Get a trim every six to eight weeks.

Your hair is naturally going to get split ends over time. The best way to avoid this and keep your natural, grown-out color healthy is by getting a trim every six to eight weeks. Trims are the best way to maintain healthy hair and prevent split ends, but they can also help you style your hair in a way that flatters your face shape.

If you find it difficult or costly to get regular haircuts, ask a friend (or friend of a friend) who has experience cutting hair at home if they’d be willing to give you lessons.*

You’ll want to bring some photos of the styles that interest you most along with any tools and products that will help achieve them—shears (blades), combs/brushes, blow dryer/straightener/curling iron etc.* If possible, schedule an appointment for when there’s plenty of natural light so she can see what she needs so say more clearly—the more time spent on this step now will save both of your headaches later!

Affectionately refer to your hair as “grown-out” or “growing out.”

Embrace highlights and lowlights.

Highlights and lowlights add dimension to your hair. Highlights are a great way to hide gray hairs as it actually adds color to the strands, rather than just covering them up. Lowlights will make your hair color look more natural, especially if you have dark brown or black hair.

Wash less and switch shampoos.

When you wash your hair less, it means that you are getting fewer chemicals on your scalp and in the rest of your hair. This will cause less damage to the strands, and therefore help keep that natural color intact.

To begin with, wash your hair no more than twice a week (and alternate between those days). If you’re used to washing every day, this can seem like an adjustment—but it’s worth it! A good rule of thumb is that if your scalp feels oily at all before bedtime, then go ahead and wash it. Otherwise, wait until next morning when showering again.

Next step is switching shampoos! Switching from sulfate-based products such as Pantene Pro-V Shampoo or Head & Shoulders Dandruff Shampoo (which contain ingredients like Sodium Laureth Sulfate) over to something like Oyin Handmade Hair Dew Deep Conditioner – Lightweight Conditioner – Great for Natural Hair/Kinky Curly/Coily/Curly Girl Friendly Products – No Parabens/Sulfates – Vegan & Cruelty Free – Made in USA ($12), which works wonders on natural curls without stripping moisture from them! These products are way better for keeping your locks looking fresh because they don’t have any chemicals or dyes built into them giving off unwanted side effects such as drying out strands while still cleaning them thoroughly.”

Stop styling your hair the way you used to when you had regular color.

Once you’ve grown out your hair, it’s time to stop styling it the way you used to when you had regular color. If you used to use a flat iron or curling iron every day, that’s no longer an option. Instead of constantly trying to get your hair into the same style as before (because let’s be honest: that never works), focus on finding products that help keep frizz under control and give volume at the roots.

If at all possible, try not to wash your hair every day. Washing daily will do more harm than good for many people with colored hair because it takes away from the oils in their scalp and can cause breakage later on down the road (not fun!). Try experimenting with different shampoos until one sticks—you’ll know when it does because there will be significantly less shedding post-shower!

Use a scalp scrub to remove buildup, which can clog scalp follicles and stunt hair growth.

Scrubs are designed to remove buildup from the scalp, which can clog follicles and stunt hair growth. Use a scrub once a week, but only on dry hair.

First, you’ll want to apply the product in circular motions from the center of your head outward. You can use your fingers or a brush—just make sure it isn’t too harsh!

Next, leave the scrub in for five minutes before rinsing with cool water (not cold). Finally, shampoo as normal and condition as usual. This will keep both your hair and scalp healthy while also getting rid of any dirt or buildup that’s been causing damage to your locks!

Embrace root touchups as a transition product. If you’re using them, they should be done every three weeks.

• What are root touchups?
• Root touchups are a product you can use to give your hair a more natural look, without having to commit entirely to growing out your dyed hair. They come in many different forms: temporary color sprays and shampoos, semi-permanent dyes that will wash out over time (twice as fast as normal dyes), permanent dyes that require bleaching or dyeing the entire head of hair at once, etc.
• When should I use root touchups?
• If you’re trying to grow out a dyed or highlighted color but don’t want the hassle of explaining why your roots are so dark when everyone else’s isn’t, then you may be wondering if this is something worth doing for yourself! The short answer is yes—it definitely helps maintain the vibrancy and healthiness of your natural shade by preventing breakage at those ends while they catch up with the rest of your locks. However, keep in mind that using it too often could make transitioning even harder because it’ll take longer for all those chemicals and artificial colorants to fade away entirely before trying again with something more natural next time around…

Your natural hair color is beautiful, but it takes patience to grow it out and maintain it while you’re still transitioning to a new look!

Growing out your dyed hair can be a long and difficult process. You need to be patient with yourself, because it will take time before you reach the point of being able to enjoy the benefits of having naturally grown-out hair. It’s also important to embrace change and accept that you won’t always want to keep your look exactly the same.

If you’re not ready for this yet, then don’t worry—it may be better if you wait until you are on board with embracing your natural color instead of forcing yourself into something uncomfortable and unfamiliar just because everyone else is doing it!
