Using Heat on Bleached Hair

Using heat on bleached hair can be tricky and will only add additional damage to already processed hair. But if you are anything like me, you may have wavy or curly hair and prefer the look of straight hair. Likewise, you might have straight hair and enjoy the look of bouncy curls. You can still use heat styling on blonde hair, but you must take extra precautions to protect your strands.

How to Get Platinum Blonde Hair at Home

Let me start this off by saying what everyone else will tell you when you want platinum hair: You WILL get the easiest, healthiest results by going to a salon. That's the truth. At the same time, you can get healthy, beautiful results at home for a much lower price than you'd pay in a salon. When I was getting my hair bleached in the salon, it cost $80+ every four to six weeks. Bleaching it at home cost me $30. Next month it will only cost $12, as half of my toner still remains. That is huge, as far as savings go.

What to Buy To Get Platinum Hair at Home

Given the cost it takes to maintain blonde hair and treat any damage, $12 to $30 for the color itself is great! That leaves me with plenty of extra money for blonde shampoo and conditioner, purple toning shampoo and conditioner, styling products and protein treatments. So now, I will help you choose the best products in order to bleach your hair at home and get a beautiful platinum blonde color.
