How to Become a Platinum Blonde Haired Bombshell?
Although slightly tricky, hair bleaching can be done at home too. But make sure you have some general experience with hair highlighting, before trying bleaching. After all, bleaching colors your entire mane and you don't want any unsightly glitches there! But if you do have experience with highlighting your own hair or something, here are the steps to get platinum blonde hair.

• Make sure you are in a well-ventilated room, because the color has a very strong smell and is not very easy to get rid of. Make sure you open on all the windows and the fans are all on! And put on some goggles since, if the color enters your eyes, they will burn like hell. So use something to cover your eyes. Remember safety comes first.
• Mix the bleaching powder and crème developer in the prescribed proportion. The proportion may differ based on the coloring strength of each brand.
• Separate your hair into 4 sections to make the bleach applying process simple. Start applying the mixture to your hair. Make sure you don't start at the roots. Start with the ends and slowly continue to the roots. The challenge is to apply everything uniformly otherwise you will end up with multiple shades of platinum.
• After you are done with applying the bleach, put a clear plastic bag on top of your hair. Make sure all your hair is tucked inside. Let the bleach stay for upto 60 minutes.
• Wash out the hair with a Ph neutralizing shampoo and apply conditioner. Mind you, bleached hair is a maintenance hazard and requires the best hair care and protein boosting products.
• Check if the shade of your hair is as desired. And voila! You now have the platinum blonde hair you wanted!
