How Often Should You Touch Up Your Roots? | Naperville Hair Color Specialist

Let’s talk roots—because we all know that moment when they start peeking through and you wonder, “Am I due yet?

🌟 Full Coverage Color: Every 4–5 Weeks

If you’re going for a rich, all-over shade—especially darker tones or gray coverage—you’ll want to pop in around the 4 to 5 week mark. This keeps your color looking fresh and seamless, especially if your roots contrast your overall tone. Think of it as your monthly maintenance for a flawless finish.

🤍 Gray Blending: Every 6–8 Weeks

Opting for a softer transition instead of full coverage? Gray blending gives you a more natural grow-out and buys you a little more time between visits. A 6–8 week schedule keeps things looking intentional and low-fuss—perfect for that effortlessly blended vibe.

✨ Highlights & Blonding: Every 6–8 Weeks

For bright blondes or dimensional highlights, root maintenance depends on your desired contrast. Want to keep it fresh and bright? Come in closer to the 6-week mark. Prefer a more lived-in, low-maintenance vibe? You might stretch it to 8 (or even 10) weeks if your blend is just right.

No matter your schedule, I always recommend a custom maintenance plan to fit your lifestyle (and calendar 🗓️).
