The best paint for blondes: shades and brands. We dye our hair in platinum colors Dark platinum color

When the founder of L "Oreal Paris, Eugene Schueller, invented the brand's first dye, he hardly imagined that platinum blond would be one of the most sought-after hair shades. It does not lose its popularity to this day: it is not in vain that it is chosen by the most fashion girls like Natasha Poly, Sasha Luss or Agyness Deyn. How to achieve a platinum blonde at home and how to care for it, says international colorist L "Oreal Paris Christophe Robin.

I've been coloring hair for models for 20 years. I believe that platinum blonde is the shade that is always relevant. It is good because it leaves a lot of opportunities for experimentation: firstly, it is combined with almost all shades of clothing, and, secondly, you can choose different makeup options for it - from a make-up in the style of the 30s, which has several bright accents, to grunge, the center of which is often the eyes. It is also the most photogenic shade, which is why actresses and models such as Sasha Luss, Lara Stone and Natasha Poly love it so much.

Who suits platinum blonde

The idea of ​​becoming a platinum blonde visited, perhaps, any girl without exception. Not everyone dared, but if she brought the matter to the end, then she either immediately repainted it back, or remained faithful to the new color, carefully following the regrown roots.

To avoid erroneous coloring and not cause unnecessary damage to the hair, let's figure out who suits the platinum blond.

First of all, it is ideal for women with light (green, gray or blue) eyes and pale skin. Look at models Sasha Luss and Lara Stone. Or the famous Agyness Deyn hair color. It is now that she has grown her hair and become a brunette, but her most famous photosets were made during the platinum blonde days. Rebel Miley Cyrus plays with color every now and then, but the “cold” blond certainly suits her.

Those who decide to dye should understand that the first reaction to a platinum blond may be shock. It may seem to you that the face has lost all framing and has become “transparent”.

Natural brunettes are more suitable for dark blond - it will not cast yellow and is easier to maintain. If your natural hair color is very dark, and besides, Brown eyes, then it is better to refuse the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bbecoming a blonde. Your hair will remember its native color and tend to acquire a yellow tint.

How to dye your hair blonde at home

It is worth remembering that platinum blond is one of the most capricious shades of hair. It is very difficult to achieve the ideal color: get ready for the fact that you will need to lighten your hair several times. It is worth touching up the roots once every two to three weeks.

Staining rules:

• A few days before dyeing, apply oil to the entire length of the hair - it is now available in the assortment of any cosmetic brand. And go to bed. Wash your hair in the morning, wait until the hair gets dirty again at the roots (for someone this will happen by the evening, for someone the next day) and only then proceed to coloring. The accumulated natural sebum (fat) will protect the scalp.
• Read the instructions carefully. It is important to first apply the paint to the ends and length of the hair, and after 15-20 minutes - to the roots.
• Do not forget to carefully paint over the back of the head and vellus hair around the perimeter of the face and neck and the back of the head.
• After applying all the dye to the hair, massage it well from the roots to the very ends.
• After dyeing, be sure to use a hair mask (usually it comes with a dye).

After reading the "leaders" of glossy publications, it begins to seem that this hair color has become relevant only in our century, and before that it was not appreciated. But it is not so. He was interested in stylish beauties (including Marilyn Monroe) at the beginning of the 20th century.
