Grey hair

I have been growing my hair and it has started to go grey. I used a semi permanent colour on it and everyone said it took years off me. However, the colour really irritated my face and neck, so I have booked into a salon for highlights. Don't know whether I am doing the right thing, is it just better to go grey gracefully it's just that my friends tell me I look better with it coloured.

Well had my hair done, 3 different shades of blonde going through and people comment on how nice it looks, however, my hair grows really quickly and although you are not supposed to notice highlights growing out, you can with mine. It needs doing again after 5 weeks. I found it very expensive and time consuming having it done but thought it would last months, so I am going to try putting a semi permanent colour on, if that doesn't work, I will just go grey.

Luckylegs well, at least now you know for sure. It is a shame one couldn't have tried it in the virtual world as it would have been much cheaper and quicker but I suppose it is necessary to stand under the hairdo to feel it properly. smile
Just a thought -perhaps now you can stash the cash and have a splurge on something special. A new outfit? hmm
