HISTORY_&_ORIGIN
Bleached hair trends originated in 1990s grunge and pop culture, with artists like Eminem and *NSYNC popularizing platinum blonde looks. The combination with skin fades emerged in the 2010s as K-pop and Western hip-hop cultures merged, creating a high-fashion, high-contrast aesthetic that dominated social media and runway shows.
MAINTENANCE
Bleached hair requires intensive care. Use purple shampoo 2-3 times weekly to prevent brassiness. Deep condition weekly. Avoid heat styling when possible. Touch up roots every 4-6 weeks. The fade needs trimming every 2-3 weeks. Always use heat protectant and limit sun exposure.

BARBER_TIPS
Tell your barber you want a mid-level skin fade with enough length on top for bleaching (at least 2-3 inches). Get the fade done first, then visit a colorist for professional bleaching. Never attempt platinum at home - it requires multiple sessions and proper toner application.
