Nothing wrong with grey hair. Its much easier for a blonde to go grey gracefully as the transistion is not so noticeable. I had my grey hair half grown out when I had some event (probably my 50th) that I really had to cover up the half and half otherwise I would be forever haunted by the bad hair photo's. Just haven't found it easy after that to grow it out. For some reason the decision to grow it out affected other people more than it affected me. I wish I could grow it out to a point and then just get my hair cut into a short style, but I don't think a short hairstyle would suit me   :-))

More first world problems eh CP?

I  am lucky with short hair and my hair was sort of light brown .......I think .

My mother had black hair and I can see a problem there letting it grow out. You would have to goi to hiding for about a year I think.

Nothing worse  to see than that unintentional two tone hair. ;D

You never know until you try a short haircut CP and the best part is that it will grow back to the length you prefer in no time.  You are right though, it is far easier with light hair.
 
I've only ever had streaks as I am not one to go to the hairdresser every 6 weeks for root touch ups or hair trims.  Hairdressers would go out of business if they depended on me being one of their regulars. When my hair gets too hard to manage is the time I see my hairdresser.  After my last streaks the husband of one of my friends asked if I'd had a grey rinse put through my hair so I decided to go grey gracefully as my own hair hasn't as much grey in it as what the treatment gave me. Who would pay to go grey when nature will take it's course free of charge  ;D

I'm letting the greys come in for now (luckily only a few at this stage).  I can't part my hair in one particular part as it's really noticeable, but otherwise leaving it be.  I know I'd not keep the colour up often enough.  I had highlights done many years ago and loved the look, but was too lazy and cheap to keep it going. 

I just bought 2 photo albums to try and sort out the stacks of photos I have stuffed in a drawer :)

I'm a bits and pieces grey. My fringe is completely grey but the rest is still dark. I used to have it coloured but then a friend paid to have her fringe coloured grey and I thought what the heck.
Neither of my parents went grey ( apart from Dads front) so I don't know if I have much chance. I was surprised at the school re union I went to, some were grey and coloured it, one was beautifully grey, but everyone except one had quite short hair.

Congratulations Hally. I'm loving the food photos from the air fryer thread, but I'm still resisting, hope you enjoy your new toy.

I popped into Target on my way home and picked up a 20cm square baking tin, together with a trivet it fits perfectly on the botton of the AF.
I got a fryer basket with my 5 in 1, i put a handful of spinach leaves in the basket and the the fryer basket upside down on top. This is how i will try kale chips, crispy within a ouple of minutes. I would post a photo however tapatalk isnt working for me.
