Nine Month Update!

I have now been on this hair journey for nine months. The last time I had color or high lights added to my locks was April 2015. I have saved hundreds of dollars and many hours sitting in the chair having chemicals put on my hair.

Last month was the first time I felt a little in a funk and considered calling and setting up an appointment for some highlights. It has passed and and I'm back on track. I told my friend/hair dresser that I want to make it to the one year mark and then we can talk again about going forward. I do love seeing the silver and am enjoying natural highlights.

I will start with photos from today and then show the progress since day one. I have gotten my hair cut two or three times now-each time a little shorter. I loved my long hair and will probably go back to it but I must say this short  style is so easy for me and I like the sassy feel of it.
I know that from the front you can not even tell sometimes that I have grey hair at all, I can , but when I post pictures to my friends that know I'm doing this they comment that it doesn't look grey. I guess that is a good thing although I'm excited for it to be all grey. If I hate it I can go back and add color but I don't think I will.



Today:

And...some from the past. Here is the last time I had color added...April 2015

37 weeks dye free, hair update!

I have not done an update on my hair since November , it's now been 37 weeks since I have colored my hair in my journey into going grey naturally.
I am 48 years old and decided almost 9 months ago that I would like to stop coloring my hair and let nature take over with the silver highlights. I am enjoying the journey. I have gotten my hair cut  twice since I started this and have another appointment this month. I   am keeping it about the same length now but go in for a trim and to keep my bangs under control. This is a very easy style for me, I just wash it and let it go. When I'm ready to  go out I use the straightening iron on it and I'm good to go. I'm not one to spend much time on  hair or make up..I think it takes me about 10 minutes to get out the door in the morning after I get dressed.

Anyway..here are todays photos.

Transition to Grey-7 Month Hair Update

28 Weeks Dye Free , Hair Update!

The last time I had highlights and color put on my hair was April 22 2015 , this is my 28th week of going grey naturally. It's not as fast as I thougth it would be and I still have a lot of dark hair especially on bottom/back. I'm enjoying the natural high lights of silver peeking through.

Here are my weekly pictures.

27 Week Transition to Gray Hair

Here I am almost 7 months in with no hair dye, no high lights and one hair cut. In different lighting I see more gray than others...It will come. In the mean time I'm enjoying the glitter of the silver when it catches my eye :)

Hair Update! 26 weeks no hair color

Going into the 7th month of no hair dye/no highlights. Looking at my hair part all wonky again..one of these days I'll learn how to part my hair I guess...lol

Weekly Hair Update (23 weeks without coloring my hair)

Good Morning~! My new normal is getting up at 4:45 a.m. for some reason (I think the reason is named Dexter-my miniature dachshund-who has started getting me up at that hour)

I did a quick video update today as well which I will post at the bottom of this blog. 

No major changes, still only salt and pepper looking at the top and when i pull the sides back. 

The link to the video update is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMidRNzdAC0

Weekly Hair Update (week 22)

Pictures from this week:

I don't see the grey when I look in the mirror but when watching back some of my videos I'll notice the silver up on the top when I turn my head just right.   

I'm still loving this shorter cut. It's very easy to style . I wash it at night in the shower and just have to take a straight iron to it the next morning to have this look. No muss and fuss which fits me perfectly.  At this point I have not searched out special shampoo or hair products. I have been changing up my routine but mainly because I am doing some reviews for companies that sell on Amazon and I get the products free or deeply discounted for my reviews.  

5 MONTHS IN Transition to Grey Hair

Hello!  This marks my five month mark in no hair color (dyes/high lights) I did finally get a hair cut last week -my first in five months other than my bangs being trimmed once last May.  I really like it and it's so much cooler and lighter in this hot hot summer we've been having in Florida.

I also uploaded a video on youtube about it. Not sure I'll do the hair updates on youtube since I'm on a weekly schedule here ..let me know what you prefer.

17 week hair update

Well it's now 17 weeks with no hair color/dye/highlights. I'm definitely seeing more gray lately.
Here are the pictures.

Weekly Hair Update-Going Natural

Well I am going on 16 weeks of not coloring my hair. It's a pretty slow process to see the results that I want to see.   I did try the grey/silver hair chalk the other night and have not washed my hair yet so  there may still be some of that in today but I could not really tell much of a difference at all.

14 weeks no hair color-my journey into going gray

Welcome to my weekly update on my adventure into going grey.  It's been 14 weeks since I've had my hair colored.   Before leaving for work this morning, Vic said she liked my hair and that you could really see the gray coming in. Some people may be upset if their spouse pointed this out..I remember thinking that the first time Vic mentioned all the grey coming in (this was prior to my decision to let it go grey) but instead of being upset about it I was sparked with something close to pride. I see grey hair as something earned I guess lol.  I have a new obsession to look at my ever growing roots when I walk by a mirror. I scour my friends facebook pictures that have grey hair and think they are even more beautiful now. 

My hair was dry and looking good this morning and then it started pouring. Now the frizz has started and it looks a bit more wild. Gotta love the Florida humidity. 

I'm thinking of making an appointment to get my hair trimmed. This is the longest I've gone in years without getting my hair trimmed up too. I love the longer hair so I can wear it pulled back or up when it's hot or I have a bad hair day. 

Ok, I feel like I've talked about my hair enough for this week haha! I am trying to make more videos so I may add a video to this at some point...we shall see.
