I was home with a sick kid and saw Michelle Obama on the Today Show this morning. Matt Lauer, my yummy morning TV personality, asked the First Lady about the President's hair. Does her husband dye it or not? Honestly, who cares? Do you? I certainly don't. The bottom line is that Barry is HOT! In fact, he has become even hotter with gray hair. In my highly educated opinion, men look more distinguished with gray hair.
On the other hand, women with gray hair, just look old. Now before some of you start getting all porky with me, I don't mean you!! You look awesome with gray hair! But, for the majority of us, we just look old before our time and the hair has lost that youthful shine Darling Daughter flaunts, along with her pouty lips.
So a couple of years ago I decided to deal with the gray hair. Admittedly, I don't have a lot of gray hair. In fact family and friends roll their eyes at me when I point out the ones I do have. Not Stud Boy, of course, he is quick to point each and everyone of them out. Rotten kid! When does he leave for college?
I have tried Clairol's Natural Instincts hair color #26 Hot Cocoa which claims to "cover gray naturally". And there have been a few occasions when I let Ashley, my very cutie patootie hair dresser, put some highlights in for me. Unfortunately, this has resulted in a few incidents where things have gone horribly wrong and my hair has come out orange.
I know it's hard to get past the striking resemblance Hubby and I have to Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey from Dirty Dancing, but notice the very odd color of my hair.
So as much as I adore Ashley from Super Cuts, it was time to make a change and trust the hair to someone new. With the advise of my Thursday Therapy friend I braved a new salon with a new hairdresser, Jennifer. Is it just me or do all hair dressers have adorable girly names? Anyway, Jennifer did an awesome job with cutting my hair.
That or wear a lot of baseball caps like I did last summer.
My cutie patootie is Babette and I LOVE the way she cuts my hair!! BTW you have GREAT hair and that helps!
ReplyDeleteI have faith in Jennifer.
ReplyDeleteI have decided that I wear my gray hairs as proud little reminders...every last one of them.... of nights spent waiting for the key to turn in the lock that a teenager is home or the phone call that his plane has landed and he is home from deployment or the jobs I didn't get and wanted or the decisions that seemed so huge and difficult to me-I can't recall them now but all those points of living that make me the middled age woman with graying mousey brown hair who is kinda proud of those gray hairs!!!
