50 shades

My hair is so thin and fine if I didn't colour it I'd look bald.
I think from the regrowth it would be quiet silver at the front and salt and pepper at the back . I colour it dark blonde.

Really love these photos but I can't load any. I've tried and tried but all I get is the circle thingy going round and around.

I hate to introduce one of the dreaded links into a relatively light hearted thread, but one or two posters have said they stopped colouring their hair because of the risk of cancer. This is what cancer research has to say.
www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/cancers-in-general/cancer-questions/does-hair-dye-cause-cancer
Tbe risk seems to apply mainly to male hairdressers rather than people who have their hair coloured and Cancer Research doesn't recommend 'changing your use of cosmetics' to reduce your cancer risk.

I hope this photo gets through - many times of trying....

It worked, it worked. Here I am with my grey hair but not in my front room. This was taken in an hotel.

Brill Falcon think sometimes the photos are too large and they take a while to load.

Great photo falcon. Your hair colour suits you.

Didn't think you'd have a trouser press in your front room falconbird
Your colour does suit you. You are nothing like the way I pictured you though. No offence, your just different

Oh I am constantly surprised when photographs are posted.I have a picture in my head of everyone and no-one is like I imagined. Strangely I had a mental picture of someone who changed names recently and until I realised,those "2 " posters had totally different looks in my head. Well it makes sense to me!!!

annsixty you look great.........what I would give to have hair the colour of yours! Mine's a dirty shade of mouse with lots of iron grey highlights.

I know what you mean. You have a picture in your head about someone and it's a shock when you actually see the person

What a good looking lot of grey haired grans.

I started to go grey at 30 and spent a lot of money on hair colourants and visits to the hairdresser.

Decided to call it a day around mid fifties when my hair started to thin and the cap highlights I was having weren't helping.

Lovely to see you all!!

Yet another lovely Gransnetter, Falconbird You have beautiful hair.

I think it's lovely to see what we all look like, pity we don't have profile pictures with our name, but then the anonymity would really be gone!

You look nothing like a falcon, you're much better looking!

Lorna I have always thought our photo would be nice against our posts a sit helps build up a picture of Gnetters...I know on some sites there is an icon to use if you don't want you actual photo displayed. Detracting off the thread slightly arn't I. Maybe techies will have a look at it some day and we can have a choice, to display or not display

I agree that everyone looks lively but that doesn't mean I'm going to have my photo next to my posts - that would shut down gn as fast as you like!

We have seen your profile photo kitty ( when they were on) and that just isn't true.!!

I think I am realising the colours which suit and those which don't by how I feel in different things. I also swear by a little necklace I wear especially in summer as it seems to go with everything and "lift" my face. (Self delusion, but if you feel good, I believe you look better, no?)
The baby is not one of the DGC but my ex-sis in law's new baby, we are very fond of her and her new husband so saw no reason to break contact. It sounds weird but she still feels part of the family! She is Singaporean Chinese and her husband is French. Very pretty baby I think!

Oh no, horizontal again?

Alea - you look lovely. I think your hair is like mine and looks blonde under certain lights. There's a photo of me looking blonde in my profile but it can't be accessed for some reason.

I wish I didn't have the name Falconbird but won't change it now. It does suggest a sort of fierce character and I'm a big softy.

Falconbird lol your name doesn't suggest you are a fierce character lol you name suggests a .....swift and sophisticated clever bird that soars through the skies and gently swoops to and fro gliding effortlessly through the air

Alea That's a lovely photo of you both!

Thanks Biker.

That is a fabulous photo, of both of you, Alea.

I also like your photograph. Such a sweet baby. x

I love your hair soop and would like to grow mine long, but it's thinning so I had to go for the short bob.
