Hair advice from the graying Bitches, please? The spiffy new haircut is really putting all my gray on vivid display and I'm feeling a desperate need to do something before my job interview next Wednesday. There's no room in the budget for a proper salon visit, which I know is the best option for dark hair with visible gray, so it's going to have to be something from the drugstore. Suggestions for any brands that do a dark brown or dark red that'll cover up the gray for more than a few days?
Occasionally I'm callous and strange.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

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

Do you want it perm or semi-perm? I've found Herbal Essences to be the nicest, but you might also be able to get away with the Freida Color Glazes, that don't dye at all but leave color on your hair.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Happy birthday, SA! Though I'm still all woe-betided that you won't be in SF on this trip. By the time you meet Matilda she's going to be a total small person, not a rosy little baby. Still adorable and lovable and yum, but not baby yum.
Aw, I know! This is the first time I get to meet the Bean too, and she's all toddlery and stuff. I just have to live vicariously through pictures, and maybe next year do California again.
Awwww. We need pictures of you cutieheads too.
I have strong prescience that that may well occur tonight.
ION, it is raining like mad crazy here. I couldn't hear it over the air conditioner, but then a freaking Thor-sized thunderbolt rang throughout the hills and I was all WTF? And thus saw that the sky was falling.

All is well that ends in pizza.
car~ma for Andi and Daniel.
Thanks for all the car~ma, everyone. I got my Caprice squad car out of mothballs, and although it needs an exhaust manifold, exhaust repair, cosmetic repair, and the tranny is a bit sticky, it ran like a dream to work and back.
Also, my cousin Steve (who is muuuch better now, for those who remember my talking about him) says it might not be a thrown rod, but something inside the engine that is cheaper to fix. Full eval this weekend.

Many thanks to JZ for lending me her cunning hat. It was quite the hit.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
JZ, I use Herbal Essences semi-perm. If you get a color slightly darker than your own (or leave it on a little longer) it'll come out darker and the color will "soften" but it won't wash out as quickly. I use the dark brown. I have about 50% gray and it covers it nicely.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Pretty juliana!
JZ, I've used the Clairol Natural Instincts as a semi-perm (Plei is gonna correct me because it's really a demi and she's right.) and it works nicely. Bits of gray are just starting to show through as highlights and I did mine a few weeks ago. The gray definitely pokes through first. The rest of my hair will likely keep the color another couple months.
Though I'm still all woe-betided that you won't be in SF on this trip.And the irony? I will be in the Bay Area for a few days while SA is "here".
