I’ve always wanted to go platinum blond but I’m afraid it will damage my hair too much and make it feel straw-like with the bleach and everything?

If it’s done correctly, you can have very healthy silky hair even after bleaching it platinum. If you have lighter hair, it will be a much easier process. But if you are dark, it’s possible too. It will just take a while.

I have always wondered how you keep your hair so flawlessly blonde! I was starting to think maybe it was naturally really light. Glad to know there’s a trick to it!

A stranger once told me I’d look good with platinum blonde hair, although after trying on a wig – it was not for my strawberry blonde self. It does, however, look great on you!

Love this post! How long do you typically wait between dyes?

Hi! I completely agree on the virgin hair bit. I do my own (I went to hair school so I don’t feel so bad about it) and going over previously processed hair is a …swearword. But I wanted to ask you this : Who advised you to keep dying your hair throughout your pregnancy? This is not at all supposed to sound cheeky or judgmental. I have been reading a lot about it and all I seem to find are recommendations that you don’t dye your hair at all (or you may only highlight – as the chemicals don’t touch the scalp) during pregnancy. Now, you looked beautiful and put together whilst pregnant. When I get pregnant, I would also like to look beautiful (aka keep looking platinum blonde). So who did you talk to? What was their angle? Was it a big deal? Did you do anything differently than what you talked about in this post? Share your wisdom!

Hey Kendall, I usually go 3-4 weeks between dyes

Hi Charity,
I did read up on it a bit when I got pregnant. But most of what I read suggested that the small amount of chemical that could possibly be absorbed into your skin durning the bleaching process is not enough to be harmful to the baby when a woman is pregnant. I know there is a lot of debate about it. I think the bigger issue is making sure you are in a well ventilated room when you are doing your hair because the fumes can be harmful. So I always made sure of that. Here is a good article about it –
