I have a head of thick, long hair (great for head banging!)...so i think folk might also wonder what's happened to me if i shaved it all off.
I really admire FMN and ZC for their commitment to this as i absolutely couldn't do it. I can only struggle through 1 day without washing it at present.
I've never tried the co-op's hair dye. maybe i will though. As of this afternoon, I'm blonde and purple again.

I couldn't give up washing my hair either - does it make you feel itchy?

I shaved my head after one last new year in a manchester rock club many years ago and then went back home to Newcastle. I arranged to meet a mate in the pub and he walked past me! He didn't recognise me with no hair.

I had my head shaved for a good cause in public last May. I was astounded how good it looked and felt. It was liberating, and very surprisingly the easiest way to go "10 years younger". I can't see me going back to all that conditioning, combing and farting about again. I've had it cut twice since. And the henna has taken fab on the grey.
But I would highly recommend this as a summer idea. Chilly necks and freezing ears are not to be recommended - luckily we have an eclectic hat selection

Lying in bed last night, I suddenly realized in all this hair dye talk that i use semi permanents are any of these semi permanent? As for the grey, my family go grey early, I started getting odd ones at 17, hence the start of the hair dye. I don't mind them coming through as most are under my fringe anyway and a few at parting seem to suit my face more than the freshly dyed look that looked better in early 20's, so hair keeping up with face now LOL.
My
fear at saying good bye to the hair dye isn't that I'll go grey but the balance will tip more and ........I'll start to look like my mother who never dyed...... I just can't. I don't have a problem with aging, only aging faster than my age....
Re the washing, it doesn't drive me up the wall like LOR but I currently wake up looking like a fibre optic lamp and wettening down works enough for a quick trip to the shop for milk but then it springs up again!?!?

I also started getting grey hairs as a teenager - and have dyed my hair regularly since then. I did bite the bullet and allow the natural look and was fine with it until I was referred to as the granny of my youngest child!! I did have my eldest daughter with me at the time so I suppose it was a fair assumption (she was around 18 at the time) but it didn't make me feel very good :-(
Henna - don't you need to grow out all your old chemically coloured hair before using this? Do we all have to do a Fia to be able to use it? How long does it take - I've heard tales of sitting with the stuff on your heid for about 4 hours, and other tales telling of how messy it all is.

They say you're supposed to go lighter with age but I think the only way to do that if your dark like me, is serious hairdresser time and money. If I let the roots grow out and use a lighter one, it's not that bad but I go fake orangey in the sunlight. aaaarrrgggh I wouldn't mind but I'm not hair obsessed, I want as little fuss and time as possible.
At some point, I'm going to have to take the jump or I'll look like Morticia Adams
