Somewhere along the way I figured that my long blondey hair made my skinny face look even more drawn. <br />I stopped colouring the grey.. yes, grey - not silver, about 2 years ago. It looks more like 'me' now that I'm in my mid 50's. I have a girlfriend same age who colours her long straight hair BLACK.

I have grey hair around my face, and my hairdresser has at last stopped trying to talk me into a colour, and now exclaims "I like your hair like this!". I agree that grey hair looks more 'right' with older skin tones,. I hate to see older women with very dark dyed hair - I think it ages them terribly.earthmotherwithinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506831989357088817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492903313028603031.post-7880105297370233832011-07-19T12:53:30.829+10:002011-07-19T12:53:30.829+10:00Hi Mim , great post, a few years ago I said to my ...Hi Mim , great post, a few years ago I said to my friend Deb, I'm going to go grey , she was horrified and said no, you'll look too old, great friend, yes she really is!the last 14 months after being so sick I really couldn't care how I looked , I had a crew cut because I was just so fatigued to even wash my hair, its shoulder length again, it wasn't a great idea to have a crew cut during the winter months my neck and ears were freezing. So I haven't coloured my hair for a few years now. I'm getting more and more silver,and I think I like it, some days I do and other days not to sure, I have boxes of natural hair colouring in my bathroom cupboard, but need to feel better before considering to colour my hair, when I wash my hair it looks really dark still and I think its not so bad, I hate the salt and pepper look I always vowed I would colour my hair until it was all grey I mean silver, silver sounds so much better as I approach my silver years, I'll be 49 in December. So I'm still on the fence so to speak, I have olive complexion so I think I will carry it well. I THINK I WILL. I THINK I WILL... in saying that I don't want to look old before I'm old...food for thought.

I have shoulder length hair with a fringe and my colour is NICE AND EASY NATURAL BURGUNDY BROWN lol. At the first sight of a few greys sprouting through it's of to the shops I go for another box of colour (once a month). Not looking to be mutton done up as lamb but grey and my skin tone/colouring make me look old before my time. You are fairer than me so no doubt will pull this look off a real treat.Kimmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12284838618731232851noreply@blogger.com
