Head scarf type thing?

Not so far! My hair is grey all over and thick so don't have this problem BUT it will soon need a cut and so I shall be looking for solutions! I am going to search the beauty bloggers and see what they come up with. I think we are going to have to be very inventive. Perhaps Gransnetters en masse can come up with ideas?

Are you able to go out? Why not buy a box dye and do your roots? Otherwise, perhaps order a dye or scarf online (Amazon?)

No idea if link will work but these are some good ideas. I have a few of the “buff” or “bandanna”. Things that I use to keep ears/head warm playing tennis in winter. They are very adaptable.

I always do my own roots as I could never afford to have them done at the hairdressers...I hate going anyway.

Quite easy to do the front and sides and I just kind of guess the back (I can’t see the back anyway) . Why not order one for delivery if you can’t get out Greymar? One word of warning though always go a shade lighter than you think you need. Good luck

Greymar, my hair also is poor and thin. Its also dry and I would not like to be without Vitapointe applied liberally but not to the pointe of greasiness.
Since my hair became thin I prefer it short club cut, not layered, to give as much bulk as possible

I am awaiting dye. I quite fancy a sort of Carmen Miranda arrangement or a sassy red spotted neckerchief or even a bit of cultural appropriation.

I know in reality, it won't happen.

Greymar did you look at the ones I suggested? There are lots of YouTube videos of how to wear them

Wow, there are some nice ones there Lucca, thanks

This is a good deal for a headscarf. I used to wear them and found them very glamorous but I stopped for fear of looking vulgar. I might start wearing them again as they can look very glamorous when a particularly nice one is styled properly. Even a normal scarf placed on the head, crossed under the chin and wrapped around the neck so the ends meet at the front and tied would work.
I always wear red lipstick (and sometimes sunglasses) with mine for an Audrey Hepburn/Grace Kelly look.

My hair since the lock down has grown so much it's at my shoulders, I tie it back in a low pony tail as don't know what to do with it. It always looks neat, but unfortunately I have a very jowly neck which suddenly decided to appear. I can't put eye make up on because of an eye infection, so look awful. The first thing I will do when this us over, after hugging everyone is get my hair done to chin length.

I ve got fairly thick blonde /white short choppy hair Well let’s say it’s more choppy now as every time I see a bit out of place out come the scissors haha I m told it still looks ok perhaps people are just being kind

IF I go out, which I haven't been, I shall be folding one of those cotton squares diagonally, until it's a long strip about 2" wide, and tying it round my head to cover the roots, tying it at the nape, like a headband. That will also give it some semblance of order, I hope. It's too hot here for a full headscarf.

Perhaps a Carmen Miranda type turban might be fashionable.

Tried a bandanna/headscarf but looked more Mrs Overall than Carmen Miranda. I’m sure others on here are more glamorous!

Glamarous! Im not! loll I wear a straw hat to go walking a thick hair band to cover my roots and wear it in a pony tail at work!

what about a hijab?

Something like this ?

I know it says chemo cap but it doesn't have to be.

FlyingHandbag. Thanks. These look to be the sort of thing I need to cover my hair, which is awful after no hairdresser for ages.

You can buy Root Touch Up from Amazon rather than a hat!

I can never keep headbands on my head.
I like to think it's because of my petite cranium.

was carmen miranda the lady who carried her fruit bowl on her head, now there's an idea in these straightened times, and if it doesn't work i'll eat my hat.
