it's a 40 thing!

I'm gonna wash those grey's right out of my hair!

If you are in your 40's or up then you remember that jingle & those commercials & you probably sang the title!  The women in the commercials always looked so happy to be washing the grey's away!  It does feel good to leave the salon with no grey hair but after three weeks when they all start coming back I do not feel like singing & dancing!  Thank goodness for root touch-up but that only lasts a week or less!  I swear, if I wanted a head full of grey hair I would have zero on my head!  I've always been told that it runs in the family.  Well, unfortunately the elders got that one right! I have a ton of grey hair and it started when I was twenty!  

I recently colored my own hair and I'm not sure if because it was a home coloring or not but after leaving the color on ten minutes longer than the directions said, I still saw a ton of grey hairs!  I know it's not a bad thing & I am so blessed to have a head full of hair but those grey's make me feel old!  I'm not in a mid-life crisis & I don't want to be twenty again (this is a lie) I'm happy being forty something.....BUT I DO NOT WANT GREY HAIR!  

I've thought about going blonde (hoping I would look like Jordan) but I have never in my life been a blonde & I am not that type of spontaneous that I can just go blonde so I will forever have to see grey hair & every time I wash them away I will forever hear that jingle & remember those commercials (which are very deceiving)!  -paula
