How Often Should You Really Get Your Hair Colored?

Finding the perfect color is one thing. However, maintaining its brightness while keeping the health of your hair is important if you wish to keep it looking its finest.

Want fresh color ALL the time? A lot of us do too. Below is how often you should really get your hair colored if you wish for fresh color and healthy hair.

How often you should get your hair dyed is different subject to what type of color you want and the health of your hair. Generally, you shouldn’t be getting your hair colored more frequently than every six to eight weeks. Nevertheless, there are situations in which it can be done more often.

Foils

For foil highlights, you should visit your stylist every six to eight weeks to keep your color orderly and easily maintained. The longer it takes to get them redone, the harder (for instance more costly and longer time with your stylist) it is going to be to get the consistent (instead of stripey) result you want to keep (particularly for those that are extremely blonde).

Full Bleach

If you decide to go full platinum, you will need to go back to the salon every four to six weeks to get an even and consistent look. On-scalp bleach is triggered by the natural heat coming from the person’s scalp. So, the further away from the scalp we are, the less the bleach gets triggered and the less the hair can ‘lift’ to an extremely light blonde. Therefore, if you are an extreme blondie, you are going to need to keep your salon visits more routine.

Bright Colors

If you want pastel shades or a trendy appearance such as a super grey, the maintenance will be high on these to keep the hues looking good. Fashion hair appearances such as these require very often toners to top up the color’s vibrancy, as they wash out and fade fast. Subject to the finish, a visit to the salon every one to three weeks is required. Regarding the roots, the suggestion above concerning scalp bleaching applies.

Balayage

The purpose of balayage is that it appears natural, so as a result it is somewhat low maintenance regarding the regularity of salon visits goes. Subject to how vivid the balayage appearance is, every eight to twelve weeks between salon visits should be enough. A toner is required to be done in between visits to keep the color crisp and ward off any unwelcomed brassy tones, which might be done every four to six weeks subject to the health of the hair.

Semi-Permanent Tints

Semi-permanent tints are intended to gradually fade, so the maintenance is somewhat easy as there is no regrowth.  A visit to the salon every eight weeks is typically enough, as long as no grey hairs come through, which you may have to come in every six weeks if you wish to keep them covered.

These tints are great to provide shades and shine natural hair might be missing. If the shades are more intense (like reds and coppers which fade faster than others), you are going to need to go the salon more frequently (four to six weeks) when you want to maintain the hair’s brightness.
