I'm in a colored stage now, and it's looking tired and, well, like it needs a break. I always get compliments when I wear it naturally. What's wrong with us???<br /><br />Great post!!♥ Boomer ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/11304000268484230167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406187896474319609.post-6433389508577493562009-07-02T21:43:41.336-05:002009-07-02T21:43:41.336-05:00Hey, you wonderful people!

But natural hair can be every bit as attractive and, as Rudee says, you can always cover it up again if you don't like the look!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861397533660827678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406187896474319609.post-22096333890716314332009-07-01T19:39:31.368-05:002009-07-01T19:39:31.368-05:00She's fortunate her hair was a snowy white.

And how sweet that she wore it so proudly. <br /><br />Glittery as a blingee?<br /><br />My strands of gray don't bother me so much for the change of color but for the odd texture.

My mom didn't go grey until she was in her sixties and my dad's hair stayed its natural colour for a very long time as well.<br /><br />Having said that, if I were to go grey, I think I would just leave it to do its thing. I'm not one for fuss.

I've been covering the gray hair since my son was little and people mistook me for his grandmother. Never mind that I was at 42 old enough to be a grandmother I wasn't ready for that role. Now 20 years later I'm still doing it but wondering whether to go natural. Rudee's comment inspired me to seriously think about it.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449827163911239893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406187896474319609.post-20250219905902136762009-07-01T08:07:20.760-05:002009-07-01T08:07:20.760-05:00Well, I'm all for being natural.

You have to look close to see the strands of gray around my temples.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406187896474319609.post-34271827289798113872009-07-01T08:07:04.988-05:002009-07-01T08:07:04.988-05:00On June 28th last year, I wrote about this very th...On June 28th last year, I wrote about this very thing. By late fall, I cut off every last bit of color. Kathleen, it was the most liberating thing I've ever done. Inspired by me, my sister did the same. We talk about it all the time because like you, we were blessed with good gray hair.<br /><br />Consider this: it's only paint. If you hate it, you can paint over the result. The amount I save is huge and allows me to spend that money on things more enduring. I keep it cut in a stylish short do and put my makeup on every day. I don't look old and decrepit.

I'm in constant hair envy. I, on the other hand, have hair that wants to be patchy gray. Sparsly spread out like clover in a field. Not enough to make it to salt and pepper status, just enough to hear "Ah, you're going gray." My dad didn't go gray until he entered his seventies, and NOW (go figure) the eye drops he uses for his glaucoma is causing his hair to thicken, grow, and become a darker, wavier silver...it's gorgeous!<br /><br />Yes, I have hair envy.Alex the Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13516151350022189691noreply@blogger.com
