High**** maintenance means that hair has been processed to the max and needs to be professionally tended to at least every 3-4 weeks. These processes create strong lines of demarcation and require the most commitment. These processes can include Bleach and Tone, Heavy classic highlights full and partial. Solid colors going light beyond 3 levels. Solid color covering 100% gray. High maintenance hair color benefits greatly from extra conditioning and care.

Minimum* maintenance means that hair has bee processed the very least and needs to be professionally tended to every 10 -12 weeks. These processes create no lines of demarcation and require the least commitment and rinse out in about 3 weeks. These processes can include glazes, glosses and color rinses and pigment infused protein and moisture conditioning packs.
At Hairtini we don't recommend going longer than 12 weeks for hair TLC. After 12 weeks you may have a color correction and your hair will be out of shape.
A good understanding of color maintenance will help you communicate with your colorist in choosing what hair color effects are right for you.
