When the gray color is yellow-tinged,

that's when it can look good to use that blueing treatment. If you overdo it you end up with blue or lilac hair, but in the right dose it can effectively take out the yellow and give a more pleasing shade of gray or white.

Do you have a yellow cake mix?
You could do a pineapple upside down cake. Add about 5 tablespoons melted butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar to the pineapple. Spread on the bottom of a well-greased baking dish, pour the cake batter over it. You could even go crazy and add a dash of rum to the pineapple before you bake it.
Our neighbors used the yellow caution tape
and I thought it was a very clever idea. Their house looks great. Myabe depending on the area you live in. We are in a new housing development and they are at the end of a cul-de-sac.
Help me find a yellow rain slicker
I kid you not. My 20 yo son has asked for a yellow rain hat and slicker for Christmas. He's always been a bit... ummm .... eccentric. He has shown me a picture, and it really looks like the Gorton's fisherman.
On the practical side, my son is majoring in meteorology, so I guess this could be useful one day and more than just a strange fashion statement.
So, does anyone know where I can find something like this for a 6' tall, 190-pound young man?

Going Gray
It is so nice to see this new board! I came here this morning with a non-MT question so it's a wonderful coincidence...I've been coloring my hair for 30 years, starting when I was 28 years old--to cover premature gray. Now have decided to just let it go, because of the time, expense and harshness to my hair and scalp. I think I must be about 80% gray/white, with some dark brown still in the back. It's short--bottom of the ear length. What is the best way to transition from those with a similar experience? Thanks so much--
re: gray
My hubby doesn't like my gray hair either, but I am sick of coloring it too. He saw an ad for keeping your color longer, I told him, "Yeah just let the gray grow out and then it won't be a problem." hehe...he wasn't happy...I'm about halfway there and my gray is nice and white and so at 43, I don't mind. I think I earned it!
Yes, it's fun. I waited until I had a little gray,
and after my niece started going brunette from her dark blond, and it looked pretty good. My natural shade is a dark greenish brown, and my skin looks better with just a hint of red in a dark brown. It changes with time, but just looks more natural over time, since it gets closer to the color of the roots growing in. My picky older sister thinkgs it looks good, and even my hairdresser likes it.
Has anyone purposely gone gray
I'm contemplating on not coloring my hair anymore. I've been buying "Natural Instincts" which is suppose to be less chemicals, but I really hate putting any chemicals on my hair. Also, tired of coloring my hair in within 2 days the sides right around my ears are once again gray (no matter what brand I use). So just wanted to know if anyone has gone natural gray and how long does it take. Seems like I go through these ups and downs. When I first start turning gray is when I decide I'm not going to color but then as I get more gray my hair looks brittle and I just start to look more "haggish" so I give in to the box. If you have gone gray do you have any suggestions/products you particularly like over others.
same in my family. gray comes in late
My mom is in her 70's and only has gray streaks in the front. My paternal grandmother was 88 when she passed away, and she still had mostly black hair. I've always said the same thing about dying gray hair! I'm going to wait until it's mostly gray and then try out some funky colors!
Did you like Gray's Anatomy this week?
We tape it, so I'm not even sure what day it's on, but I finally saw it.
I enjoy parts of the show, despite so many of the characters and their story lines being so maddeningly illogical and annoying.
Meredith - Get over yourself and get to know your sister, you dolt.
Derek: You are too good for Meredith.
Chief: Why did you do it? Callie is a newlywed in a mess, while Bailey can make her own decisions and handle anything.
George and Alex - Much improved hair. Thank you.
Christina - Do try to actually teach something.
Izzie - You just can't be normal, can you?
That's all I have to say about that.
I believe we read the John Gray books because that was what was out then, but -
I think Dr. Phil's books are better and more practical. We got the relationship book when it came out to see if there was anything else we could work on. Go to counseling and REALLY work on it. It will work if you give it a chance (for the most part). I will tell you there were couples in our class who were FAR worse off than we were who said at the end they never felt closer. Not sure where they are at now, but I know for a fact my hubby and I have never been closer or happier. Remember, put as much effort into your anger, resentment, etc., as you do into cultivating a good relationship. Most of the time men are clueless the little things they do harden our hearts to them and are very open to doing what it takes to make us happy once they find out what we want and need. Good luck to you. :-)
Desperate Housewives....and about Gray's Anatomy

