Gail,
There's this stuff in the hair color isle called "Oops" (or something like
that). It's a "hair color corrector" - it's supposed to fix hair color mistakes.

It may be too long now after your "oops", but it may help. At least check it out
and see what it says.

Good luck!

feel better. As soon as I started squirting the color on I felt regret but keep
going. I colored it dark blonde which made me look like a middle aged lady who
obviously colors her hair. So 2 days later I had my daughter highlight it which
lightened it up quite a bit. I had told myself from the beginning of going
natural I'd give it a year and if I didn't like it, I'd simply start coloring
again.

silver hair was absolutely gorgeous! It looked like icicles from a Christmas
tree the way 1/2 of it glittered (mostly around my face). The back of my head
was more mousy-gray but still nice. I've been offered senior discounts since
going natural and I guess I got a bit too vain. I realized that with make-up
and the right colors that silver still may age me some but it also made me look
confident of who I had become. As someone stated earlier, I too had gotten
compliments from both men and women. Now I'm like the majority of ladies out
there who would do anything to try to keep looking young.
