Those get their hair colored (highlights or all-over)

JessandJeremy · April 2012

How often do you go? I'm trying to convince my husband that it's normal for me to go every 2 months for root coverage!

thanks!

hightlights every 10-12 weeeks. would love to go every 2 months but its too expensive

I have terrible amount of greying (my dad was all over white hair but age 45, I get my hair from him), but I can only afford to do it every 3 months. That is why I have her put lighter highlights in because it helps the greys not to show so much. Otherwise I have to do all over color out of a box at home and that I have to do about every 8 weeks (the last 2 weeks a lot of grey is showing). DH and I agreed to me using the salon because it looks a lot nicer, but only every 3 months. I would love to do it every 2 months at the salon, but at $100 a pop, I just can't do that 6 times a year.

I am pretty blond but I do get all over even blonder highlights. I am so bad about getting it done. I go every 6 months but by that time you can see a ring on the 3-4 inches of grown out hair

I have lots of grey and cannot afford to have it done at the salon as frequently as it needs to be done. So, from the box it is;) I do it every 8 weeks or so.

I go every ten weeks. I would prefer every two months but try to save money by waiting a little longer. Around the time I notice my hair needing a touch up, it's time for the next appointment.

I need to go every 6 weeks but I stretch it to 8 weeks to save a little money.

This is me too, but I have very dark hair and lots of greys!

LakeGenevaBride · April 2012

I go every 2 months for highlights and a cut. When we got married I told him that my hair cut/color budget was non-negotiable

PrincessShay80 · April 2012

I get high lights and low lights and a haircut every 6 weeks. Majority of my friends go every 6-8 weeks so I think that's totally normal.

i go every two months. i would go every six if i could afford it. more than two months and my roots look like crap. i think two months is very reasonable.

GuitaristsGirl · April 2012

Every 6-7 weeks. I'm lucky to have found someone very (relatively) reasonable. The girl I went to before was more than double so I stretched it to 8ish weeks, but it was rough!

SunMoon&Stars · April 2012

Every 4-5 weeks. Any longer and I get roots showing. I do my own a home so it's affordable.

Cajunladybug22 · April 2012

Every 6-7 weeks. I have to....my grays come out by 4 weeks, so I'm stretching it as it is. My hair lady is very reasonable, though, so that helps.

qtpa2t · April 2012

Every 5-6 weeks for all-over color.

LisaBRM · April 2012

I go every six weeks to get touched up.

Same here!

I stretch it to 8 weeks but would prefer 6 weeks. I have had luck using Clairol root touch up to stretch my salon color a few more weeks. It's not permanent so it fades out and won't mess up your salon color. It just makes my grey's look more blond than grey.

I have pretty much 95% grey and have to go every 5 weeks or I look like a skunk!

Kristin&Frank · April 2012

Every 5 weeks. I've gone red, and it fades SO fast in the FL sun. I get all over color, roots, (and lowlights every 15 weeks or so.)
