Any gal who dyes her hair has times when keeping her hair color up-to-date falls to the bottom of her priority list. There's no reason to feel bad about it though: even celebrities get a little behind on refreshing their roots occasionally—and they have* teams* of people devoted to making sure they look their absolute best! So for next time you get a little off-schedule with your own dye job, here's a smattering of celebs who have recently been caught with dark roots to prove that you're in good color-neglecting company:

Example 1: Madonna—by far not her worst root situation (remember her big dark-on-top/light-on-bottom hair phase in the '80s?), but notable nonetheless.

Example 2: Jessica Simpson, whose famous blonde locks could use a touch up here.

Example 3: Mad Men star January Jones with that day-before-her-color-appointment look.

So there you have it, proof that it's just not possible to always stay on top of your hair color, even when you have people to help you with it.

Now let's open up the topic for discussion: Do you kind of like the look of dark roots with light hair? Think Madonna is trying bring her old style back? And for those of you who color your hair, how often do you do it? And what do you do when your roots are growing in and you don't have time to touch them up?
