Never again - be warned!

I raely go to a hairdresser,hate sitting amongst everyone else, [i used to like the cubicles] and also a cut ,colour ,and blowdry is around £60, i colour my own, and have highlights which now have tuyrned to all over blonde
There iis colour at home called colour mask, [about £5] which you mix in a small bowl provided,the colour i tried was pearl, which was lovely, but it literally was a pearl colour,silvery grey/white, but i didnt want it so white
I would have a look at this of you want to try again at home
My daughter thought it was lovely, it looked very shiny too

It looks fine, Maw.
Your photo looks just as I imagined you.
I wish we'd been able to meet up when I was staying near you. I'm up at the other end of the country now.

Well, I feel like Shorn Shaun the Sheep
'Not too much off' said I
Did she listen?
Apparently not.

You look lovely although I realise the hair debacle was a month ago so it's probably all grown out now

It looks good!!

At least it has some light about it - mine is so very dark - I am still contemplating the pink streaks!

For what it's worth I think you look stunning . I have been colouring my hair for years, it's still dark and I'm wavering about going " natural" ie grey. However its the growing out phase that really puts me off, if I could just waken up and be grey it would be great. !!

I am reasonably, if not very, certain that she does not know anybody on GN tassie

I wonder Maw that you are not concerned about your privacy when you post a picture of yourself? When you posted about your neighbour who was taking you for granted re lifts etc, (and I agree that she was out of order) I was thinking that someone who recognised you would have told her about your post!

You look lovely!

I have a friend who pays a fortune to get her hair to look like yours!

My hairdresser is attempting to undo the lowlight debacle this afternoon.
Perhaps fortunately I had not managed to reach the back which is still dark.
Perhaps I will feel better after that.
But not sure if I will use her again after this though and I am wondering how on Earth I didn’t realise while I was still sitting in the chair ?

I also think it looks great. I wouldn't put a colour on mine if it looked like that. Mine's a mixture of dark and light so I colour it. If it was like yours I'd definitely leave it, save me a fortune at hairdressers!

It looks great. You look great.

I think the colour looks great.
It has more depth than just an all over pastel colour.

I well know The feeling Maw (have been there and paid the price) and I know lessons have been learned, though certainly giving you much angst along the way,your poor scalp probably wonders what the heck is going on, and of course your purse is considerable lighter................However consider yourself lucky because as everyone has said...........it certainly looks fine........so no more fretting,go and enjoy your "do" without a backward glance.

My hair sometimes goes really dry and coarse/straw like when I have coloured it. So I occasionally put coconut oil on it at night, and sleep on an old pillow. I shampoo well next morning, and it makes it really shiny, soft and healthy looking.

I think it looks great.

Well you are wiser than I Glamamamma!
Got away with it but never again! It does seem to have lost a lot of body though (hardly surprising!)

Maw I think your hair looks great such a great cut also,I wish I had the courage to have colour on mine I am too much of a coward in case it went wrong and I didn't like it.

Oh Riverwalk, the vision of loveliness you conjured up did make laugh. I do sympathise though, a hair disaster can be so unsettling. Thank goodness you have a sense of humour.

I use Provoke Touch of silver shampoo from Superdrug. You shampo your hair, leave for 5 minutes and rinse. It gives a lovely effect and it's really cheap. I use it twice a week and I recommend it.

You look lovely but I feel your pain Maw!

A few months back I was feeling bored with my side-fringe, layered bob which I'd sort of had for years, with various highlights and root tints along the way.

"Do you know Helen Mirren?" I fatefully asked my young hairdresser. She got out her phone and we found the style I had in mind (Mirren at her most gorgeous at the Oscars).

Needless to say I look nothing like her and even less so with my new hair-do, more like the love-child of Pru Leith & Pat Butcher. And sod's law, my hair which usually grows like grass has gone on a go slow and barely grown an inch.

Just had a permanant colour put on at hairdressers,also suffering that need to enliven the silver,similar style and colour to your Maw,mine is called copper Rose and only colours the grey,it is a soft metallic pink and gives a warmer effect than the silver,the darker hair with silver highlights is now metallic pink highlights,is a permanant colour that will fade over 8 weeks or so.I also use the touch of silver shampoo.The colour and cut and dry cost me £20,which I felt was good,but different colour means looking for a new style,I loved my inverted bob which used to have blonde highlights,warm low lowlights,and chestnut under cut ...it may need to return,if I can stand the growing part of it

It looks lovely. All praise to you for going for it in the first place. All I do is talk about it!

You look fine. Don't worry! Enjoy the family "do".

It looks lovely maw, no one will guess the traumas you’ve been through. Put us down to experience and enjoy Monday’s do with confidence. x
