Gray hair is actually white, but as it mixes with your natural hair, it appears to be gray. You might also end up with odd hairs that are half and half, i.e. an inch gray, and inch your natural youthful color, and then gray again. This version of gray is ideal if you want to go for the salt'n'pepper look, but I would say that most people will not be able to achieve this look. Often, life events will accelerate the graying process and more and more roots will produce gray hair. It's a vicious cycle. :whip: Basically, gray hair is lacking pigments, which makes it also harder to dye. The color cannot grab onto any existing pigments in the hair, which makes the color fade away much faster. This is more prominent in darker hair. You've probably seen older ladies and gentlemen that attempted to keep a full head of dark brown, but it turns out as a brassy redish tone. My advice is to start early to go a shade lighter (or even two shades). Consider yourself lucky that you have a professional in your family. :amused: I'm sure you stepmum can help you out or at least give you a discount. Coloring hair in regular intervals (at the most 3 weeks if you want to avoid unsightly roots) can get really expensive, especially when you go for quality products (and avoid do-it-yourself bottle dye from the drugstore - those will dry out your hair even more and that's what you want to avoid as the gray is already very coarse). LOL at not pulling them out. I totally agree. Who would pull them out anyway? You either live with the gray hair or you dye them. Pulling them out is not a solution.
Yes my few grays are so unruly!! My normally hair is beautiful and long. Those few are super course and very hard to work with I can't imagine having a full head! And if I'm anything like my mom my front will go first. Thankfully like I said I get free hair care so not too worried thankfully! It's what happens when one has kids close in age I guess lol So have we learned if the blush was that dandelion blush?
On me, the color wasn't the best, until I'd put the VG Riri gloss on top, and then it would be beautiful! I do love frosts, though, and hope to see MAC do many more jewel toned ones in the future.
Lol it was cute huh:haha: .....loveeeeeeee this
May I ask which cco you would recommend in your area?
Ok, cool. I've been to that sawgrass one and that was terrible compared to the ones I'm used to. I'll have to try the other ones. Thank you!
You just saved me a trip to Sawgrass Mills Mall. I was planning to drive to CCO this week but I will wait until we go to Orlando. Thanks!
In my experience, Nordies exclusives ALWAYS end up at CCOs. You just have to have patience.
Which I unfortunately don't have lol
I love you! I laughed so hard when I read this. And I feel the same way ^.^
That one...just to give you an idea-doesn't have more than 10 shelves of Mac and is located inside saks off fifth. It's probably the worst cco I've ever been to lol The rest is bobbi brown, some smashbox, and a lot of Estée Lauder. I can't even say its a good selection of things among those brands and I don't believe they have testers out.
Me too. I'm team all the lipsticks!Roxo Mirror Gold Mirror Excited for these even if this collection has underwhelmed a lot of you!
