Revlon Color Effects Platinum review

*This item was sent to me for free from Influenster and Revlon in exchange for my honest review.

Hey everyone !  This will be a slightly short hair dye review . I was sent this box in December , but I had just recently bleached my hair , and I really didn’t want to damage my hair by bleaching it again , plus pink dye wasn’t a veggie based dye. So I asked one of my friend’s if she wanted to dye her hair and possibly use this bleach. I wasn’t there for the actual bleaching and she sent me some pictures afterwards , so I’m basing this review off of her experiance.

Also if you have dark thick hair like my friend’s, you may want to use two boxes of this bleach. 

It does come with an antibrass conditioner , which kind of worked , but in my opinion you may get a more cool , or toned result using Wella and the Wella Charm in T18 ( plus 20 developer).

Now I do remember bleaching my friend’s hair when she turned 18, and this was a few years ago so I can definitely say her hair is pretty thick. We had to do sections . But as I wasn’t there this time ,  she needed to get a second box of this bleach.

Here’s a before picture she sent me .Her roots are naturally dark, but she had the bottom bleached before.

And here’s her hair bleached. It did come out a bit more yellow. So if you buy this bleach without covering it with a color or toning this might be a deterent. She did later dye with the Pastel Pink which I think may have lightened her hair a bit more while also depositing the pink shade. But if you bought this wanting a pure platinum blonde or icy white shade, I would reccomend Wella or another bleach system. Plus toner. 

 Also if you do get a result like this and don’t really like the yellow tones, purple shampoo and conditioner is your friend. It will cancel out some of the yellows and make your hair a bit more ashy or cool toned.  

 My friend did state that her hair was actually still pretty soft , so thats good . I’ll post her pink shade in the other post tomorrow .

Let me know what you think and some of your favorite bleach brands . Me personally , I really like Wella lightner and developer, as I think it works great , even on dark hair and is pretty gentle on already bleached hair. Also remember when bleaching, developer strength matters,as 20 is as high as I usually go and 40 being pretty dangerous if your hair is too light or has already been bleached. Well have a great week !
