I'm in my ea...You do have gorgeous gray hair!<br /><br /><br />I'm in my early 40s and colored my hair in my 20s. Now, I think I might 'frost' my hair with an ash blond just to bring those first grays in a little more blended with my natural dark hair.<br /><br />But even that makes me chicken.<br /><br />I remember reading this article in O magazine and thought you might find the photos interesting: http://www.oprah.com/omagazine/How-to-Make-Your-Gray-Hair-Look-Gorgeous<br /><br />Just this week I found a link to this: http://goinggraylookinggreat.com/<br /><br /><br />Thank you for your lovely thoughtful post today and your blog everyday!Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07874681310775395586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781753636089506134.post-91378705407260121222010-09-05T13:03:27.416-04:002010-09-05T13:03:27.416-04:00It's different for men, but I couldn't wai...It's different for men, but I couldn't wait to get gray. It looks so...substantial, so fully human.<br /><br />My wife is going gray as well. I think it makes women look mature and in command of themselves. I mean, women who have done the woman thing (as opposed to the perpetual-adolescent-girl thing) know better than to buy into the eternal youth claptrap.kkollwitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17691145638703824456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781753636089506134.post-56699763948109821942010-09-04T21:03:38.972-04:002010-09-04T21:03:38.972-04:00That is awesome about your grandmothers, Elizabeth...That is awesome about your grandmothers, Elizabeth! It will be interesting to see what happens to my hair as I age. My father's mother colored her hair up to the day she passed away. My mother's mother had "salt and pepper" for awhile and then it switched to a pewter color.<br /><br />My aunt (mother's sister) who had gray sprinkled throughout her dark brown hair, was told by her twenty-something daughter that she looked "old" and to color it. She finally did, lol. Having a young baby at our age is bound to cause some puzzlement, but your hair color sounds pretty. I still have my moments when I look at a particular shade and dream a little. But then I remind myself of how much time and money I'm saving. C'est la vie, indeed! :-)Mary Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04107504165449607702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781753636089506134.post-74682155561755536882010-09-04T17:48:32.403-04:002010-09-04T17:48:32.403-04:00Both of my Grandmothers had pure WHITE hair and wi...Both of my Grandmothers had pure WHITE hair and with the amount of gray in mine I am hoping that I inherit that beautiful color! Right now my hair looks either dark strawberry blonde or light reddish brown...Sometimes I color it just to make the color prettier, but you can barely tell when it is growing out :)<br />The only problem is that I am 46, have a 9month old and have been asked twice recently if he is my grandson :p<br />C'est La Vie!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07505258364895249347noreply@blogger.com
