How often should I recolor my hair?

Permanent hair colors and highlights should be freshened or maintained every few weeks.

It depends on the color you're using. If it's a permanent shade, you should recolor about every 6 to 7 weeks. If you just need to freshen up, you can come every 8 to10 weeks.

Maintaining highlights depends on the person's hair growth. Growth is linked to age, but it also depends on the way the color is played. Sometimes the highlight can be very modern and fine, and other times it can be chunky so that new margins show up quickly. If you want to have highlights at the top of your hair, you'll need to come in every 6 to 7 weeks.