It was legalized, but since it's kind of a gray area
and the federal government hasn't legalized it, medical marijuana establishments occasionally get shut down. Never could understand it. I really don't see why it's illegal. Even though I don't use it myself (just don't like smoking - period), I have no problem with my friends using it. I would prefer, of course, that they not drive a car while under the influence, but when it comes to how it affects them, it certainly doesn't make them mean, the way alcohol does to people. So especially when it comes to someone who is sick or in pain, or has lost their appetite, I think by all means they should have access to use pot to help them feel better. If it's legal for a doctor to pump them full of steroids, narcotic pain-killers, and highly toxic anti-cancer drugs, the use of a little pot to help them get through all that, or better still, do WITHOUT some of the pain meds or appetite stimulants, seems like such a non-issue. I wish our government would focus its attention on things that actually MATTER.
the Lord John Gray books
I read the first one but haven't read the 2 that she published this year (waiting for the paperback versions). It wasn't as good as Outlanders but still pretty decent. Mainly a mystery that I had a hard time following at first with a bit of LJG's (ahem) personal charateristics thrown in, if you know what I mean.

Hi, sorry about your hair. Try this first: Shampoo your hair with a fairly stripping shampoo (Prell is best, but who knows where you can buy it these days, so opt for that other green shampoo called Pert. Shampoo in and let it stay on for about five minutes and then rinse. Your hair should be much lighter. In a long-ago time before I did this I was a hairdresser and a colorist. Your best bet if that does not do the trick is find out who to go to in your area who does good corrective work. There is a professional product out now that really works and does not strip or damage hair. It can even remove black. You need a good colorist to apply this. Afterward you can have them reapply a color that works with your skin color. The best way to find someone is to look around wherever you go. When you see a really beautiful color that looks natural ask who their colorist is and try to get an appointment. One thing to add, I have had mine done recently (color removal) and it came out beautifully, but it was over $300.00. It was a small price to pay for me because I had colored my hair Sharon Osborne red and my natural color is blonde. It looked good on Sharon, but on me was a total disaster! Good luck and remember to stay away from "temporary" color products from over-the-counter, read all labels carefully, and stay away from metals in the list of ingredients. If you get it straightened out it is not too costly to go in and have your hair done by a colorist every 3-4 weeks as touch-ups are fairly cheap.
Just went and got a cut and color for $35.00
Haircuts alone are $18.00. I used to go to an upscale salon near where I worked and spent about $75 for cut and color. I find that I lik the job the new salon does for half the price.
$40, color and cut and IN MY HOME YET.....
However, if you get in your car and drive to any salon here in nicer S. Florida neighborhoods - you'll pay through the teeth.
Of course I tip her above the $40 she charges me for the cut and color....*S*
hair color sm
Had beautiful brown hair with natural red highlights, talked into blond highlighting, now go every 3 mos for cut and color but prices are being ridiculously increased to over $110 for this service, $45 for the cut and $65 for partial - more for full highlight. I am scared to do this alone, as I don't want to look like a "skunk" and the highlighting makes me feel better, as I'm getting older. Another subject - as you get older, people treat you like you're taking up space on the planet - rude. I don't intend to go gray. Is keeping the brown and putting in my onw highlights a fairy tale, is it that difficult? Can't imagine how I'll see in the mirror to do it alone!!! Can't afford it anymore. I think the stylist is planning to raise her prices and it will be over $150 for the whole head!

See what color other bridesmaids are wearing, all should be same. Beige or cream color is a good choice. Gold/silver better choice for evening & not at golf course.

Makes me feel like gagging every time I hear it
In NJ and $35 for a cut, $85 for color and over $100 for highlights, but
it can get higher depending on how many highlights. I stopped that for a while, but had to go back to just get a few on the top and sides as my color was so blah. I tip her 20% because she also washes my hair and gives a nice massage with my feet up. She also will get me coffee, water or magazines if I want them.
It's a color that's associated with sunshine.

