Three women, three different ways to get down to the root of things. Jessica Simpson, Beyoncé, and Mary-Kate Olsen each have distinctive styles, but they share one thing in common: A refreshingly low-key attitude when it comes to touching up their roots. Each of these blonde stars can afford to have that "I just left a salon" kind of color, but letting a few roots show feels thoroughly modern — particularly in an economic cycle where pricey highlights are a luxury that many people can't take. So the next time you think about booking a color appointment, go ahead and postpone it a week or two. Judging by these trend-setters' hair, you'll be in good company.

I have blond hair and dye my hair brown so roots are a no-no for me. I'll admit that there are some to look good with a little (I mean a little) root because usually shades of blond hair naturally look darker at the root (mine did anyways)
Beyonce's hair just looks horrible and washed out
1i have the exact opposite problem...i dye my hair black, while my natural hair, and thus my roots, are blonde! is that still considered "trendy"? it sure looks bad to me!! i cant stand visible roots!
2I hate when people think roots are in, it's not.
3That doesn't look so good and drives me crazy! Maybe it's their idea of lowlights...
4I think its ok if your hair has a messy vibe to it, but it looks terrible on sleek styles like Beyonce.
5I have dark brown hair but dye it auburn.
I hate when people have roots. Its not cool looking at all
6I hate this trend.
7And is it me or does Jessica Simpson looks OLD?
8I think Jessica Simpson looks really pretty in this picture.
9I don't mind a little root- but I hate when people say its a trend. It's like if people just didnt do their nails or left the color all chipped and gross and then said that its a trend. It's basically just a lack of maintenance that shouldnt be a trend.
10Visible roots look unkempt, not modern.
11Agreed, Myystque...
12taaaacky.
13Not a big fan of roots and I have to get mine done very often. I think they look kinda trashy. Sometimes depending on the hairstyle you can let it slide for a few weeks, but beyond that, no...
14As long as it's not a dramatic, all-over color and you've left some lowlights it doesn't look bad, just as long as you don't let the roots grow too much. More than an inch is definitely bad. I'm grateful for this "trend" as I don't even go to the salon anymore; I learned how to highlight my own hair at home...and it's a lot of work!!! I'm glad to let more time pass!
15Blah I hate this look, it's lazy. And seriously Beyonces hair looks horrible.
16I DO AGREE BEYONCES HAIR LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE DULL 2!!!!!!!!
17ALSO WHAT IS GOING ON WITH HER MAKEUP IS IT JUST ME OR DOES IT LOOK A LITTLE MUTED AND BLAH......
to be honest, I think they're just a bit lazy
18It's not something I would do personally. But I don't "mind" it as much on Mary-Kate as I do Jessica & Beyonce.
19I don't think it's an attractive trend.
20I think my blonde highlighted hair looks better with a little root. On the other hand, when I dye my hair brown and my dark blonde roots start showing - NOT a hot look. Then it's off to the salon I go!
21HOW is 'visible roots' a trend?! I am so confused. Beyoncé's makes her look like she's got a wig on that doesn't go all the way to her hairline. Bad.
22I hate visible roots on fully dyed hair. It's so tacky to see people with blond hair with an inch or two of brown roots.
Highlights don't look so bad since it's normal for naturally sun-bleached hair to grow in darker.
23I dye my hair auburn, and if I don't go to the salon, my light blonde roots make it look like I'm going gray!
24I have natural red hair so roots aren't a problem yet! Messica travels with her gay hairdresser and her roots are in need of touch up and needs to run a brush through her rats nest!
