I think I've had my hair virtually every 'natural' colour going over the years, but got so fed up with the maintenance that I've now decided not to bother. Mine's now going grey quite nicely so I'm going to wait for it to go white and have a purple rinse - that's one up on the poem about the purple hat, if you know it.

The problem with an all over is that, within a matter of weeks you'll have regrowth, or roots and then you have to go back and get them done or put up with bi-coloured hair until it grows out/fades away. that's the boring and expensive bit.

Anyway, the stage that you are at in your pregnancy is not the one where you want to be doing anything drastic. I've been there three times and can remember the feeling that I desperately wanted to change things. The problem was that, if I did, I changed my mind again within a week. Those little hormones can really give you hell.

Have you looked at the temporary colourings - the ones that wash out within a few weeks? Are they OK when you're pregnant? Other than that, make a bold statement - use a can of hair mouse and go retro punk...
