Today it's time to update another pic...and that pic is of me!
Over 50% gray by the time Prince CuddleBunny came along |
Yikes! Out in public with inches of grow-out |
Short-short hair, always a favorite of mine anyway, made it easier to keep colored without getting the over-dyed look. |
I didn't feel very good about myself whenever I caught my reflection if I had gray hair. But it got to be SO MUCH WORK...and expense. And pretty impossible to keep doing at home and have it look nice for more than a couple of weeks. When gray roots came in, besides being unsightly, it looked like I was going bald. That's not a better look than all gray!
Couldn't be gray for the weddings! |
Besides, the Bible tells me gray is good.
"Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained in the way of righteousness." Proverbs 16:31
"The glory of young men is their strength, gray hair the splendor of the old." Proverbs 20:29
I gave up the hair dye within a year after the weddings. I've given you a few glimpses of the change in the last few years. |
If God says it's good, should I argue? It was still hard to accept.
Still fighting the older look, I've resorted to having my hair cut at a salon.. I've been trying to find the right style that will make the silver look like a fashion decision, rather than resignation. ;-) My own world of delusion.
This one probably doesn't really remember me with brown hair. |
And this one has never seen me any other way. |
So, here I go. The old brunette photo on the blog...
will be replaced with a more recent shot.
