grey hair is like a platinum medal one gets for surviving life

you wouldn't want to paint a platinum medal red, would you? so why dye your grey hair with henna? wear it proudly, i say

Because that is the best chance to get my hair shine like a gold? Not so easy to make dark hair golden, you know.

Pierce is right (this time, at least )



Darling, I am growing older,Silver hairs among the gold....

There is some gender based difference. I find "salt and pepper" irresistible on men. Women don't look so to me in those colours.

but hati, women are not to look to you ever, in any form

I've known a few women who were well-coiffed and well-coutured, and their salt-and-pepper hair looked stunning.

Pierce, never say never.
Paul, it's just very few, very very few.

but if only one of them returns the admiration it could mean the start of a great new frindship

Yes, I love 'salt and pepper' hair on a woman.

I also knew a woman whose hair was naturally grey all her life. This was a stunning colour, but was a different 'quality' of grey to sage greyness.

As my mother's hair got whiter (but never all the way white), she took to saying that she had become blode "the hard way."

Maybe, when I get to 40 or so, I'll stop dyeing it. Until then, those grey hairs are going to be covered. They show up too way much against dark hair.
