9 Months now

I think the next haircut should get rid of the dyed ends on the bangs so at least the hair around my face will be silver which I am looking forward to.

8 months - just got my hair cut

Still not that different.  I think  the crown will take a other few months to be totally done.  And the rest of the hair probably another 8-10 months.  And I am still liking it.  Not putting any product in it now and my hair seems to respond a lot better.  When I am out and about no one is really saying anything.  I had one person say that it looks great and that she tried to go silver a while  back and thought she looked too washed out so went back to coloring.  I think people just don't know what to say.

7 Months - still looking the same to me

I think I have gotten to the stage that many people have talked about, where it doesn't look like anything is happening or changing.  I think I may have to wait until my next haircut to see the progress.  From the front you can't really tell what is going on, but when I lift up the hair or you look at the top, then you can see the progress.
The dark dyed ends are starting to get dry so I have been doing more of the coconut treatments which has been helping.

6 Months along

These pictures may not look very different than the last set, but I did get a cut a few days ago which got rid of some of the dye on the top so it looks more silver now.  I am liking the ombre, or should I say omgray.  I am thinking that I might be done in 8 more months.

The silver looks brighter in these pictures because of the light that is hitting it.

5 1/2 months

Received my first comment today about my hair. At the checkout counter at my local grocery store, the woman commented on how brave I was that I was growing out my gray and that it looked really nice.  She always told herself that she would continue to color her hair until they through dirt on her but now you never know after seeing me.  So that was certainly positive.

5 Months along

No, I didn't cut it, I just have it pulled back since it is hot here today,  And pulling it back shows more of the silver.  That way people have a better idea that I am doing this on purpose as opposed to just being lazy.  I have read that at the 6 month mark it can look like nothing is happening.  Not sure I am going to feel that way, will let you know.

I am really liking the color that is coming in and I am not minding the "blorange" as they call it, on the ends.

Have been experimenting with make up.  I am trying a new foundation and concealer, a bit pricey, but feels like nothing on and gives a nice light coverage and good SPF coverage.  It is the Perricone Md  "No Foundation Foundation Serum" as well as the "No Concealer Concealer".  If you can get a sample of them, they are worth a try.

Me and my grays celebrating my birthday

Celebrating 58 today and what better way to do it than with family, cake and champagne.  Gilbert took the pictures and I thought to add them here since it shows how the grays are looking.  I am now at 4 1/2 months since the last dye.  Doesn't seem to be that much progress, still working on my patience.  What I am noticing is that I am growing back some hairs around my hairline that used to not be there.  Dying really was doing a job destroying them.
