So let's begin.

First, you need to bleach your hair and only then can you coat your hair with a desired lighter color. Bleaching will strip the natural color out, and it will make your hair as light as possible. Hair bleach is different from hair dye. Many women get a blonde hair dye on their natural color, and they do not get their desired results. To dye naturally blonde hair into a darker shade might not require bleaching. 

After the initial bleaching, your hair can turn out slightly orange to pale yellow depending on your natural shade. If you get a pale yellow color after bleaching, then you are good to start with dying, but if you ended up in a dark orange shade after bleaching, you need to give rest to your hair for a week and then bleach it again. 

There are some bleaches available in the market with toners. These toners strip the color better, and you might not need to bleach it again. Toners help to get the hair as white as possible. 

To bleach your hair at home, follow the instructions on the packet. You need to leave the bleach on until you get a very light shade of blonde or white. Do not leave the bleach longer than an hour as it gets inactive after that. Then cover your now bleached hair with a plastic bag, as this prevents the heat from escaping thereby speeding up the process. 

Some hairdressers advise to apply bleach for 20 minutes and then remove it and apply a fresh coat. This will fasten the process and give better results. You can try this if you want to do it professionally and if you have lots of patience. 

This step is only for those who wish to dye their hair platinum blonde. For those who want to go in for full white/silver hair can skip this step and go on to the next one. 

After the initial bleaching process, if you have patience and time, let your hair rest a bit and then dye it after a week or a few days. In between condition your hair properly.

After the base bleach process is over, dye your hair with light blonde color, which will give you the perfect platinum blonde color desired.
 

Make sure you buy an ammonia-free light blonde color to avoid any damage to your hair. 

A purple toner will not dye your hair purple! A purple toner is in fact a toner that will remove all the traces of yellow blonde. Even if you dye your hair a cool greyish shade or a light ash blonde, you will need a purple toner to get the ideal shade more inclined towards white.

You have to apply the purple toner a few times till you get the ideal shade. To get the perfect white blonde shade, you will need a purple toner to get it right.
