We have similar silver patterns - silver streaks on the sides and dark on top.

Thank-you so much EdG.

Hearing that my hair is thudworthy is such a wonderful compliment!

Yes, we do have a similar pattern, gotta love Mother Nature!

Vpatt, enjoy that grandchild! They are so precious!

Lulu, your hair is so lovely! You know I love your curls, and your natural color is so pretty with the silvers. You look fairly close to APL already in that pic!

Still just growing out over here. My bangs are down to about my mouth now, and making me quite insane. I was able to pull them back in a Flexi the other day, but can't do that long or I'll trigger neuralgias (nerve pain). Still, at least it will go back now when I absolutely have to!

Lovely! Silver looks great next to the blue-green hair tie

Your hair looks very fine and soft. I hope mine grows out to look so good: every now and then, I try to feel my grays and understand what kind of texture they will have. Some feel like the rest of my hair, but others are somewhat wiry. I´m looking forward for the silver, but I´m somewhat anxious about change in texture

vpatt, congratulations on being a great-grandmother and best wishes to your family!

Thank-you, rags.

I wish I was closer to APL, but this is not the case. When I take photos of my hair they always make my hair look longer and thicker than it really it is, lol. I still have a few inches before I reach APL.

I am doing my best to have patience and not give in to boredom and end up trimming. My resolve is surprisingly good this time around.

Using your flexi to pull your bangs back is great, Congrats! Slow and steady wins the race.

We can do this.

Thank-you so very much, SleepyTangles.

You are correct, my hair is very fine and most of the time it feels soft to the touch. I use silicones on my hair to tame the frizz and add much needed slip.

Being anxious is completely normal in my very humble opinion. I suspect that you will love your silvers when all is said and done.

You are welcome, vpatt! Sweetness and babies go hand in hand! You are so lucky to have her in your life. Like rags said, they are so precious.
