It's like a secret. I'm 33 and have way more than I expected. I feel like it happened over night.

When my boyfriend lost his job in December and it was just me bringing home the paycheck, all that fancy hair salon stuff was the first thing to go. Each month, as I hole myself up in the bathroom with a DIY root touch-up kit, I keep wondering when I'll get the courage to let my hair just do it's natural thing. There is *a lot* of grey up top--and at age 35, I'm just not ready to share that truth with the world. <br /><br />Fabulous concept for a blog, btw.

January I think. So I've been working on growing out the processed color. I like that you are making me think about it as a much deeper, more meaningful experience. ;)<br /><br />I have been back reading--I'm up to the middle of April. I'm sure I'll catch up soon. You have a very entertaining blog.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186530913721113724noreply@blogger.com
