Whenever I want to change something, no matter what it is , it happens the same way: I employ the jumping-into-freezing ocean-water-fast approach otherwise I’d never do it.
When I decided to let go of my ‘signature’ brunette hair that I’d been coloring for decades (actually I was tired of the having to do it and the expense, the color was fine.) I lasted about 3-months in the grow-out phase before I pixied my own hair one Sunday night (remarkably easy, just follow the white line 😂) That was 4 years ago, and my new signature look: white hair.
I have another signature I’ve had since my twenties that I’ll never give up: red lipstick, forever and always ❤️ 💄
That’s a great question, Sari! I wear a lot of Nars shades, I like their lipsticks and they have fun names (right now I’m wearing “Bad Reputation” 😂) darker reds in winter, lighter in summer - like a wardrobe of lipsticks. I wore Revlon when I was in my twenties, colors like ‘Cherries in the Snow”. I have to look up a company I bought a bunch of fun barrettes from, I’ll post here when I find it.
Even within a “signature” there’s room for nuance 😂
The barrettes I bought were from Banana Papaya, they’re mentioned in this article with a bunch of other fun barrettes. Have a good time experimenting with your bang grow out, Sari! 😃 Here’s the link:
May I add that every one of the lipsticks I have adored and were just the right color for my skin tone has been discontinued —thanks to Clinique and Estee Lauder (both owned by Estée Lauder I believe). Just learned that my newest fav from Mineral Fusion has also been given the axe. Sigh... I'll check out Nars—thanks!
Jolene, I love the white!!! I know (from genetics) that I will long have my brunette locks, and the grey “wings” will continue to expand as the years pass. I refuse to color it because there are only 24 hours in a day. While your look is my ideal, I’ll try not to covet thy hair and be content with my own!

Love it. Do you stick with the same color of red, same brand?

Love the "wardrobe of lipsticks."

Thank you!
One last thing: your bangs look great on you. I also love Normal Kamali’s bangs, another amazing signature look.
Thank you! I imagine I'll eventually go back to them.
Have fun!
As do I!

Hi Joan! I really like Nars, let me know what you think! 💄

Holly, thank you so much! My Mom had the same white hair, so she was an inspiration. Love grey wings! 😃
