roots on other women. do you look and think ooh you skank sort that out whack some hair dye on there, at what point do roots become an 'eyesore'. i ask as i really want to grow out my current hair colour (kind of already am!) and NOT dye back to a close to my real hair colour shade. so shoot. i can take it. [prepares tissues]

I don't really look that closely at other people's hair TBH. The exception being a woman on Eastenders which I see very rarerly who has two tone hair. I don't know her name but it is most odd.
With regard to yours, IIWY, I'd either have it cut really short or have streaks of a colour close to your own put in.

Ha! I was just looking at my own roots, pulling out white hairs (I'm 31) and thinking that I must buy some hair dye today and sort myself out!
If your roots are a similar shade to your real hair then it doesn't look too bad IMO and it's the only way to go back to natural so go for it.

I don't really care if people have roots - it only looks awful if your natural colour is really dark and you've dyed it blonde, IMO. Then i would dye it a light brown to ease the transition a bit! i dyed mine red about 2 mths ago and now my dark brown/grey roots are showing... but i don't think anyone else cares.

bleach blond and dark roots turn me on.
Especially with big hoopy earrings

There is a product you can buy now that strips off the old colour, it's in boots and costs about £12... I've got some but haven't used it yet as I need to leave it in for about 30-40. Mins and then you have to rinse for 20 mins!! Then you can put new hair dye straight back on top!

My riots ate about six inches , with blonde if about two inches. I hate it buy I am determined to grow it out.

Roots.

I do think sort your roots out, but mainly on dyed blonde/ black roots. I'm conscious of my own silver ones poking through, sorted them out last night though, it was getting pretty bad by my standards but I bet no-one else noticed.

I think you mean Vanessa. Who is bewildering shagging Max Branning, a man still besotted with his former wife Tanya who used to be his kids' babysitter but left him when she found out Max was shagging his son's delightful fiancee Stacey who is on the run having murdered the serial rapist Archie.

I don't watch it much either.

I think Vanessa's two-tone look is meant to look classy btw.
