My oldest sister is the same, ZZzzz. She does not want to be seen with grey hair. I am happy with the silvery grey that mine is but perhaps my sister's grey is a different shade because she definitely does not want it on show.

In March she bought a colour for it. She has since used more..

During the summer when she came to sit at a distance in our back garden for an hour, there wasn't a grey hair showing so she has coloured it well.

I have very fair skin while sis's has always been darker so she may not think that grey suits her skin colour.

Mine is long for me but not too bad, I'm completely grey and love it, one of my sisters however will not be happy the she can't colour hers, she won't even answer the door without make up on and hair just right.

Currently have my fringe all in my face not long enough to put behind the ears yet! My youngest son and I are competing for who has the longest hair right now...he's winning it's almost at his shoulders all the way round. :-D

Think ladies can carry off coloured hair better

Blokes dyed hair often looks very flat and false

My hair is very fine and the longer it gets the more chance of the 'fly-away' look.
BUT
Who's going to see it anyway? On my permitted walks in this weather, I wear a hat.

I don't colour it, so that's not a problem either.

It might not look great, but my hair really doesn't bother me, as long as it's clean.

OH has been doing his own - he has some clippers

I usually have short layered hair after trying it long a couple of years ago and deciding I still preferred it short.

Since last March I've been cutting my fringe and the sides and OH has been doing the back. It's been three times now but last time was a bit disastrous when he used the clippers - the first time I've let him, as it's always been scissors which he has been fine with.

Since that time I have only cut the fringe. My hair is now long and it curls up at the ends. It's long enough to bob inwards but I prefer it curling outwards.

It is still grey. I have to say that it's crossed my mind that since March has been the time to try various colours, not ordinary ones - pink and blue tints crossed my mind - but I've done nothing about it. If they were a disaster, no one would see my hair apart from the grocery delivery people. :-D

Not good again

I managed to get an appointment early dec for the usual cut colour and blow dry and looked human again

Should have gone last week for my six week redo together with a manicure but didnt happen

Soo have ordered a ladies trim set with different attachments to try and give it a trim up

Was going to get a semi permanent with my shopping today but sainsbury didn’t have the colour I wanted

Soo it’s still grey roots at the mo :-(

Probably because I have been using my hairdresser for twenty odd years, I managed to be fitted in on Christmas Eve so I still have a bob even if the step has grown out at the back.

I was talking to a lady at the eye clinic the other day and she was, I think older than me.She was telling me how embarrassed she had been to realize that she had answered the door with her hair up in bunches like Looby-Loo!
