the image

Ash is a very fashionable hair color that has many shades and undertones. Its features:
- This is a cool shade, which explains its popularity, because... it suits common cold color types.
- This is a color at the junction of green and blue, sometimes with a small addition of purple, which adds pearly, pearlescent notes to the color.
Everyone imagines ashy color in their own way: for some it is an ash-platinum blonde, for others it is a pearl-steel shade. Let's consider the main directions in this color. 
Who is it suitable for?
Ash hair color suits girls:
- with a cool or neutral skin tone (in theory there are 4 color types, these are summer and winter);
- with blue, dark brown eyes. If the white of the eye is a contrasting cool color, it will also suit green and brown eyes.
And not suitable for girls:
- with warm-toned, tanned skin. In this case, the coldness of the ash will not be in harmony with the warmth of the skin. If you have warm skin, it is better to choose caramel-golden-ash shades.
Ash blonde
The brightest and most popular blonde is ashy, without yellowness. The correct shade of ash on a blonde emphasizes the color of the eyes, hides slight redness, and enhances the contrast of appearance. This kind of blonde is difficult to achieve, because... it requires pre-lightening the hair. The lightening background (this is the hair color after lightening) must be clear from level 9, and especially without red. 
Then on such a clean background you can get a beautiful ashy shade of blonde. Otherwise, it may turn out a dirty greenish-gray color. 
Ash brown hair color
Light brown color with an ashy tint is a cool direction of dark blond. A beautiful deep color, but not as bright as ash blonde, more muted and natural. 
If your hair is light enough (light brown or lighter), then this color can be obtained by tinting it in the ashy direction. But if it’s darker, then even for dark blond it is necessary to first lighten the hair with powder and get a clean background, and then paint it ash-blond. Then the color will be just perfect platinum. 
Dark ash color
Dark ash is a rich dark blond (from level 6 and below) cool color. Suitable for contrasting cold color types. 
Ash pink
A beautiful shade of ash with the addition of a red tint will give freshness to the face, suitable for girls with redness on the face. 
Ash brown
Ash brown color is brown with a cool platinum direction. A color at the junction, containing the warmth of brown, chestnut shade and noble ash tint. 
Pearl-ash (pearl)
Pearl ash hair color contains ash, a little violet and pink. Noble, very fashionable shade. For those who have not yet decided, but already want to add bright notes. The pearlescent quality conceals and compensates for the coldness and greenishness of the ash. 
Ash purple
Ash purple hair color is suitable for bright and bold girls. 
Silver-ash (gray)
Ash-silver is not a flashy color and at the same time bright, gloomy. If you play it up with makeup and clothes, it looks very impressive.
But the gray-ash color can emphasize redness and make the skin look pale, so you need to be careful with it. 
Ash blue
Ash and blue is a bright, slightly doll-like hair color, but effective. Requires a perfectly clean background lighting. 
Ash gold
The name of this color contains a contradiction of heat and cold. Ash golden or beige ash hair color is a neutral shade, neither warm nor cold. Ideal for the summer, when the skin becomes tanned and discords with the very cold ash on the hair. 
Caramel-ash
Ashy with caramel is a cocktail of light brown color with ash, warm beige and light pink. Suitable for warm and cold color types, as well as tanned skin. 
Natural
Natural ash color is very common for the summer color type. But natural ash is more inconspicuous than synthetic ash and is often called “mouse ash.” But a priori it suits the color of the skin and eyes, and does not show yellowness. Proper care will make your hair shiny and enhance the beauty of your hair and color. 
On the square
The length of the bob allows you to reveal the shimmer of ashy color. 
For short hair
Ash color will ideally emphasize the boldness and brightness of a short haircut. 
Highlighting and ash color
Well-lightened strands in foil during highlighting allow you to get a pure ash blonde with further toning. The platinum, silver shade of highlighted strands blends beautifully with the natural darker color of natural hair. 
Ash ombre and balayage
, balayage, shatush lighten part of the hair, which is then dyed in colors from dark ash to platinum blonde. Beautiful smooth stretch marks of ashy color look chic, impressive, give depth and volume to the hair by darkening the roots, and bright color by lightening the blonde hair. 
Before and after
How to paint
The ash color scheme depends on:
- Original hair color (natural, dyed, dark, light)
- Desired ashen color (blonde, light brown, dark, etc.)
- Thickness, quality of hair, etc.
Let's look at the most basic coloring schemes in common ashy shades.
How to get ash blonde
General scheme for obtaining an ash blonde: -> tinting to an ashy shade.
Situation 1. Natural hair
Let's consider the situation with the original natural hair. Natural hair can be:
- Light (rare natural blondes from level 9 and above)
- Fair-haired (from 6th to 8th level)
- Brown-haired and brunette (from 5th and below)
In the first case, to obtain ashy shades, you can get by with tinting (coloring with a small percentage of oxide) or an even more gentle version of tinted balms and shampoos. In the second case, preliminary clarification with powder is necessary. Lightening dyes will not give a cold ash blonde; a rich golden hue will remain.
