Dying my hair platinum blond, what do these measurements mean ?

---

---

My hair is already the right color of platinum blond. Basically all I want to do is dye the roots. Previously I had only used boxed hair dyes so it was very simple.

I bought some professional developer and lightener and don't understand the directions, please help.

I have L'oreal Platinum nutri-developer 30 volume, and the lightening paste that goes with it.

The directions say I need 20 to 40g of lightening mixture, and 1:1 to 1:3 of the developer, what does this mean exactly ?

I usually see how many oz the developer is, and take the proportions from there. 20 - 30 g of lightening mixture (if it's the powder) is about the volume of a hockey puck or case of dusting bronzer. You add the same amount of developer (1:1 ratio) up to 2 more parts of developer. Think hockey puck of lightening mixture, same amount of developer but you can add more as needed up to 60 g.

Hopefully this makes sense.

The Secret To Beautiful Blond Hair

Blond or fair-haired is a hair color characterized by low levels of the dark pigment eumelanin. The resultant visible hue is largely dependent on various factors, but always has some sort of yellowish color, ranging from the very pale blond caused by a patchy, scarce distribution of pigment, to reddish strawberry blond colors or golden-brownish blond colors with heavy pigmentation. Blond hair is most common in Caucasian infants and children. Babies may be born with blond hair even among groups where adults rarely have blond hair, although such natal hair usually falls out quickly. Blond hair tends to turn darker with age, and many children born blond turn light, medium, or dark brunette before or during their teenage years

Many sub-categories of blond hair have also been invented to describe someone with blond hair more accurately. Common examples include the following:

• Bleached blond / peroxide blond – artificial blond slightly less white than platinum blond.
• Pool blond - Blond tinted with green due to exposure to copper in swimming pools. There are many terms for this form of blond. 
• Brassy blond- Blond hair that tends to take an orange color if it wasn't sufficiently lightened.
• Platinum blond / towheaded – white-blond; found naturally almost exclusively in children. "Platinum blond" is often used to describe dyed hair, while "towheaded" is generally left to natural hair color.
• Flaxen – Refers to a light but not whitish blond with no traces of red, gold, or brown. This color is often described as "flaxen".
• Dirty blond / dishwater blond – light blond and sandy blond mixed together in stripes (occurs naturally)
• Golden blond – rich, golden blond.
• Honey blond - Blond with a honey-colored tint. It can be dark blond or light blond.
• Dark blond - Not quite dark enough to be considered brown, however a much darker version of traditional blond.
• Sandy blond – greyish-brownish blond
• Ash-blond - pale or grayish blond.
• Strawberry blond / Venetian blond – light reddish blond.
• Yellow – yellow-blond ("yellow" can also be used to refer to hair which has been dyed yellow).
• Sunny blond - Very bright blond hair, ranging from almost yellow to light yellow.
• Zebra blond - streaked blond and brunette.

Bleaching Hair Platinum Blond

Let’s get started with the procesLet’s get started with the process to turn our locks of hair into that beautiful shade of all shades, the ethereal platinum blond. Although you can easily do it at home with powdered bleach but to be safe, it is recommended to see your stylist. If you just have to take matters into your own hands and do it yourself at home, then here are some suggestions to achieve that perfect color:

1. Use a 20% developer over two or three different sessions. 30% and 40% developer will lift the color more rapidly but will also do much more damage to your hair.
2. Do not bleach your hair more than once a day. If you try to take your hair from dark to pale blond in one day you will totally fry it. It is best to keep it to once a week or leave it even longer between sessions (if you can bare it) as your hair needs time to recover.
3. Make sure you add deep conditioning treatments to your hair regularly to add protein back into your hair. Also use a leave in protein conditioner. Basically the more protein you can add back, the better your hair will feel. After beating your hair up with bleach it is now time to be very nice to it.

Get rid of brassiness by using a toner. The toner will be purple based to counteract the yellow color. For platinum hair use a silver toner. I think that toner brands are a highly personal thing. Everyone has their own which they love - play around until you find the one that suits you best. !
