Knowing how to dye your hair is important for those who prefer to do the process themselves and save a lot of money, but knowing when to dye your hair again is also essential! This super valid doubt can appear mainly in women who do not visit the salon to touch up the root and length, since, at home, it is not possible to receive advice from the hairdresser who would do the transformation. But rest assured that the color touch-up has an indicated frequency for each case!

Fica Diva answered some questions about the ideal frequency to dye the hair, as well as others related to coloring. Can you dye your hair every week? Can you paint on the same day? Find it out!

How often can you dye your hair again?

Within a short period of time, dyeing your hair again can cause damage to the strands and harm your hair's health. But don't worry, you don't have to let the roots grow long to dye your hair! It all depends on how much the root grows per month - some women have a faster growth rate than others -, but the recommendation is to wait between 15 and 45 days to dye your hair again.

Divas who want to cover white hair can retouch the root every 15 days, while the color touchup can happen every 25 days. For those who don't care about the difference between the natural root and the length with color or who bet on the smoky root effect, a good frequency is to dye the hair every 45 days.

What happens if I dye my hair twice in a row?

Dyeing your hair more than once on the same day may not be a good option, diva! As the hair has just gone through a cuticle opening process, the strands are fragile and need care before receiving a new color. If you don't respect the break time and don't treat the wires, the result can be damaged, brittle hair, with less resistance and, in the worst case, excess chemistry can cause a chemical cut. Therefore, it is worth waiting a while to change the hair tone.

How do I know if I should dye my hair or not?

Is the root of your hair already big - no more than two fingers long - and the color is faded? If so, it's time to dye your hair! It's important that the roots aren't too big to avoid stains and tones different from the root and length, so be sure to color your hair at the right frequency. If you notice that the length and ends are lacking in shine, color and movement, the hair may be in need of a new dye application.

Can you apply one dye on top of the other in your hair?

Coloring works on natural hair that has never been dyed, adding a new tone or nuance to the strands, as well as for those who want to darken the tone. On the other hand, it is not recommended to apply the color on top of another if the intention is to lighten the hair, because “paint does not lighten paint”.

To change the tone, it is necessary to strip the strands, a process similar to discoloration, but done especially on hair with artificial pigments and difficult to remove, such as black, red and dark hair.

What dye is the least harmful to the hair?

Whenever you're going to invest in a color, carefully read the descriptive packaging on the paint box to check if the product has moisturizing ingredients to reduce damage. Good examples are the active D-panthenol and keratin, which guarantee strength, nutrition and hydration to the hair. These ingredients can be found in the colorings of Cor&Ton, which also have a UV filter and silicone to protect the hair from damage caused by ultraviolet rays, in addition to treatment sachets to repair the fiber. After treating newly dyed hair, the result is hydrated, healthy and shiny hair!

For the divas who just want to give a color glow to the dyed strands, the toner is a great option to harm the strands even less. You just need to find a shade that matches your hair tone and apply it to the strands that have already been colored! It is worth noting that depending on the tone of the toner and the natural hair, the product only works on hair that has already been dyed. In some cases, it is possible to achieve a new color only with a toner, such as dark red and burgundy.
