Thought I'd post here to ask a question that's been a 'hot topic' among friends lately. There has been some media stuff about women deciding to stop coloring their hair (or NEVER coloring it), and 'transitioning to gray.' One woman said she had spent at least $65,000 on hair coloring trips to the beauty salon.
So, ladies of this newsgroup -- have any of you 'transitioned' to gray? How did you do it? What was it like? I've decided to stop supporting my colorist, and will 'transition' to my growing-in silver. My colorist refused to help me, so I went to someone else who said, "let's do a full foil, very light, and the gray growing in will be less noticeable."
This will probably have to be done every three months, instead of coloring and highlighting every month (with the gray showing after
2-1/2 to 3 weeks! and necessitating a headband or creative comb-overs to hide it).If you aren't gray yet, do you know anyone who has done this?
Would love to hear comments on this OT topic. You can respond here, or to me personally. Thanks!
