It looks great on you. </p> <p>Short hair is a great way to transition. I would have done it that way if hubby wasn't 100% against short hair. It took me a year to transition! It was still worth it but it felt like forever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-transition-update/page/2#post-1692575 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 18:12:59 +0000 unfrumped 1692575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still love the pixie!<br /> I do like it grown out a little because I think it's divine to show a bit more hair and texture, and have enough to have the " pixie points" made possible by a few different lengths in the cut. But if seems like a forgiving style, which is good if life is busy and one missed a week or so at the hair dresser. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-transition-update/page/2#post-1692537 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 16:53:52 +0000 RobinF 1692537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great, so inspiring. The piece-y-ness of it made me think of the discussion a few weeks back about how to keep short hair modern looking instead of old looking. I definitely think your stylist has this down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-transition-update/page/2#post-1692530 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 16:44:20 +0000 Laurie 1692530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mia Farrow circa early 70's! &nbsp;Love your hair and your boldness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-transition-update/page/2#post-1692378 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 09:16:56 +0000 Summer 1692378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely, Suz.&nbsp; Isn't it satisfying when the last of the artificial colour hits the salon floor? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-transition-update/page/2#post-1692369 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 08:03:32 +0000 Astrid 1692369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally awesome!

Just love them on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-transition-update/page/2#post-1692316 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 02:50:16 +0000 Suz 1692316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh, it's cheaper? Oy! I will have to call them too...grrrr.&nbsp;</p> <p>Can't wait for you to "twin" me!!! You will look great in this top.&nbsp;</p> <p>The neckline's on the low side for me but the armholes are neat and close to the body and the neck stays put, so it just passes muster and is a nice change for me. Being a few pounds up is really good in terms of giving me a few more options for tops. Silver lining in every cloud (or on every head, depending how you look at it!)&nbsp; </p> <p>ETA -- you can see the top on me properly in my WIW thanks to LisaP thread. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-transition-update/page/2#post-1692312 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 02:18:10 +0000 Elizabeth P 1692312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks fabulous Suz! Great to have those last dyed ends gone, isn't it. </p> <p>So, I take it you are happy with the neckline on the kensie top and are keeping it? Mine came on Friday, and I love it. Although I see it's even cheaper now, so hoping the bay will price match, otherwise I'm ordering another one :). </p> <p>I also have those earrings, and got my hair cut quite a bit shorter (although keeping the assymetrical longer side swoop), so I could really "twin" you with this look! </p> <p>And adding another "Aliona, show us your hair" plea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-transition-update/page/2#post-1692296 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 01:16:54 +0000 Suz 1692296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, <b>Susan</b> (lovely name, by the way! Of course I would think that, ha!) -- those are words of wisdom, and thank you for the kind compliments. I think your idea about juxtapositions is very true.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-transition-update/page/2#post-1692289 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 00:37:34 +0000 Anonymous 1692289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The power of social media! I'm also a big fan of very short pixie styles. You look great and your words have given me confidence to stick with a very similar style to yours. Something I like about it is challenging the (mis)preconception that quite short hair is less feminine , physically I'm a long way from an 'Audrey Hepburn' type but I refuse to be limited by that , and enjoy making an effort in the way I present myself every day. I'm probably out of my depth but isn't there something about successfully choosing 2 out of 3 wants. By keeping my hair 'minimal' I feel I can indulge my love of fashion and jewellery (and makeup), without the impression of too much going on, and 'own' my look happily. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-transition-update/page/2#post-1692273 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 23:44:46 +0000 Suz 1692273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Aliona!!</b>!

I love, love, love this cut on you (so much that I copycatted 2 weeks ago). I agree, short hair is brilliant in summer. </p> <p>I am particularly impressed with how precise your stylist was in matching the first cut exactly. Mine is not good at this and I always end up not loving a style after the second cut. So, you have a real treasure there :)</p> <p>Love what RoseandJoan says about the power of making grey a choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-transition-update/page/2#post-1692105 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 13:22:08 +0000 marianna 1692105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just perfect. <i>So</i> lovely on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-transition-update/page/2#post-1692104 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 13:18:57 +0000 Suz 1692104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jules, it is true. I think for me, going in one fell swoop felt fun. For so many years, hairdressers had been saying I should keep highlighting, I didn't have "enough" grey, it would just look dull and mousy, etc. etc. But I instinctively knew at some point that they were mistaken, that underneath the dyed and highlighted hair there was something different going on. But even two years ago that was not as clear.&nbsp;</p> <p>Making a quick switch like this is really just like dyeing to any other colour or a drastic haircut of any kind. Sometimes it's the style shakeup a person craves.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think transitioning slowly without ever dying can be equally powerful -- it just depends on one's hair and personality.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-transition-update/page/2#post-1692068 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 11:38:02 +0000 RoseandJoan 1692068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How great that you feel bold with your new natural colour.</p> <p>The message I am taking away from the various ladies who have made the grey transition is there's a huge amount of power in going grey at a pace a time which suits the individual.</p> <p>When grey is a choice you eliminate any negative associations.</p> <p>Suz, you really do rock your new do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-transition-update/page/2#post-1692053 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 11:15:50 +0000 skylurker 1692053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a high forehead too, and I've worn bangs for a long time, until I got eyeglasses and felt too much of my face was under cover.<br /> So that's another thing to consider : if you wear glasses regularly, shorter hair might be better.<br /> Yeah I know I'm only making things more complicated here and not being helpful </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-transition-update/page/2#post-1692018 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 10:14:36 +0000 Suz 1692018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Isabelle,</b> yes, I agree -- I have a high forehead and so I usually wear longer bangs to help disguise it. I think it is more conventionally flattering to do so. But I also enjoy the JFE effect of displaying a "not conventionally good" feature and even celebrating it. I appreciate the feedback absolutely! I will likely grow the front a little bit as fall arrives.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-transition-update/page/2#post-1692012 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 10:00:57 +0000 Nishaa 1692012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>very inspiring, I'm goin to walk down your road sooner or later.
