How to Take Care of your Gorgeous Blonde Hair
Beautiful blonde locks from highlights to platinum blonde hair requires maintenance to keep that brassiness away. Meet your new best friends; toners, silver shampoos and many different hydrating and protein based treatments to add the moisture that the bleach rips away. Following is a compilation of products that are tested and proven to work for your blonde hair to keep it an ash tone as opposed to that dreaded brassiness.
Shiny blonde hair with beautiful tonality requires the right hair products
Toner
- Goldwell 10P toner or Goldwell 10V toner, which one you chose depends on which shade of blonde you prefer. It is quite a good product to keep your hair from going brassy and lasts up to 3 weeks. Your hair must be bleached quite pale to notice the effects of this product. Mixing the Goldwell 10P and the 10V together can also give beautiful results
- Iceflower toning mousse by Schwarzkopf for a platinum blonde produces quite good toning effect and cuts out brassiness

Shampoo and Conditioner

Bleaching Hair Platinum Blonde
Lets hit the bottle of bleach hard and turn our locks of hair into that beautiful shade of all shades, the ethereal platinum blonde.
Of course you can do this at home with powdered bleach but to be safe I recommend seeing your stylist. If you just have to take matters into your own hands and do it yourself at home then here are some suggestions to achieve that perfect color:
- Use a 20% developer over two or three different sessions. 30% and 40% developer will lift the color more rapidly but will also do much more damage to your hair.
- Do not bleach your hair more than once a day. If you try to take your hair from dark to pale blonde in one day you will totally fry it. It is best to keep it to once a week or leave it even longer between sessions (if you can bare it) as your hair needs time to recover. This is the hardest part because depending on how dark your hair is you will go through various color stages and not many of them are very nice. Bright orange or fluro yellow hair anyone??
- Make sure you add deep conditioning treatments to your hair regularly to add protein back into your hair. Also use a leave in protein conditioner. Basically the more protein you can add back, the better your hair will feel. After beating your hair up with bleach it is now time to be very very nice to it.
- Get rid of brassiness by using a toner. The toner will be purple based to counteract the yellow color. For platinum hair use a silver toner. I think that toner brands are a highly personal thing. Everyone has their own which they love - play around until you find the one that suits you best.
- Use a purple based shampoo designed for maintaining blonde hair about once a week. Keep heat based styling appliances like your straightener and blow dryer to a minimum (not that possible in the real world, I know) and always apply a heat protecting product before hand.
Ok now lets take a look at some pics of beautiful starlets and their platinum blonde locks! I am thinking, Marilyn Monroe, Debbie Harry, Scarlet Johansson, Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, Paris Hilton and more. Have a look at the hairstyles gallery.

The Fringe Bang!
There is no denying that women are getting a hair style with a bang! in other words, the fringe is in! Kate Moss did it and hordes followed. The smooth, sleek and blunt bang from the sixties is what girls are going for. If you don't have silky straight hair keeping a fringe under control can be a bit of a nightmare, but that can be easily fixed with a blow dryer and round brush or a ceramic hair straightener .
This gallery has images of many celebs with hairstyle bangs, but I have included many other images so there is a versatile range to choose from for your next trip to the hairdressers.

Layered Hairstyles
Layers in your hair can be used to balance out very thin or very thick hair, giving it a more textured, shapely look with more volume and movement.
Ask for long graduated layers that blend effortlessly into a sweeping fringe with flicked out ends and a nice side parting. Alternatively a nice blunt fringe (bang) and middle part can also work wonders with this hairstyle.
Layers are great for any hair length from short to very long hair; it helps break the monotony of very long hair, giving it movement. It is great for those with curly hair as it helps give bounce to the curls and a great shape. It is equally as good a look for straight hairstyles!
Enjoy the image gallery where I have included many hairstyle images of all different types of hair layers. Hopefully you will find your new hairstyle among one of those.
