Grown-out roots actually look pretty cool – these photos prove it

Published on 23 March 2020 - Last updated on 19 December 2025 by Beth Ryan

Whether you’re self-isolating or social distancing, we’re all united in one thing; the new normal. We commute to our “offices” by merely walking downstairs, we go for a drink with our mates via Facetime and that religious 6-weekly hair appointment? Well, that’s on hold for now. Don’t worry though – it turns out grown-out roots actually look pretty great. 

Salon-fresh is unbeatable (obviously), but there’s something really cool about grown-out roots. They give your hair *that* effortless, worn-in look that everyone always talks about. Dial it up with “undone”, messy styling (ask yourself, “what would Blondie do?”). Not the grungey kind? Go sleek on the styling front – try slicked down or poker straight – for contrast.
