I used the same old thing I've been using for years......Extra Light Beige Blonde. It's a shade or two lighter than my natural color. Plus I get the body and texture from the color that makes it more manageable.

OK. That's a pretty colour from your photos. I was going to go a darker blonde, but ended up doing something totally different.

All the gray has gone, so I feel younger if that helps.

Now I just have to think of some way that this relates to air conditioners.

Well, without AC I don't think I could have walked around the house for 30 minutes with my head wrapped in plastic!!

I'm so spoiled. I've become so accustomed to the AC that just the thought of not having it panics me! We never had it while I was growing up. We had an attic fan that kept a cool breeze blowing throughout the whole house. Of course, we had to keep our windows open. I don't remember the pollen bothering any of us back then. It seems worse now for some reason.

Some states in Oz get quite hot in the summer, and although we never had AC when we lived in those states, we always had ceiling fans. Now we don't need them!

We do have plenty of heating in this house though..... just nothing to cool us off.

78 degrees. I'll turn it down for a couple hours when the air has too much water in it.

Between 72 & 75. I turn it up a bit at night as once the sun sets it cools down outside quickly and it feels cooler inside.

I didn't get a vote as we keep ours on 80 or 82 degrees. We have a nice dry climate and a breeze nearly all the time so rarely use the ac even when temps are above 100.

We have no trees but somehow the house stays cool with just ceiling fans and a few floor fans so we are fortunate!

The desert cools at night so nice we can keep windows open to hear the coyotes sing!

We keep it at 74 here. We also have a ceiling fan in all of our rooms.

We have ceiling fans in most every room, and open the windows alot, but once the temps outside hit close to 80, I become non functional, and MUST seek shelter or sit in someone's fridge. Mine is normally set on 72, but I will lower it to keep me blasted if I am having a tough day. Once it starts heading towards 75 and above outside, I seek shade, and cooler spots, once it hits 80 I am inside, and in the dark. After that, its all shades down, curtains closed, and AC blasting.
