Whats Important?

There is so many things going on in the world today..My hair shouldn't be on my mind like it is. but it is.  2 years ago I went natural (no perms).  I was losing hair, getting older and all. I decided to go natural, but one thing I didn't change, I still colored my hair.  Seems everyone is saying   "30 years of coloring now I tired," me too.  Being natural and taking care of my hair made my hair grow super fast and my roots started growing out overnight.  Fighting to keep my roots covered took to much of my time.

I did the big chop again. and now I'm growing my hair back without coloring.  In one way its more freedom, but to chop off my hair and be gray all of a sudden is like a shock.  I tried to let the gray grow in naturally  for about three months.  The stripes of all the faded dye was so terrible looking, one day I went to the shop and said: "chop it off ".  So I'm trying to embrace...

How to embrace my gray, when my makeup needs to change, Really...my clothes the colors clash, what to do...What are your challenges with your gray, silver, white hair...I do have many.

YESTERDAY I BOUGHT A BOTTLE OF BLUE SHAMPOO....

Its been a month since I decided to cut all 12inches of my hair off.  I'm officially GRAY.   My gray roots won.  I dyed my hair every three weeks, a mess.  My hair looked fine only for one week.  The next two weeks my roots were there, front and center..  I had to give up, kicking and screaming, not gracefully.  Really,,,I tried to let my gray grow out and blend but the white strips were scary.  People are telling me I'll get use to it, well not yet.

Anyone out there had to ditch the dye and go natural and did or didn't really feel graceful. I say this because I've seen the articles and the   famous people who went gray and now loving it.  Well, I not loving it, but I'm trying.
