Katie, do you still have your ponytail? You have the most gorgeous hair! (I've always been a little jealous) Mine has finally--finally! started to fade to grey a little. I'm ready to strip it to white, ITYW. But how trite would dark roots be?

I'm ready to strip it to white, ITYW.
EM decided to do this and it was a big mistake. If your hair is still holding on to color it will be loath to let it go, and you'll have to double strip your hair to get it to white. At which point it will be fried.
I've had a few coworkers with the true platinum dye job, and I always think it looks great.
Yeah, my hair's so spiderwebby fine and a lot thinner than it used to be, so I'm thinking I'll just stick to color rinses and things and avoid harsh stuff like strippers. It was a...an empty threat. An idle wish.
It's been raining unrelenting for four days and they're predicting four more. I know, PNW. But geesh, DST goes away next week... I'm never gonna see sun again.
I know, kvetch, kvetch, kvetch. Something cheery... Oh! I'm going through my tarot and culling decks/sets to sell. And finding things I'd forgotten I had! It's almost like new-to-me stuff! Better than shopping, because no money spent!
Would something like overtone silver play nice with your hair, Bev? Yay on the tarot rediscoveries, that sounds fun

I'd love some rockabilly platinum streaks, but I know I am too damn lazy to stay on top of maintenance, especially since I no longer work across the street from my salon. (I am due soon, though, for my oh-god-the-holidays-are-coming dye job highlights.)
I recently discovered Overtone (via Facebook ad, ugh) and it LOVE it.
Hmm, "via Facebook ad" probably means that Russia is responsible for my hair color.... Worth it.
One of my students (she's in her early twenties) has hair whiter than mine, although she does occasionally tint it with streaks or patches of cyan.
Beverly - I still have the ponytail and it's still white on top and chestnut on the back of my neck. It's not as thick and lush as in the days of yore, so I toy with the idea of getting a short do that will stay out of my face and be easier to care for.
The white means that when I put in a blue dye to be Zombie Marge Simpson I got a bright and shiny Supergirl color that dazzled for days of fun. Then it wouldn't wash out completely, until It finally occurred to me to use something stronger from the beauty supply place.
David,if you cut my hair, would you tap my noggin and mumble about braaaaaiiiins?
I've always hated getting my hair cut, although I would agree to sit for ZombieZenMom or David. The last time I went to DH's barber, which I prefer to the hair salon. That was over 3 years ago. Hence hair that gets caught in my armpit. Grey at the temples and one good streak at the crown, but not enough! I may never cut it again since it is probably at max length.
I'm in Otter Lake! It was 25 when I got up yesterday morning. Only 50 in the house when I got here, but 7 space heaters are doing the job well enough. I waved and sent sweet thoughts to Zen and Maria as I zoomed past them, but rushed to get up here. I actually stayed just a few miles from Zen, but got there at 3AM and thought it best not to call. eta: Drove 17N through western VA to avoid hitting DC in the morning rush. It was a lovely route.
SILs and nephews arrived this morning at 5! They are all upstairs asleep now and I have a big pot of vegetarian chili on the stove to eat with cornbread next to a bonfire in the backyard later.
