Trend Alert: “Shadow Roots”

Ever since Ombre and Balayage hair hit the scene, we love roots. Having roots is no longer taboo because they give us a more effortless and natural look. Plus, it makes touch-ups less expensive and growing out your hair a little less awkward. Of course, leave it to Instagram to take roots up a notch with the new trend “Shadow Roots.” Below are some of our favorites:

Violet and blonde go together like….Violet and blonde 😂 Root retouch with @joico Creme Lightener, @trionicshaircare Actuator, and @olaplex. Root color @joico 9V with Trionics No Lift and @olaplex left for 30 mins and rinsed through ends at bowl.
