So, here's another challenge for the fabulously greying and silver foxes here.
My original hair color was a dark chestnut brown, but now it is an indeterminate combination of salt and pepper. By now, after 25 years since the first greys appeared, I imagine that it looks like very dirty snow. But I actually don't know because I keep it colored shiny, almost-black. This looks pretty good, because it complements my overall pale coloring, blue eyes and fondness for bright red or hot pink lipstick. And my edgy cut goes well with my dramatic clothing style.

HOWEVER, I have been asking my stylist for several years now how I could transition to natural. His opinion is that only all black or all white would really suit my style, and I think I agree with him on that. Of course, the dark hair dye, even though it's a demi, cannot be processed out of my hair. His solution is to wait until all the roots are white, grow it out just a bit and then cut a cool short pixie. I do like pixies and have worn them often, but I am rather on the big and dumpy side to wear one at this point in my life. Besides, it's taken me a year to grow out my last pixie into a short, geometric bob, which I am really enjoying. At 65, I am stingy with my years and don't really want to spend another year with a style that makes me uncomfortable.

So, I was thinking maybe we could do something like grow out some white roots and ombre a color (perhaps a cobalt) onto them between the black and white and then let it go all white above as it grows out. I couldn't figure out how to grab the picture I linked above, but I think the link works. Even though I know the whole ombre thing may be passe now, I just love this girl's look. Of course, it's a problem that she's a girl and I am an old lady and don't have nearly as nice features as she. But I am crazy enough to do something dramatic when the time comes. Crazy doesn't embarrass me; boring does.

And if I hated it, I could just recolor it all in single process or cut the pixie on the white part.

So what do you think?
