10 Insta-Worthy Platinum Highlights
Bleached blonde, but in baby steps.
Platinum hair: Just saying that phrase conjures up images of on-trend, gorgeous and, yes, high-maintenance style. If you love the idea of it, but don’t want the commitment, think about platinum highlights. You can get a few strands highlighted (maybe some to frame your face?) or try two or three different shades highlighting your hair. You can also have your stylist do extremely heavy platinum highlights all over your hair, so that it looks as if you went completely blonde from root to end.
Ed’s note: To keep your color looking fresh and bright, incorporate purple shampoos and conditioners into your hair care regimen. These products prevent fading, help keep color from turning brassy and also work to maintain your color. Try Bed Head by TIGI Dumb Blonde Purple Toning Shampoo and Bed Head by TIGI Dumb Blonde Reconstructor to keep hair healthy and manageable.
That said, here are a few of our fave looks guaranteed to garner you tons of Insta-likes. Read on:
