I stretch it to 6 weeks, but should go more like every 4 weeks.
I am very gray, and use permanent color in a brunette shade that is close to my natural color. I don't look good as a blonde, although that would hide the gray growth a bit better.

3 weeks and I'm gray. I recently started using a product on Amazon called Tween Time, which has let me stretch out coloring to close to 6 weeks. Highly recommend it.

I go every 6 weeks for mine. My hair is almost BLACK and my roots start to show around week 6.

Re: How often do you touch up grays?(if you are gray)

Ugh!! My hair grows so fast! I just dyed my hair on August 24th so yesterday was exactly 2 weeks and I have a 1/4 inch of white growth! Last week it wasn't too noticable but this week it's bad so I use a root touch up that looks like mascara that will get me thru this week and I'll dye again this weekend- so I barely get out 3 weeks! And now I'm noticing more and more greys around my hairline and I'm only 39 I've been dying regularly since I was 25 but I was about to go 4-5 weeks between.Chat Icon

I go every three weeks. I could wait a bit longer and use those touch up mascara wands, but I think it is just a pain to use them. I would rather just go and not have to think about it.

I could've written this exactly, except I'm 35!

I'm 38. I used to do it every 6 to 8 weeks. Now being pregnant, it barely lasts 5. Chat Icon

I got mine at CVS, they are near the hair dye. They also sell them at ulta.

I had my hair colored professionally on Sunday. Today is Wednesday and the first greys are already showing through at the temples. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
