Hair is a topic that always brings out memories & advice. Thanks to everyone.

My hair was always darkish brown with reddish lights, so every now & then I'd put in more red, sometimes henna. The hennaing stopped years ago when my grey hairs started taking over as the discreet grey hairs went screaming irridescent orange & were twice as obvious in my new head of reddish hair. I haven't used any color for years & have 4 boxes of dye, bought on sale, sitting on the shelf - I suppose it would be best to add them to the stuff heading for the charity shop.

I don't have a greay streak in the middle of my hair - I have 2 grey streaks on the sides! My latest office ID photo I call my Russian grandmother pic, as my chubby cheeks & grey hair severely pulled back makes me look like a white-blond Russian woman I knew years ago. The bouncy pony tail does not show in the pic! I have been growing my hair for several years & can only cope with it when it's confined. It's now the longest its ever been - about a hand width above my waist & looks wonderful when I comb it out, as long as I don't move my head, then it falls about in a mess.

I've spent years trying to grow it & cutting it off cos it doesn't sit well loose over my shoulders, it needs to be tied back.

Does anyone remember a doll around in the 70's - push the button at her waist & her hair grew past her waist, I wanted one of those buttons.

Incidently, my first office ID taken 14 years ago I called my Armed-Terrorist-Shoot-on-Sight photo as it was a perfect example of my sister's observation that if most people looked like their passport pic they'd be arrested.
