I stopped coloring my hair about a year ago and I would never do it again! This is what 54 looks like and I like it!
I have two teens and a wonderful husband who love my hair gray. My son doesn’t care if I even HAVE hair as long as I can still cook. Now – my daughter – different story. She asked me to keep coloring my hair when she started high school so I wouldn’t look like her grandmother. I did for her first two years but just got fed up with the way gray hair looks dyed. You can never get all the hairs at your temple covered it seems and after a couple of weeks, it turns a funny red color if you go with brown and fades terribly if you go with blonde. My 73 year old mother also colors her hair and keeps telling me
I look 10 years older without the dye. At this point, I just don’t care if that’s true or not. I love the gray and my husband loves it – what more matters?!
Even if I look older to some people – I don’t act it. I run with my three dogs, I knit, read a lot, love to dance, play several musical instruments and am learning Spanish. I live in an area where women don’t let their gray hair show so I can’t say I’m admired much but I have a group of women friends who have gone to moon hair and I make a point to stop women with gray hair to let them know they look great!
Ladies, keep it soft and shiny or funk it up! We look marvelous!
