Bleached Blonde Platinum Beauty: Sexy But Super High Maintenance

Platinum blonde.


It's quite sexy. And it definitely turns every head in the room, but if you're a brunette and you're trying to keep it really light, you're in for an expensive, high-maintenance ride.

Kim Kardashian has stolen the spotlight away from everyone with her blinding,  bleached head. And she admits she had to stop by already for some toner at Paris Fashion Week, so she could get that platinum pizazz even lighter + brighter!

Check out this new photo from People magazine.


We LOVE the dark brows and platinum hair combo. Kim looks gorgeous here.

Gwen Stefani does platinum blonde the BEST way we  know, because she NEVER allows one tiny, dark root to show, that's because her bleached blonde beauty requires  extreme maintenance.


We've used these Gwen quotes before, and here we share, again from an interview the mega-star gave to Harper's Bazaar:

 "Do you think Marilyn Monroe had to talk about this?" she asks smiling. "Well, I heard she did hers with a Q-tip every 10 days, so I try to follow Marilyn's rule." I mention that she's never been photographed with dark roots, and she points to the houndstooth fedora she is wearing. "And you'll never see me with roots either."

We love what this girly-girl says about discovering the beauty of bleach and those sexy red lips:

Gwen recalls how she felt when, age of 25, she spent eight hours in a hair salon in Long Beach getting her coveted white-blonde locks. "It was like I'd unlocked the key. I remember feeling like, 'I have arrived. This is me. Finally.'" The red lip came when her grandmother gave her a crimson lipstick when she was in high school. "I remember sitting in my ghetto, beat-up Honda Prelude and putting on that lipstick in the rearview mirror and being like, 'Uh-huh, I like that. That's the shit right there.' I never stopped after that."

Would you go this route (root), so to speak, to turn platinum, and ride the HOT trend?
