It took over a year but I’m finally nearing the end to my “hair situation”.
I like to change my hair style often. Cut it, colour it, style it, you name it.
However it costs an arm and a leg. As I’ve been growing grey since 19, I’ve been dyeing it consistently since then. My mind boggles to think just how much chemicals have been absorbed into my scalp but never mind…
Today at the hairdresser, I asked for a concave bob and a toner to tone down the brassy blonde highlights and it got my hair looking all salt and pepper. I had been worried about going all grey because well, lost youth and some such but the more I look at it, the more I’m getting accustomed to it and loving it.
It means of course I have to change all my profile pics. Again.

looks great! just call them silver highlights! (also, oddly, the picture shows in inoreader (my rss reader, but not in the blog itself … just in case it was supposed to…) .

Thanks Marika. I have no idea what’s happening there. I use Jetpack app on my mobile phone to do all my blogging (just easier). Maybe it has something to do with that? Who knows! Hope you are happy, healthy and well. Has the snow melted? You must be looking forward to some better weather and spring.

You look fantastic. But then I’m biased having gone grey in my thirties and now having practically white hair.

Thank you! Admittedly I had gone grey a few years back but didn’t keep it for long before I hit the dye bottle. Mentally, I wasn’t ready. I think for women, it’s a big thing to finally decide “this is it”. It’s not just the colour of the hair, it’s the realisation that it’s a turning point in life. I struggled with it. However, I think this time it will be different. I’m coming to terms with it. It also helps seeing lots of wonderful ladies who rock it with grey hair. I want to be them. ?
