Grey is distinguished looking. Very flattering on most men.

Keesha, oh yeah! Keeping the blue hair until the spirit moves me to change it to something else. Maybe green for Christmas with a star shaved into the back!

Oh you really ARE a special kind of unique. Way to go. No wonder your kids are saying “way to go grandma.”
Hey I’ve got colours of all types including green. The shaved star at the back sounds awesome. You could even add sparklies to it. FFAA6833-0FB2-40FF-A8E6-5C2B94455127.jpg9E9DACA6-478A-4AA6-8907-8675BFB1B1E8.jpgCF12072D-B1E1-42C4-8227-570A18621F5B.jpg703C746A-4EE3-4D17-A6F2-53249159FEC5.jpeg
 

My hair is thick, dark blonde and mid-back length. I have been getting it weaved every 6 months or so, because the grey strands are coming in. However, I may stop getting the weaves since my hairdresser charged me $150 last time! :rolleyes:In the winter, I wear it down, but out of my face and in the summer it's clipped up with a claw clip or pony tail. I like to keep the style simple. No fuss!

Oh CeeCee. You sure are real pretty. Your hair is gorgeous.
I agree that long hair is easy to care for.

I think blonde looks the nicest while transitioning to silver since gold and silver go so well together. It’s so important to get a hair stylist that listens and you like

I used to colour mine organically with henna and once I decided to grow out my colour I tweaked my colour by adding hibiscus so it was cherry cola red. I often wear it up or back with handmade hair accessories.
Heres some before going grey and after going grey.

Since henna was such a long process and I had to do root touch ups every 10 days I decided to pack it in. Besides which once I saw my gorgeous silvers I fell in love with my natural colour. Not because silvers now in but because it’s an ‘earned’ Silver.
I also love using those washable spray colours. They are super fun.

That is neat. I never do anything with my hair but I like the way you do.
Maybe I will try to later.
 
Thanks MeAgain. I never used to do much with my hair before but now it’s so long and thick that I have to tie it up . It’s far easier than it looks. All you need to do is make a braid, roll it into a bun and put a stick or fork through it to keep it secure.

It saves you hair getting tangled. Is perfect for when your hair is dirty and you don’t have time to wash it. It’s perfect for pinning up special hair treatments like oil or conditioner and really helps prevent hair from sun damage.

If you need any help I’d be happy to help you. You have the perfect hair for it.

I just roll mine up and pin it with bobbie pins or clasp. But your way looks nicer and more kept.
 
It's nice to see all the different hairstyles here. Attractive bunch of women :)

I've always alternated between longer hair and a blunt cut. I've kept it between shoulder length and blunt since letting it go salt & pepper. I get low lights now, as pure gray tends to make my skin look washed out. My low lights are more toward brown than black. This is how I'm wearing it now (not me, btw)

I love that ‘pageboy look’ that’s cropped short at the back.
It shows off the hair thickness so nicely and really is an attractive look especially for a salt and pepper colour.
I bet it look fabulous on you and is easy to maintain.
Maybe someday you’ll show us.
 
That looks gorgeous CeeCee. I have a bit of blonde hair envy.
In my opinion, it’s the easiest colour to transition to grey and the woman who do so graciously.
How often do you get your hair done?

Thanks....I envy your thick wavy hair!..mine is straight and thin.

Not often enough...that was before Thanksgiving.

Im overdo! But since I do highlights and I always wear my hair clipped up, you really can’t tell too much.

Ill probably get it done when i visit my daughter over my birthday and Easter....I always get it done there...never in Fresno.
 
I'm Asian, and also have blonde hair envy, LOL! Oh, I see lots of young Asians with blonde hair, but it just doesn't suit our skin tone. However, in my 20's, I gave myself blonde highlights and it looked good. That's when my hair was long and silky.

I guess the grass is always greener on the other side. I wear my hair either tied up or tied back. Rarely is it worn down. It gets caught in too many things and gets too tangled.

I’ve always thought blonde hair was over commercialized and still do. Most people at some point in their life want blonde hair.
Most of my life I’ve never really envied blonde hair but while I was growing out my ‘glow in the dark ‘ cherry cola red hair into salt and pepper, I had SERIOUS blonde hair envy.

There are a lot of young Asian women who are dying their hair blonde which is a shame because I think culturally Asian women have some of the nicest hair texture of all cultures.
 
I rather miss having long hair, but it would cost too much to keep up the lowlights. I generally would wear it in a ponytail, bun or side braid when it was long.

My lowlights don't show up in my avatar, unfortunately.

I always admired blonde and red hair .. also auburn (my daughter's hair colour).
 
Maybe when you decide to stop colouring you’ll grow it back long.
Long hair is easily to care for than short styled hair. All you need is a proper clip; just twist the tail and clip.
Super simple. My favourite hair colour is red which is why I use to colour it with henna but I do still have natural red streaks that show through the silver strands. I’m just glad I don’t have to do my roots every 10 days. That was a lot of work. Henna is a dry herb made into a mud like paste that sits on the hair for 4 to 8 hours.
 
My mother’s hair is starting to get long again. Yesterday I miraculously convinced them that they need to start visiting and adding their names to various retirement homes. I let them know that if they don’t have a plan for how they’d like to spend their last years, then that choice could be taken from them.

Every time I see my mom her hair at the back of her head is all stood up and is sticking out. Well I finally realized why. Her hair was filled with so many knots and tangles that it had all beehived at the back. It took me about 2 hours to detangle her hair and I had to do it in stages.

Since I was taking them I asked my mom if she’d like some BLUE added to her hair. I told her we could look like twins and she really liked that. When she laughed I added that add least people will be able to tell that we are related. She agreed and was actually VERY receptive to the idea and while at the manor the amount of people that approached us about our hair and the uncanny resemblance was overwhelming and my mom was tickled pink. She looked so proud. She still introduces me to people as her brat daughter but I have to admit that the name fits cause I AM. I just have to tell people I do actually have a proper name.

Anyway after brushing out all the matted mess I French braided it dnd adding just a hint of blue and it looked fabulous on her.

We both had matching dog paw hair clips too. It was a true bonding experience.

Here is a picture of how it looked from behind

In most of my photos my hair looks shorter than it actually is. My hair is actually down to close to my shoulders when I let it down, but most of the time I put it up in a messy poof and then let my bangs fall in the front.
 
A messy poof meaning messy bun .
Right?
I love the messy bun look.
Unfortunately my hair doesn’t do that look too well.
By your avatar I bet you nail it Mollypops
 
I was forced to wear my hair long when I was in grammar school - in braids that reached to my waist. When I moved to a different foster home and entered junior high, I had my hair cut medium length. When I graduated High School I thought to become a blond by peroxiding my hair. It turned a medium red instead. I decided I liked it and continued to color it until 2011 when Chemo made my hair disappear for a few weeks. When it grew back in, it did so in tightly curled ringlike curls like I had when I was 5 years old - except it was, of course gray. I'd grown tired of having to recolor it and liked the grey color, so I quit coloring it. The ringlets didn't last, but I do have naturally wavy hair, so most of the time I keep it pretty short and let it grow out for 6 months or so before heading back to "Super Cuts". I refer to it as my biannual haircut. It grows in waves that frame my face.
