When
Jennifer Lopez was crowned
People magazine's 'Most Beautiful' woman in
2011, she admitted in an interview, that she started
going gray at
age 23, and has since then, been touching up her
butter-y brunette roots every 2 weeks!
Sounds like another
talented star.....
super blonde Gwen Stefani. We learned that she, too, was
root-phobic and has
J.Lo beat by a
few days earlier.
Gwen told
Harper's Bazaar that she keeps those
pesky roots away, by using a
beauty trick that
movie goddess Marilyn Monroe lived by:
"Do you think Marilyn Monroe had to talk about this?" she asks smiling
. "Well, I heard she did hers with a Q-tip every 10 days, so I try to follow Marilyn's rule." I mention that she's never been photographed with
dark roots, and she points to the
houndstooth fedora she is wearing,
"And you'll never see me with roots either."
Visible roots bother most of us with
colored hair and/or
grey strands. And like
Gwen Stefani, there are ways to hide the
roots when you can't cover them up at the moment. Yes, a
hat works. You can also try a
jagged hair part, instead of straight down the
middle or
side.
You can buy those
clever root fixers that just hide the
little devils until you can head to the
salon.
But for some women,
roots are very
challenging hair strands that
are so
stubborn, that even a
salon professional cannot always achieve the
perfect dye job.
So, until that
beauty dilemma can be solved
permanently, many of us reach for the
color sticks, wands, powders and so forth, to hide
nature's curse, ourselves included!
