Keeping Hair Color
Fresh
We all know when we have a good hair day. Life just seems to go
better. But you cant have a good hair day when your roots are showing
(Did you know others notice roots more than you do?) So why wait
just one more week when something so easy makes you feel so good?
How do you know when your color needs a touch
up? The average persons hair grows to 1 inch a month, so watch your
roots, see when they show, and schedule regular color appointments
with yourself. It only takes 30 minutes to freshen your color! "Clairol
colors are designed for frequent use, so its perfectly safe to touch
up color whenever it needs it," says Tom Dispenza, Senior Manager
of Clairol Worldwide Education. "Fresh color adds body and
shine, too."
Just remember, if you use semi-permanent color ( Level 2) or permanent
color (Level 3), alternate how you touch up your roots every other
application. First application, apply color only to your new hair
growth. The next time, work the color through the rest of your hair
for the last 5 minutes. That way you’re not coloring previously
colored hair too much and your roots will evenly match the rest
of your hair!

coloring needs.
Full Head of Color
Uh-oh! Caught putting your blonde bombshell look on hold? What for?
You love the attention your brilliantly blonde hair gives you. So,
touch up those golden tresses and be a diva everyday. If your hair
is dark, touch up about every 4 weeks or if you have naturally light
hair, you can probably wait 5-6 weeks.
Gray Coverage
So, you let those grays go too long? Time to be rootless. Make sure
you stick to your color routine and well keep those grays between
us! If you’re mostly gray, you’ll need to color every
4 weeks. If you’re using a blonde shade, you can wait up to
5 weeks. If you’ve only got a few grays, you can stretch it
out a little longer, especially if your hair color is close to your
natural color.
Highlights
Do your highlights need to be re-energized? Not to worry. Its never
too late to change your ways. And lucky for you, your eye-catching
highlights give high impact but are low maintenance. You’ve
got the look without the hassles. Be sure to highlight every three
months.
Stay color perfect, and be color confident!
