POLL: If you color your hair, how often?
I realized yesterday just how drab my hair was and how gray, esp. at the temples. Since I wear my hair back this is an issue. I call and get an appt for today. Sweet.
I go and she informs me that I was last there in....May. Seriously?! May? No wonder it looks like crapola. She was like "actually, it looks great for nearly 9 months of grow-out". LOL.
Anyway, she does her thing and another lady sits down and was chatting with her colorist. She was last there JANUARY 3rd. This year. She was nearly completely gray. I wanted to die. I hope that never happens to me. I don't have the time or money to go every 3 weeks!
Re: POLL: If you color your hair, how often?
Mabye it was January 3rd 2010? haha
I go every other appointment so maybe every 12-16 weeks. I usually get all over color so it's not as noticeable as highlights since the color tends to fade out.

Oh no, it was 2012. She said "you were here Jan 3rd" and the woman was like "yea, 3 weeks, that's what I thought...".
I get if you get highlights/lowlights, etc you have to go more, of course. But 3 weeks?! Holy cow.
I just get single process and a glaze so it fades more than grows out. and the grays come back. F**ckers.
That's impressive. I also get my hair cut about twice a year so maybe I'm on the same haircut, haircut, color schedule...it's just over the span of a year, LOL.
My lady closed her salon and works our of her home--she built a little salon there. So I feel guilty if I don't rebook right then. Plus it is only 30 bucks for my cut and 60 for my color so it is a deal--it is really the only thing I do for myself.

I go about every 4-5 months, depending on how noticeable the grow out is. The longest I think I've ever gone between color appts is 6 months. My cousin is my hair dresser and has people that come in every 2-3 weeks just for color. I couldn't afford nor find the time to go that often. Plus, I'd be afraid of how dried out my hair would get.
My boring blog
That's awesome!!
I usually go for a color everyone 3-4 months...sometimes longer. I do all over color so it isn't quite as noticeable. When I was blonde and getting highlights I had to go every 4-6 weeks...and even then it looks bad with regrowth.
It's so darn expensive that I wait as long as possible. And I only get my hair cut when I go for my color.
JEALOUS! Yea, that'd be why I go as little as possible.
My single process color is $90 and my haircut is like $150, maybe? But, hair is in NYC, in a big salon and we have a discount through work. But still. It's an indulgence so yea, I go sparingly.
I too end up going maybe 2 or 3 times a year. I actually do highlights because with my hair color they tend to grow out well and it isn't as noticeable so I can go for longer.
I stopped when I was pregnant with Ryan and I've been too lazy to start again and it is also expensive to keep up. Thankfully I only have a few grays.
My schedule used to be a colored, with a cut 5-6 weeks later and then colored at my next appt in another 5-6 weeks. So coloring every 10-12 weeks.
I am there every 6-8 weeks, those pesky grays suck! For the winter, I went back to just single process to make my hair healthier again and save some money.
I usually get some highlights in the warmer months, and end up spending an arm and a leg to keep it up.
Let's see... In 2011 I had it done in February, June, and October. I just got my hair done yesterday, so I go about every 4th month. It costs $225 for a cut and color so although I probably should go every 3 months instead of 4, I really stretch it. Honestly, the color I have done isn't very far from my natural color, and especially in the summer I don't think my growth is noticeable as it blends pretty well.
