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.

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

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 :)

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.

Roots


I could go on and on with the titles of movies and plays that could work for this  hair blog..Hair, Roots, 50 Shades of Grey, ha! 

Weekly hair update. I was wrong last week when I said that it was week 10 without hair color..today is actually week 10.  I did a side by side to show the difference in the roots so far. I wear my  hair pulled back in a head band or up with a hair clip a lot of the time so for me it's not super noticeable -but then again I'm a person that doesn't look at or notice the back of my hair either so maybe everyone else is noticing and just not mentioning my grey roots. 

Vic and I went to church last Sunday. The church has a big screen up front that shows the words to the songs and at one point a video take from the back of the church pointed at the congregation, I was shocked when I noticed myself up on the big screen and how long my hair is from the back!
