Redheads can have the same problem. My grandmother was a dark auburn and her "white" hair wasn't really white when you looked closely. She always wore it up in a bun, so it was kinda hard to tell, close to the scalp seemed to be the whitest.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
But blondes do not gray well. It's this weird, yellowed-with-age, gray thing.
Aiiiiiiieeeeeee!!! Please don't tell me that! I had counted on going white.
My hair used to be blonde. It looks okay gray.
I adore Hec's gray. He's silvering beautifully. Some blondes definitely do go a sort of dingey yellow, but it's not a universal rule.
I like it, Hec. I know it's not quite a Hecliment, but I owe you some.It's not everyone who can look distinguished and hip, both.
Okay?
I do not think that word means what you think it means.
My grandmother had really white hair but she used to dye it all the time to a medium brown. I first time I saw her when she hadn't dyed it I had to do a double-take because I wasn't sure if it was really her.

Hubby is a Scandinavian blond, and he's going silver. He glitters in sunlight. It's very cool.
