She explains, “Platinum blondes have fallen out of favor due to high maintenance, frequent salon visits and high cost. Needless to mention, platinum blonde doesn’t suit everyone.” “There are better blonde options out there for most of us, like Sydney Sweeney’s ‘Dark Suede’ blonde, which incorporates fewer highlights to match your natural base color and maintain the natural root.”
