I wish my gray was completely grown out. It is taking so long. Your hair looks so healthy.
Isn’t it funny how when you’re covering roots, the hair seems to grow so fast, but when you’re growing it out, it takes foreverrrrr....
The last time I had color was a half highlight at the end of June. I was not pleased at the time because she also cut it shorter than I wanted. I was supposed to go back for more highlights in September, but as the date approached, I just didn’t want to go. I kept bugging DH about whether I should get more highlights or not, or lowlights to blend stuff, and he finally said, “You’re never happy with it anyway, so why keep paying money to be unhappy?” I told him he was overstating things, but he said that even when I am happy right after an appointment, the satisfaction never lasts. He was like, “If you’re not going to be happy, why not just cancel the appointment and see how it grows out?” So I did! And I haven’t done a thing to it in terms of cut or color since.
Originally I was planning to keep highlighting, but now that I’ve canceled an appointment, I’m surprisingly happy to just let it go — or let it grow — for a while. So far, I’m finding my hair is darker and less gray than I thought. I’ve got some gray streaks along my part line, but no hard demarcation line. Now I’m curious what it will look like fully grown out.
I’m almost 10 months in and SO happy! I looooove not having to dye my hair every 3-4 weeks and it’s so healthy.
Its looking really good...and it is a real relief not to have to colour every 5 weeks...
"Freedom!!!!!!!"....said in a Mel Gibsen scottish accent.
Thanks! It’s much more gray underneath. I can’t wait to see if fully transitioned.
You look great!! ❤️ I’m a year out now, and it’s so liberating!
I'm almost as far along as you. Mine looks so similar, complete with the reddish dye color on the bottom. I prefer my natural color so much more.
Oh you look fab and I'm so jealous! Having black hair, I don't think there is a going gray gracefully option. When it get's too bad I may just shave my head
It is much harder when your hair is dark. My hair is almost black. When my mom decided to stop dyeing, she had her hair bleached so she went gray all at once.Oh you look fab and I'm so jealous! Having black hair, I don't think there is a going gray gracefully option. When it get's too bad I may just shave my head
Yeah, that would be my other option. Can you imagine the shock of seeing yourself in the mirror the next morning?
You and your hair look beautiful! I think I actually prefer your grey to the color.
