Yes, since I have about 80% grey (mostly where it shows on the top of my head!) I do need touch-ups regularly.
Funny, I had my first appt with a long hair specialist (found from this site), and she said my current brittle hair was suffering from a build up of too much protein! She asked me to stop using leave-in conditioners and prescribed a Pyto shampoo and Biogenol conditioner to get my hair back to where it should be.
I am on my way to healthy long hair!

You want your hair to return to a "healthy" state, but you want to continue with "touch-up" coloring... I assume you want to maintain a color different from your natural color.
Deep condition with a reconstructor-type (protein) conditioner. Also, apply a couple of drops of jojoba oil to the palms of your hands, rub together, and work into your dry hair.
I know this doesn't directly answer your question, but I hope my response is of some help to you. Good luck and let us know how your upcoming salon visit goes.

Help! I want desperately to obey the rules and help my hairdresser help me in both growing my hair out AND returning it to a healthy state.
I've had damage from a year or so of highlights, a bad haircut, and gosh knows what else. Anyway, I am dealing with some breakage and split ends ON TOP of the fact that my hair is about 80% gray, sooo, I need a touch up every 3 weeks!
I am in the process of changing hairdressers because I moved. I won't see my new, highly recommended (from this site) stylist until another week and a half. This puts me a week or more past when I normally like to touch up my roots.
Is there a safe home alternative to touching up my roots between salon visits? I have rinses and crayons, but need something that lasts longer...at least a week.
Does anyone know about water-based colors, or perhaps even the drug store 'Loving Care' with no peroxide or ammonia?
Comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
