But as more and more greys came in, it was difficult to get the color just right. The greys were resistant to the dye, so the salon would keep the dye on for a long time.
I wondered, as someone who would eat very healthy, exercise, and go the more natural route for things, why I continued to put this terrible dye on my head.
Then I read the book “Going Grey: How to Embrace Your Authentic Self with Grace and Style” by Ann Kreamer. I loved it, and I was ready to embrace my greys.
But a few years later when I was 50, I’d had enough of the whole coloring routine. It was just too much. I was so tired of the upkeep and using harsh chemicals on my head that made my scalp hurt.
I didn’t want to do any sort of grey blending or bleaching to hide the demarcation line because I wanted no part in putting any more harsh chemicals on my head.
