There’s nothing quite like the feeling of leaving the hair salon with a new and improved color.
To come, pros explain how to space out your appointments to ensure your hair remains in tiptop shape.
How often should you dye your hair?
However, this becomes much more nuanced when you add in factors like bleach.
Most often these will include a base color orroot touch-up.
“This depends on how muchgraysomeone has and how fast the hair grows.
I recommend every four weeks for this process,” says colorist and founder ofLRN BeautyLauren Paglionico.
“Any sooner, and you could overlap the existing color and end up with a dark band.
It can also make the hair look inky, like shoe polish,” she adds.
“Bleach is one of the strongest chemically driven coloring products to use,” Colombini says.
“So it’s very important to not use too often or you’d experiencebreakage.
Bleach is to be used at max every eight to 10 weeksandonly on new outgrowth,” he adds.
For double-process
“A double process is a bleach-on-root program, also known as a global program.
This can create a warm band,” she adds.
However, this process is very demanding and puts your hair at risk for more breakage, Paglionico notes.
Translation: Double-process jobs aren’t the best idea for anyone with brittle strands already.
