I love your photos. Your hair is a beautiful silver. No wonder you get all the
compliments! I posted one of my family and as you can see mine is long and
definitely not as silver. I am hoping with time more silver will appear!

spray on some color now or do a wash out rinse, but my hairdresser told me that
when you do that it will scar your hair. Scar meaning it will leave a residue
