Color Gray/White Hair?

Hair dye....
So long as it's a somewhat normal color I'm OK with it....it's the odd colors of blue, green, and neon that's disturbing...completely unattractive.
Makes a person look like some sort of "woke" lunatic that's going to be impossible to have a conversation with and not deeply trigger or offend them in some manner.

See, I'm just the opposite. Obviously fake colors are a fashion statement, like painting nails. Especially if you do almost all one color with one or two streaks of another color.

It's the fake color that tries to look like the real color, that's the kind I dislike. People who put WAY too much importance in their public image use those, to deny their own age.

Your estimation, in some regards, is probably close to being on target.

happy birthday![/QUOTE]Thank you dear. The big day is Jan 9. Gonna be 69. Under 70 still so I still must be young at heart.

so Marge Simpsons was woke?

What about magenta as a colour. Do you chat with her on CC

Anyway what have people got against white hair? Jesus had it. And a lot of sheep have white wool. Its the black sheep who feel like the odd ones out.

I am not too far behind you .

btw, happy belated birthday wishes to your lovely wife, Darlene! .

Thank you my friend.

my husband was 74 last June and he's young at heart, too. now i have Frank Sinatra singing in my head, lol.

belated happy birthday to your darling Darlene.

If someone is single, I don't think it makes sense to dye hair to look young. However, I think in an elderly couple if one person dyes hair and the other doesn't, the age gap can appear wide and that could make someone feel uncomfortable.

I remember my high school social studies teacher had white hair and he may have been in his 30s early 40s at the time, he said he had been going grey since his 20s. One high school mate had a white streak in her hair and she was only in her teens.

Anyway I bumped into my high school teacher the other day who was now retired from teaching and his hair was still white he hadnt dyed it. He d been at the school 32 years but still looked the same. lol

I also remember first dyeing my hair (or streaking it ) bright pink at a CHRISTIAN music festival. I thought it was what all christians did. They had to bleach it first cos my hair was black.

Anyway...my next opportunity to dye it was not to turn it black to look young but to dye it different shades because I can I now dont have to bleach it first. Though its children who pick up on white hairs. Thats why my principal kept dying hers dark to fit in with the children who at this school mostly had dark hair. The dye didnt last that long though and every couple of months it would grow out, until she gave up and actually did leave its beautiful natural silver colour and then she retired.

I dont think its necessarily to look younger but maybe other reasons. But there is a group called Grey Power and they actually love their grey hairs cos thats marks of seniority and wisdom.

You cant make one black hair white and God knows every hair on your head. Dyeing it isnt the worst thing you can do though its a hassle to keep up with it, but maybe wearing wig or toupee of fake hair to look younger looks odd. If its someone elses hair thats even weirder but theres synthetic hair and extensions etc

I dont know, maybe ask a hairdresser (plenty of christian hairdressers around) what they think as they are trained in it and have the expert opinion!

If you want to look 'sophisticated' wear your most expensive jewellery.

for most who do that, it's very obvious because the hair color doesn't match the face which is older looking. usually looks ridiculous & too noticeable. but there are some where you just can't tell. i've seen musicians color their hair & with a talented hair stylist, you have a 25 year old hair look mismatching a 60 year old face!

Hey, Happy new year. The hairs I have left are white/grey. And its a privilige of old and wise people in the idealic case to have grey/white hair.

At the risk of sounding pious: I suggest one reads Ecclesiastes. What it says about "vanity."

This is what I meant about hair as art:







This was on a girl at w*rk yesterday. (I got permission before snapping the pic.) I call this a pumpkin pie hairdo.

Marge Simpson is a cartoon.

I don't know what color hair Magenta has....never asked. Did not think it important.
But I'd just about bet its not neon green.
