General Discussion

The hairdresser I had been using kept telling me that I wasn't "ready" yet. Then I found out that he was a Trump supporter, so I stopped going to him. My new hairdresser just poo-pooed what he said and told me that by the color of my roots, my hair would look great natural.

I had been dying my hair brown - which always faded and became what I called Old Lady Brown, and I was sick at looking at that stripe if I waited too long between colorings. It turns out that my hair is a beautiful shade of silver with dark streaks that give it a dimensional look.

My friends who were discouraging me from going natural were quite surprised at how fantastic it looks. My husband was concerned that I would look "old", my friends were concerned I would look "washed out". I cut my long hair and now rock an edgy short hair style. BTW, I told my husband "I AM old!"

I do wear make-up every day though because I have red blotches that are kind of like a birthmark that make me look like someone slapped me in my face, and I got tired of people asking me about what happened to my face.
