Is this thread revival a sign from above? I have to go an extra week between appts (7 vs 6) because the stylist who does my cut/color is out of town. Yesterday, I noticed how much more sparkling white is in my hair, now that I can see more of the regrowth, and I thought it might time to let it go natural. I am very very lucky---both parents had gorgeous sparkling white grey, so genetics blessed me w/the same. I turned 48 in February. There's a woman in my office in her 70s who dyes her hair red (actually, she goes to a salon, I was shocked to learn). It's the most improbable color and when it fades, well, you get the picture. Since my chosen color is red, I get frightened that I might end up sportin' that look as I get even more white strands.

Unfortunately, I don't have the face for super short hair, so the growing out period is going to be very rough. Maybe I'll get a wig.

I also don't think the stylist will agree that it's time because I still have a good bit of my natural color left. Maybe we can do highlights as it grows out or something? I can't wait until it's 90-100% white.

I refuse to say GREY. It's not GREY, it's white.
