You just dyed your hair platinum blonde will low lights help to tone it down some?

Answer 1

Definitely and it will give it dimension, but it will also give it a different cast-- which can be good or bad depending on what you're trying to achieve. Ash lowlights, for instance, will be a "cool" color, copper highlights, for example, will be "warm". To some degree, platinum is a clean slate. Look at your skin shade and determine whether you want to be cool or warm, and how dark you want to appear. That will determine both shades and amount of lowlights. Then decide whether you want it to be subtle (done through fine weaving) or apparent (done through broader slicing). There's no right answer here though your best bet is to really understand your skin color and eye color (if they're not harmonious, thoughtful selection of lowlights or highlights can bring them together), and look for things that will compliment you. Age is a factor too, and skin condition. Bottom line, hair is like make up, you want it to compliment and bring out the best in you. I wouldn't recommend doing this yourself-- a good colorist will be your best asset. But in the event you do proceed at home, the good news is if all goes bad, Halloween is only 2 days a way. Good luck.
