Was the Bleach Worth It? 10 Before-and-After Shots of Stars Who Went Platinum
Summer Sixteen was truly the summer of platinum blonde. Though the start of warmer temperatures often triggers within staggering numbers of us the temptation to head straight for the nearest salon for a lighter hue, this summer (and end of spring) saw greater numbers of celebs (and mere mortals) going white-blonde than ever before.
We don’t blame them: There’s a certain sense of purpose in striding into the salon to go from darker to light, and it must be extra fun to go from super-dark to almost-white —looking at you, Kylie Jenner and Rooney Mara—in one sitting. Or, you know, two or three, because sometimes one round of bleach isn’t enough to get the perfectly toned shade of platinum.
