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!

'Best in Snow' but 'Fine in Sydney'

Best in Snow February 20th

Loom Knit Continuous Scarf
Necklace of quartz and glass



Hi Renotta and other friends
Who's your friend? Divine scarf - this design would be ideal for Sydney in summer when the weather can be hot but can be cool down at night so a little 'shrug' is great. It also covers the dreaded upper arms while still allowing some decotalage to show. The neck piece would be very flattering as well.

It looks as though some of the snow has melted. A few memories came flooding back - tulips pushing their way through the snow in spring. No wonder they are such a revered flower, not only for their colour but because they herald the onset of spring and bring hope that the long winter will be over soon. What about ' renaissance' for a starting point.

January and February are the months of high humidity here and most people are happy when their energy returns with cooler weather.

Keep warm and be careful around the creek.
Love Clara
