Diane, I think the effect worked, though as you say, it makes the figure look a little plastic. I do have to say, you had me worried as I read the line, ".. and then overlaid my scanned 'grey hair' onto .." until I realized you meant a scanned PHOTO of your head. Wheew, I had this mental image of you with your head pressed against the scanner bed. Anyhoo .. if it helps, you're not the only one with grey hair. Mine has been for years now. Though I will admit, mine is a tad longer than yours. :) Be well
