OK, since people are talking about coloring their hair. I'm thinking I should start coloring mine - there's a LOT of white in it and I've started looking for another job ... and I think that white will emphasize my age. So ... I'd have it done professionally - the guy who's been cutting my hair for years does color - but I'm nervous about it. How often do you have to color the roots? my hair grows FAST.
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I have to say, Toddson, that I love your hair the way it is. It is very striking and very...how you say? Chic. It complements your complexion and features so well, that I'm having a hard time imagining it any other way. Not that you shouldn't color it if you really want to, but my very humble opinion that you should leave it.
But I get your concerns.

I'm getting the pig!
Red is the most difficult to maintain. While it was red, I think I was doing a touch-up on the roots every 3 weeks. Sometimes less.
Normal root touch-up is usually anywhere between 4 - 6 weeks, depending on your hair.

Aimee, thank you. I actually like it ... but I need to get a new job and haven't really been in the market for a long time.
I was thinking of something less adventurous - a shade or two lighter than my natural very dark brown, maybe a little red in it. I did learn not to do it myself, remembering what happened last year, but I think I may need to. At least until I GET a new job ... then I could let it come back in again.

What Aimee said, Toddson.
The grocery store near me now sells Fernet Branca. It's shelved between the Jaegermeister and the ouzo, which is probably correct.

I'm completely with Aimee, Todd. Your coloring is so striking!

Heh, that sounds about right.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

That is totally correct.
Toddson, I love your haircolor, but I understand about the job-hunt thing. And yes, something a little lighter would look fantastic on you.

Your hair is so beautiful, Toddson! Talk to your stylist about how you can get back to your natural shade before you dye it, he'll probably be able to recommend a shade that will allow you to change it subtly.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I'm with Aimee on Todd's hair, too. I think it's beautiful.
If you do end up coloring it, you'll need to touch up the roots with every haircut. I get my hair done every 6 weeks (standing appt.). That includes a cut and color (typically just of my roots). Then every 3rd appt, I do all over color and highlights.
