How to maintain your platinum blonde?
To maintain platinum blonde, this trend requires a precise routine. Copper undertones are the number one enemy of this color, as they can quickly darken the desired shade.
Color-treated hair must be cared for with specific products: purple shampoos are essential to neutralize unwanted copper tones and preserve this characteristic cool tone. The ash shade must be maintained regularly to prevent hair from darkening over washes.
Using iridescent products helps maintain this cool platinum, while suitable colored treatments will preserve the desired ash effect. Specialized iridescent products help maintain this intense coolness, preventing your natural copper from reappearing.
By regularly applying iridescent treatments, you will preserve the beautiful ash shade you're looking for with your colored hair for longer.
Bleaching and maintenance: essential basics
After a platinum blonde coloration, the initial bleaching is crucial. Each hair fiber requires specific treatment to achieve a perfect natural result.
Shampoo and product: The science of pigments
A hairdresser's expertise lies in product selection. Purple shampoos are your main ally in neutralizing unwanted undertones.
It is essential to use shampoos adapted to your color. If you have blonde hair, you will need to use purple products. Indeed, they will neutralize yellow reflections. These products are used in addition to and in alternation with your daily routine.

The shampoo Goodbye Yellow by Schwarzkopf Professional is ideal for platinum blonde. Indeed, its high concentration of purple pigments helps neutralize warm tones and unwanted yellow reflections to bring perfect platinum blondes to life.
In addition, it cleanses hair gently while respecting hair sensitivity, thus enjoying clean and purified hair.
The Goodbye Yellow shampoo remains a benchmark product. Its purple patina helps to:
- Neutralize warm tones
- Preserve ash color
- Protect bleaching
Use hair masks
It is highly recommended to maintain your platinum blonde with a purple mask due to its neutralizing properties. Blonde hair can often develop yellow or brassy tones, especially when exposed to factors such as sun, chlorinated water, or hair products containing sulfates.
Purple masks, which contain purple pigments, help neutralize unwanted yellow or brassy tones by eliminating warm reflections. They also add cooler tones, giving blonde hair a fresher and brighter appearance.
Purple is complementary to yellow on the color wheel, meaning it can help cancel out unwanted yellow hues.

The "NO-YELLOW" mask from Inebrya's blondesse range is what you need to deeply hydrate your hair while neutralizing unwanted reflections.
It is important to note that the purple mask should only be used once a week. Indeed, excessive use can lead to unwanted effects such as purplish reflections.
We have other masks for bleached blonde hair, such as Beautélive's yellow-neutralizing mask, enriched with argan oil, which repairs hair fiber.
For balayage maintenance, which is a trendy hairstyle, you can try several treatments to integrate into your routine; it is best to ask your hairdresser for advice.
Use suitable complementary products
In addition to the treatments we mentioned earlier, it is beneficial to use complementary products. It is possible to apply hydrating oils, or even repairing and hydrating serums.
