If you’re panicking about your out-grown highlights and visible roots, you are not alone. We may have enough to stress about at the moment already but as Pheobe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag rightly pointed out, hair is everything.
Fortunately, it is time to put our minds at ease. This summer, the root is going to be bang on-trend. So instead of panic buying hair dye to bleach your roots from home (seriously, don’t do that), embrace your roots like the style queen you are.
“We have so much to contend with mentally without looking in the mirror and feeling down about our hair as well,” celebrity hairstylist Jack Baxter said via Glamour. “Our hair is such a significant part of our self-esteem and overall appearance that when we feel it doesn’t look its best, it can have an impact on our wellbeing.”
He adds: “Despite how our roots may make us feel, the root is undeniably cool again, hence ‘the return of the root’.”
In fact, the root is so on-trend that people have been paying to deliberately dye their root somewhere between their highlights and their natural color. It definitely increases the gap between dyes and anyway, having natural roots has always been discretely awesome.
