Who am I kidding?  This redhead is not really a redhead anymore.  My mom went gray at a young age.  Although I got my red hair from my father, I have no idea what his gray hair would have looked like since he went bald at an early age. I can only assume my hair will be close to my brother’s gray. In an effort to retain my youth, I fell into the habit that so many women get in to - coloring their hair.  I’m tired of worrying about it, and I’m tired of the damage to my hair.  Between me coloring my own hair to save money, and all the styling, my locks have taken a lick. My husband and I went to a party Saturday night, and I saw an attractive women with shoulder length GRAY hair.  She was only a few years older than me.  That is when I decided to do this.  I spoke to my husband about it this evening, and he is all for it.  Part of me was afraid of what he thought, but he was supportive.   He suggested I go with it, and accept it. So, my great friend and stylist already has a head’s up on my plan.  She will help me through it by getting the color to a place where the gray can blend in.   Wish me luck!
