Roots
I would like to know the meaning of "When was the last time you did your roots?" in the next passage.
One woman, while visiting her mother in the hospital, leaned over the bedrail, full of worry. Her mother's first words were, "When was the last time you did your roots?" The daughter immediately felt not anger but relief. Through the tubes and the fever, her mother was still there — still noticing, still caring.

Hi, When a woman colours her hair, the original colour starts to show at the roots as it continues to grow. She then 'does her roots', ie applies colour to her hair roots. Her mother was well enough to observe and comment on her appearance.
