Was looking at hairstyles online earlier. Has anyone looked at silver hair with blue streaks? Some of those women look great!

What styles do you like for women over 60? I say to each his own. I wanted to see if my husband was paying attention one evening and I told him that I was going to put royal blue streaks in my hair. Hahaha 😂
At first he made a face, then said, “Go ahead if you want to.” I know he wouldn’t like it. My kids have done the color streaks.

Since she’s the best I’ve ever found, I don’t fight her opinion, but I wish I loved my short thinning very fine snow white hair as much as she does!
I saw a woman with the blue streaks recently who looked fabulous! Have seen the purple too.
I decided I will just go silver/grey. But, here is the issue...
most natural hair color has some base in reds. Red is a massive problem to get rid of...even in grey hair, there isn’t a solid natural streak of silver..always some brunette (red base) mixed in. What that means is that it will always keep Turing yellow.
fighting the yellow is a constant process. Purple shampoo often causes purple hair or blue...then you have to wash that out a try again. Permanent dye contains bleach which will totally wreck your hair or cause you to have to use expensive products (olaplex) to keep it from breaking or falling out. And you have to do it again every month. Or semipermanent... but have to redo it is every month.
no easy answer to actually achieve it....and expensive to do and maintain if you do.
i speak from actual experience. I am letting my hair grow out, meanwhile I have very massive damage because I couldn’t keep up the $200 treatments every month.
Grey hair on young girls has become a trend. I recently saw a girl that looked good with it.
I was that eclectic kid. When I wasn’t dressed in my Catholic school uniform I was dressed in my own personal style.
I used to make halter tops out of silk scarves. I would also rip up the inside of my jeans and sew in floral panels to make a long flowing skirt. I had very long hair. I was the little ‘flower child.’
Elaine, I wanted to know about how you felt about the colored streaks in older women.
Yeah, my kids did that spray. I think that would be hard to control the color. For me anyway. You know, to get the streaks. They have the chalk too. They make it in temporary dye.
I stopped coloring my hair a few years back. It’s the silver color like my dad’s was.
Yep, salons aren’t cheap!
salon wanted $350 per treatment (#2 every two weeks and #3 with every washing).
salon wanted $350 per treatment (#2 every two weeks and #3 with every washing).
when I stopped using these with every wash...my hair started breaking and falling out. Up until then, my hair was great..silky, shinny, smooth, very manageable... but once I stopped treatments it was matted, tangled, couldn’t comb it....no cream rinse or other treatments worked at all. So, I just bit the bullet and let it go.
Why not? I am happy with my silver hair but I have seen some blue streaks that I think are cool! It’s the same as any other fashion accessory. I would not commit to permanent color. They make it in a a beauty supply place that is semi permanent.
My grandma had snow white hair. Mom has the white. Daddy had the silver. I have silver.
Washes out in six weeks.
Wow! That’s really expensive. Yeah, some of my friends have damaged their hair too. It happens.
I think there are certain conditioning treatments in salons now that help repair the damage.
Look at the cost of skin creams. Some moisturizers are crazy expensive too. I just use a very old brand, Oil of Olay. I am not sure why but I don’t have any wrinkles. I guess good genes, grandma had beautiful skin, mom has no wrinkles in her 90’s. Daddy had no wrinkles.
My oldest daughter did the blue before, my youngest did the pink. I only let them do it in the summer. Wasn’t allowed in school. They did the temporary stuff.
I let them do the spray colors at our church fair. The fair is a big fund raiser. I always work a booth but not the hair color booth! I work the silent auction now. I used to do the game booths for the little kids.
Wonder what kind of color did your stylist use? You can get it from a beauty supply place a use a cap to pull the strands through.
My hair is white/silver gray and I'm letting it grow out. Some days I just can't stand it and some days I just want to cut it into a modern style. Right now sitting on my hands to keep from going to have it cut very short.
I am one for cutting it when I go through big changes. I'm going to google some silver hair with blue streaks-it doesn't hurt to picture how it might look. No pressure. :)
