Gray - We all are gonna have it.

I said I'd never color my hair. I was 20 something then. "There's something good about each stage of our lives, and I will never color my hair." Said the 20ish year-old without a need of doing so ... Once I began, it has been extremely difficult to not continue.

Ever seen a Cocker Spaniel escape out of the house and run, run, run like crazy? The look on his face as the wind is blowing his fur .... "Borrrnnn Freeeee"!

That's how I felt this morning. I finally, after two years of deliberation, decided to take the first step of transitioning from my very dark hair into the gray that was very quickly overwhelming my head. I've grown so weary with slapping color after color on it. That can't be good for it. Additionally, I don't want to keep aging with very, nearly black hair. How natural is that? Not at all. My gray hair is coming in at such a high speed so I decided to work with it rather than keep fighting it.

So .... the first step was today. On the left - is before (2 wks ago) and the right - is after (today). I suppose I should have taken the time to put on some makeup. :)
