Laziness and poor grooming, in my opinion. I used to be a bleach blond but it's too much work (and expensive) to get roots professionally done every 3 weeks.

That bothers me also. Hardly ever see a bleached blonde on TV without the dark roots.

I don't like it either..

For me it is a little easier to throw a little Roux Fancyfull on my 'white' part so I don't have a white stripe in my brown hair...8)

wow... lol get up on the wrong side of the bed? LOL
I would imagine that time just gets away from people.
I see "roots" everyday. Mostly white or gray ones.
Seems like a lot of peeps nowadays use foiling, and
and that adds more colors and I think it helps with
roots not being so visible.
I doubt that all of these people have poor grooming..... just
possibly the last thing they are thinking about.
roots... one of the reasons to not color your hair. lol

It was the in thing for a while (I guess maybe it still is) to have the darker roots... In fact, some lighter colored hair celebs were dying their roots darker to get this look. Didn't bother me after I knew they weren't just being lazy and it was kind of the fashion...

From one Dottie to another, I agree on the roots, disagree on the twit. That show would be boring if it were all liberals. Just because one disagrees with ones opinions doesn't make the other person a twit!

True, Georgysmom, but that particular one IS a twit. Has nothing to do with her opinions! OK, that was JMHO.

I missed it today and didn't notice it yesterday. Maybe she's just too busy? She needs to do something with it or just frost it.

Ha....I thought that was the style now, since I see it so often. What do I know?? I don't watch the show so I can't comment specifically.

I DO like the shadings in various colors that you see a lot these days. Probably expensive to have done??? (foils, is it?)

LOL - sign my name to Sushipup's post.

I have enough problems with keeping the light white/sidewalk gray strip covered up. I have a color stick (which i very hard ti find) that I can rub on it to turn it brown but really!! hate to have to dye just to gett rid of the scalp line. There was a product called couvre or something like tht tthat you could comb in. I see what's her hame is flooding tv with commercials for her get rid of the streak product but very pricey

At least you can tell that they were Smart Brunettes not dumb blondes (joke)

I thought maybe she was letting it grow out.I don't mind her,the show would be boring as hell if they all thought alike!!! JMO

That is one reason I never colored my hair or try to cover my grey! Way too much trouble.
By the way,it isn't actually the "roots".The roots of the hair are below the scalp.Never could figure out why people called it the roots.LOL My daughter is a beautician and her teacher in cosmetology school would jump on them all the time when they called it the roots.He said it was called "new growth"! LOL
Whatever you call it,it's tacky when not properly attended to!

I still don't think Elizabeth is a twit. She's very black and white and in life, there is a lot of grey. She's very young yet and after living life a little she'll learn about the grey areas.

Dotmom, funny you should mention this as that's the first thing I noticed as EH sat down today. She seems to do that often though and it bugs me. Since she has full access to hair and make-up everyday, you'd think her stylist would do something, but maybe EH likes to take care of it on her own like Bonnie Hunt does.

I know this OT, but what was she talking/crying about when she felt bad for hurting someone's feelings?

Frankly, I think roots on anyone look awful!

Matti5-On the view, Elizabeth made some careless remarks against Erin Andrews wearing skimpy outfits on Dancing with the Stars, and maybe that type of dressing is what got her into trouble (the stalker who videotaped her in her hotel room).

She apologized the next day. Erin Andrews said she cried when she first heard the remarks, saying that Hassleback was blaming the victim (her).

It's been a long time since I colored my hair but how exactly does one avoid 'roots' if you are using any sort of hair color? You can't exactly attack each new millimeter of new growth as it appears. You have to wait for some measure of new growth before it's worthwhile to do a touch-up, no?

Reminds me of waxing hair. I never could understand the benefit of that. Sure, you can be smooth for a while but you have to let the hair grow in long again before waxing.

Yes you can attack it..with Fancyful...I've used it for years...

Are you blonde, Patti? It's easy enough to cover up gray roots with a darker color but being blonde requires bleaching.

Dottie she's probably just going for the skunk look.

and there's a LOT of jokes to be told after saying that, but I'll refrain, at least for now! :)

I kind of prefer to see a little of the roots showing. I don't care for the look of freshly bleached hair particularly on someone who was never naturally blond. It looks a bit too harsh for my taste.

When there is a little growth showing, it is possible to style the hair so it is less noticeable. I noticed EH reversed skunk stripe wasn't as appearant this morning, her hair was more fluffed up. A few jokes have come top my mind too, Cynic, but I have refrained. LOL Dottie

How about suggesting that they wear a turban when the new growth is showing some??

If they're living in town, it could be called an "urban turban", right?

Some of us don't have hardly enough up there to get fussed up about what gradations of colour there may be 'tween the scalp and the far end.

ole joyful ... some gray mixed in with the dark - same all the way from end to end (I think - don't see qas well as I usta, either).

P.S. How many twits does it take ...

... to make a Twitter??

o j

OJ,You are funny! LOL
I think it is sad that we (and I include myself) can make jokes and sarcasms about someone based on the color of their hair,or because they may not think the same way we think,or because they are outspoken about their beliefs,or because they didn't put their brain in gear before they opened their mouth!
I need to remember that.

I honestly think it is the current look, but I still think it looks awful. I also hate the current look of several days beard growth on men, even at really nice places and occasions. My older son does that--ugh! At least he shaves for special events.

My younger son says he does not shave on weekends as his face hurts from the shaving and he likes to let his skin recuperate. Wish a knew of a good safety razor product for him.

My dark "new growth" is showing and I'm too busy to get it redone right now. I'm glad I'm not around some of you who would think I was lazy or had "poor grooming". I have about 3 or 4 different colors going right now, including gray but I have stuff to do, like paint a bedroom and move a bunch of crap out of my way.

As far as the twit comment, I think all the other women on The View are twits too, but that's just my opinion.

LOL kathsgrdn, I totally agree with you. I have a stripe showing right now, but have to wait a couple more days before going one color again. I'm NOT blonde, but my hair is clean and styled, but some things take priority over my hair.

I've heard similar comments about not re-painting nails or putting polish on toes. Things like this simply don't bother me. When I was in high school, I did my nails every day to match my clothes. Now with laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc., I don't have time to repaint every time I chip a nail. The last time I had a professional manicure, I ruined it by working in my garden.
