Camila Cabello recently shared the inspiration behind her bold new platinum hair transformation on a podcast. The singer expressed the need for a significant physical change, stating that her dark hair had been a defining feature throughout her life and career. Feeling a theme of 'play' and 'transformation' in her life, Cabello decided that a new look was necessary to align with the changes she was experiencing.
Before committing to the platinum blonde color, Cabello experimented with wigs to gauge her comfort level with the change. Her colorist, Nikki Lee, highlighted the importance of maintaining hair health during the transition process, emphasizing the gradual nature of going from dark to platinum blonde. The transformation was achieved over three appointments, with the use of L’Oréal Paris Féria Toner in Icy Blonde to maintain the color and shine.
