Bless you jacqueline - I hope you are OK.
I am growing out my hair after years of highlights and bleach. My natural hai colour is really nice I am amazed to see, I always thought it was mousy, but it is all shade of honey blonde. It looks a lot better than the brassy blonde.
Mind you when I start going grey I will whack the bleach on again.
As long as I don't lose the plot and have a short and 'funky' spiky hair cut a la Sharon Osbourne I won't mind.
