I remember convincing my younger daughter she was crazy to pay whatever it was at the time, to have a bikini wax. So we bought wax and we did it ourselves, on her of course.
Got the wax on, ripped the first bit and she chickened and OMG it was so funny!!! Need I add, she doesn't think it was funny to this day but I crack up everytime I think about it!!!
What it is to be a woman! I can't even begin to think of my son in such circumstances lol
I used to think I would allow myself to go gray because I think gray hair looks fine and people shouldn't worry about it and just let their hair be the color it is. But then when I actually started getting more and more gray in my brown hair so that it started to be noticable I wimped out and started dyeing it because it was making me feel old. I eventually settled with a blond perm. I think that was a couple of years back. I'm still fake blond at 38 and from my roots and the lighter shade of blond I get I think there is a lot of gray underneath now. Unfortunately the more people that do this like me, the more unusual it is to see gray hair on women. But I agree not to let it bother you! I still think gray hair or gray mixed in with other colors looks fine and when I see someone with gray hair I kind of admire it because it isn't fake. Maybe when I get older I'll quit dyeing my hair. For now though I dye my hair and blame my kids for all my gray!

My Mum was a redhead - a real beautiful auburn - she was most indignant when it went all "pepper and salt" as she called it, but she died a redhead by various means!

Yes, I have a great aunt that was the same way. I wasn't sure if it was
*all* redheads or she was just lucky! LOL That's it - going blonde. I had someone describe my hair color as strawberry blonde the other day. LOL - when I was a child, I would have loved that description! Now I wish I had my flaming red back!

Hmm, the true red-heads I know went from flaming red to brown-red! Grandma was a carrot top whose hair went auburn in her forties, Aunt Dorothy went brown in her early teens, and Micheal is still very red (late teens). So I guess you either go blond or brown.
How odd! I had never heard of anyone going from red to brown! I guess redheads are about as varied as people can get :) Kim

Yep, this redhead has gone from a copper/auburn to a brown/red with some gray threads, but with a little help from the hairdresser she's gone back to copper/auburn with no gray threads :)
take care, Linda
P.S. but my brother went from a red/blonde to blonde with silver threads.
