Yeah, I will say around the 4 week mark your hair color will fade a bit. But, not to the point where you can tell. I have a level 1 black all over currently, and it probably has faded to a level 2 or 3. No big deal really. Usually in the 6-8 week ball park I need to recolor it. But by that time I'm usually wanting some new funky color and it works out anyways!
