I dyed my hair for years! I started dyeing on a regular basis when I was in my late twenties. One white streak was good, but gray hair peeking out from the sides and crown wasn’t okay to me at the time.
I’m already done! My ex-husband buzzed me in 2008. When he cut it all off it was completely gray at that point. I would still dye it from time to time, but I grew to really like my gray hair, especially when I’d get nice compliments.
Dyeing and relaxing the same day, no, nope! If you decide to relax your hair, then stick with one chemical process. You should also know that relaxers are very high maintenance and costly!
I like products without parabens, sulfates, or other products which dry out your hair. Since I’m sporting a buzz cut now, I’ve started using “As I Am” a co-wash conditioning treatment. I’m loving it so far. I like to be very low maintenance these days with the summer heat!
Yes, going gray has been the ultimate confidence booster! I walk differently as I greet the world. I love my gray hair and I will not change a thing on this journey.
Like that Nike ad from long ago, “just do it”! Rock it and don’t look back. It’s not easy when you look in the mirror for the first time with gray/white hair: It scared me!
