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:

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.

19 weeks dye free hair update

For those of you that have not been here before, I am letting my hair grey naturally and stopping all hair color (high lights and dyes) It's been 19 weeks since I last had my hair colored and almost as long since a cut (I did have bangs trimmed up in May 2015) Last week I finally made an appointment to get it trimmed up but no color much to my long time friend and hair dressers distress . My hair appointment got changed to tomorrow so  it's still the same length as last week. I've been going back and forth with myself on how much I'm going to get cut off tomorrow so it will be as much of a surprise for me as it is for you.

Todays pictures...

I wear it up often because it's so hot and humid here and I enjoy the breeze on my neck.
