I get so many positive comments, especially from the younger generation. They think it is so cool. So many women have said to me that they wish they had the nerve to put a streak in their hair. I tell them "Go ahead and do it. It's only hair, after all."
I think that is awesome. I have a friend that dyes ehr hair black but with a bright red top. I stopped dying my hair when I had surgery. Got it cut really really short because I knew I wasn't going to be able to mess with it. Good thing. Spent a week in ICU in a coma. And you know they don't wash hair there. Can you imagine what it would have been like if I hadn't cut it? It was down to my waist!! It is slooowwly turning white but mostly salt and pepper in the back. I have thought about coloring it again but hate the thought of constant up keep. I just wish it would go completely white like my great grandfathers was.
