Lazy never looked so good

Now is the perfect time to get lazy with your hair colour. If you usually book yourself in for a root touch-up at the first hint of regrowth, it’s time to give yourself (and your bank balance) a break.

An extra couple of inches of root are not only acceptable, but positively encouraged. After years of subtle ombre fade-outs and natural balayage sun-kissed colour jobs, this two-tone dye job is the natural next step, and requires minimal (in fact zero) effort.

Rather than polished, glossy blow-outs, think rock ‘n’ roll too-cool-to-care colour. Not convinced? See how these celebrities rock dirty roots. Their dos might just inspire you to do the same.

Ok, so Georgia May Jagger could make any hairstyle look cool, but she looks best with her dirty roots on full display. If you’re rocking a casual parted fringe like Jagger, let those face-framing pieces be the first to go au naturel.

Doutzen Kroes

Doutzen Kroes demonstrates that you can take this trend to extreme lengths with several inches of root regrowth. Combine with the wet-look hair trend for bonus points.

Margot Robbie gives a master-class in rocking the visible roots hair trend here. Tip: a side-part is perfect for working this style, and keep eyebrows full, well-groomed and an exact colour match to your natural hair colour to balance the look.

Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen

Mary-Kate and Ashley have been #hairgoals since, well, forever. They have been rocking dirty, girl-next-door roots since the early noughties (remember Holiday in the Sun and New York Minute?) and while on the subject of hair, no one does a middle parting better than these twins. Easy hair-spo here.
