Graying hair?

poshgirl · Apr 02, 2021 at 09:49 AM

Now 65, I've had highlights and lowlights since late 20s, to add interest to boring dark brown hair. All okay until turning 60. have noticed more grey at sides and hair growing further onto my forehead

Like lots of people, now have lockdown hair. Next appointment end April (hopefully!). Stylist asked about colour as well; stupidly I said no. Hair has grown like mad since that conversation

again! Trying to rearrange appointment or maybe just go back a couple of weeks later for colour.

Mother and aunt (her sister) both used to dye theirs so difficult to know if I'm at same age or not for when they went grey. Who knows when I'll embrace grey, probably when salon visits get too frequent/expensive.

I had my color done last week. She did a lovely job of lowlights and highlights, but I'll still have silver roots in a week's time. I thought there was some way to blend lowlights with silver (or grey), so the silver doesn't look so obvious. But I guess whatever method is used, roots are inevitable.

Totally NATURAL here. I don't have time or the desire to spend time changing what is natural about me. I like my hair turning gray. I like me natural & no desire to change that

In 2 weeks I'll be fully immunized. I plan on seeing a stylist to cut and color my hair. I've been doing it all myself. At the moment, I have two-tone hair. Not that I wanted it that way. But the gray is growing out.

I started getting a strand or 2 of silver hair in my late 30s. After I got divorced, I changed my haIrstyle Iand started calling them "metallic highlights". I still get a little thrill when people don't get it and ask what salon I go to because they want to cover their gray hair.

I stopped dying my hair 3 years ago. It was a long process and got a lot of stares in the beginning because of the white/grey roots growing in against my brown hair. Now my hair is beautiful shades of different color grays, silver and white. I like to play around with Purple Hair Color | oVertone Haircare purple, blue and grey. I get tons of compliments on my hair all the time.
