The fashion for platinum hair was entered, certainly, by Marilyn Monroe. In spite of the fact that from the moment of its peak popularity has passed more than 50 years, the platinum hair color still remains dream of many female blondes.
To achieve platinum blond sometimes happens very difficult. The main enemy of such noble pleasant color is the natural yellowness of hair which appears even at strong clarification over time. Women who have dark hair and swarty skin most often face such problem. Only some Scandinavian girls can brag of fair hair without yellowness: exactly thanks to them the second name of platinum blond – Scandinavian blond has appeared.
Before passing to coloring of hair into platinum color, you will need to be clarified as much as possible. If you have dark hair, then you should carry out the procedure of decolorization twice, using at the same time clarifiers on 4–6 tones. It is desirable to take break in 1–2 weeks between clarification. Owners of light shades of hair (fair-haired, red, blond) need clarifier on 1–2 tones. If you have very fair hair by nature, then decolorization is not required to you.
For receiving platinum shade of hair you can use two types of the painting means: coloring balms (shampoos) or resistant paints. The first means will do to your hair less harm, than paints. By and large unimportantly you will use paint or what balm of firm. If you use balm, then you will need just to apply it on all length of hair and to keep it 15–20 minutes. Usually the appearance of such balms does not correspond to real shade on hair – you can find in bottle with balm liquid of both blue, and violet colors! Do not worry! Violet color will give platinum shade on hair. If you use resistant paint of platinum color, remember that it is possible to use it only on the clarified or very fair hair. Otherwise you will only spoil hair, without having received desirable color.
If you consider that after hair-dyeing you can forget about leaving and maintenance of color, then you strongly are mistaken. First, platinum blond demands careful and daily leaving. Secondly, you should forget about acceptance of solar bathtubs as ultraviolet will quickly minimize platinum shade, having returned natural yellowness of the clarified hair. For maintenance of platinum hair color you will need to tint hair constantly. You can use balms of platinum shades with frequency at least time in 2 weeks.
