The standard period of time before you redye your hair is typically 4 to 6 weeks or even up to 8 weeks if you don\u2019t mind the roots. That is, if everything has gone well and you like how your hair looks after you\u2019ve dyed it. What if it needs fixing, however? How long should you wait to redye your hair if the color\u2019s not right?<\/p>\n

We have lots of articles and guides on how to get a healthier mane here but the short answer is \u2013 good food, lots of water, lots of exercise, as well as regular, moisturizing, and nutritional hair masks.<\/p>\n While semi-permanent dyes are definitely more sparing on our hair than demi-permanent and permanent ones, they are still not as sparing as temporary dyes. So, how much time should you wait for each type of dye?<\/p>\n Again, this depends on your hair\u2019s health, but here\u2019s a simple breakdown:<\/p>\n\n
