Fifty Shades of  Sexy

           Step One in Going Grey

I have to admit I was a little nervous when I went to my hairdresser Melanie at Bangs Salon to come up with a plan to go grey. I’ve always admired women who proudly wore their hair of  snowy white or grey. They are striking and extremely interesting and I find myself seeing more and more of them. So as I approach fifty within the next two years, I am learning to embrace my greyness. Baby steps..

My hair is colored a dark red, so transforming in this instance involves highlighting strips of my hair to make it a less shocking change. For me, she used a golden blonde highlight that took very well. Yes, technically it is still coloring your hair but it is also allowing the grey to grow out and transition. Total time was about an hour and a half. The result was very pleasing and garnered multiple compliments from friends and co-workers alike. For myself, I love it! I’ve found a freedom in this new change and coloring that is refreshing and bold.

     What it all comes down to is being comfortable with who you are and where you happen to be in life.
      I know some women feel a need to hold on to who they were, but life is far more interesting when you allow yourself to become who you are meant to be.


I hope you will come back for step two in this series. Embrace it, love it.

Grey can be hot and sexy.
