Does your hairdresser have you sit under a dryer to heat your hair and make the color develop faster? That heat has caused my hair to frizz and break off, so now I just wait at room temperature until I'm "done." Does your hairdresser keep checking your hair every couple of minutes to make sure it's not overprocessing? Natural Instincts is a home product that works reasonably well to temporarily cover grey, is not harsh and comes with a good deep conditioner. BTW, biotin has made my hair (and nails) grow faster, but it hasn't given me more hair. My thyroid hormone was found to be low, which is a common problem, and the replacement hormone I take now has given me a bit more hair -- might be worth checking.

You do look great! And so does the little one! I've been having a similar problem with my hair. I've been trying to go lighter the last couple times I colored. Last time I used "light golden brown" but my hair keeps turning out darker than I want and darker than my natural color when I color it. It looked very close to your shade when I last colored it and I was going for "light golden brown". I never had problems before. I called Nice N Easy to see what was going on. They told me I was actually overprocessing my hair so it was going darker, not lighter. I have to admit, I didn't really understand what they were saying but it was suggested that next time I just focus on my roots for a shorter time and run the color through the last five minutes. I had been leaving the color on for the maximum time, so I'm guessing maybe a shorter time would have been better. Maybe you could put a call into Clairol. If they tell you anything interesting, please post back. Thanks. Good luck although I think that color looks really good on you. You're young and can handle a darker color. I need some lighter tones considering my age! I asked about putting hi-lights in but she told me I couldn't do that because you couldn't color over them. Really? Didn't know that... Anybody else ever hear of that? I'm pretty clueless about hair and thinking I really need to just fit in the time to get to a salon and let someone else mess up my hair! Good luck to you.

I am dressing my DS)9) as a UPS man this year. I bought brown cargo shorts and a brown button down shirt at Childrens Place. Got a brown UPS cap on clearance at K Mart months ago for $1.20 (thats what inspired me). I already have the perfect size Amazon box for him to flip open for candy as he says "trick or treat". His eyeglasses turn dark in the light so they will look like sunglasses I think. All I need is to get short brown socks and to figure out an easy way to make a UPS logo for the shirt. hmmm....as for Grant, it reminds me of when my daughter was 2. She cried and carried on not wanting to wear the hat to her lion costume. In our pictures inside, she is not wearing the hat, but once she got outside in the stroller to trick or treat I was able to put the hat on while she stared at costumed kids. She didn't even seem to care anymore. The following year she was a clown and I painted her blond hair with pink hair mascara. It came out nice-no hat needed. You could probably get Grant some caped kid pjs at Target. They used to carry Superman and Batman, I think they still do. I had to buy them in 2 sizes because my son and daughter both liked to wear them. Does Grant like any particular characters?? He'd be a cute Bob The Builder! Someone mentioned a mailman-when my other daughter was in 1st grade they had Career Day. She dressed as a 'mailgirl' and delivered her homework in a priority mail envelope LOL!! I like the scarecrow idea! Thats not something you normally see.

We got it. Whew!
