I don't quite get the difference between grey hairs and grey hair?

Grey hairs.....

A few, then a cluster, or a scattering, a peppering....a gradual takeover.


Grey hair......my hair is losing pigment evenly, (its not grey its going dark, and colder, 'ashy'. Hairdresser thinks this might progress and one day, he cannot say when......I Will have grey roots, pretty evenly, all over. 'Her hair went white overnight' sort of thing.


(This is important because I don't want to change the base colour of my hair overnight ......I went lighter today in my mid tone. My lightest tone is pearly any way, and we dropped the amount of mocha I normally put through. I liked my tortoiseshell hair. I know it wasn't that fashionable but it was me.


Now I feel a bit.....hmmm. Too tasteful. The gold has dropped out quite a lot. This is probably the darkest I will ever get to be again. :eek:

If the idea is that no one notices you are going grey, you die it back to your original colour - as I have been doing for years.

Some of us pay a fortune to have white hair

The colourful corkscrews are wonderful. It looks like it would cost a fortune in the salon or take an age at home. And then the colour would fall out within a week. It would be worth it if it lasted a few weeks.

Talking of Helen Mirren's hair, did you see when she did this? She rocks :cool:

My very dark hair grew a grey streak at the front from my early 30s (my father had the same). It has then has greyed from there. So quite light now.

Grey is the new blonde. Well it is as close to blonde as I am going to get.

Cannot remember what that is! :rotfl: My roots have gone significantly different ...that's what started the hairdresser off. My temples used to be blonde, looking at the roots there now I'd say...yes, a cold ashy mid brown. That's not me. Haven't been a flat colour ever.

OH has gone out for a Christmas curry with his team.


DD is not yet home.


I am going to be complete slob and go out in search of a kebab van. I may look a bit out of place as I am still dressed for work and will have my cashmere coat on.

I like white and some grey a lot. Its more......I don't feel ready to be grey. I certainly am not ready to be this dark cold colour being offered to me then a sudden change.....I don't want sudden change.


I also have these curls. Grey/white curls can look old witch or candy flossy. I'm just not there yet. My mother's hair took ages to go to white, (where its beautiful) it was a fairly aggressive iron grey for a long time -at the roots. Not a soft dove, or a silver, but a 'I'll hot you with this iron bar iron.....

Pretty sure my hair dresser would fix me up with that dye job on semi permanants if I were white. Wouldn't do now, I'm too dark still. But, when its light I'm going to do that.

Something to look forward too.

600+ years at least, I reckon? Wasn't it during hte 14th century that Dunwich mostly vanished into the North Sea?

Yes, I was indicating more that it's well known in all living memory, rather than being factually correct.

'Everybody' knows all the coasts there are eroding fast and taking proper homes and holiday homes ........

The man it happened to seemed surprised.
