One is the British spelling and one American - but I don't know which is which! There is an Agatha Christie mystery based on that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunny-and-grey-should-i-keep-going/page/2#post-1447487 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 21:44:17 +0000 viva 1447487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is a woman in my barre class who dyes her hair all-over chestnut, and her full-on gray roots were showing the other day, and I was SO wanting to encourage her to just grow it in! She has a great haircut and her hair is luxurious and thick, and she has beautiful eyes. I know that when she decides to do it, it will look fabulous. Of course, I didn't say anything. But I really believe it will look amazing on her.</p> <p>I have wimpy hair and the wimpiest of straggly grays. It will probably take me forever to go gray -- it's happening in there, with my highlights but at a rate of a few strands a year. </p> <p>I love your hair, and I think your gray is looking pretty amazing. I completely agree with everyone to keep going and give it a try as long as you can. You may absolutely love it -- I expect you will be stunning with the full head. But then again, if you decide to dye it all again, I will be behind you too. It's all about choice.</p> <p>BTW, I think an UWP SHOULD have all gray hair, in an edgy cut. Somehow it fits perfectly with the vibe.</p> <p>PS Is it gray or grey? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunny-and-grey-should-i-keep-going/page/2#post-1447457 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 20:55:40 +0000 Sheila 1447457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A total YAY from me as well !!

Yes, more $$ to spend on clothes!</p> <p>Are you doing any kind of color while you grow it out? My stylist recommended half highlights as a way to make the grey less noticeable.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunny-and-grey-should-i-keep-going/page/2#post-1447326 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 18:03:06 +0000 Elizabeth P 1447326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure if I actually had a post about it specifically, but I had ongoing positive (unsolicited) comments over the year or so it took, in my OOTD posts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunny-and-grey-should-i-keep-going/page/2#post-1447324 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 18:01:08 +0000 Suz 1447324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a YAY! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunny-and-grey-should-i-keep-going/page/2#post-1447318 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 17:55:44 +0000 catgirl 1447318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elizabeth I need to find your post about it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunny-and-grey-should-i-keep-going/page/2#post-1447315 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 17:51:24 +0000 Elizabeth P 1447315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I am so impressed with the responses!&nbsp; I also didn't expect so many on the "keep going" side, although I'm not sure why, because I got&nbsp; nothing but support when I was doing this as well.&nbsp; </p> <p>I vote keep going as well... you're past the&nbsp; hard part, so why not see if you like it.&nbsp; Going back to colour if you don't like it, is easy.&nbsp; Growing it out, isn't.</p> <p>But I think it'll look great on you.&nbsp; Or rather, greyt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunny-and-grey-should-i-keep-going/page/2#post-1447308 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 17:45:55 +0000 catgirl 1447308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh, I love you ladies... Did not expect such a resounding chorus of yes! I am going to ask my stylist to do so etching she has done before where she added a clear conditioning shine to keep it from looking dry, and to add a bit of texture when she trims it up. I'm actually excited to continue this transition - as Angie says, it's a project. Thank you for the support! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunny-and-grey-should-i-keep-going/page/2#post-1447263 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 16:51:43 +0000 Staysfit 1447263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A definite yes, keep the grey! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunny-and-grey-should-i-keep-going/page/2#post-1447260 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 16:39:11 +0000 harmonica 1447260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!

It's almost like having white highlights intentionally, if there is such a thing:-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunny-and-grey-should-i-keep-going/page/2#post-1447088 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 11:09:57 +0000 rute 1447088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I voted yay! you seem to have a lovely grey color and coloring the hair is so annoying! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunny-and-grey-should-i-keep-going#post-1447087 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 11:06:48 +0000 Summer 1447087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would keep going a little longer. &nbsp;It's difficult to make a decision until more of the grey has grown in. &nbsp;The thing is, it certainly doesn't look bad, so the chances are that you will like the final outcome.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunny-and-grey-should-i-keep-going#post-1447086 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 11:03:53 +0000 Jjsloane 1447086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm digging the ombre effect you have now. I agree if you are willing to continue you can always color later. It's really your decision and obviously we'll all back you no matter what you decide.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunny-and-grey-should-i-keep-going#post-1447057 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 09:06:16 +0000 Anonymous 1447057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't mind it at all on you, but you have to feel happy with what you see in the mirror. I do think it would be good to see a whole head of grey as that would give a different vibe and could be fun to work with. As Angie said, you can always colour it again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunny-and-grey-should-i-keep-going#post-1447055 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 08:59:30 +0000 Astrid 1447055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it too! I vote to wait and reassess from time to time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunny-and-grey-should-i-keep-going#post-1447029 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 07:05:07 +0000 qfbrenda 1447029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say keeping going. I think you are a great candidate for gray hair since you have a fantastic haircut. So far I think it looks wonderful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunny-and-grey-should-i-keep-going#post-1447014 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 05:36:41 +0000 Echo 1447014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems to be growing really fast, and you have enough grey/white to make it interesting. I say if you have gone this far, see it through. I also don't think that with your style and hairstyle that streaks or overall greying will make you look older. I think it will look fantastic when it grows out completely. And, as always, if you don't like it or get tired of it, it's only hair. You can change it back anytime you want to, but you already know what that looks like. I'd wait to see something new if I were you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunny-and-grey-should-i-keep-going#post-1447010 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 04:54:08 +0000 Adelfa 1447010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It will also add gravitas to your look, which in some form is important in your profession.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunny-and-grey-should-i-keep-going#post-1447009 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 04:53:34 +0000 Adelfa 1447009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was pretty much prepared to tell you, very gently, to color it. But what I can see looks amazing. The combination of your hair texture, your cut, your styling, the particular color of white with the particular color of black--it all looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunny-and-grey-should-i-keep-going#post-1447007 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 04:45:16 +0000 Aziraphale 1447007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! Keep going. It's going to look amazing against your skin tone.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunny-and-grey-should-i-keep-going#post-1446997 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 04:31:43 +0000 kellygirl 1446997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope mine looks as cool as yours.
