if I went totally white I would be tempted to stop dyeing. and two-
tone hair would not bother me all that much--I had black length and
cherry/burgundy roots for about 6 inches, ON PURPOSE, for about 10
yrs. there is a small bad web-cam pic of me on my yahoo profile(s)--
check out LadyLvsNyt or if you are not easily offended(rater R+)
LadyHeresy in the Yahoo profiles and you will find me. (You can also
find a profile for me on Witches' Voice- www.witchvox.com -that
actually tells ABOUT ME and not just an RPG character like on Yahoo.)
But I will not go salt-n-pepper or partly gray because it makes me
look like my mother! My mom was not a bad looking woman--but I am NOT
ready to look like her yet!
I started getting gray hairs at 17 and at 42 now I am well over half
gray-- probably 85%, but it is not evenly distributed. Mom had these
cool white streaks, not me!
My biggest concern is not the color now but the texture. My hair is
nearly unrecognizable from when I was young! It has greatly damaged
my self-esteem. Thin, fine, silky, limp. It is waist length now and I
can braid it into one thin braid, when iw as 20 I could not get all
my hair into 3 or 4 braids as thick as my wrist! Henna does thicken
my hair and for that I am grateful enough to keep using it.
Ravyn, Lady Heresy
