You all are WAY too kind! I would never have done this if not for the many women here whose silver hair inspired me.
And yes, my stylist is a genius in giving my hair just what it needs. If she ever moves I will need to move with her. She's not even that expensive (although it IS Alaska). All props go to her!
Nebraskim, how clever of you to figure out the sun-fading issue. I would never have thought it a concern in my climate.
