How often should I cut my hair?
Normally, hair grows approximately a ½ inch a month. For most, hair cut maintenance is best between four and six weeks, though some prefer three weeks and others can go as long as eight weeks. And as a general rule, going longer than eight weeks will usually result in more hair breakage and split ends with ordinary wear and tear.
How often will I need hair color?
As for hair color, the re growth of the root area generally requires a retouch every four to six weeks. Highlight maintenance varies, but generally, every other retouch may require from a mini to a partial weave depending on your personal preference. Some choose a burst of a highlight every retouch. A combination of the correct base color and strategically placed, multi toned highlights will allow for the best hair color longevity. And of course, individually, it will depend on the percentage of grey. With proper hair color techniques your hair will not only be vibrant but healthy and strong. Yes, Color can make your hair better!
Do you use henna for hair color?
There are far more contemporary, science based, gentle hair color products on the market now. Twenty first century products yield far better results than henna as hair color. I suggest using Redken Shades EQ, a non ammonia, acid balanced, conditioning hair color gloss. This versatile tool can glaze, refresh or tone highlights. The shine and condition are unsurpassed and it strengthens hair too. So,no. I do not use henna for hair color, only for body art.
