Long, originally dark brown, now more grey than brown. Except when it's dyed Plum, which it has been rather a lot the past 10 months or so! Right now it needs redoing as I am definitely into "roots showing with russet overall" and it's not a great look afro

I'm currently sporting my natural dark brown / grey mix and letting it grow a little before having it cut properly. Though I'm tempted to keep it shaven and buy a wig for when I go out, as I hate my hair. It's thin, hard to control, quite grey and never looks the way I want it to!

Have you tried dying the grey bits all different colours?! They're effectively already bleached - directions dye (the one in the little pots you can get from hippie shops) works really well on grey hair Smile

Oooh, no I haven't, but thanks I might try that!

Directions dye is amazing.

it is indeed - stains like crazy though. Vaseline round the hairline is a must with directions.

Manic Panic is even better. The bluey directions ones seem to fade far faster (at least on me)

I fancy purple or green. I'll have to have a mooch for some of these. Smile
