This colour isn't just a dye-and-go job, though. Howard warned me that there will be upkeep and I must stick to it. He suggested getting my roots touched up every four to six weeks (depending on how quickly my hair grows) to keep the colour looking fresh. Leaving my roots any longer than that will require a long two-step regrowth application, meaning my entire head of hair would need to be redyed. This is due to older hair's keratin being hardened, which, in turn, affects how the colour processes. By staying on top of maintenance, it will be more affordable in the long run (roots are much cheaper than a whole head) and will ensure my hair looks fresh and glossy.
