Girls, I am 49 and my hair is silver/white with a little dark blended in and it's all natural. I got my first gray hair at 17, colored for years but gave up about a year or two ago. My hair grows fast and it seemed like I was coloring every 2nd or 3rd week and even though I had gone lighter it was still obvious I was coloring. So, at the nudging of my husband, I quit coloring. I was very insecure at first...I felt like it made me look so much older than I am. But...it's growing on me (pun intended!
) and the compliments I receive help me feel better about it all!
I wear it like Paula Dean wears hers and, honestly, I love the freedom of not coloring...not to mention the expense and mess of it all. My hair is naturally curly/wavey and layered all over so it styles this way very easily.
But...since my husband is quite a bit older than me and I used to be mistaken for his daughter...I'm a bit suspicious of his motives in wanting me to give up on coloring!
Whatever the reason...the gray is mine...I own it and the thought of going back to the mess and expense of it all just wears me out so...I'll keep my gray!
