Oh, I'd have had it dyed red again if I could. But as you can see from my
original rant, it won't work any more. :-( The Philly hairdresser said my
white/grey hair would soak up the red and render it a very bright, brassy
red, which I do not like at all. It's too much like 'Pink' (the lighter
shade of red) or too much like the Coca-Cola red. My first college
graduation gown was that colour and I've never recovered. :-p
