prepare for the next bleaching<\/a> and touch-up. The hair gloss will tone and restore shine without damaging the hair.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
So, to make it super clear: if you have contrasting highlights<\/strong><\/span> \u2013 more than four tones of difference with the natural hair color \u2013 you should wait for three months or more to avoid damaging the hair.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Natural highlights<\/h2>\n
![\"touching](\"https:\/\/botoxcapilar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/reflejos-naturales.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Natural highlights mean up to three tones different from the natural base. In that case, the touch-up time can be shortened as long as the hair allows it.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You need to trust your colorist. They take care of your hair <\/span> and knows how to stop when necessary.<\/p>\nThere are good and bad colorists. The latter bleach your hair just to make a profit, no matter what. So, if you don’t have a colorist you trust, be even more careful.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you want to touch up your natural highlights before three months, evaluate your hair.<\/p>\n
To know if you have any degree of damage, you should look at four characteristics of your hair:
\n
\n- <\/i> softness<\/li>\n
- <\/i> shine<\/li>\n
- <\/i> it should not be porous<\/li>\n
- <\/i> it should be easy to manage <\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
If your hair meets these four requirements, go for it!<\/p>\n
Okay, you can touch up your natural highlights after two months at the earliest without damaging your hair.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
However, if your hair doesn’t meet these four requirements, you\u2019ll have to wait for three months, as I indicated at the beginning. Otherwise, you\u2019ll seriously damage your hair.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ideas for touching up highlights and avoiding damage<\/h2>\n
![\"grown](\"https:\/\/botoxcapilar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/peluquera-retocando-raices-de-reflejos-rubios.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
You already know that as a rule, highlights should be touched up every three months to avoid damaging your hair.<\/p>\n
Don’t forget that touching up involves bleaching your hair. This is why you should take care of your hair. Even if you do the three-month touch-up, your hair will need extra care.<\/p>\n
So, I want to give you some alternatives to discuss with your stylist to avoid damaging your hair when doing highlights.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
\n- <\/i> When you need a highlighting touch-up after three months, you can ask your stylist to only touch up the roots and not bleach your hair all over again. It’s a good way to keep your hair healthy.<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
\n- <\/i> Also, many salons have a service called “root touch-up.” They only touch up the hair parting and the areas around it. t’s a great way to avoid total hair damage. <\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
\n- <\/i> The root touch-up technique is a great option to alternate with traditional highlights.<\/div> [\/su_list]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
Discuss it with your stylist and choose the best option together – your style will look amazing with those highlights!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
In general, highlights are touched up as quickly as every three months. That’s the reasonable time you should wait for the hair to rest and recover from the chemical process involved in bleaching. That way, also, you don’t damage the hair fiber. However, other issues should be considered to lengthen or shorten the waiting time between highlights to prevent the hair from damaging.
