Going platinum means differently to some people. To me, going platinum blonde means your hair will have a hint of ‘gray’ but it’s not the same old lady gray you see on some old ladies’ hair. Think of pearlescent blonde that’s not quite yellow even if it’s the palest blonde out there. There is a difference between platinum and white blonde hair in case you don’t know. Platinum has more ash or violet base while white blonde has more of blue base. Violet and blue underlaying bases can make a difference when it comes to coloring your hair. If you think of Gwen Stefani of No Doubt, she’s platinum blonde. If you think of Britney Spears, she’s probably white blonde. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between platinum or white blonde but white blonde in spite of blue base will end up looking slightly yellow or warmer than platinum. So if you want to go either platinum or white blonde, check with your skin tone. Most ladies (or gents) with olive, sallow or fair skin with blue undertone will look better with platinum blonde while the rest of ladies with warm undertone, yellow or dark skin will look good with white blonde.
