Judy and Kate,
Thanks for the research. This whole thing with hair color can sure get to be an aggravation sometimes. But I am not yet up to trying to make the transition.
I got an email just yesterday from a longtime friend who spent the winter going gray. She has now cut her long hair off as short as possible. She said it is like one of those things we used to call a "pixie" cut.
Her husband has been away on one of those trips guys go on so they can male bond and fart whenever they want to and all that stuff. She said she has warned him that her hair is so short now that when he returns he may think an old gray-haired man has moved into their house. I can't tell if she is about to chicken-out and throw herself on the mercy of Miss Clairol or not.
Nora Ephron's book I Feel Bad About My Neck talks about this very issue, along with so many other issues that we face as we age. She does it with humor, of course. And you have to love that title.
