I am thinking of letting my hair go gray! I have been colouring it for years and years. I am not even sure what my natural colour would be right now..oh wait, yes gray! I have had such a battle with the colour of my hair over the years. My ideal colour would be a nice, mellow blonde. Not harsh because I have just about the whitest skin known! But, for some reason, my hair turns a shade of red when I add a blonde shade to it. "just use an ash tone, that will get rid of the red", says loads of people over the years. That just didn't work. Eventually, the ole red would come out. So, what can a girl do, but colour her hair red!! Yes, I did that just with the image of being sultry with my red locks. Colour set, rinsed, time for the big reveal. YIKES!! What had I done? I hate red hair! (no insult to those born with red hair or that happened to love red hair). I just don't like it on me for some reason. So, next would be turning it dark to bring out my blue eyes. Did I mention the darker I go with my hair, the bluer my eyes look AND the paler my skin looks, so I seem to walk around like death warmed over! Sigh.. What is a person to do? Well, one can stop colouring her hair once and for all. That is where I am at today. I did what anyone would do, and that is to consult with the experts that live in google land. They said to buy temporary colour and have it wash away gradually in 24 days. Eventually my natural colour will show through without anyone noticing. I am certainly not worried about anyone noticing my hair colour change. I have gone from red, to bright blonde to almost black in the same year! I think it is almost expected of me to change the colour of my hair every few months.
Now the question remains, will I look much older than I am, if I turn gray. (side note...I debated to spell it "grey" but it looks too funny.) I am very young at heart. Almost immature, according to my kids. I know a lot of my friends have gone the gray way and look wonderful. I think I will do the lighter, temporary colour route and see what happens. Wish me luck! And to those that have gone gray, any tips? How did you go from colouring to natural gray? I shall keep you posted.
