A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE HAIR SALON

About fifteen or twenty years ago I noticed that I was beginning to get some gray hair at my temples. So I quickly made the decision to get a head start on “beating the age thing” by having my hair highlighted with blonde streaks. The only problem was that it was really mainly blonde instead of highlighted, but no stylist could ever seem to get it right.

What I disliked most about the business was that I had to keep doing it because it always showed dark at the roots and had to be continued. That was both expensive and time consuming.

Recently, I was finally able to convince my hair stylist that I wanted darker hair with blonde highlights. So she put a light brown at the roots and highlighted it just like I wanted. It took a little getting used to because it was a little darker than I had been wearing it, but it grew on me (no pun intended).

As my hair grew out and the color along with it, I began to look more closely at the roots. I discovered that I really have very little gray except for the tiny bit at the temples that I have had all along. My first thought was, “All this time I’ve been spending all that money and time covering up gray that wasn’t even there?!!”

Well, better to find out now and at least I will have a choice. So I’ve made the big decision to let all the highlights grow out and see what’s really there. Then if I want, I can still go back and get it done all over again.

Time is not so much of a factor now, but think of the money I’ll save!! I’ll keep you readers posted as to the final outcome.
