Question 1

How often should I get a lightener retouch?

Accepted Answer

Most clients schedule lightener retouches every 4-6 weeks to keep roots from becoming too visible. The frequency depends on how fast your hair grows and how much contrast there is between your natural color and your lightened hair.

Question 2

Can I add toner to my lightener retouch?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We highly recommend adding a toner to achieve your desired blonde shade and eliminate any brassy or yellow tones. Toner helps maintain the beautiful, cool-toned blonde you love.

Question 3

Will a lightener retouch damage my hair?

Accepted Answer

When done properly by professionals, lightener retouches focus only on new growth, minimizing damage. We can also add bond treatments like Olaplex to protect your hair during the lightening process.

Question 4

How long does a lightener retouch take?

Accepted Answer

Lightener retouches typically take 1.5-2.5 hours depending on how much new growth you have and whether you're adding toner or other services.

Question 5

What's the difference between lightener retouch and virgin lightener?

Accepted Answer

Lightener retouch is for maintaining previously lightened hair—we only apply lightener to your roots. Virgin lightener is for first-time clients getting their entire head lightened from their natural color to blonde.
