A root smudge is the perfect hair technique for lazy girls—here's what an expert wants you to know

If there's one annoying thing about the latest hair trend of all things blonde, it's the root re-growth. Seriously, is there anything in beauty more tiresome than having to sit in that chair for hours on end to re-blondify the roots of your hair? I would argue no. And as someone who finds it hard to sit still for any given length of time, I find sitting in hair salons particularly frustrating (as much as I love a catch up with my stylist, that is!). 

Luckily for me, over the years the impossible has finally become reality: roots are *in*. Whether it's grungy grown-out roots or subtly faded styles that blend into your balayage, they're no longer the taboo of the hair world.
