    Yes, I think so too. And when I was in my early 20s, I had my bangs dyed black and the rest in red (or it was the other way around....), which I thinj was a cool effect.
    Made me think of Rogue from the X-Men series.

    Well, you should do what makes you feel happy.
    Myself prolly won't have to worry about any gray hair for at least a decade more. We'll see...

    I agree with what Aerya said about the contrast.

    I'm not a fan of salt and pepper look personally and yeah I eventually want to go back to the silver blond as I think I suit it best

    We will see how long I last lol I have more grays at 39 than my boss does at 47 haha

    The platinum at the front will help blend them but my platinum dreams will be a while the pink is very set into the hair I have, bleach doesn't lift it out, I might have to get a colorist to neutralise it or dye it a darker blond but that's a future Bat Problem. For now I have to let it grow

    Sounds like you have a solid plan. That's good, and happy growing.

    My natural hair is finally getting long enough to start looking dimensional. It's natural down to about ear length now, and I've noticed that it's starting to show some subtle lighter streaks in the sun. I understand what people mean about it taking a year or two to really figure out what your natural hair looks like -I'm at neatly a year and a half of no dye. I remember getting pretty sun streaks when I was a kid, but my hair was a lot lighter then. I'm glad to see it still does that.

    That's great congratulations!

    I don't know how or when I'll cave but I'm going to try my hardest not to bleach my haie for the rest of the year, it's laughable how bad I am and resisting the urge though 43 days was the longest I went without dye which is ridiculous

    Resisting the bleach urge is SO HARD. I've tried and failed to grow out my natural color sooooo many times -I'm talking like over 18 years or so. I think this is the longest I've ever gone, and I still get random urges to mess with my color! You'll get there ♡

    Believe me for the first 1.5 years AT LEAST I felt the urge to dye it because the growing out process was so, so bad. I'm so glad I'm over that stage.
