It's been 9 months since I started my voyage into silver hairdom, and things could not go better (or look more awkward). I'm patiently growing my skunk-stripy long hair and now have about 3 inches of virgin salt and pepper roots and about 13 inches of oxidized dry straw :)
It sounds more horrible than it really is. I find that the awkwardness of my transition is really at its worse on day 2 hair. I found a good way to circumvent this by wearing my hair down and sleek on day 1, and on day 2 I just wear it in a high pony tail, braided pony tail, or tousled beach waves/curls (my hair is naturally wavy, so that is usually a very low maintenance style for me).
Not much else to update you on... I really steer clear of most heating tools (aside from the flattening iron every once in a while, and always set at the lowest temperature), air dry (or cold blow dry) my hair and do not use any chemical products. I only ever use organic coconut oil as an overnight hydrating mask and Ducray Nutricerat intense-nutrition daily emulsion. This product is a godsend for ultra-dry and damaged ends!
