Platinum Blonde Hair Ideas for Pinays
We've rounded up some platinum blonde hair inspo for you. Check them out!
Platinum blonde hair color is a pale blonde shade that’s so light it’s almost white. But unlike icy blonde, platinum blonde hair has a silvery, metallic appearance. It also has a warm undertone, making it a flattering hair color for morenas.
Platinum blonde hair gives you a scene-stealing look. However, such a drastic change from your natural, dark hair color can be risky. Your scalp might sting, and it can be extremely painful if it’s your first time to have your hair bleached blonde. Your hair will be exposed to chemicals and heat during the coloring process, both of which can extremely damage your hair. Bleach can cause dryness and hair breakage. In short, you have to be mentally, emotionally, and physically ready for a platinum blonde makeover.
If you have prepared properly and have adequately done your research, you can totally fulfill your dream of having a head of beautiful, bleached blonde locks. Read on to check out some platinum blonde inspiration and tips on how to properly get ready for your dye job.

5 Things You Should Do Before Going Platinum Blonde
1. Give your hair a break from chemicals.
Going platinum blonde soon? You should first give your hair a break from styling treatments that can cause permanent damage to your hair. That means no coloring, no perming, no rebonding, nothing! If your hair is already colored, try to grow out as much of your existing dye job as possible to achieve an even platinum blonde shade.
2. Don’t wash your hair!
Before you protest, calm down. It’s just for a couple of days leading up to your salon appointment. This should replenish the natural oils on your scalp, protecting you against the harsh chemicals that will be used in your platinum blonde dye job.
3. Go to a reputable salon.
If it’s your first time to go for such a high-risk hair transformation, don’t scrimp by trying to do it yourself. You might end up doing more harm than good. A hairstylist who knows what they’re doing (and who won’t dare ruin their and their salon’s reputation) should be able to take your hair from dark to light properly. If you don’t have a go-to salon yet, lurk on beauty forums and read reviews to discover the best colorists and hairstylists in your area.
4. Keep your hair moisturized.
Coloring your hair, in general, can make it drier, but the damage is definitely worse when you’re aiming for a shade as light as platinum blonde. The process involves repeated bleaching in such a short span of time, and if your hair is not in top shape, you can end up with dry, straw-like strands.
5. Repair damage.
Before you subject your hair to more stress, make sure it’s not damaged, to begin with. Weeks or even months before you bleach your hair, use products like hair masks and conditioners that help repair damage and leave it more resilient. This way, you don’t end up with extremely dry and damaged hair after the procedure.
Editor’s tip: Use Dove Keratin Repair 1 Minute Serum Conditioner to help nurse your hair back to its healthy-looking state. It has keratin-infused serum capsules that go deep into your hair strands to repair it from the inside. For best results, use it with Dove Intense Repair 1 Minute Serum Shampoo.
Now, you know how to prepare for a platinum blonde dye job and how to wear your new hair color after the treatment. Just make sure to give your blonde hair extra TLC so it stays vibrant for a long time.
