I have extremely curly (type 3c) honey blonde hair and I really want to go to a near-platinum (think a shade darker than gwen stefani/marilyn monroe). Will this completely kill my hair?

95% YES.

5% will not kill it completely, but will put it in the hospital for a couple of years until it grows out.

It depends...everyone is different. I was platinum for years with very healthy hair. I suggest having a consultation with an experienced stylist.

I think that it's all about how you care for your hair before and after. Before you dye, I would make sure that you're hair is MOISTURIZED and in good condition. I have 3C hair and I dye my hair fairly often. I've never experienced excessive breakage during the actual DYE process however if I didn't care for my hair afterwards, it would dry out easily. Just make sure you give your curls EXTRA ATTENTION after you dye

There is a difference between "dying" your hair and lightening it. When you lighten or "bleach" your hair, it completely opens the hair shaft. You would have to do some extreme lightening to achieve what you want. I recently got peek a boo highlights and they do not curl like the rest of my hair. If you want your curls....don't do it. And trust me, im a stylist!
