Intro

Hello. I hate posting intros, as I always feel a bit silly ... kind of like "Ta da! It's ME!" But since I've been lurking here since July 2003 (embarrassing, but true) I thought it was about time.

I'd prefer to let myself be known gradually, through my posts, if that's okay. But as for the basics: I started at 17" in June 2003, and am currently at 23". I've had four GM treatments/trims during those 15 months. My hair type is 2b, normal ponytail thickness but fine (there's a lot of it).

My natural haircolor is a really ugly dark ash brown which I've highlighted for the past 15 years. However, I started going gray last year at an astonishing rate, and my silvery gray hairs clashed with my warmer highlights. My family (on both sides) goes silver gray, which I think is just beautiful, so I've gone natural since June. I'm probably about 30-40% gray right now. Unfortunately, my hair isn't particularly beautiful at the moment (it's a combination of graying roots with brassy looking ends), but I prefer to focus on the final result.

This seems like a really great community, and I hope I'll fit in.

Tracie

Re: Intro

Hi Tracy, welcome! I am another silver/white person. My 'other' colour is a mix of browns with a lot of red in it. I think it would be called chestnut maybe. My silver/white is all in front, mostly around my face, and depending on how it combs out looks like stripes sometimes, which can be pretty cool looking. I like the look, it used to look just like it was frosted.

So, welcome, glad you're here!

Re: Intro

Welcome Tracie!

So glad you decided to de-lurk.
How do you like the GM treatments? Wow 4 of them so far? Tell me more. My dream day includes a trip to a GM salon. Can't wait. It'll be a long time before I catch up to your four tho. Did the first one make a difference?
