How Often Should You Refresh Your Hair Color?

There is no single color schedule that works for everyone. The right timing depends on your service, natural growth, desired brightness, and how softly you want the color to grow out.

Root coverage

Guests who prefer complete gray coverage often return every four to six weeks. A softer gray-blending approach may allow more time between appointments.

Highlights and lived-in color

Traditional highlights are often refreshed every six to ten weeks, while lived-in color may stretch to ten to sixteen weeks with a gloss or face-frame refresh between larger appointments.

Glosses and toners

A gloss can refresh shine, tone, and richness without repeating an entire color service. Your stylist may recommend one every six to eight weeks, depending on your color, hair condition, and sun or pool exposure.

Listen to your hair

Your stylist may adjust the timeline if your hair needs moisture, strengthening, or a quieter season. Healthy, intentional color always looks better than rushing the next transformation.
