Linda, I don't mind my grey hair so much. It's silvery and would probably be quite striking if I let it all grow out since it does frame my face. My dad greyed prematurely. He was 100% white by the time he was 55 or so. I seem to take after one of his sisters who greyed in the same pattern I'm following.
I must say, though, that going blonde was fun (except for the expense). The gal I've been going to for years picked a good base color to start with and then added the weave/highlights on top. Except for my dark brows, you'd think it was my natural color!
So I'm now sitting here with the smelly, awful color #1 (no developer) and waiting my 20 minutes as directed. Then I'm supposed to blot it with paper towels and apply color #2 WITH the developer AND 1/4 cup of shampoo and check it every 5 minutes for a max of 20 minutes. With any luck, in 30 minutes or so, I'll be restored to the goddess I was before I got into this mess!
