With darker hair colored platinum (a very light blond), as soon as the roots start growing in they will be very noticeable. You may have to color your hair every four to five weeks to avoid dark roots. If you're up for the challenge of platinum blond, go out and by your favorite shade, put on your latex gloves and begin dying your locks. Does this Spark an idea?
