Gosh April, you are very attractive.
You do NOT look like you belong here @ this senior forum.
I think we need to start asking for ID at the door. :laugh:
Beautiful!

Very sweet, very funny. Believe me when you see me walking around with my cane, there's no mistaking me for not being a senior, turned 60 this year and up close and personal look every bit of it. Of course I had to post one of my better pics, I ain't that crazy, but if you insist there's always.

Your hair is beautiful Lara. Isn’t it a combination of silver and gold?
Thats the nicest transition in my opinion. Is it true that blondes have more fun?
And why is my font so small? I must fix that.

You make paper flowers? Oh how lovely.

Paper roses, Paper roses
Oh how beautiful they seem to be

But they’re only imitation
Like my imitation life ve for you!

When I was younger I got a gift from my dads employer and it was a paper flower kit and it became my favourite thing to do for a while. I made paper chrysanthemums and paper roses. It was so much fun. You just had to make sure they didn’t get wet or that the cats didn’t sit on them as pillows :laugh:


I’d love to see some of your paper flowers April.
 
I thought this subject would come up! All my (young) life I had dark hair. As it started to gray, I would do touch-up dark, then went completely blond just to try something different. After that, I had to have chemo, and it all fell out. When it grew back, I was shocked to see how light gray it was. So I left it, and decided to just enjoy my natural look. But once more, for a HS reunion, I colored it dark, and now I'm regretting that. I'm letting it grow out natural again (see profile pic) and some of the lighter brown is still showing on the bottom. With aging, I've lost a lot of volume, so I figure my coloring days are done. However, I am letting it grow long because it is so much easier to care for, day to day (as CeeCee said)!

I think you look lovely and, you know, ombre is in fashion right now :)

I stopped coloring my hair about 6 years ago because I started having such an allergic reaction to the dye. It just wasn't worth it and I was coloring every 2 weeks just to keep up with the roots.

I had a hard time seeing myself with salt-and-pepper hair instead of reddish brown..haha. It's a whole new makeup and clothes mindset.

I actually found that my hair has thickened up since I quit coloring. I was getting very thin hair in the front where my bangs were but it's come back in so you might find yours will start coming back. I also had forgotten how wavy my natural hair is. I've grown mine out, too because I was sick of short hair (had it for many years) and I love that I have such interesting grey streaks on top of my dark hair underneath. I think Mother Nature knows what's better for us than we do...haha.

Stay well.
 
I'm so glad to hear your hair replenished itself. Mine was really thinning as well. I think I've noticed a bit of regrowth. I'm hopeful. It also actually seems to be getting darker gray at the root, weird. I agree, my 6th grade teacher said that everyone has the perfect combination of hair, eye, and skin color for each individual. I'm a Winter. I look best in white, gray, black or glue. You look like you are an Auburn. You probably look good in fall colors! Take care.

Autumn colors were my best colors when I had my hair dyed, but now I just look ill with those colors:eek:. I now look better in gray or black or blue...no white (too washed out).

My regrowth came in slowly but it did come back. Just be patient :)
 
I wore my hair very short for decades because it was easier to take care of. I've been letting it grown out and it's almost to my shoulders. I use a hairband to keep it pulled back until I decide what I want to do with it. It's gray and I don't color it. My granddaughter is taking cosmetology in high school and she should have her state license about the same time she graduates in May. She wants to fix me some kind of fancy wrap around braid so I'm going to be her guinea pig. I just need a couple more inches of hair. It takes longer to grow now than it used to.
 
When I was married it was long because my ex insisted. After we divorced I cut it all off!!!

I spent years coloring my hair because I hated the salt and pepper look. I hoped that I would get a kind of Cruella De Ville stripe off to the side like my mother did, but after I went back to my hairdresser and told her I wanted to grow all the gray out I realized it was never going to happen, it was still just a dark brown peppered with more gray strands.

Finally I asked her to help the gray along ;) Since then I've been getting it highlighted 3 - 4 times a year along with my cut every 6 weeks. This is especially helpful since I also like to add random neon colors to it just for fun. This was taken three weeks ago when I was on vacation... you can sort of see a bit of of the turquoise. Excuse the windblown look, we'd just taken a break from riding the Harley around the town we were visiting, so my helmet hair turned into beach hair after we strolled the shore.

Hi Ruth Chatter. Your hair is very lovely naturally silver. It’s like tinsel at Christmas.
Ive met a few people who have mentioned that their hair colour and texture changed after chemo.
Im glad you like the change. It’s certainly deserving.
Ive got an ombré look and quite like it but the first 8 months were horrible.

Thanks Keesha! It is hard to grow it out. At first it looks ridiculous, so I wore a pony tail most of the time. I'm still tempted to go blond over the white. LOL

You could put blonde streaks in it like Shalimar said. Then you’d have silver & gold hair. It would look gorgeous but so does straight silver.
The cool thing about having silver hair is that you can add those temporary colours that wash out instantly with the first shampoo. They are so much fun. Rose gold is the subtlest if you’re brave enough. Just sayin.’
You definitely suite being bikers! :yes:

Yes, Ruth, I think your hair is very becoming, very pretty on you, but if you're contemplating blonde, why not try it, you can always change it back again.

Mine has been blonde for years, wear it shiny, straight and it's quite long, waist-length now.
