Colour change
 

Now that your hair has turned white or grey.....do you still look on life the same way?

Re: Colour change
 

Of course I do .... although most of the grey is in my beard.;) Same twisted world view I've had for a coon's age.:D

Re: Colour change
 

Well I'm not quite there yet, sadly, and going by my father don't think I will either:)

Re: Colour change
 

I've gone through a couple of colour changes in my life. When I was a teenager it was sort of light brown blonde-ish, then when I got into my forties it darkened to almost black and now it is sort of half and half gray and black. Very peculiar, luv. My beard has always been four different colours. I still think I'm twenty. Though my partner says that you could be forgiven for thinking sometimes that I was only three. Petulant, Moi, luv?

Re: Colour change
 

Have never really changed the way i view life a great deal Tal, though believe or not i'm a lot more tolerant. n i'm well grey now.

I started life as white, now it seems I'm cocasian.

Must be a women to blame for it, colour charts are a confusion thanks to their interference, if I want brown I've to ask for tan, if I want yellow it's now lemon, (no, a lemon is yellow. The colour yellow isn't a lemon).
:(

Re: Colour change
 

White or grey? I spend a lot of time (and money) making sure it's attractive tones of blonde! I like to think I look on life in the same way but possibly not - I'm not as tolerant now or as driven as I used to be. But I don't feel my age - when I was recently described in my hospital notes as a fifty six year old woman I wondered who they were talking about! In my head and without looking in a mirror I tend to think of myself as being in my mid thirties, but seeing that my son's that age it's just not possible!

Re: Colour change
 

Well I can certainly subscribe to that Anne, I certainly don't feel 65, in fact I keep saying to myself 65 na, the only problem is although I live on my own, I see this strange person looking at me in the mirror every morning when I go in the bathroom, the wizened old git don't half give me a fright:rolleyes::D

Re: Colour change
 

Yeh it gave me one yesterday.:D

Re: Colour change
 

I never got the chance to find out-most of it disappeared before it could change colour.
Now going bald- I don't know about life but you certainly look at cold weather a different way!

Re: Colour change
 

Shut it you:D

Re: Colour change
 

Luckily I am still blonde - not a grey hair in sight, according to the lovely Andrea and Salvatore, who are in charge of my crowning glory. They do wonderful scalp massages and I come out of "Jean Louis David" in Cremona feeling a million dollars and it only costs **Euros a time! Cheap at twice the price - that and the "camp" banter -all us girls luv'em to bits:D

The "Swedish" blonde who naturally bleached out in the summer sun has gone though and I do need it "tweaking" twice a year now in winter;):D

At 16 went through a "Human League" assymetric phase with one side lilac -done by mum's cousin Pat Croston in Ossy - am thinking of going back to that style for my next visit "in Patria"...Still a teenager at heart.

Re: Colour change
 

It,s not white/grey it,s silver????

Re: Colour change
 

Mine went the same way but only when i became a moderator on accyweb.
not sure if it all fell out though some was pulled out after a couple of years moderating :)

Re: Colour change
 

I refer to it as Ash Blonde.:)

Re: Colour change
 

The greyer I get the grumpier I become. I bought myself a flat cap recently, when I looked in the mirror Fred Didnah was looking back.

Someone took a photo of me not to long ago, when he showed it to me my initial reaction was who is that grumpy looking old man, when I realised it was me it made me even more grumpy:cursing:

Re: Colour change
 

My fairish hair now has an ash blond Mallon streak, and there's an odd pure white hair on my chest. (That'll confuse those who think I'm an Asian babe.) :D

Nothing really to do with hair colour, but I think with age, comes an increase of confidence.

Confidence that means, because time's passing rather quickly, you aren't going to waste any of it, by putting up with any crap.

Re: Colour change
 

I look in the mirror and see my grandma looking back at me, it's scary!

Re: Colour change
 

Got my first "silver" hair at 17 and have been colouring it ever since. I have become far less tolerant as I have aged. LOUDER, bossier,complaining about everything -- no wonder I'm single :D

Re: Colour change
 

Grey, fluffy,bald showing,seems expensive haircuts these days for what's left on the floor.Very content with myself,comfortable in my skin,take things as they come.Just realised that I can't alter the world.

Re: Colour change
 

Nope, you can't alter the world, but you can make a difference in it.

Re: Colour change
 

Did that with 4 daughters

Re: Colour change
 

There you are then......job done!

Re: Colour change
 

It was a pleasure.