- Powder + oxide 6% (for very fine hair 3%)
- Proportion 1:2 (1 part powder and 2 parts oxide)
Application: Apply the mixture to the length, 1.5 cm from the roots. Wait 10 minutes and apply to roots. There should be a lot of mixture, it should cover all the hair evenly. Rinse well with shampoo, apply balm or conditioner. Then tinting is necessary, the tinting scheme will be described below for all cases. https://youtu.be/60zNYW4uAe4 With dark shades of natural hair, it is difficult to immediately get a good clean base after lightening, so you need to lighten it 2-3 times with an interval of 2-4 weeks.
Situation 2. Dyed or bleached hair
Pre-lightened hair, completely or partially (highlighting, ombre extensions, balayage, shatush), all that remains is to tint it to the desired shade. But those painted in any color must first be lightened to a clear background, and then tinted. Then you will get the perfect ash blonde. 
Ash blonde hair tinting
Depending on the hair color obtained after bleaching, it is necessary to use different formulas for dyeing. After lightening, the color may be reddish or yellow. If there is a red or red tint, you need to lighten your hair again until the color turns out to be yellow or very light yellow. It is better to do this after 2-4 weeks, but in the meantime, tint your hair to an intermediate shade (brown, light brown). 
In the formula for creating an ashen color, it is necessary to add an additional purple tint (sometimes referred to as pearlescent), neutralizing the yellow background. The purple tint also contains red, which will prevent the appearance of a green tint. Because the yellow background after lightening, combining with the blue and green colors of the ash, gives green hair. To remove it, you need to add a purple, pearl shade or a little purple-red mixton (pea).
- With a very light yellow background (10), you need to add 1 part of an additional shade and 2 parts of ash at the 10th tone level. For example, londa 10/6 (10 g) + 10/1 (20 g).
- With a light yellow background (9), you need to add 1 part of an additional shade and 1 part of ashy at the 9th tone level. For example, estel 9/61 (15 g) + 9/1 (15 g).
- With a yellow background (8), you need to add 2 parts of an additional shade with violet and 1 part of ash at the 8th tone level. For example, wella illumina 8/69 (20 g) + 8/1 (10 g).
When tinting, the oxide used is as low as 1.5% (in some brands 1.9%). The standard proportion is 1 part paint 2 parts oxide. But the proportion may differ among different manufacturers (1:1.5).
Note: These are the most basic formulas for tinting an ashy blonde shade. There are many variations with mixtons, several additional shades and many nuances that appear when working with dyes from different manufacturers. But these basic formulas help you avoid confusion, take into account the neutralization of yellowness and get a beautiful platinum color.
Coloring in an ash-blond shade
When dyeing an ash-blond color, you must have an initial color of level 8 and preferably higher. If the original color is darker and has other directions (red, red), then it is necessary to first lighten the hair (see the previous section). And then tint according to the formula: 1 part purple (pearl, mother-of-pearl) + 1 part ash at the 7th tone level.
For example, Wella Color Touch 7/89 (20 g) + 7/1 (20 g).
At home
Dyeing your hair ashy at home is difficult, but with some knowledge and practice it is possible. It is especially difficult to lighten your hair evenly on your own, because... It is important to apply the mixture evenly to all hair and quickly, and it is easier to tint.
Dye
The first digit in the paint number is the level of tone depth, i.e. How dark is the paint? The higher, the brighter. For light blondes it is 9 or 10. For fair-haired people it is 7 or 8, brown-haired people are 5 or 6, and below that are brunettes. The second number after the fraction or dot is the direction of the color, for example, ash, golden, red. If the first digit in the dyes is the same, then the color direction designations in each brand of dye are different. Some manufacturers even introduce a letter designation. It is necessary to look for each specific brand separately.
To obtain an ashy color, choose the ashen direction accordingly and as additional colors for the coloring formula: violet, blue, sandre (violet-blue), pearl.
For example, for light brown-ash, you need to choose a dye with the first number 7 or 8 and the ash direction, for example 7/1.
Wella

How to maintain an ashy color
Cold ashy shades are very unstable and are quickly washed off. To maintain them you need:
- Use shampoo and conditioner for colored hair. This way the color will last longer.
- Once a week or 2, use a tinted shampoo with violet pigment (yellow neutralizer).
Care
Since ashy color is almost always obtained only on bleached hair, it requires careful:
- Once every 5 days, restorative masks under heat. Wash your hair with shampoo, squeeze out the moisture, apply a mask and leave for 15 minutes under heat (a plastic cap or bag and a towel heated with a hairdryer on top). Under the heat, the beneficial substances of the mask will penetrate deeper.
- When styling, be sure to use thermal protection.
- Use conditioner or balm every time you wash.
What to wear
Clothes in cool tones, both muted and bright, go well with a beautiful stylish ash hair color. 
Stars
Ash color is preferred this season by Karlie Kloss, Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lawrence.
