Platinum hair is the lightest of the blonde hair colors. It refers to hair that has been lightened down to what professionals call level 10, which means that platinum blonde hair has nearly no pigment in it, including very little of the yellow that blonde hair normally has. The main goal with platinum blonde hair color is that it be so light that it appears nearly white, but it’s also very important that it be neutralized with a toner in order to make it seem like white blonde hair. Are you as obsessed with platinum hair colors as we are? We’ve collected different examples of platinum blonde hair looks you can rock, with different kinds of shades, cuts, and styles. Get ready for some inspiration, with 30 glamorous photos of the different ways you can rock platinum hair!
1. Tousled Platinum Blonde Bob
Starting with something simple yet stunning! This platinum blonde hair color is cool and light, with a few warmer golden touches that keep it looking a little more natural. The roots were kept a natural dirty blonde, which adds depth but also keeps the hair growing out healthy. Overall, it’s a sophisticated take on platinum hair that would work at any length.
2. Sleek Winter Platinum Blonde
If you want the word that comes to mind from your hair to be “ice queen,” then take inspiration from this platinum blonde hair color. The hair was dyed a uniform ultra-light blonde with just a hint of shadow at the roots. When styled into this kind of straight but voluminous lob, the effect is mesmerizingly dangerous.
3. Princess White Blonde Hair
This extra-light variation on platinum blonde hair is very nearly white – the kind of look that requires lightening the hair even higher than level 10. It’s the kind of final result that is truly memorable, as we can’t help but notice how well the pearly tresses match with the pearl-studded headband. Styled into waves, it’s magical princess hair!
4. Warm Platinum Blonde Hair Color
If you’re taking things slow or prefer a more natural take on platinum blonde, this warmer take on the pale blonde shade is great inspo. While there are hints of white blonde here and there, the threads of gold throughout this look keep it warm and pearly, pairing well with the romantic waves into which this hair was styled.
5. Wheat and Platinum Blonde Streaks
This is an example of how platinum blonde streaks can add a ton of sheen to elevate looks with other predominant shades. Whether you’re naturally a blonde or wanting to become one, consider this kind of highlighted look because it’s stunning and shimmery without being extreme.
6. All-Over White Blonde Hair
This is the most intense iteration of platinum – real white blonde hair. It takes a lot of effort to achieve, but the result is undeniably unique. Because the hair was dyed a fairly uniform platinum shade, it looks a little matte, which is definitely chic, though not for everyone.
7. Glossy Platinum Hair
On the other hand, this look is a great inspiration if you want your hair to look hyper-glossy and full of depth! This look features shadowed roots for a seamless grow out, but they quickly give way to a romantic blend of gold and platinum streaks, which come together to give the most shimmery blonde imaginable.
8. Dirty Ice Platinum Blonde
Platinum blonde doesn’t have to be all clean and crisp! You can channel some dirty blonde vibes into the look, like this gorgeous streaked example. The combination of darker warm tones with a light, neutral platinum gives this look a natural feel heightened by the naturally-colored roots.
9. Long Platinum Layers
It can be scary to dye your hair when it is very long and healthy, but as this example shows, you can retain that healthy brightness as long as you take things slow! This is the type of clean platinum blonde that is achieved with multiple bleaching sessions over the course of a few months, but with deeper roots, you know it’ll be a breeze to maintain.
10. Glamorous Platinum Balayage
This rich platinum blonde balayage includes a few very thin streaks of warmer blonde, which only help emphasize the brightness of the platinum. It’s an extreme balayage, that’s for sure, but you can still see a few darker blonde strands peeking through.
