I am (not) dyeing to see how it looks!
Woman in the Middle | December 29, 2013I decided to stop dyeing my hair, and it is all because of Wheel of Fortune. I was at the gym doing my 20 minutes on the recumbent bike, watching Wheel of Fortune on the TV screen above my head. It was couples week and one of the women who looked to be in her 50s had hair that was au natural. It inspired me. The next day I had my regular cut and color appointment and I told Candy (my awesome hairdresser) to skip the color!
I have been contemplating this for a while now. I am 52, folks. I get tired of spending the time and money on the hair color. In order in minimize the obvious regrowth Candy and I had settled on a very light blond anyway. So I was just one step away from a snowy top. I see lots of women who have let their hair go grey or while and I think it looks great. So what the heck, in 2014 I am embracing the real me, at least from a hair standpoint!
However, you may be reading another blog post in four or six months telling you how I stopped embracing the real me. We shall see….
I hope you’re happy with your new “do”. Be sure to post pictures!
The grays and wrinkles came sooner than I expected. (I’m 50) I call them grays of grace and wrinkles of wisdom. Wear them proudly.
Good luck. I like it on some women but my hair is a light brown/dark blonde. It does not look good with gray streaks and I would not be a beautiful snowy white. Guess it’s Clairol for me.
Well, look at Jamie Lee Curtis; she let her hair go gray and wears it spiky.
