Wash out the Gray!!

Me on July 22, 2011 ... next day I dyed my hair again

My hair is gray right now, but after I finish writing this I will dye it back to brown. My hair started turning gray about 9 years ago and since then I have been dying it. I have tried a few different colors, even thought about dying it blonde. I have kept it brown since then. I like to look my best, I'm not vain I just like to be happy with my looks. I changed my hair about 2 months ago, I cut my hair off and let it grow back gray. I needed a change and wanted to see if I liked it. My mother finally let her hair go gray and so did my two sisters and I wanted to join them. I have lived with it short and gray for 2 months and have shocked everyone when they have seen me. Most of the people I know have finally gotten used to my gray hair, but I haven't gotten used to it. I feel old when I see my hair gray. I feel like my hair color is taking control of my life, and I don't want that simple of thing to affect me so dramatically. When my hair is colored I look and feel 10 to 15 years younger. I think that is good! Now everyone will wonder why I dye my hair and they will ask how I can dye it when everyone knows my real hair color. I don't change my hair color for my friends, I change it for me. I don't want to hide the fact that I change my hair color.  I guess if I wanted to hide it I wouldn't talk about it now in this public forum!!
