The building I work in is also a place where patients are treated. It's the cardiac building where my Dad was for a long time. I see the public every day. Yesterday I went to the ladies room and I was stopped by a an older woman, mid 70s, who absolutely loved my hair color and stopped me to ask about it. I told her it was from a box (literally) and the color comes from Germany. She asked what color my natural hair was to get the red. I am a light Brillo pad (steel wool) color. Her hair was past her shoulders and the ends had 2 inches of red. She had a pretty round face and beautiful happy blue eyes. She said that she was too old for the color. I said no you can do it. You are a real redhead and it would look stunning with your eyes. She laughed and said she wasn't a real redhead, but red for a long time. I said she could always go back. Do what you want and have fun.
