When it comes to choosing the perfect blonde, not all shades are created equal—and your undertone plays a huge role in pulling it off. Platinum blonde and golden blonde may both be light and bright, but they belong to two very different color worlds in armocromia.
Platinum Blonde: Cool and Crisp
Platinum blonde is a light, icy blonde with no warm or yellow undertones. It's striking and high-maintenance, often associated with high fashion or edgy looks. But in terms of armocromia, it’s a shade that flatters cool-toned skin.
Best for:
Winter palette, especially Cool Winter and Bright Winter types, who can handle high contrast and icy tones.
Summer palette, especially Cool Summer, if the rest of the coloring is soft enough to balance the starkness of the platinum.
Golden Blonde: Warm and Radiant
Golden blonde, on the other hand, is rich with yellow and honey tones. It brings warmth and glow to the complexion, making it a favorite for those with warm undertones.
Best for:
Spring palette like Warm Spring and Bright Spring, where warm, glowing tones enhance natural brightness.
Autumn palette like Soft Autumn or Warm Autumn, if the golden blonde is deeper and more muted.
The Tone Trap: Match Your Undertone!
The biggest mistake? Choosing a blonde that clashes with your undertone. Platinum on warm skin can look ashy or wash you out, while golden blonde on cool skin can turn brassy and unnatural. Always consider your armocromia season before going blonde—what looks amazing on one person might look completely off on another.
Blonde Hair = High Maintenance
No matter which shade you choose, blonde dye requires:
Regular toning treatments (purple shampoo for platinum, golden glosses for warm blondes) to keep the color from fading or turning brassy.
Deep conditioning masks to prevent breakage and dryness from bleaching.
Frequent touch-ups to keep roots in check and the overall tone even.
