To dye or not to dye?

Actually,

I was looking for color swatches of hair, like on the boxes. It helps me construct characters. While thrashing around on a bad Google day, I found this article:

http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip095.htm

Very interesting -- the writer is a professional who is great with color, and has a list of warnings for self-application -- as in, mondo caution and a friend as maniacal about getting it right as yourself.

I really don't want to do this, but between silver hairs finally starting to show up, the LBb arthritis and the weight gain from the drugs, if I 'm going to look young enough for a job, hair touch-up is in my future.

Of course, I have someone wonderful here in town who does great color -- but we're talking $$$ for all that skill. Wish I had the $$$ for his work. I am paying him to do make-up for me for passport and driver's license photos. I look half-dead when I'm trying to look good. Not a chance I can wander in off the street and get a good snapshot.

I believe that you can go to the Clairol web site and upload a picture of yourself (at the "Try It On" Studio), and then you can change the color of your hair, using the colors of their various dyes, so you can see what you would look like with various colors.

Interesting....

Wonder if it would work with my b&w writer photo?
