Root mania

Any woman in the world will tell you the worst thing in the world to see is roots. Especially if you are naturally 100% gray. There is nothing worse than looking in your rear view mirror as you drive down the road to see a skunk stripe a mile long going through your beautiful hair. There really is no cure for this other than staying on top of your hair appointments and if your hair grows fast then you might as well change that 6 week appointment to a 4 week appointment.

Some tricks that can help you get through those last days until you reach the promise land of your hair salon. If you color your hair really dark and there are those few gray hairs standing up right in the front of your hairline take some mascara and brush over them. If you're a blonde you can take some dry shampoo ( I prefer Redken brand) and spray on your roots. After spraying always comb through your hair and even give your roots a little tease. Also for blondes ask your hairstylist to put lowlights in your hair that match your natural color.

For the girls who naturally have dark brown or black hair and like to have highlights but you don't like to maintain them. I feel your pain because I am right there with you. The best thing that I have done to fix this is problem is the ombre (don't try to do this yourself, please go to a professional) not every ombre has to be drastic it can also be very subtle. I recently had a client with this problem so we just did a subtle ombre and she loves it because she has the brighter feel for summer but no up keep that comes with highlights.
