I Ditched the Hair Dye

Hello, my name is Rose, and I've never been happier with my new hairdo!

Oh my goodness, what a difference a dye makes! Seriously, this was truly a no-brainer, and I am sorry it took me so long to figure it out. As my daughter said when she saw me, "What is there not to love about it?" A simple, short, to-the-point statement, but oh-so-true.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways: Now when I work out, I don't have to worry about the hair dye coming off on the gym sweat towel. Now I don't have to worry about the gray showing around my temples and me trying to hide it.  No more fuss, expense or time lost at the salon.  New eye makeup, fun new earrings and the most rewarding of all... I've never felt more comfortable and confident. It tells people, this is who I am and I love it!

So, if you are considering ditching the dye, go for it, ladies--and while you are at it, get a new hairdo. I did. By the way, men love it and I get compliments from young and not so young men all the time. My husband loves it. A total stranger waited for me to walk up to the grocery store from the parking lot just to tell me how stunning my hair looked. That never happened to me during the 19 years I dyed my hair! Come on ladies and get on board, you will love the ride.

I lost my brown curls during chemotherapy. My hair grew back to a silvery salt + pepper which I just love! I keep it slightly curly, just a light blow dry and some mousse for definition. Find a good stylist for a precision cut - try to avoid the poodle cut with grey hair. I reviewed many magazines before I found the right cut. The difference is amazing and I don't plan on using hair color again.

I am going au natural at 46. I'm tired of coloring my hair, it's just not fun anymore. I have been doing it since I was in my 20s just because I didn't like my natural color. My natural color is very dark and I always went pretty light, so there was a definite "line" between the old and new colors. To go au natural, I picked a color that was very close to my natural color and will just be letting it grow and hopefully I selected carefully enough that the "line" will be mostly invisible.

Personally for me, I'm not wanting to look younger. More like being comfortable and confident with myself at age 60 in one month. I pay more attention to my makeup, jewelry and clothes now than I did before. My only regret is the photo I posted. I rushed to get this posted. oh well. If more.com allows I certainly would not mind posting a better photo of me. If not, you'll just have to take my word for it.lol....
