Jan 23 - Gray Hair

Why is it that my gray hair just multiplied more than ten times in the last six months? I thought I just colored my hair right before Thanksgiving. It took just a month and all of a sudden, there it's sprouting again. It seems too difficult to maintain and manage this gray hair saga. Thank God for those "buy one get one free" hair color deals and believe me it's a steal!

I stated using Preference by Loreal to cover the gray hair and never faded but what happened to that product? The last two or three years it seems like the product did not work as it used to be. I tried Feria, that does not work either. After a few wash, it starts to fade. It seems like I need to color my hair at least every two months just to manage the gray hair I am hiding. Garnier Nutrisse works ok. There's another brand, I forgot the name but that seems to work better. When I had a full time job, I let the salon take care of the coloring. Now, I do it myself since I stay at home.

Coloring the gray hair makes anyone look younger. That is so true. I stay with light or medium browns. I also have tried ash brown, they are acceptable. I tried hi lights and that does not work when roots are starting to show and I need an immediate root coloring. I stay with just one color. When I do the salon coloring, I let the hair stylist make a decision on the color that would suit me. That's when I go to a foreign country and spend for it cheaply (reasonably).

Gray hair is a sign of aging or shall I say a sign of wisdom. Some say it's the stress. I believe in the latter. Last year was the most stressful for me and more gray hair showed up on my head. It's hard to hide it anymore so when it becomes too much to handle, I spend at least an hour coloring.

Doesn't it feel good to look young and hide those grays? Pamper yourself.
