ITA.  Salt & pepper here and I am SO glad esp in times such as this.  Fortunately, the grey is platinum as opposed to brassy.  No need for purple shampoos.

@pommom   I can deal w/o a cut. Handy enough to style my hair one way or another. Roots? Too vain to deal w/ that. I'd be nutty by now. My neighbor's been coloring her hair jet black...now has at least an inch or more of grey roots very visible. She won't even go to drugstore for meds. Has everything delivered.

Not quite that bad yet but grey is definitely showing.  My hair is sort of brown/blonde so not as stark a contrast as black hair but my solution is wear a hat.  Got cold again here so no problem for the next few days wearing a hat.  When it warms up, I will just put on a baseball cap.

I stopped coloring my hair in 2012 when I was going thru breast cancer---and I was bald for about 5 months--- but when my hair grew back it was a nice shade of brown with grey highlights in it and really is a very nice color--still is today. Have been told by my several hair stylists, that the color is beautiful and not to do anything with it. So I don't--but so need a hair cut!!!!!!!

Definitely NOT starting the great grey debate...again.

@wagirl   So happy you're doing well and have your hair back so you can make those decisions. Sometimes I forget those who don't have that choice. Congrats. 🌸

@Shanus---I bought the longer of the 2 tsv's,  last night--my hair is driving me up the wall due to it not being cut in several months---my style is very much the same as that wig, but I have to wash my real hair everyday so it will do something-----and I hate fussing with my hair. Had 3 wigs while going thru chemo that were fantasic styles and colors but donated them to the hospitals cancer store---wish I kept just one of them. there wasn't my true color, brown and grey, soordered the light brown. Will report back when I get it.

@wagirl   Good idea. I have Bumble Bumble dry shampoo and picked up a drug store brand last outing. Even the cheap brands that tend to go white don't matter when going grey. I spray it in before bed, rub it in real good. By morning, any oils have been "sucked up" and style is returned w/ a slight brushing.

I'm lucky that I don't have to worry about gray too much.  I last had my brunette hair colored in early November and had face frame highlights at the time.  I need to have it done as now the highlights are getting lower and I can suddenly see a few grays starting to sprout on the top.

My hair is straight and I have it cut in a layered bob but it's going to go too flat on top if I can't get it cut soon....I'll have to see what I can do at home within the next moth or so.

I'm assuming none of us will receive an invitation to anything resembling the Met Gala. Judging by the sites in the food stores of roots, unruly cuts, no makeup, masks, gloves and scarves...don't know about you, but even un-coiffed, I'm way ahead of the game. I'm not going to chop at my hair and make a mistake that will take months to grow out when my stylists makes her attempts. 

When I get out of here, have so much to do...Yipee just thinking about it...my hair is the last thing on my mind. As long as my underwear is clean and car has gas, I'm gone!!

I've always colored my hair using Loreal Excellence.  I have decided to not color it again until this crisis is over.  My hair cutter has always told me that my grey will not be pretty (like my mother's).  So this is a good time for me to see what it looks like.

I'm not thinking about it, but it is happening nonetheless. Fortunately my hair is curly and a very light brown, so it isn't as startling as it could be.

The first time I feel comfortable going out and businesses are open again (which I fervently hope is not prematurely allowed), I will see my stylist for my regular root color and trim.
