What's the Easiest and Hardest Color Treatment to Maintain?
Depending on the color process you get, maintenance can be a very light lift or a full-on commitment. "Subtle changes and highlights, in particular, are low maintenance," Ambrose said. "A dramatic departure from your natural color will require more maintenance. For example, if you are a brunette and transition to a vibrant red, you will need to visit the salon every four to six weeks." But if that's the look you want and your schedule allows for it, go for it.
