Low-Maintenance Hair Color Ideas for Busy Clients
Explore lower-maintenance hair color approaches such as lived-in dimension, softer contrast and strategic face framing.
Lower contrast grows out softer
Low-maintenance color usually begins with controlling contrast. When new growth is close in depth to the overall color, the transition tends to look softer as hair grows.
Keep depth at the root
Keeping natural or similar depth near the root can reduce the appearance of a hard line. Dimensional techniques can then add brightness through areas where it has the most impact.
Use targeted brightness
Targeted face framing can create a noticeable refresh without requiring maximum lightness throughout the entire head. Strategic placement can often do more than simply adding more highlights.
Choose a tone that ages gracefully
Tone also affects how color ages. Your stylist can help choose a result that fits both your aesthetic and how frequently you want to return to the salon.
