How often should you redo your herbal hair color?

Herbal hair color is gentler and more stable than chemical dye, but since it doesn’t bleach the hair fiber, natural regrowth becomes visible over time. The right frequency of application depends on the shade, hair growth speed, and hair type.

1. On average, how often should you redo a herbal hair color?

In general, it’s recommended to do a full application every 2 to 3 months. This helps revive shine without overloading the hair with pigments. For white roots, more frequent touch-ups may be needed every 4 to 6 weeks.

2. Why herbal hair color lasts longer

Plant pigments oxidize gradually and bind around the keratin. Unlike chemical dyes, they don’t weaken the hair fiber. As a result, the color fades naturally without a harsh regrowth line. The hair stays shiny, and the transition between colorings remains smooth.

3. How to extend the time between applications without losing shine

  • Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo to protect the pigments.
  • Rinse hair with lukewarm rather than hot water.
  • Do a light detox treatment once a month to remove residue and oxygenate the hair fiber.
  • Protect your hair from sun and chlorine, which accelerate color fading.

4. Tip for white hair

White roots appear faster than color fading on the lengths. In this case, it’s best to alternate between a root touch-up (about every 4 weeks) and a full application (every 2 to 3 months). This maintains even coverage while preserving the fiber.

5. Frequency according to the chosen color

  • Blondes and coppers: every 4 to 6 weeks, as these tones oxidize faster.
  • Chestnuts and browns: every 6 to 8 weeks.
  • Blacks and dark shades: every 2 to 3 months, depending on regrowth.

6. In summary

A well-applied herbal hair color lasts several weeks, even months. Maintenance is simple with gentle products and a proper care routine. By respecting the right frequency, your color remains deep, your hair strong, and your regrowth naturally blended.
