Going grey gracefully?

R's fabulous new hair colour
As if?

Hi Babyboomers
 
An article by Shonagh Walker in the Sunday Telegraph was headed 'Going grey gracefully'.
She suggests that "In the past when a silver strand appeared, we raced to the colourist immediately. Keeping up the colour on rapidly greying hair (I prefer 'silvering') is time consuming and expensive. The natural solution is to let it be, well, natural."
At least she is somewhat conditional and sensitive to those of us who are "just not ready to go there." (and I'm wondering how old you are, Shonagh?)
So then a few guys such as Emiliano Vitale from Sydney's E Salon, get up and say,"There is a swing towards embracing grey. It can be polished and flattering."
And then we get the list of the 'brave folks' who have taken the gigantic step - Dames Helen Mirren and Judi Dench. Even younger celebs, including Pink, Kate Moss and Lady Gaga, are having silver threaded through their locks.

The article then becomes practical and had some good suggestions as to how you can overcome transition periods, regrowth by 'reverse highlights to blend' etc

Will talk more on this subject. In the meantime I seem to have some sort of scalp condition which appears like scaley cradle cap, so I am very threatened that I may have to eventually face this decision!

To dye or not ?? That is the babyboomer question

Hi Babyboomers
I have been dying to talk about hair, mainly about issues to do with dyeing it or not - and my friend from www.shopatnextdoor.com 
has  provided me with the perfect opportunity.    


I have cut out articles from magazines etc, have observed brave friends who have taken the au - naturale road (No no no! Not me! Don't be silly!), so feel I am quite expert at the subject; and I am totally with  her. Why not be a perfectly natural red head? I think she looks like a movie star!    More to come on this strand but in the meantime, I am asking her how it has changed her life.  I will keep you in touch.

Red, Set Go...

Have you ever just wanted a change? You know something to brighten your day, set your world on fire? Well that was me yesterday at the hair salon. Why not go red? After all I was born a red head.My father's nick name was Red. I have fair skin and freckles, perfect for red hair. So I pulled the plug (on the bottle)and unleashed the real me. Reddy, set, go. What do you think?
