Many of you know I have been growing out my natural hair color for the first time in 25 or more years. Well after Sarah gave me a hair cut last week, pretty much all the coloring was cut out.

For 6 month I have struggling with the issue of natural hair color.
Maybe that doesn't seem like much of an issue to you, but it surely has been for me.
I started changing my hair color years ago because it was fun, different and easy.
And just kept doing it. I have used almost every color made. When CAF met me I was blond, then black then red.
But I really wanted to see my natural color. I knew there would be some gray, and oh boy there was...
It came out to be this:

I found that every time I passed a mirror or window and saw myself I thought

"Who the heck is that????"

I gave it a try, and found that I didn't feel like myself.

Oprah was right (again) I felt I looked instantly older.

Is that wrong?

Is that bad?

For myself, after only 24 hours we drove to the beauty supply and

picking a new color, #555 :

And just like that, I feel like me again.

We did leave a touch of gray at the temples.
