While it is technically possible to get this platinum life on your own, I don’t actually recommend DIY-ing (unless you’re in a major pinch). Some of y’all probably know that I used to DIY my own blonde for many years. But that will have to be another blog post. I am experimenting with products right now to see if I can find one that lets me air dry on the regular, rather than blow dry. When I blow dry my hair I sometimes also hit it with a straightener or a curling wand, depending on whether I want it stick straight or wavy. However, I still let my hair dry naturally at least once a week (and just throw it back in a ponytail) in order to give it a break from the heat of my dryer. If I let my hair air dry, it’s pretty limp, wavy (but not in a good way), and lifeless. Unfortunately, I have to blow dry my hair for it to look decent. I deep condition every time I wash, and also do a hair mask once a week. Sometimes more if I have a reason (an event or photoshoot, etc). My high-level routine: I usually wash my hair 2x per week. I can usually go 2-3 days without washing (using no dry shampoo) before I see oil buildup. On the spectrum of dry to oily, I consider my hair on the drier side. My natural hair color is very light (considered dark blonde), and is fine/thin in consistency. Let’s break down the facts about my hair: I have been bottle blonde for all of my adult life (from the age of 19 onwards). And Part 3 is the the questions you asked me on IG.

Part 2 is my interview with a professional hair-colorist. This post is lengthy I know, but it’s broken up into 3 sections and packed with great info. There’s a lot to cover here, and I wanted to be sure I did it justice, so I thank you for your patience. This post has been quite a long time coming.
