15 Celebs Who Prove That Growing Out Your Roots Can Be Beautiful
1/16There's a new hair trend on the rise and, while it doesn't involve neon bright tips or a full head of tie-dye hair, its subtle color makes a very loud statement. Roots, as in the dead giveaway that your fiery shade of red wasn't the color Mother Nature intended, might actually be in style. And, while our moms taught us visible roots should be covered up immediately, some of our favorite celebrities are saying otherwise. Recently cropping up at red carpet and fashion events, the natural roots we've been seeing certainly aren't fooling anyone, and would surely have our mothers gasping in horror. And since we know all too well the commitment color upkeep requires — from the time spent sitting in the salon, to the money we're forced to say goodbye to every month — maybe it's time we start embracing our roots, too. So go ahead, skip your next salon appointment and wear your roots with confidence like the celebrities here.

We'd expect nothing less from Rihanna, who constantly breaks the traditional rules of fashion and beauty to form her own unique style. Her latest hair color of choice calls for black roots and red tinted lengths.

Even bleach blonde babes like actress Nicola Peltz skip out on the salon from time to time and let their roots peek through.

We first saw her sport them while blonde, so we know Kylie Jenner supports the visible roots trend. And, when she recently went mint green, she kept her black roots once again, in what we can only assume was a mint chocolate chip-inspired dye job.

Miley's roots practically went unnoticed thanks to her braid and red glitter, but her dark roots were definitely visible in her otherwise platinum blonde hair.

It may have only been a temporary look, but Rita's blonde roots were left out of her otherwise subtle pastel pink locks — which still goes down as our fave in Rita Ora hair history.

Blink and you'll miss them! The Pretty Little Liars star's roots are just peeking out of her deep side-parted blonde locks.

Queen Bey embraced her visible roots, so really, what more are you looking for?

The lead singer of Echosmith sports two-toned hair that covers more than just the roots, but is a bit more dramatic than the subtle balayage or ombré colors we're used to seeing.

Perrie put her dark roots on full display by parting her hair in the middle and pulling the top section back.

Giving it the supermodel seal of approval, Jourdan Dunn left her roots dark and styled the rest of her caramel-colored hair into a tousled bob.

Another look that's a bit more drastic than your typical ombré, Sarah Hyland sports dark brown roots and all blonde on the rest of her bob.

Dakota made her dark roots chic by pairing them with two classics; bold red lips and a little black dress.

Her big sisters, Mary-Kate and Ashley, have been working the roots for years, so it's no surprise Elizabeth always leaves some showing in her blonde hair, too.

Gigi’s sunny, Cali-girl strands start dark and fade to light. There’s really nothing this supermodel can’t pull off, so it’s all working for her.

Hey, the Biebs has been having some beauty moments as of late, and while he's since gone all bleached blonde on us, #neverforget when his barely-there roots made their red carpet appearance at the VMAs.
