With highlighting season upon us and the itch to go blonde strong, you don’t have to commit to four-hour highlighting services to maintain your results. By adjusting your look with the seasons, you can get away with one to two big sessions a year, depending on your desired results. It all comes down to a solid maintenance routine—both at home and in the salon. With a few strategic visits, you can move with the seasons while gaining back time for other self-care activities.
Start with Your Initial Highlighting Session
For most clients wanting maximum illumination, our full highlighting sessions typically take three to four hours. From there, your maintenance schedule can be structured for longevity while keeping your hair looking fresh. Here’s what a low-maintenance approach could look like:
Every 6-8 weeks: A gloss, trim, and deep conditioning treatment to maintain shine, tone, and hair health.
Every 8-10 weeks: A partial highlight focusing on illuminating the hair around your front and back hairline, combined with a gloss, trim, and treatment.
One-Year Cycle: By consistently blending new growth through strategic maintenance, your blonde evolves into a lived-in, natural look—harmonizing with the seasons and creating a seamless transition.
At-Home Routine for Long-Lasting Results
A proper at-home regimen is essential for maintaining the strength, moisture, and vibrancy of your hair—especially when extending time between appointments. Using high-quality cleansers, conditioners, treatments, and styling products will prolong your color, prevent breakage, and keep your ends fortified so you can go longer between haircuts.
