Q. do you have to be rich to have a platinum card? Are platinum cards made for wealthier people? Asked by gossipgirl - Fri Jul 10 22:46:50 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Once upon a time, long, long ago, the color of the card actually made a difference. If you had a gold card, the store didn't have to call (I do mean actually pick up a phone and dial) to get approval for purchases up to $50 or $100. All purchases were called in for the regular card. Now, platinum cards are pretty common. But as far as rates, limits, and perks, that depends on the terms of your card. You could have the same thing with any color card.

Asked by Circe N - Wed Mar 4 21:33:03 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. It somewhat depends on how dark your hair is now. If your hair is black and you want to go platinum blonde then you probably will go bald but if your already blonde you might be ok. It also depends on the health of your hair. If your hair is in good condition and your not damaging it by applying heat and chemicals to it on a regular basis then you also shouldnt go bald. Whatever you do, just make sure you go to a professional stylist if you decide to go platinum. The process can be extremely damaging if its not done correctly. So if you do this yourself, its pretty much a balding guarantee. Answered by Ms. L - Wed Mar 4 21:47:12 2009 I need a pic of platinum blonde hair with dark tips?
Q. I want platinum blond hair with dark or light brown tips. When I say tips I just mean the very ends of my hair, not the last 6 inches! Almost like it would look like they were barely dipped in color! If anyone has or can find a pic of this I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks so much!

Just use your imagination to get rid of the rest of the colour... lol Just kidding!!! ... maybe this one's a little better..
