Glamour tip for my gray, silver, white and platinum-haired friends: go to the art supply or craft store, get a pot of pearl powder pigment, and mix some of it with your styling goo in the palms of your hands, then put it in your hair. Result: shiny, shiny shiny-ness.

My darling hairstylist, Doug, assures me that it's safe, that he does this trick for glamour styles quite often, and that crumbling cheap eyeshadow up works too.

Caution: probably best to stay away from the toxic pigments. Personally, I'd avoid anything with cadmium, cobalt or chrome in its name.



Sail on

Bona to vada your dolly old eek, palone. Your riah shusher* totally had the right idea. This picture needs to be one of your icons, STAT. The quality of light in it is extraordinary - the tones across your hair, your eyes, your cheek, your earings are so harmonious and lovely.


* Not typos: polari. It's a day for it today; it's all over the bloody place.

1. That's a gorgeous photo & fabulous hair
2. We have pretty much the same hair cut. Mine's a little shorter in the back, and your hair looks much thicker than mine, but otherwise the same
3. That's a cool styling tip that I might actually try (using something that works with dyed red hair). I don't have a comb or a hairdryer, but I do use gloop.

My MIL stopped dyeing and started shining in the past few years. I'm passing this tip along, although she'll have to tweak the delivery system because she doesn't use any product. (She's got that lovely coarse, curly hair that everyone wanted in the '70s.)
