I'm one of those women who is balding and it's quite embarassing. I actually look better WITH a helmet to cover my bald spot. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...aryjerseyb.jpghttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...suitbikebc.jpg I also had very baby fine blond hair when I was much younger and as I aged it went mousy ash blonde. When these photos were taken, I'd been coloring my hair with a red I fell in love with, but upkeep was a pain AND between the coloring (did my own) and sun FRIED the hair that was/is exposed to the sun and now it matts unless I put it up UNDER the helmet in a dewrag.
I've stopped coloring my hair again and it's getting quite long down to the middle of my back again, and the silver/grey is starting to show big time (just in the last couple years has it started) Of course if it meant I could/would have a FULL head of hair, I would gladly deal with silver/grey

I have done it all. Now I have plain shoulder length hair. In college I had dreads, not sure how white people with thin hair do it. But only 2 ways to go with black thick hair. Either the true rasta way, wash, beeswax and no comb for years. Or separate, twist, tease, and bond with bees wax all in an alternating fashion. And these are only removable by cutting. I dyed my dreads light red and they were gorgeous.
I cut all my hair off into a caeser style crop cut. The German guys all loved it. They would come up to me and ask, what country are you from and were surprised when I said US. They thought I was african. So they left, LOL. They love african women, despise american, haha. Now, due to my Military Career as an Officer if your boss doesn't like it, he'll just tell you to cut it and that is it, so I just stay nuetral for now.
But I will not let my hair, dress, or career define my womenhood.... So do what pleases you. If you are a true and real person, a proven producer in your field, people will make a wise choice when interacting with you. Think on it, meditate a bit, and go with your spirit.
