If there is one question we get more than others around here it is, "How often should I color my hair?" Oprah has a great post on this exact question which is answered by Oscar Blandi.
From Oprah.com:
Usually, you get a haircolor once a month or once every 45 days. It depends on the regrowth. For some people, the hair grows actually after three weeks. It depends from person to person.
You definitely have to have a good consultation with the colorist. My suggestion is always to bring a color you're looking for or a color that's inspiring you.
Color is a little bit different from a haircut. With a haircut, you can become a little more adventurous. Color is something that will stay with you, especially if you're planning to totally change your color. What you want to do is just have some guide to show the colorist of what your direction will be. From there, the colorist will tell you if it works for you, if it doesn't work for you and [ask you] what's your lifestyle, if you want something easier. Sometimes color can become an obsession—a good obsession—but sometimes it can really be a problem if you don't have the right time to do it.
If you have a Pronto Colore pen, it's great because you can postpone for a week, two weeks, max three weeks. But eventually you need to go back to the colorist because discoloration is going to happen; the ends are not going to be even. When the new color is going to be put on, it takes a little bit longer versus someone who goes to the colorist every 30 days or 45 days to keep up the maintenance.
The best tip is you don't want to wash your hair too often. Between the Pronto Colore pen and the dry shampoo, you can postpone washing your hair every day. Instead of washing three times a day, you can wash two times a week. Some clients will also wash once a week using the dry shampoo in conjunction with the pen.
When you start to frequently shampoo, discoloration will come. It also depends on what type of product your colorist uses. As long as you use a good, strong product, a professional product, the color will last longer.
Still, with that, if you don't have frequent color, like on the time schedule, discoloration can happen very easily. Bad shampoo can give a different tone of your color. If you go away on vacation and you're coming back, there's sun versus winter. There are so many elements in place that can create discoloration, so it's very important to keep up once a month, once every 45 days.
