Hair colour

This made me chuckle too... I was hoping for some outrageous advice on birthday entertainment!

My hairdresser recommended Head and Shoulders shampoo when I accidently dyed my hair too dark.

I decided years ago to get back to my natural colour. I did it gradually with the help of my hairdresser by going for fewer and fewer highlights, always leaving some layers of untreated hair in between. This way the transition is really slow and hardly noticeable.

I thought you were planning a stag night or a hen do!

Daughter is a trained hairdresser who specialises in colour and the removal of. When she took out my colour, she made sure she had all sorts of stuff at home in case it didn't 'take' as we hoped. Advice? See the professionals.

Have it done professionally. My hairdresser stripped the colour and then put a few semi permanent streaks in grey to blend in until it grew out. It worked a treat - now free of the tyranny and cost of colouring. Yeh!!

I just kept colouring with a gorgeous metallic silver dye....gradually my hair became that colour. So pleased at being natural now

Thank you for your responses ladies. I think I may well go to the hairdressers and ask them to do it. It sounds safer. And so sorry to disappoint all of you who were expecting to read about a different type of 'stripper' I think I'm way past that sort of thing now

Me too jeanlizzie etc. Phew, thought I was the only one!!!!

My hairdresser recommended that I didn't go for colour stripping as, in her words, "It ruins your hair". I'm just growing it out with currently 2/3rds grey and 1/3 light blond so doesn't look too bad. I'm gonna go for the cut when I'm brave enough

This was an ad for collagen that appeared onscreen today and I thought the presenter's hairstyle might interest those of you who favour short hair.
It certainly looks easy to care for.

I think I'd go and see a hairdresser for proper advice - you may think the roots are grey but it might only be the front which is where mine is. I've had my hair all shades for years but decided to have it lightened considerably a few years ago to disguise the grey roots and reduce the number of trips to have it coloured. She shows me the back which is still quite dark so letting it grow out wouldn't really work. I love the new metallic grey colours now available and asked about having it done that way but she advised against it as it wouldn't suit my complexion.

Stripping your hair could ruin it and if it's long like mine would take a lot of doing. Seek professional advice.

Male, female or trans?...???
