So this is all speculative, on my part, for now. But I've been loving the way alaskagirl's hair has been growing in.

I haven't been around much recently, but in the few posts of yours I've seen you seem to have a black-centric wardrobe -- going white on top would still add drama (particularly with the fun haircut), and would certainly bring further attention to your face when you're in a mostly-black outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-blackbluegrey-ombre-hair-work#post-1448170 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 20:07:41 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1448170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My daughter, who is 15, has an ombre look on below shoulder length hair. She wanted to have purple and I told her she could try it but that it had to look acceptable as it grew out, so she did the ends.&nbsp;She has dark brown hair. The stylist bleached about the bottom 1/3 of the ends, but not in a straight across pattern, but up and down, kind of organic looking. Then he put a purple stain&nbsp;over the bleached-white parts. That was around Thanksgiving. It faded down to lavender. Now the treated part of her hair is a combination of pale lavender, grey and white/blond. It has looked good throughout. I think that method could also work for you. I have some older pix, but not one of the faded look.</p> <p>Also, I was looking at Nick the stylist's pictures and here is a wild color one that could be fab, on almost your same hair cut (scroll down):&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.bangstyle.com/users/Nicholas%20Sansone-86709">https://www.bangstyle.com/user.....sone-86709</a></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-blackbluegrey-ombre-hair-work#post-1448155 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 19:51:48 +0000 AM 1448155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thinking you could really pull this off. You have those nice darks and lights in your appearance -- and this is a very spicy move. And you are a very spicy lady. I think having a great colorist is key but as you said, you can always wipe away the entire experiment with going back to black.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-blackbluegrey-ombre-hair-work#post-1448126 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 19:25:27 +0000 CocoLion 1448126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see -- a blue-black-blue pattern. &nbsp;Then going to white - blue. &nbsp;Then white. &nbsp;I love that there is a plan! &nbsp;As far as whether it's too striped looking, that is subjective. &nbsp;I think getting the ratio of blue-black-blue right is key. If it came off too harsh, with too much of a striped horizontal band around your skull, you could add some blue streaks so it's more punk and less geometric.</p> <p>I hear you on the pixie issue. &nbsp;I have a very small head and don't feel ok with a pixie. &nbsp;Pinhead. &nbsp;I love a bob like yours.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-blackbluegrey-ombre-hair-work#post-1448112 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 19:07:34 +0000 old chic 1448112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coco, at first it would be blackish with dark blue roots. As it grew in, I'd have about an inch and a half of the blue ombred into the black ends and the white root, then I'd let the colors grow out (renewing the inch or two of ombred blue as necessary), so that I'd gradually be cutting off the dark ends. Eventually, I'd have the white with just the blue ends and then have all white when I cut the blue off -- keeping the cut at about the same length throughout the process. Too stripe-y? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-blackbluegrey-ombre-hair-work#post-1448109 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 19:05:54 +0000 Anonymous 1448109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think of ombre hair as kind of a new classic so it's not going to be passe for me, and I LOVE this idea, it's a&nbsp;brilliant, novel, trailblazer&nbsp;solution. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-blackbluegrey-ombre-hair-work#post-1448098 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 18:58:21 +0000 CocoLion 1448098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is your avatar your current cut? &nbsp;So you're thinking it would be silver/gray at the roots for (fill in the blank) number of inches. &nbsp;Then there would be (fill in the blank color), with black tips at the end of the cut. &nbsp;</p> <p>Can you confirm if this description is correct, also fill in the blanks so I can better visualize. &nbsp;Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-blackbluegrey-ombre-hair-work#post-1448068 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 18:09:13 +0000 old chic 1448068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="https://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view;_ylt=A0LEVvqvWu9UbWUAsnEnnIlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTB0ZjNuMHJ1BHNlYwNzYwRjb2xvA2JmMQR2dGlkA1lIUzAwM18x?p=blue+black+and+grey+ombre+hair&amp;back=https%3A%2F%2Fsearch.yahoo.com%2Fyhs%2Fsearch%3Fp%3Dblue%2Bblack%2Band%2Bgrey%2Bombre%2Bhair%26ei%3DUTF-8%26hsimp%3Dyhs-001%26hspart%3Dmozilla&amp;w=600&amp;h=400&amp;imgurl=media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com%2F736x%2Fb4%2Fd7%2F1e%2Fb4d71e724fa0e7dbac8053d5446706f7.jpg&amp;size=21KB&amp;name=b4d71e724fa0e7dbac8053d5446706f7.jpg&amp;rcurl=http%3A%2F%2Fpinterest.com%2Fpin%2F1477812350413036%2F&amp;rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fpinterest.com%2Fpin%2F1477812350413036%2F&amp;type=&amp;no=6&amp;tt=120&amp;oid=c9d6b40c6fede6dbc63fde7aaeacd912&amp;tit=Found+on+mariankihogo.com&amp;sigr=11av8ctn6&amp;sigi=12dvp3rss&amp;sign=114ki7p62&amp;sigt=103vg5ole&amp;sigb=13as4rslt&amp;fr=yhs-mozilla-001&amp;hspart=mozilla&amp;hsimp=yhs-001" rel="nofollow">https://images.search.yahoo.co.....uMHJ1BHNlY</a></p> <p>So, here's another challenge for the fabulously greying and silver foxes here. <br />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. </p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>And if I hated it, I could just recolor it all in single process or cut the pixie on the white part.</p> <p>So what do you think? </p>
