If your hair roots are darker or lighter than the rest of your mane it gives a very bad first impression especially since it looks a bit unkempt and uncared for. Different colored roots create an impression of being ungroomed.
If you decide to change your entire hair colour make sure you start off with your roots first and dye them regularly thereon. Secondly, or you can go ‘au natural’ by not dying your hair at all if it is cumbersome. You can sport your natural hair color instead.

A top knot has always been a girl’s best friend during all those bad hair days. Well, that rough hair knot at the top of your head with unruly strands of hair still poking out from all sides is ok when you’re at home.
Invest in a dry shampoo, a small handy comb and keep a couple of bobby pins in your bag always. Use them for a clean professional hair look. Secondly, you can tie your hair into a slightly high ponytail for a bouncy look or better still braid your hair which always works for all!
