GREY

So we are nearly half way there!! As always, I am having waves of "Oh GODDDD" and just want to reach for the bottle (of dye, not wine...) However at this point in time, I am feeling good about it. Someone actually asked me who did my highlights the other day, as they wanted to have "grey hair" and I explained it was natural, and they WOULD NOT believe me. I assure you, if I was going to pay someone to do this to my hair, I would've done the whole length, not just the top half!!

CHOPPED

So I made the leap, and cut all my hair off. The amazing Premlee from Hershesons did it a couple of weeks ago. It feels great to get all the dry dead ends off from when it used to be blonde! The grey is starting to look more prominent, especially since most of the length has gone from the bottom. Whenever I have a wobble and reach for the dye, I just Google Sarah Harris to keep me going.

SILVER LININGS

Another grey update. It's starting to look deliberate now. I tucked my hair in to get the feel for it being all grey, and decided I would chop all my hair to this length. Photos to follow! They grey, like I have said before, comes in waves with love and hate. It is very marmite. People LOVE it or HATE it. No one is indifferent. I also hate the apology that comes with peoples' snide remarks. But more often than not, people seem to get it, or at least they say they do to my face... Which is good enough.

GREY

A few people have been enquiring about the progress of the grey, so here is a little update.

 

I am at about eyebrow level at the moment. I keep having moments of weakness, when I just want to dye it! Then Paul or other friends steer me back to the straight and narrow. There are some days it really doesn't bother me, and others when I think it looks like someone's dropped a bag of flour on my head. I think it looks best when tied up into a messy bun, as I can really see what it will look like! This keeps me going also. I think the main issue with growing out grey is seeing what the quality of the grey will be like. Mine appears to still be shiny and not wiry, so I will keep persevering! Elfin locks are on their way!
