Cindy....Thank you for the compliment....but I do have to confess, I am so
jealous of your pics....I do miss my long hair but I just could not handle the
growing out with the dark and "white" issue, since mine is soooo white! You do
look beautiful in your pics with your family. Hopefully by next year this time
I will be able to post a pic that my hair will be down to my shoulders!

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!

some cash. I just went cold turkey. I have thought time to time, well I could
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
on the virgin hair you just grew out. so I am very proud of my silver
stuff....and get tons and tons of compliments both men and women...some saying
they have been thinking of doing the same thing.

straw - which made it seem thin and ugly sometimes. I like it much better now.
