Platinum streaks on black hair

I have dark black hair, I want two white streaks in the front, would Joan Rivers' Great Hair Day in the White work? Does it give good coverage?

The first thing I thought of when I read your post is that white streaks on black might look a little too skunk-ish ....... maybe bronze or even blonde would be better ...... but a temporary color /powder is definitely the way to go.

You could try some of those ""clip-in"" streaks

Try white shoe polish or White Out by BIC (typing correction fluid). That works. I was in a Halloween play as a vampire and they used the above on my dark hair. It works!!

White hair chalk is a safe way to try it. You can get it at Amazon

It kind-of reminds me of the Gemma look in "Sons of Anarchy".

My natural color is horrid- white in front, wet newspaper gray in back and I've considered trying black and white lowlights. Let us know what you decide.
