I'm 67 and,wear my hair in a layered shaggy-ish style coming to just below my ears. A little longer on one side with an asymmetrical fringe. It's various tones of champagne blonde, at least that's what it says on the Nice 'n Easy packet !!

I've got a notion for a bit of funky colour. I've often had caramel foils, a couple of chocolate foils, etc.but not for a while. I'm thinking of getting perhaps a 'slice' on one side. Sort of like a Mallen streak but on short hair..... could be brown, or copper, even aubergine ....dare I say purple !! If I'm brave enough for purple....

I've looked on line but it's always young models. Or the older models haven't used colour in this way.......perhaps that should tell me something smile

Do any of you have a little bit of a rebel showing in your shortish hair cut/colour. I'd love to hear what you've done smile

My hair is easily looked after, just blowdry and tousle it a little.

I think it looks great Coolgran! You are living up to your name, you don't need to lessen it. My red streaks are just beginning to fade to pink after a month even though I use Head and Shoulders, only because it was on special offer, so I have 3 bottles to work through. I too think I might use less hair in each foil another time, but I am not sorry I went bold.
Does anyone watch The Voice on TV? Each week I have watched it I have noticed older ladies in contestant's families with very brightly coloured hair, perhaps done to stand out.

I have short thick hair that has gone white at the front and still dark grey at the back
I regularly have my hair purple or pink and my grandchildren love it and reckon I am a real cool gran
I use freedom colour from superdrug and it fades out in about 6 shampoos
People treat you differently when you show a bit of "attitude" .... Try it you will be amazed
