So, your bright reply has cheered me. Thank you! Pajama Mama - have fun with it! ;-) Kathleen - my daughter is the one who does the daring colors and such. It is not unusual to find her with auburn hair on top and bright teal green below. She is adventurous and so is her hairdresser. >.. Lynn,

At the time, I was too cash-strapped to consider eliminating the invaders with chemical warfare. Now, some thirty-odd years later they have pretty much taken over the land. Although I now have the means to deport them, I have granted them amnesty. In return, they have elicited compliments (from friends and even strangers)which I accept graciously. I carry them proudly - even the mavericks that refuse to conform to my "coiffing" expectations. I, too, started noticing the salt sprinkling itself amidst the pepper in my late teens/early twenties.

I am the guinea pig - literally. She really does an excellent job but lets me know when I need to color the gray. Hey, I'm 50. We are supposed to have a little grey, for character at least, don't you think? I have a daughter who wants to be a hairdresser. I am the guinea pig - literally.

Part of me is courious to see what it would look like if I just let it go. Trust me, there are a lot of them! Everytime I look at someone with beautiful stripes, I wonder if mine would look that great. I just have to get up the courage to try and see!
