Hair Color Question - Help!!
Comments (6)Glad you are happy with your results Renee. However, your hair is being double processed. That means that two chemical treatments are being done on the hair rather than one. The same thing can be accomplished using a weave and applying the two colors at once. This way your hair is only being treated one time instead of two. If the stylist knows what they are doing it turns out beautiful and there will be perfect blending and no color bleeding. It can't be done with a cap. A couple things. First hair does darken with age and if you were blonde it most likely has taken on a gray tone before it turns gray. That tone in the hair can make it LOOK darker than it actually is. Also, when we start to gray or go ashy the blond sometimes needs a little help witht he additional color. Often two tones in the hair as your stylist is doing are much prettier....See Morequestion regarding dying Subzero fridge
Comments (10)I am facing a similar but more expensive decision, and I'd appreciate any opinions. We have a 20-year-old SZ 532 built-in (covered by panels that match the rest of the kitchen--and we've been told it will be hard to fit these panels to any new machine). The refrigerator compressor is leaky and so the temperature can start to get unstable in the frig. The freezer compressor works better but also apparently leaks a little. We've had the compressors recharged (total cost about $300) a couple of times and that has stablized the situation (it lasted for about a year this last time), but the repair people tell us they aren't supposed to keep doing this for a leaky compressor. Oh, and the icemaker stopped working last year. I don't actually care about this all that much, because I didn't really like the shape of the cubes anyway, but I suppose if we were going to repair the compressors we might as well fix the icemaker too. So the total cost of the repair, if I replace both compressors, might approach $2500 or even more. We bought the house about 5 years ago so I don't know the history of how this unit was used before then. However, the repair guy did mention that it has a few minor non-SZ parts, so it was evidently repaired at some point in the past. So at some point in the next year or two we will probably be facing the decision whether to fix or replace. I wouldn't consider throwing so much money at a 20-year-old appliance (especially one that I haven't owned since it was new) except that I keep reading hair-raising stories about the problems people have with the newer (electronic) Sub Zeros, and the consistent advice that the older (mechanical) ones are the best refrigerators out there, not to mention that replacing the frig may lead to a wholesale kitchen remodel. The repair guy claims that the repaired machine will be much quieter as well as more energy efficient, but of course his job is to sell me an expensive repair. Does anyone have experience with a major repair like this on an old SZ unit? Is it really worth it? Or should we just suck it up and buy something new, knowing that it probably won't fit the existing panels? Thanks for any advice....See MoreWhen you dye your hair do you...
Comments (25)Thanks for responding Tami. I don't like to put anyone on the spot or sound demanding. Thanks Stacy, I did not know that about them having peroxide in them. I've Googled and Googled and get conflicting writing. Some say Cello is for vibrant color and some say it is subtle. Some say cover gray and some say it will take to gray differently than the rest of the hair. The sales people are no help even in the professional retail outlets. I had one experience with Cellophane in a salon in the 80s. The hairdresser and I communicated well. The owner came over and tried to tell her she was doing it all wrong and to make a long story short my hair came out Ronald McDonald orange instead of burgundy. The hairdresser seemed irked with the owner and was mum about it. I was horrified with the results but the owner insisted it was perfect. I went back to complain since my job told me they were going to fire me unless I got rid of it (as if I liked it any better than they did). They couldn't get it all out and tried numerous things. I had faded dull orange hair until it grew out. Despite that experience, I was thinking that if I did it myself I could do a good job of it. I just want the gray to blend in better and I thought a translucent color would do it. I tried researching it. I was thinking of a cool blond color to match my highlights....See MoreQuestion for Hair Stylists or those who Quit Coloring
Comments (23)I stopped at 52 - now 54 and while the sides are turning it is still dark underneath. As I was getting my hair done for thanksgiving I decided that I could better use that $200 for other things - that I would really enjoy ( I hated the time and $$ I spent on getting it colored) My hairdresser was not happy about my decision but I am thrilled. I did just let it grow out - and I am the first one to admit my hair is better for it. It looks and feels so much better and fuller. It is grey, not white which I think makes many women look older. I don't understand why you couldn't just let it grow out - does anyone think that everyone else can't tell you color your hair. You and get a semi permanaent color put on - it will wash out. But that way you can wait until it is at a length you can cut it to - or not.. as we get older your hair color should lighten it looks more natural -...See MoreRita / Bring Back Sophie 4 Real
