Blonde hair with deep roots is a hair coloring technique that allows natural brunette roots to merge seamlessly with blonde locks. Also referred to as the shadow root method, this trend addresses the annoying grow-out phase, which often ruins our freshly dyed light strands, along with the high maintenance it brings.
Ashley Benson, Diane Kruger, and Kristen Stewart opted for the understated blonde look and embraced this budget-friendly yet incredibly chic hair dyeing trend! It’s time to put an end to constant touch-ups and save your time and money without sacrificing your mane!
The advantages of rooted blondes go beyond low upkeep. Retaining your dark roots provides an ultra-cool contrast and natural-looking depth and dimension to the hair, making it easier to style!

#1: Deep Rooted Caramel Blonde (Bronde)
That delicate balance between blonde and brunette appears so stunning. Toffee sweetness that is not harsh, just beautifully delightful!
#2 Long Baby Blonde Hairstyles
A lengthy hairstyle with soft blonde highlights may be exactly what you desire. Request babylights with lowlights if you have a significant amount of blonde throughout your lengths. This will assist in blending the color, and then you can complete with a root shadow for a flawless grow-out.

#4 Platinum Blonde Locks with Naturally Dark Undertones

#5 Sleek Long Blonde Locks with No Fringe
Sleek long hair without bangs and a blended root is an excellent option for embracing blonde, particularly with less frequent root upkeep. Transitioning to blonde can be a lengthy process that impacts your hair’s health. Consult with your stylist about a balayage or foilayage technique to achieve a rooty appearance. Remember to include regular treatments while lightening your hair. One of my go-to products is the K18 Leave In molecular repair hair mask.
#6 Earthy Rooty Blonde Curled Hair
Infuse an earthy vibe into your hair. A richer root adds dimension and, most importantly, boosts the brightness of your blonde. It also helps to gracefully blend the color as your hair grows out. Consult with your stylist about the hair color that best matches your skin tone.
#7 Ash Blonde Tresses with Dark Brown Roots
For those just starting their journey into blondeness, begin coloring your hair a few inches away from the roots to promote healthier growth, ensuring you’ll achieve that beautiful brunette-blonde ombre effect swiftly.
#8 Wavy Blonde Curls with Deep Roots
Wavy blonde curls with deep roots present a fashionable hairstyle that is simple to maintain and looks effortlessly chic. It’s perfect for women who wish to celebrate their natural curls and waves. When the blonde hue is not applied all the way to the roots, it requires less upkeep as it grows in a more seamless manner. Remember to incorporate bond-strengthening shampoos and conditioners, such as Olaplex 4,5, and effective heat protectants like Cicaextreme Oil by Kerastase to ensure your blonde curly tresses remain vibrant and healthy.

This approach enables you to maintain your blonde without compromise.
#11 Pale Long Tresses with Dark Roots
Pale long blonde hair with dark roots is a classic blonde look with a twist. If you have dark hair, this style is a highlight. It leaves your hair natural between foils and tipping out the ends for some brightness. Use a demi or semi-permanent hair color if your natural hair is lighter. It will help to achieve a darker color. This will also assist your stylist. They won’t have to lift through permanent dark color, which is difficult if you want blonde.
#12 Brunette Roots with Blonde Highlights
Brunette roots with blonde highlights feature a gentle root transition. The color seamlessly blends from the roots to the tips, creating a beautifully soft effect! It’s essential to maintain healthy hair for styles like this with a shadow root! Consistent hair care rituals are key. Consider using Blond Absolu from Kérastase. With proper care, this look works well on both straight and curly hair.
#13 Complete Foilyage Hair
If you’re looking to revitalize your appearance and introduce more dimension, consider complete foilyage hair. This technique involves weaving fine hair sections and applying a blend of warm and cool blonde shades for a natural, sun-drenched effect. Maintaining darker roots is advantageous as it provides depth and contrast, allowing the blonde tones to truly stand out. This hair color is ideal for individuals with warmer skin tones, as it enhances their natural undertones. Instruct your colorist to incorporate a combination of creamy blonde and soft honey hues to achieve this style. This blend seamlessly integrates the dark roots and blonde highlights.
#14 Chic Messy Long Hair with Deep Brown Roots
Chic messy long hair with deep brown roots is stunning. Plus, it’s a highly fashionable hairstyle that suits your long, slightly textured hair.

#15 Radiant Blonde Ombre with Deeper Roots
If you’re aiming for a lived-in appearance, consider opting for a radiant blonde ombre with deeper roots. When you consult with your stylist, request lightening solely at the ends of your hair. Utilize a root touch-up spray every 2 weeks to maintain the vibrancy of the color. Regularly condition with a nourishing mask treatment from Oway. For styling, incorporate some delicate waviness using a curling iron or wand. Complete the look by spritzing on Oribe’s Apres Beach Wave and Shine Spray for enhanced texture and shine.
#16 Stylish Long Medium Blonde Locks
Are you in search of a fresh look with some lighter ends but prefer to avoid the upkeep of a complete highlight? This long medium blonde hair serves as an excellent balance to achieve that aesthetic. The deeper roots will enable your highlights to transition more smoothly than a full-rooted highlight. Aim to update your highlights every 6 months instead of every 12 weeks.

Try a chic and bold look with an above-the-shoulder blunt bob. Blending the natural root is the most effective way to go blonde without upkeep. Having a softly blended root will keep your visits to the salon down and cash left in your wallet. Avoid over-highlighting to prevent damage and an outdated appearance.
#23 Dark-Rooted Center Part
If you have dark hair and want to achieve a blonde effect, highlights can be beneficial. The foils they use do not adhere right to the scalp. The objective of obtaining a rooted blonde appearance can be addressed by utilizing highlights. You might need to inform your stylist that you desire a rooted effect.
