Dyeing your hair, no matter what, is a big decision. Going platinum blonde is even more intense — it takes hours and can be expensive.
But if a big change is what you're looking for, this is your best bet. Just look at these celebrities who have bleached their hair.
From Taylor Swift to Kanye West, these celebs have tried out new platinum 'dos.

There are plenty of hair colors that go in and out of style. In the past couples of years, we've seen butterbeer hair, desert rose hair, and peanut butter and jelly hair, to name a few.

But platinum blonde is a color that will always be cool. It's why so many celebrities have tried it for themselves, no matter their original color. It's the best way to completely change your look.

Although you might not have the time and money (or guts) to peroxide your entire head, these 32 celebs took the plunge.
