How far in advance should I be coloring my hair for my wedding??

Asking for a friend...


Choosing a hair color before your wedding is a personal decision that depends on several factors. Generally, it's recommended to make any significant changes to your hair color well in advance to allow for adjustments and to ensure you're comfortable with the final result. Here's a guideline to help you decide when to choose your hair color:

  1. 6-12 Months Before: If you're planning a dramatic change in hair color, such as going from dark to light or vice versa, or if you're considering a new hair color that's significantly different from your current one, it's advisable to start the process 6-12 months before the wedding. This allows time for consultations with a professional colorist and for gradual adjustments to achieve the desired shade without excessive damage.

  2. 3-6 Months Before: For less dramatic changes or subtle alterations to your current hair color, you can start 3-6 months before the wedding. This time frame allows for consultations, any necessary test strands to preview the color, and a final color application.

  3. 1-2 Months Before: If you're only looking for minor tweaks, like refreshing your current color, covering up gray hairs, or making small adjustments, you can do so 1-2 months before the wedding. This timeframe ensures that your hair color looks fresh and well-maintained on your special day.

  4. 2 Weeks to 1 Month Before: Your final color touch-up or treatment should be done 2 weeks to 1 month before your wedding. This timeframe allows your hair to settle into the desired color and look its best on your wedding day.

Remember that it's crucial to consult with a professional colorist or hairstylist well in advance to discuss your wedding hair goals, assess the condition of your hair, and create a customized plan. Keep in mind that any new color treatment may require maintenance, so discuss a schedule for touch-ups or any necessary adjustments to keep your hair looking flawless on your wedding day.
