Last year Emilia Clarke coloured her hair platinum blonde just like her character from Game of Thrones. Today the actress decided to refresh it with a natural sun-kissed hint which is perfect for the summer. Light blonde shades aren’t easy to maintain, but you don’t have to dye your hair multiple times. To keep the colour vibrant and fresh, use Ash Hair Toner for Over Bleach Blonde. It helps to remove the brassy yellow tones and add some shine.
