• Be ready to re-dye your hair every 4-6 weeks, either by yourself at home or with a colorist. If you’re opting for salon coloring, you can expect higher costs but a healthier and more complex color.
• Dry shampoo is the secret to keeping your hair looking fresh even when you’re avoiding shampoo. We love Batiste’s Original Dry Shampoo formula, which is available at Amazonas .
• Without care, platinum hair can take on a bit of a dull, matte look. The best way to counter that is with a clear hair oil or cream that will add moisture and shine but won’t tint the hair. Our favorite is Olaplex No. 6 Bond Smoother Reparative Styling Crème from Sephora , especially if your hair feels brittle.
• If you go swimming in the pool, make sure to wear a swim cap and to wash your hair immediately after you get out in order to avoid having the chlorine change the color of your platinum hair.
• During the summer, UV rays can alter your platinum hair color as well, so use UV-blocking hair products or wear a hat when going outside.
Platinumhair can be a major change, and you might have to adapt your makeup to suit it.
There is something about the lightness of platinum hair that will really draw attention to your face, since it’s one of the few hair colors that are almost always going to be lighter than your skin tone, no matter how fair you are. Als Ergebnis, it often means having to take a bit more care to perfect the complexion.
We recommend introducing spot concealing into your routine to mask any redness or discoloration in your skin rather than amping up your foundation coverage level. This is because the other issue with vivid platinum blonde hair is that it can emphasize cakey foundation or too much powder. Deswegen, it is better to keep the complexion looking satin or dewy with minimal powder and light or medium-coverage foundation.
When it comes to blush, contour, and highlight shades, we recommend staying away from any tones that have a lot of red or orange to them. There is something about the combination of pale yellow and red that doesn’t look healthy or natural.
Stattdessen, stick to softer shades of pink or rose for your blush, and keep your contourshades neutral and leaning towards taupe. For highlight, champagne, pink, pearl, and gold tones can all work well as long as they match the rest of your color story.
Eye Makeup for Platinum Blonde Hair
Whenit comes to eye makeup, you don’t need to make major changes, but we do stillhave a bit of advice. Zuerst, when it comes to your brows, you might have tochange things up a fair bit, especially if you started out as a redhead or darkbrunette.
The main pitfall is using an eyebrow pencil or pomade that is overly warm with too many red or yellow tones, as those are guaranteed to stand out and look unnatural next to your platinum blonde hair. The key is to find an eyebrow product that has the same cool-gray undertones as your hair, even if it can be a few shades darker. In Game of Thrones , Emilia Clarke’s eyebrows with their brown-gray tone are a great example.
When it comes to eyeshadow, liner, and mascara, pretty much anything goes. You can keep your mascara and eyeliner black if that’s what you’ve always loved, but you can also use softer dark brown or gray shades (not to mention you can play with colors if you want!).
Asfar as eyeshadow goes, since platinum hair is neutral-cool, you can complementit with warmer eyeshadow colors or match it with cool eyeshadow. Earth tonesalways look great, selbstverständlich.
Theonly look that can be a little more complicated to pull off is a smokey eye –depending on your features, and overall coloring, very heavy eyeshadow can lookover the top, although at the same time, you can look to Rose McIver’s look in iZombie to see an example where thatkind of contrast works quite well.
Choosing a Lipstick for Platinum Blonde Hair
Schließlich, what kind of lipstick can you wear with platinum blonde hair? The answer is pretty simple – you can wear nearly anything you like. If you’ve previously shied away from trendy but unusual shades like taupe or gray, now is the time to experiment with them, since they tend to look quite harmonious with platinum hair.
Nachdem das gesagt worden ist, natural nudes, roses, berries, and peaches will always look fantastic, especially if they match the undertone of your skin. Brick reds and orange tones can be a little tougher to rock, especially if your hair is a very cool, all-over platinum without any warm threads. They can look okay if your skin leans towards warm, but likely won’t work on those with cool undertones and platinum hair.
Zuletzt, for drama, those glamorous neutral or blue-reds are always awesome, especially with platinum hair, as are neutral burgundies, bright fuchsias, and even unusual colors like blue or neon pink – as long as they work with the rest of your look, selbstverständlich.
What Colors Should Platinum Blondes Wear?
You don’t need to change up your wardrobe at all after switching to platinum blonde hair! You can keep on wearing what you’ve always loved, but even so, if you want some wardrobe upgrades, we’ve got some tips to help you out.
• Platinum blonde hair is very trendy, so embrace some more trendy casual street style looks, including distressed finishes and grunge or ‘90s touches.
• Watch out for monochromatic beige looks (the “stick of butter” trend). We’re not saying not to wear white and beige, but just be a little extra critical, as the intense similarity between the color of your hair and your outfit can end up washing you out.
• If you only want to rock one color (for example, while wearing a dress or a jumpsuit), your color will work as a neutral, so any color will work, from lively yellow to glamorous red to deep and rich blue.
• You can opt for a very soft look by pairing your white blonde hair with a pastel outfit, although in that case, we’d suggest breaking things up a bit with a few darker neutral accessories.
• Metallics like silver and gunmetal can look really great with platinum hair if you want to dress for a night out, while gold might not work with cool platinum blonde tresses.
