Ghost Roots Maintenance: What Actually Keeps the Blend Looking Intentional

Ghost roots work best when the root depth still feels connected to the lengths. Once the contrast becomes accidental instead of designed, the look loses its polish.

• protect tone
• keep the root area soft
• refresh before the blend turns harsh

• per-article metadata and schema
• category archives
• reusable article cards and internal links