DH has to wear red to work now, and I wear a lot also. For warm loads I usually add one of the oxygen products or else color-safe bleach, and for cold I add bleach for colors.
I can't use regular bleach on whites because even if I rinse the load twice, DH itches terribly.
Correction on hair color
Just read back, it should say, "I don't want to look like a skunk." The message somehow got changed and is unintelligible (donsunk)

Toning down hair color
Somewhere I read you should add baking soda to your shampoo once a month to control product buildup. I wanted to try it, but I was using my Nizoral shampoo, so I didn't want to mess with that. So instead I added it to my cream rinse. Rinsed as usual.
I no longer have the brassy stripe of hair in the back; it neutralized the process some fancy hairdresser had done (after I told him to be sure he didn't get any highlighter on that area because it would get too light). Baking soda fixed his goof!
How cool is that. No more highlights for me.
no, they don't ou ever see a *horse* change color?
Wannie: You have said you married and divorced your DH x3....I can just imagine what a roller coaster that must have been. So, how did YOUR *horse* change colors? *curious* ...via therapy? Intense therapy would have done it - that's the only way....
But then if I married the same dude x3 - I would never tell the world it wasn't working out (if it truly wasn't working out).....goes along with my belief of 3 strikes and yer out.......
perhaps not for you, but for most........perhaps you just *lucked* out...and that's GREAT if he truly turned the corner and remained turning the corner....it's just one never hears that any longer...
Best of luck!!
On the subject of hair color... (sm)
Not to hijack your post, but does anyone know what will easily remove hair color from the skin? My hairstyle is very short and I always end up with color stains on my neck, ears and forehead. The remover they use in the salon doesn't do a good job. I've tried alcohol, shampoo, and even a Shout wipe! Any other suggestions?
question about hair color, please sm
I know there is a post below regarding hair color and highlights. My question is, I colored and highlighted my hair and I don't like it. Is there something out there you can put on your hair or wash through your hair to take this color out (without going to a hairdresser)? I did a lighter color for my hair (my hair is naturally medium brown with a lot gray). I got some sort of blonde color and that turned out ok, but then i highighted it and i have like bleach blonde looking highlights and I just don't think it looks natural. I think i just want my natural brown/gray look. I've been reading about the dangers of hair color and after reading, I think I just want to be natural.
Thanks!
Has anyone used this type of hair color?? sm
Henna is the name of it. It's supposed to be all natural organic hair color. Here's the web site. Just wondered if anyone has ever tried it.

I went with a custom color I made....
If you click on 'customize' it brings up this color wheel sort of thing. I just scrolled around until I found something that was both soothing on the ol' eyeballs and tickled my fancy. I would up going with like a periwinkle blue/gray/violet combination and it so purdy...makes me smile when I type.
That is great! What color is your pekinegese?
I used to have 1 when I was younger, pure white when I got him. So many really good animals now for little of nothing. Congratulations on your new family member.
not my favorite color for houses
but I really have bigger problems to worry about
My mom painted hers a soft gold color
in the family room, and it looks great. If you have built-in cabinets in the same room, sometimes you'll see contrasting colors used for the inside back, and that can look interesting.
I pay $40.00 for a haircut, color and to get my eyebrows done. She charges $30.00, but I pay her $4

Question on home hair color
I color my gray with at-home hair color. I have brown hair and used one that was too dark, waited a couple of weeks and used a light brown which showed on the box that it would lighten hair by three shades. It did nothing.
Should I go with a dark blonde to lighten my hair? I have no clue about this stuff. I just want my hair to be medium brown, not dark brown. 
I have the opposite problem - my color lightens up.
I was fine when I could get this sable color that Clairol had, but I'm not finding it anymore. I let some new guy highlight my hair last summer, and I finally got that ugliness covered with the latest color I put on. It started out burgundy and a bit too purple, but now it's lightened up a lot. I don't have a whole lot of gray, but enough to show, and my natural shade of brown is sort of green with a couple of wide lighter natural highlights. Even though I told the hair guy not to get any lightener on those, he did. You've never seen so many different colors on one head until I finally got that mess covered. I like my $9 color job better than his $100 job.
You wearing a bra ? What kind of underwear and color ?
