FAQ
Got questions about dirty blonde hair with highlights? I get asked these a lot! Here are some common ones to help you out.
How long do highlights usually last? Well, that depends on a few things. How fast your hair grows is the biggest factor. Generally, highlights can look good for anywhere from 8 to 12 weeks before you might want a touch-up. Styles like balayage or lived-in highlights tend to last longer because the grow-out is softer.
How do I maintain the color? Good question! Using sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners is key. Cooler highlights benefit from purple shampoo to keep brassiness away. Warm tones might like a color-depositing product. And always, always use heat protection when styling!