Re: Colour change
 

When I chucked working for the printer to go back to college and get the degree, I was told that I could not change the world. Poor printer, he had not the wit to realise that changing the world was the last thing I wanted - I wanted to change ME!

And did you?

Did I!

Re: Colour change
 

Keep young, and beautiful.

Buy a new wig.

Re: Colour change
 

I'd want a better rug than that Rindi:D

Re: Colour change
 

That, is one bad syrup ! :D

Re: Colour change
 

There was a man in Ossy, a really nice chap, who had a syrup worse than that.

He used to take it off and wipe his face with it, when he was hot.

Sparkologist will know exactly who I mean.

:D

Re: Colour change
 

I seem to remember a guy with a really dreadful rug and can't remember his name:confused:

Re: Colour change
 

There is something about people who wear a "syrup" other people never mention it, and pretend it is not there, yet if you are bald or fat or old (you get the picture) other people think it funny to mention it, or include it in a joke. So life must be miserable if you are a fat, bald, pensioner.:swear8:,

Re: Colour change
 

Well once noticed a mate wi a syrup dave n it was the first thing i mentioned.:D

Re: Colour change
 

well I'm fat and a pensioner, but have a no1 cut as I still have a decent head of hair:D

Re: Colour change
 

Womens wigs don't get the scorn that mens toupees do.
Tina Turner, Cher and Burley Chassis openly use them frequently, if not daily.

I have four fashion wigs in various lengths, styles and shades of blonde.
I named them after celebrities -
Marilyn, Joan Rivers, Brigitte, and Kim(Novak).

When I was in my early 60s I regularly 'gallivanted' on five day/four night coach trips,
It amused me to 'dress for dinner' using a different wig every day.
Some old biddies thought I was spending every afternoon in the hairdressers.
One witty coach driver remarked 'Do you have a Sinéad O'Connor?' :D

Re: Colour change
 

I agree but fer some reason womens syrups seem much harder to detect?:confused:

Re: Colour change
 

Well not if your bald one day and a ravishing blond the next:D

Re: Colour change
 

Nooooooo! Cashy, you aren't looking hard enough.
I think that many women can spot another woman wearing a wig, but we don't mention it because it might be that the lady has had chemo, and lost her hair and is waiting for her own to come back - or it just maybe she wants a temporary change of style or colour.

Re: Colour change
 

NHS wigs are notoriously unrealistic but the fashion wig industry has made great inroads into realism.

If you put the wig on in the right way it takes VERY close scrutiny to tell its not real.

Re: Colour change
 

A friend of mine was diagnosed with very agressive leukaemia in her early forties. She was fitted for an NHS wig which was horrible....she hated it and thought it could be spotted a mile off. She went to see a hiardresser friend, who thinned it and trimmed it....it did look better once this had been done.
It didn't get much wear. My friend preferred her colourful scarves and when she got confidence.....a bare head.
When her hair did grow back it was curly and she hadn't one grey hair.
She has now been in remission for 20 years....and is considered cured.(though she always crosses her fingers when she says that)

Re: Colour change
 

I wasn't referring to N.H.S. syrups, was meaning the fancy uns.

Re: Colour change
 

So, MargaretR, on the quiet you're a little raver!

Re: Colour change
 

In fact, while the weather is like this would you mind lending me one?

Re: Colour change
 

"Get ahead - get a hat"

Re: Colour change
 

I did but it doesn't keep my ears warm-your Marilyn wig would!
Although I fancy the Kim Novak one.

Re: Colour change
 

I suppose if he was a mate, he might have expected some ribbing, but if you met someone for the first time with a syrup, apart from not being able to take your eyes off it, you wouldnt mention it. Its the elephant in the room

Re: Colour change
 

You dont get the points for two out of three, you must try harder

Re: Colour change
 

Does it bite ? Have you got a licence for that ? :)

Re: Colour change
 

Well I'm not shaving my bonce just for you Dave:D

Re: Colour change
 

When my hairline commenced inching upward I was in a bit of a quandry as to what to do about it. The prospect of maintaining a bobby charlton style comb over did not appeal at all, so I decided to have the lot off and for the last ten years have maintained a No.1 cut. Working as I do with food it is so practical. And when it gets cold I put a hat on. I like wearing hats and I love the feel of stubble. When I think of the time I wasted when I was younger, messing with my hair, I wish I'd had the sense to have it all off then. The savings I have made in visits to the barbers are not inconsiderable either.

Re: Colour change
 

No points then, and you know what points do, they make prizes

Re: Colour change
 

I'm used to that Dave, well I am a Rovers supporter:D
