Keeping up appearances....or not.
Photo this morning....feeling tired and unfocused.....and my hair (which I am trying to allow to return to it's now gray state.. never seen as I have colored it for many years)...
was looking pretty moth-eaten, flea-bitten etc. Still I didn't want to go to permanent color and face the continuing agony of roots growing out.....could there be something that would help???
I went to a beauty supply shop and asked for help. Several thought I should just do permanent color....but they helped me at least get a better look. (below)
The grays are still there, but blend better and I think I can keep doing this until it is all just gray. [Then I'll decide what to do next...but I want to see where nature has me now!]
There is something about even small improvements perking up our spirits....I like this and feel better! Below is the information of what I used....my color (to take out all that brassiness) is "TRUE STEEL". It is hair color...but it is temporary, not permanent!

I can remember using Roux rinses YEARS ago when I had my hair frosted! The rinse really does make a difference! Your hair is beautiful! I like the lighter color overall! ♥
yes, the cooler, ash tones work so much better...
Looking good!!!!!
Lila looking good..like the cut..me I'm gonna keep working on using "Chocolate Cherry", sounds like a sundae lol
I may have to look into that "Chocolate Cherry" color later...sounds great!
I like the new look! I've wondered about if it work to have hair lightened and colored to a silver gray and so when it grew out it wouldn't even be noticed. I guess I should ask a stylist if that would that work? My dad has the most beautiful wavy, silver hair and he went gray early! My hair is probably predominantly gray now, but I think my grandkids might have a stroke if they saw me with gray hair!! Still, I am definitely going a lot lighter- going to start out with frosted, then who knows! LOL
