I don't color or treat it. I don't use heat on it. I use whatever shampoo /conditioner and occasionally deep treat w a masque. I wash a couple times a week.... So I spend maybe $10 a year?

I got out of the habit of having it done pro when I realized though I tipped well, they never remembered how I liked it done and it's so long it was always pricy. I don't get splits so I was told I could get away with once or twice a year trim. I then had kids and what time I take away from them I don't want to spend getting a haircut and awkward small talk.

Am in a wedding in a couple months where we can pick our style/ do what we want, gift of the bride and all I can think is I don't want a stranger touching my hair....what to do/ how to decline....

Oh please. Get over yourself.

Evary 10 weeks highlights and trim.. About $250 a visit
Shampoo and conditioner about 30$ month
Argan oil.. One $15 bottle lasts 2 mos

About $200/month for everything- color, styling, cuts, products. For a few years I tried going the drugstore color route, but I was seldom happy with the results. After 7 years of kids/ not taking care of myself like I should, I decided enough is enough and put myself in the hands of professionals on a regular basis. No more root shame, summer frizz, or feeling like I always have to pull my hair back.

cut every 8 weeks $75 = $450
drug store semi-permanent color every 28 days $10 = $120
drug store shampoo ~ $30/year

so ~$600/year

Hair products cost $30 each - there are two of them - and last me about three months.

Shampoo / conditioner is about $15 a month.

$100 cut and blowdry about 4 times a year

Drugstore shampoo, conditioner, and styling products (or Whole Foods... like Alba and Aubrey Organics)... I would say about $100 a year

So about $500 a year. I'm 42 and my hair is one of the few things about my appearance that I'm happy with. Haven't started graying yet, and have never done any coloring or chemical processing to my hair, so it's in good shape. I'm a dark blonde with red tones.

Cut every 3-4 months: $100

shampoo and conditioner: $15 every 3-4 months

styling products: $80 every 2-3 months

Are we twins? This is exactly what I would have typed, except for being Asian. Some gray has begun around my temple (I'm 46), but I like how it looks.

Every 10 weeks: $225 color (base,high and low lights)plus a cut

Every 5 weeks: $85 (root/base only)

Shampoo & conditioner $85 every 3 months

style & hold products: usually free with points earned at salon.

Crazy huh?

Cut and highlights every 5 or so months - $240. Otherwise, drug store shampoo and conditioner. Trim my own bangs even though it's free at the salon because I'm too lazy to go into the salon. I guess running the hair dryer costs money.

Get cut and highlights every 6 months. Use basic drug store shampoo and conditioner. No other products. Call me low maintenance.
