I was so tickled by the picture, I just had to share it!

[TheMechaGinger]

That is so cool! My mom my cousin and I are the only redheads in the family so every couple of years at our family reunion we take a picture like this. What a beautiful family :)

[Jenny31557]

I love that picture! You all have lovely hair!

[joflakes]

That's such a cool photo!

[Lunnafindel]

Thanks, everyone! My little sister is trying to beat me, but I think she's got a couple years left... (talk about sibling rivalry! ;P )
And Phalaenopsis, I'll tell my mom - she gets a lot of flack for having grey hair in her 50s, but I'm sure she has support here! I think her hair is beautiful. And the color variation when she does french braids is amazing.

Oh, cool! I wish I could do this in my family, but the next-longest hair in my family is barely BSL! and most north ofbthe shoulders.

Also tell her she should even grow it longer! :D

That's a really neat photo! May I ask - Is your braid done using a Topsy-tail? I'd like to do this style.

My sister, last I know, has also gone longer, but we are the only ones and we can't stand each other. Pity, it would make for an interesting pic.

[Lunnafindel]

Nope. Easier than that. I just took 2 smallish sections on either side of my head and twisted them back, and then incorporated them into the middle section of the braid. It's a style I learned here, though I can't remember what it was called... It's super easy, and the great thing about it is that it looks better as it gets messier, because the curls frame the face. Try it!

Love it! And your mom's hair is dazzling - so thick, and such a lovely colour. :crush:

[In|{girl]

This is such a beautiful picture, my sister is the only person in my family who has long hair like me

[lulana]

Such a nice family Picture maybe i can ask my Family girls to do something like this the next time we met, unfortunately all of our males have short hair

[Surinecet]

What a great idea! Everyone's hair is so nice!

[Juanita]

Beautiful hair. Your mothers hair is lovely. Ignore the naysayers. Mine is also long and grey.

[faellen]

[Skade]

Lovely picture Lunnafindel. Like the visual effect that the color uniformity with your blue shirts give. Your mom has so beautiful grey hair and you braid is just... mouthwatering :yumm:

[eresh]

Tell her that nothing is so gorgeous as a woman secure in her beauty she can allow her hair to be grey!!
I get some people(usually hair stylists) telling me to dye but a lot of my clients love my hair and one thing I noticed after I stopped dying it at39 an dlet the grey shne was how much faster people recognized me out of th esalon environment!

[Celtic Morla]

All th eway on the right is that a guy? Lovely hair ,so jealous ,mine is so straight!!

[CurlMonster]

What an awesome family photo! I also love your hairstyle, I will have to try it on myself sometime. :)

[alexis917]

Yup. It's my dad. His hair is longer than my mothers...we make jokes about it :P Actually, his hair used to be super straight and blond, but when he shaved it off as a teenager, it grew back dark and curly...go figure.
Thanks for all the sweet comments, guys! :)

[Peggy E.]

Lovely portrait - do hope you have one with actual faces showing! ;o)

Do have to say, that white-haired braid is just gorgeous and I love to see this lady proud of her natural shade and her lovely longer hair!

[TheIronMaiden]

Wonderful braids! :-) I feel like I've got to do that kind of pictures with my cousins. ;-) Thanks for the idea!
