Platinum Blonde Tutorial

Learn the steps how to go from black hair to blonde.  Follow the rules and take care of your hair to keep your blonde hair look healthy. Then try to do touch ups every month or two.

This is super helpful and very informative video tutorial if you  get your hair orange and yellow but never platinum.

When your roots grow in bleach it once. At first it appears even, but as it grows out in about 2 weeks you can see a slight tint of yellow. When you need to touch up your roots again (the following month), go over the yellowness and the new growth. Usually two bleach sessions would do, as hair near the root bleach/dyes faster. You can wait two months since your bangs cover your front roots, but it really depends if you have somewhere/someone to see or not.

Below are listed all of the products needed

• Goldwell Oxycur Lightener and
• 30 Vol. Topchic Developer

Mix one scoop of lightener and 30ml developer. Leave on for 30 minutes up to 45 minutes max. If you’re going platinum, you would need to bleach 3 times all together and then apply a purple based toner.
This product ‘foams’ during the developing time, so don’t just “paint” it on. Use your hands to work the bleach in. Make sure you apply just enough so it doesn’t get dry before the 30-45 minutes, it’ll really damage your hair!

This is the lightener and the developer you’ll need.

*DO NOT USE HEAT WITH THESE PRODUCTS! ALSO make sure to buy the measuring bowl so you can measure out the developer correctly!

Additional products you’ll need:

• Hot Oil
• Dumb Blonde Reconstructor
• Silver Expressions shampoo & conditioner
• Fanci Full Ultra White Minx toner (temporary- washes out in one shampoo)
• Igora Gloss Iceflower toner (fades after about 10 washes)

After getting them blonde it will take awhile before your hair is manageable again. Be patient and very gentle with your hair! Don’t blow-dry. If you do, make sure you use the setting where it’s cool air, not hot. Don’t shampoo for the FIRST week- just use conditioner, hot oil, and the reconstructor.
