As a general rule, you can safely dye your hair every four to six weeks, but how often you should dye your hair depends on a few factors and personal preferences. From the coloring process you use, your hair porosity, and how often you wash your hair to whether you visit a colorist or try a DIY box dye<\/a>, your hair care routine and type of hair all influence how often you should dye your hair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even gentle or temporary hair dye formulas can leave hair feeling dry and brittle if used too often. So this post covers what to consider when dyeing your hair so you can change up your style without damaging your strands.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How often can you dye your hair by dye type?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The type of dye you use to color your hair has a significant impact on how often you can or should dye your hair. If you\u2019re using temporary or semi-permanent hair dyes, you may get away with dyeing your hair more often than with a permanent dye. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These sections cover some of the most common dye types and how to use them safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"how<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Temporary hair color<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Of all color methods, temporary hair color lasts the shortest time \u2014 it usually washes out after one to two washes<\/a>. It works on the surface of the hair, adding a sheer color. You might wish the color would last a little longer, but it\u2019s probably the safest dye for your hair outside the hair salon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can safely re-dye your hair<\/a> with temporary hair color every week or so. Using a shampoo for color-treated hair may help the color last longer and reduce the amount you have to re-dye.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Semi-permanent hair color<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Semi-permanent hair color is also temporary but lasts a bit longer than temporary hair color \u2014  usually about four to six washes<\/a>, with some products stating up to 12. It doesn\u2019t contain chemicals like ammonia or peroxide and doesn\u2019t lighten hair, so, while it fades more quickly than a permanent dye, it\u2019s also safer to use on fragile, damaged, permed, or relaxed hair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some semi-permanent hair-coloring products might last longer than others. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
