The Salt & Pepper Thread!

Thanks MimiKeki! I can't speak for everyone, but I dyed because my grays aren't really in a streak, nor all over. They are just hither and thither, and they stick out in a very wiry crazy way, so it kinda looked bad to me...

However, we'll see if I can tame them and make it look hot!!

OK, it's been just about 3 weeks since my last henndigo, and I'm starting to have some silver peeking through! However, it's hard to tell, since all the gray is underneath!

I had to take the photos in my bathroom since the lighting is much harsher and it's the only way to get the grays to show up. You can see the indigo has started to fade out, leaving the reddish henna tint on my natural brown:

Here's my hair down - where's the silver???

But when it's up - Hi Ho Silver!!!

It will definitely be interesting to see how it looks as it gets longer and the henna fades out (if it ever does, haha!).

Aha, I will try that! I've been using shea butter and that has been helping too!

Not all teens!! Haha, I'm lovely ^_^!
i love salt n pepper hair, my Dad's is an equal mix these days of both salt and pepper, even though it's short it looks nice!
I love the look, the red heads in my family have never gone gray, so I don't think it's something I'm guna have to deal with!

Been growing out silvers for a year and a half. As time went on, I started liking the silver more.

My brother dyes his hair dark blond, but he has more silvers than I. It is kind of odd.

My hair looks like Xandergrammy, except I have more silver in front.

Mellie,
Wow..I really like how your hair looks! I think letting the silvers in will look so beautiful..like someone mentioned..natural highlights

so pretty!

Thanks Katiana!! :-)

Mellie, I think your natural color is going to be really pretty.

There was a saleslady that waited on me at the store the other day. I couldn't stop staring at her hair. It was little past shoulder length, she had it in a half up with bangs. She had black hair with white streaks. It was so pretty!

You have inspired me to stop dyeing my hair also. I am excited to see what my natural hair looks like too!

That's so nice Paper!

Unfortunately I'm already starting to waffle on this....someone mentioned how much "younger" I look without the silvers. Does that mean I look "old" with them??? Sigh....

I don't want to look old...I want to look striking, sexy and hot!! :-)
