OBSERVABLE SELF: “I think I’ll just let myself go full gray when it all comes in. Lots of women rock gray hair.”
AUTHENTIC SELF: A full head of gray hair? ALL of it? GREY MEANS / LOOKS OLD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
@sentientdessert I agree - I have fantasies and dark/white highlights/lowlights. And yet… that would mean… (The idea of someday soonish presenting as an age I can’t comprehend being is a struggle.)
@Lena_Tasi It can be difficult... yeah... I still feel like I'm in my twenties, despite having turned 25 a few times now...
I am all white & steel gray. Hair almost to waist. I am routinely stopped by men (and women) who compliment my hair.
That never happened over the decades I spent a fortune coloring it. Never.
@LnzyHou I want to be comfortable with it. I really do. I see it on women and I like it. But it’s hard to imagine it on my own head.
Here’s the good news. Grow it out. If you don’t like it, color it again.
We flatter ourselves to believe the whole world is watching what we do with our hair. They are too busy watching their phone.
@Lena_Tasi A person doesn't get grey hair.. they earn it. Each and every one. And if it is all grey, that's such a beautiful colour.
