I have never been one that has spent a lot of time, effort or money on their physical appearance.  Hair cuts, once a year. face cream (when I remember) and at home pedicures when I need them cause things have gotten so bad.

And, only once in my life, have I ever dyed my hair.

But yesterday, as the hubs and I gazed longingly into each others eyes, he suddenly held me at arms length and said “Wow, the grey is REALLY starting to take over”

And it is. It really really is.

It is getting so grey that you can now notice it in pictures, not just when you get all up close and in my face,

It is silver, and glows brightly in the light. Or when its dark. It is basically there, like a beacon, glowing all the time.

It must age me, grey usually does, and I’m not sure if that means I look my age or I look much OLDER than my age.

But, I still don’t know if I want to actually do anything about it?

The upkeep, I despise that. The constant appointments, the growing out, the roots showing. Oh, and the feeling your hair gets when you dye it. Even after that first time I did it, my hair suffered. It grew slower, was thinner and dry.

But, all the GREY.

So much grey.

So, the question today: Do I embrace my silver flashes or fight back and quiet them?  Do I take this huge step into processing my locks, or just maintain the au natural look that I have been owning for 41 years?

And what happens if I DO start to dye it and want to stop?  Image the shock you will all get when suddenly I am completely grey, vs the gentle adjustment you are experiencing now.

HELP!!

Ladies of the silver streaks, hidden or obvious, what would you recommend?
