Her hair came out of a bottle
I remember when senior ladies (then called "old ladies") only had ONE hair color: BLUE. And their gray/blue hair was styled in one generic "do".
Thank God things have changed! We are not our grandmother's generation!
An original brunette, I re-invented myself as a redhead at age 50 to compensate for loss of youth. If I were menopausal, at least I would be a BABE!
When we were kids, when we saw a redhead who was obviously not natural, we sang:
HER HAIR CAME OUT OF A BOTTLE, WHICH NOBODY CAN DENY! (sung to the tune of "For he's/she's a jolly good fellow")
This time I used "Cinnaberry" by Natural Instincts. It said it was an auburn brown shade, but it came out a rather intense auburn. It's not permanent, so after a shampoo or two, it will tame down.
Last time I wasted my money, used something by HerbaShine, also supposed to be an auburn brown, but it turned out really drab and didn't last.
This week when I go shopping, I will not be "the invisible woman", as the older woman is called in America. Love it or hate it, people will SEE ME.

Oh my I remember the blue hair! Some were really really blue! Like you I am so glad I missed out on that one! My color of choice is Ash blonde shades and I am due again but first a cut and perm on Thursday.
I am determined to never be blue, never be gray! You go girl!
