Paris, January 2026. Men's Fashion Week for the fall-winter 2026/2027 season has once again outlined a new hair trend. This is eloquently evidenced by the latest Dior Homme show by Jonathan Anderson. On the catwalk, stylist Guido Palau set the mood of light, raw negligence. The main message: today, visible roots do not mask. In 2026, they become a real aesthetic statement.
Visible roots: anti-retouching in hair coloring
Say goodbye to evenly colored and perfectly smoothed hair. At the Dior show, models walked the runway with darker roots that naturally transitioned into lighter lengths. This hairdo, directed by runway maestro Guido Palau, fits perfectly into the effortless chic aesthetic that is more relevant than ever. No longer does it need to be hidden, color regrowth becomes a full-fledged manifestation of individual style. The trend for visible roots reflects a broader philosophy of modern beauty: we celebrate the transition, movement and real life of hair and its color, rather than frozen, impeccably polished images.

Rebellious beauty
The hair is intentionally textured, almost wild, with a “just-done and tousled” effect. The untouched roots create deep contrasts and emphasize the lines and volumes of the haircuts, becoming a natural extension of the character of the show's silhouettes. This look conveys a carefree elegance, far from classic glossy perfection, but completely in sync with Jonathan Anderson's creative spirit.

Between “electric” roots and fluorescent wigs: the contrast according to Dior
In contrast to this authenticity, the catwalk also featured bright wigs, a real visual break: fluorescent yellow, almost acidic in places. They added a theatrical and futuristic feel to the show, highlighting its most spectacular moments. The juxtaposition of natural roots and neon wigs perfectly illustrates the dialogue between reality and fantasy that Dior Homme is building this season. On the verge of irony and extravagance.
