Roots

I'm not talking about the critically-acclaimed book and miniseries, or the band that plays on Jimmy Fallon's show. I'm talking about hair.

If you're going to dye your hair, dye your hair.

Nothing bothers me more (ok, a few things do) than people with blonde hair and brown roots. Or brown hair and blonde roots. Or red hair and blonde roots. You get my drift.

It looks awful.

It looks skunky.

It looks downright trashy.

I understand, some people are trying to grow their natural hair color out, so they're letting their roots grow, but maybe those people with naturally brown hair dyed blonde should dye their hair brown first, so it doesn't look so horrible. Easy, right?

Or maybe they should wear their hair up the whole time, so I don't have to see the horrible contrast.

And maybe some people just can't afford to get more hair dye. Fine.

But what's up with people, like Rihanna?

She's one of the biggest pop stars in the world, a millionaire, and she's walking around with black roots.




Seriously?

Maybe it's some kind of fashion statement I'm unaware of.

But I don't find it "edgy" or "daring," or any of the other red-carpet fashion terms people use.

I just find it cheap-looking and horrendous.
