Not by choice. I have always had a stray gray hair or two. The odd strand hidden within my dark hair wasn't a big deal. At 15, it seemed to me that is was a sign of maturity. Now, at 38, they have started coming in clumps. Within the last few months, I've noticed an increase in the visible glinty silver hairs.
I've tried to hold off the feelings of vanity but, I seem to be losing that battle. I look in the mirror and see the glinting of my old lady future.
So, I am going to dye my hair, again. I've done it before but I did it for fun. This is a new plan, a new direction and new batch of dye.
Should I go for something a little funky like eggplant or should I go for a more sedate burgundy. My hair is, as the title of the blog suggests, dark. No, I'm not going to red or blonde. I make an awful looking blonde. I'm not looking to do something drastic. Just something that will tone down the silver and possibly give me a bit of vain fun.
If I were a good blogger, I would take pictures of all the steps and document the results.
I think I will start with the low-priced interesting colors. This experiment will probably take a long time to get decent answers and come to any result. Yes, I could use on-line color try-ons but, they never seem to look right.
I am goign to attempt to get a picture of the glinty silver as a 'before' picture and to compare to the new colors.
Well, off to do some research on dying hair and what I should do and what I should avoid.
Hey- it looks like you haven't posted in a while, but I linked here from Epbot. I loved your comment to Paige about earning the right to wear what we want because we hid our geek for so long. Just wanted to tell you that. It was awesome.
