For anyone hoping to avoid another expensive trip to the salon, the latest hair trend may be a practical and money-saving trend. If you find yourself constantly maintaining your highlights or hair colour, you’ll be pleased to know that lived-in roots are officially. For Winter 2018, the look of flawless salon locks has been replaced by the emergence of slightly grown out roots. Try drawing your beauty cues from Instagram, and using these gorgeous examples as your inspiration for rocking the look.

Soft platinum

With the addition of balayage highlights, platinum hair can look natural and soft. Try integrating light, tonal streaks into your hair, to avoid the look of harsh white blond colour. This way, your hair can continue to look gorgeous, even as the weeks progress and your roots eventually make an appearance.

Light brunette

For brunettes who want flattering colour, stick to caramel or honey highlights. These shades will refresh your naturally dark colour, and will allow your lived in roots to appear subtle. Although grown out platinum can look unnecessarily stark against chocolate brown tresses, that doesn’t have to be the case for darker, richer shades of blond!
