1ST YR NO DYE......BUT WOT ELSE?????

Hello

I liked my shaved sides soooo much i decided to retain it. So when i went up to Manchester i paid a visit to her barber/hairdressers and got them to shave the sides and the back into a 'V' shape.

The result you see directly below.

Then i hated to see the coloured bits sooo much, I french plaited it all the way down showing off ma Mohawk man! lol
Then I had a panic attack....'oh my god, work!'. So i put a head scarf on it.

Then I had a Wedding party to attend and so i French plaited it upwards kinda like a pineapple. With the coloured bits hanging out randomly.

Then i went to down to Plymouth to see my little 'Chicken', and he had hair issues too! Plus let me tell you, i wasn't liking that crazy fringe thing! And the coloured bits were seriously beginning to take their toll on me.

So in honour of my 1st year anniversary i chopped off all the coloured bits that have bugged me for the best part of

one year.

So how you like me now?.... I LIKE VERY MUCH!!

ITS BACK!

Before

AFTER
It's growing people! Since i shaved the sides and a little bit at the sides, i got into the routine of brushing my hair again. Could this be what is responsible for a fuller hair growth? I feel it's a number of things, i stopped colouring my hair 11 months ago and the only thing i use on my hair is Olive Oil.....neat from the kitchen cupboards!!




Love to read some feedback, so dont be shy and tell me what you think or better still what your experience has been.

IS THIS MY FUTURE AS A SILVER FOX?

First and foremost, a very happy New Year to you all in blog land!

This is one of my staple hair style, with a head band though i wouldn't normally tie it back.


I was experimenting over the last weekend and came across a white hair spray that washes out with just one wash. Let me just tell you folks, i think am just going to be patient and let the hair be and grow out slowly but surely. I wasn't prepared for the impact it would have on how i felt about the whole grey thing.

Below is the back which is (in my book) next to nothing grey wise. I didn't spray any white on the back.

Da da......its a whole lotta white thing going on!!!! This was taken in my bathroom.

And this in front of the window offering some of daylight.

But don't worry folks i washed it all out this morning!. I don't recommend it...i think its was designed for a little fun and washed out as soon as possible. I slept with that crap in my hair for two nights and the whiteness disappeared and left a matt grey look. Plus as i shook my hair to rid it of excess water in the shower, i noticed quite a lot of hair on the shower walls. Far too many...if you do spray that sh*t in your hair wash it out the same day!!

According to my 1 panel judge (my son) he said it looked like dust!!!!

So that is, as they say is that!

Till next time.

3 MONTHS AS A SILVER FOXY LADY????

Well folks here i am exactly 3 months to the day i last added colour to my hair. When i see this picture, i wonder if i am really ready for the transition. On the plus side i can be quite stubborn so i think that trait will stand me in good sted.

Out of desperation and something to do to perhaps draw out my greys, i tied some grey cotton randomly down the entire length of my hair starting at the root where the grey meets the brown. I sat one evening & did a handful in front and it looked weird. And you can trust my 16year old son who just shook his head and said 'no mom, it doesn't look good'......so the following day i remove 80% of it and left a handful at random.

So in the meanwhile as i literally wait patiently....i will continue to try and wash out as much colour as possible by any means possible, so as to minimise the contrast between the colour and my natural greys.

Does anyone out there have any suggestions as to how to cope with the ugliness of this transition?

I have head band and scarfs at the ready.........but am looking for something really different apart from cutting coloured potion off once my greys have locked. Have i overlooked anything??

I look forward to your suggestions.
