It's silver, thank you very much!
Note to self: place drug order through semaphore, smoke signals, tin cans tied with string, or other non-phone device. This news of course, comes less than a year after Yahoo! gave away everyone's search information without a warrant and without telling anyone. Then Google fought it, but basically did the same thing. Egads, I can remember when other countries were jealous of all the rights we Americans enjoy. Or maybe they weren't. After all, I learned that in school and a whole bunch of school-taught lessons turned out to be utter bullshit.
Moving on, am I correct in thinking that a hair dresser should never, EVER comment on how much gray hair someone has? I walked out without bothering to get my haircut, so pissed was I that the woman laughed and suggested a dye job. I stopped coloring my hair a few months ago for the express purpose of finding out how much gray hair I have naturally. And in truth, I was thinking about coloring it again. While I don't have as much gray now as I did when I was 17 (I was a stressed out teenager), I do have some. Come to think of it, H has way more gray than me and he's 4 years younger. Anyway, I had to Email a mean Email to this elusive "Sam" letting him know that his staff is something less than "Fantastic."
Now I totally don't want to color my hair just to be defiant. I'm 35, which seemed pretty old to me when I was a tiny kid. So it's normal and natural to have a few grays. I do feel it's pretty vain to get all weird about a few gray (or silver, in my case--they are very shiny) hairs. At least I'm not going bald. Hahahahaa! That would suck. But I would look younger, and presumably cuter if I colored. I can't really decide. I feel sort of old to go for unnatural burgundies or high-lites, but like I said, I feel vain and high maintenance coloring specifically to banish the gray.
So please, share your hair color philosophies with me.
In scribing news, I was trying to do 3K between 12:01 and 11:59 on the 13th, but I only got halfway there. I do plan to finish Chapter Six before I go to bed and maybe get a good bite into Chapter Seven. But only after i enjoy the white trash meal of Koegels franks wrapped in cheese and Pillsbury Crescents.
Oh yeah, and H's mom loved the gift we sent her. It was an assortment of paints that set us back about $50. Yeah, apparently she paints and as she put it, she'll "be a paintin' fool" now that she is stocked up with paints. I guess I'm just lucky that writing is not nearly so expensive, my passion for fine red pens and flourscent high-liters not withstanding. ;-}

Incorrect. Things like that are their job, they're just supposed to do it in a nice way.
'At least I'm not going bald. Hahahahaa! That would suck.'

That's a damn fine philosophy.

If I had gone in for a color, I would expect someone to mention gray or gray coverage. But I was there for a trim, since the cut I gave myself was a bit uneven. She was trying to upsell me to a dye job by making me feel bad about how my hair looked, IMO. And that pissed me right off.
no subject
yeah, you totally should! ;-}
If I did decide to color, I would probably stick pretty close to a brighter version of my natural shade. I do enjoy the red/browns though...

I started going grey at 14 due to low thyroid, so dying is just a part of living as far as I'm concerned.
"I had to Email a mean Email to this elusive 'Sam' letting him know that his staff is something less than 'Fantastic.'" - Oh, you're a hoot.

I think I need to reach a mental space where I can dye without the guilt of conforming to some wierd societal construct. After all, picking a new hair color is a lot of fun.
no subject
But it's all self-expression. How you want to express yourself with your hair is your deal. Society can get stuffed, either way.
no subject
i too, have the silver hair.
my suggestion to you.... do the hair dye that is for gray hair. it comes in many pretty shades of brown and its very subtle.

That's a good suggestion though. I'd been convincing myself that I was coloring it my "natural" color. I was kidding myself!

But Cover Girl would never use, say, my great-grandmother as a freaksilver model; no, they've found or digitally manipulated a lady of impressive youth and stunning beauty (so I have been told) who happens to have bitchin' freaksilver hair.

Well...
That's not true. I would probably just not tip, and not go there again.

First, I felt like she was saying my hair looked like crap, or I was really old looking. But even when I realized she was just trying to upsell me by making me feel bad--I was super, super pissed. Not only did I not want to give her $50 for color (especially when I can buy it at the store for like $12) I didn't want to give her $15 for a cut.
