bleached blonde

Bottle-assisted platinum

Bleached blonde describes hair that has been chemically lightened to a blonde shade, or a person with such hair.

The phrase often carries a faint suggestion of artificiality or cheapness: She had the look of a bleached blonde from a detective novel.

As a color term, bleached blonde refers to pale, yellowish-white shades achieved through peroxide or similar treatments.
