I got a haircut recently, and I’ve decided my journey with letting my natural hair color grow in is coming to an end. One more cut and I think L’Oreal #5AR will be gone. See ya’, warm medium brown. Welcome, 15 shades of gray. From this angle, people have asked me if I’m highlighting my […]

I spent a week at the beach in NC with six great sister-friends, and I realized all but one were not coloring their hair. This surprised me, as my housemates and I were, within five years or so, the same age. I was impressed with Mary’s naturally curly mop. I love this do. The curls, […]

I got new glasses this week and spoke to the woman who helped me about her beautiful white hair. Her name is Terri. She used to dye her hair, until a […]

I’ve been thinking about something for about six months – a decision that, on the surface, seems easy to make. However, because of society’s standards, I’ve wavered. On some days, I’m sure I want to make this change. On other days, it seems…well, unacceptable. Or, at least unwise. I mentioned to a friend the other […]
