What is platinum blond?

Since Daenerys Targaryen, the main character in Game of Throne, has become a true sex symbol , everybody swears by the platinum blonde ( Marilyn Monroe remains the first ambassador of the platinum blonde). Mannequins, actresses, stars all adopted this blond winter. Blonde Venetian, platinum, snow, blond color and its 50 shades of colors have already dreamed all those who were not. The blond platinum, tends towards white and the formula is simple: discoloration (to remove any pigment from the hair) and patina (to neutralize reflections). Pure color, it requires a lot of maintenance and sacrifice for some.

Platinum blond for all?

Whether we are blonde , brown, red or brown, we can all aspire to become a blonde platinum day. Although this coloring of hair is more advantageous on skin tones fairly clear, it can give a blow of pep's and affirm a character on darker skins. But you have to want it and be ready to take the plunge and accept certain sacrifices . Because even though all types of hair can look like the "dragon princess", certain conditions are required.

- The fine and damaged hair will have to pass through the box cut to obtain a nice result. Because the discoloration attacks the hair and asks that a regular refreshment of the tips is done.

- Dark hair should also be expected to cut, depending on the resistance of the hair, because to pass from a dark color to a very light blond, we must remove the many pigments present in our mane. It is therefore necessary sometimes to pass several times to the hairdresser before obtaining the much awaited color when our hair is very dark.

Do not panic, if our hair is resistant and in good condition, cutting the hair will not be essential. But switching to the platinum blond must be reflected.

Platinum Hair Care

The maintenance of the platinum blond is not an easy thing and often costs very expensive . The maintenance should be regular, for a brown base, it is necessary to redo its roots every 3 weeks and for the blondes, it depends on the base color. But the most important is the care that unwinds the hair. Because we want to keep our winter color, we must take care of her hair and especially her color . Emma Guerri, training director Saint-Algue recommends two-phase Silver care that contains slightly purple pigments alternating with shampoos that protect and repair the hair.
