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!
